[Try as she might, Sookie can't figure out how to do this anonymously, so at the very least she won't show her face. It's too damn embarrassing.]

does anyone have good tips on faking powers? i need to know in the next few days. thanks!

is there a specific power you want to fake? or do you just want to make it look like you have a power--any power--that you don't have?

the second one. i don't really care what it is, honestly.

you should really do this anon then, but ok.

make it something you already do pretty well. bake pies? say you can bake pies that make people do your bidding or something. Or just that you can bake the BEST pies. etc.

Or make it something related to your actual power but doesn't give away your full power.
example: my blood is blue. (which is only, ha ha, scratching the surface of that power)

or say it is something unable to be demonstrated. or that you don't want to use because it's dangerous (to you or to your audience, depending on the audience). or that you can tell it to them, but then you'd be able to make them forget it so there's really no point.

I really think the best lies are based on truth, though, so what're your powers? and then use that as a basis for your lie

i would have, but i couldn't figure it out. i've never had a phone this fancy before :(

[iPhones are still about a year away from reaching her back home. All she knows are flip phones and Blackberries, like a damn medieval pesant.]

my real powers can't factor into it all, that's the problem. it needs to be definitely seperate. but the dangerous thing might work. i hope.

Ive never really thought about it but i guess if youre just trying to convince someone you have a power you dont, youd better come up with one nobody could ask you to show them?

Like um

Being able to see the future in your dreams but not always being able to remember it?

Or making coffee taste sweeter but only for yourself

just be glad you know what a phone is. some people have never even seen anything like this. XD

but now you have me hella curious about your powers

Why?

i really like the last one, but would anyone believe me? im worried they'll just keep pushing if i say it was something little and kind of dumb

because the producer of my show is after me nonstop to reveal my power on camera and that just really doesn't need to happen.

i'm confused enough as it is and i'm only a few years behind. i can't imagine what it's like for those poor people you and my producer both. its nothing that needs to be talked about.

when are you from?
and they manage. I'm really waiting for someone to go, like, caveman on the phone or like dark ages "burn this heretic device!" or something. no luck so far

uh, no. that's exactly when it needs to be talked about. is it super embarrassing? oh man, there you go. there's another cover-story for your power--just say it's super embarrassing... think dumb kids cartoon potty humor gag things (super farts, IDK) and you tell people that and that's a good way to get people to back off on the "what are your powers?" thing -- well, unless they're like a thirteen year old boy. then you'd be better off telling them anything BUT cartoon potty humor. say you have magic makeup powers or something and they'll leave you alone. probably. maybe. actually idk, on second thought, with the curious kids this place brings, just don't discuss powers because they'll want to see regardless

[After reading through the other responses.]

Tell your producer to fuck off and leave you alone.

I suggest you make up something utterly boring, darling. You could pretend that you have a supernatural ability to sense the presence of tax dodgers!

I know some tricks with kegels. I can teach you how to shoot a ping pong ball at least two feet up in the air. Most dudes are dumb enough to think it's a superpower. I can also make it look like my thumb popped off. Totally unrelated to the kegels thing, but it works on little kids and most monkeys.

[Okay so she's not quite sure what kegels are, but she's got a suspicion so hold on while she looks that up reeeeal quiiiick.....]

[YEAH. YEP. THAT'S WHAT SHE THOUGHT.]

sorry, looking to fool a grown man and not get naked. big change from the usual, right?

Edited 2016-11-23 16:16 (UTC)

i did, but he just keeps coming. i guess it's super important everyone know what i can do, which is just invasive if you ask me

i could probably do that.

[Well, y'know, she can. If they're thinking about taxes at the moment.]

If you don't mind my asking, dear, why don't you tell whoever's asking that it's none of their business what your powers are?

It ain't important. They just want to know what shit they can try and make you show off. They don't need to know it for you to do whatever job they gave you. If they don't need to know it for that, then it ain't important.

Could try to find another job or threaten to leave. Might make them shut up.

Isn't that basically what women do on the regular? Fool grown men and not get naked? Nevermind. Look, if you really need to trick some asshole, find someone who has a superpower that can be used - like...from a distance. Get them to hide and do the thing they do, but pretend it's you doing it. It'll take some planning and practice, but hey, it's better than showing your vag.

r u still a no on big ass scandal???

Some people might but its not like people havent gotten powers that are weird or not all that flashy

One of mine is smelling good

I mean

Being good at smelling things

Not just always having a nice smell

Not that i DONT smell nice usually

Just

Yeah you get the idea

Faking that you have them or faking that you don't?

Is your own power too embarrassing to show off?
