say that one of your powers is an item--
just an item,
not summoning it,
with the same abilities and limitations it has in your actual world--
and if you were to wear a power suppressor:

does the item cease to exist?

does it just cease to function?

my guess is the latter,
but hit me with your ideas

speculate with me, people, before I take this hypothesis out for a test drive

I'm guessing the latter, but I've got another question.

If one of your powers is your alien physiology, does the power suppressor change your entire biological make-up, or just make your acid blood not acid?

valid question

just a guess
[not speaking from experience here, no never, says the man whose previous power set included toxic blue blood for which he frequently used a suppressor]
and ymmv:
but i'd say it's going to put you at baseline human physiology
so no bad blood
and blood extracted during this time will probably remain neutralized
even after power is turned back on
but again, ymmv

now if you're normally not human shaped either,
you're going to be stuck human shaped while suppressed,
in addition to temporarily nullifying any other non-human attributes you have
...making you a generic human

Porter seems to think default = non-powered = human

now as to your bio makup, like, generically?
well, if you want to get that tested while under power suppression,
i can probably hook you up with some interested scientific parties

If it's from your world, then the assumption is it would stop working here if it's your power. If it was an item from this world then it would probably keep working.

do you know a lot about the power suppressors?

That could depend on the item. Does it grant you abilities?

My assumption as well, but you know what they say about assuming. I'd rather test and find out.

I know a bit about some suppressors. Not the ones offered specifically in the contest. Why, what do you want to know?

If the item has a function, doesn't it grant abilities either way? Directly or indirectly? Glasses offer the ability to see, a pace maker offers the ability to keep a heartbeat, a coffee machine offers the ability to have coffee.

Even a paperweight offers the hands-free ability to keep papers where you put them.

i wanted to know what kind of things they suppress. is it science or magic based? are they a power of some kind themselves?

I've seen them mostly science based,
but I wont rule out the likelihood that there are magic users who could make trinkets that limit powers too.

To my understanding,
they operate as a complete power down.

Any and all powers you have listed in your file from arrival will be shut down;
that includes non-human forms even if that is your normal state of being back home.
Like I told one other guy:
Default = Human

If you have a healing power that's keeping you alive?
Power suppressors might not be for you

so it might not work on something that i had before i came here?

no. it's not a healing thing. i want to suppress a curse. i guess that's what it is. i don't know if it's magic based though. i'm guessing it has to be. but it keeps me from doing something i should be able to do.

Tbh if curses were that easy to break...

I guess it depends on how your curse presents itself

If it's not part of your power
But is more like a disease?
It's not going to get fixed by a power suppressor

At least how I understand it

I think we need True Love's Kiss for that kind of thing

[ GROANS]

except that it's the opposite of true love's kiss. my true love's kiss will kill my true love.

[If this isn't Newton, he's having an inappropriate amount of feelings about this anon conversation]

You're not doing yourself any favors if you want insight.

How does this item effect you?

Babe, i feel you. So much

Look, is it something you can discuss or
Is it one of those kinds of curses?
You know. Fight club curse. First rule of bring cursed. Can't talk about details of curse.

Because if you're willing to give details
I can see what I can think of
I'm kinda a scientist tho
Magic isn't one of my phds

Details sort of make being anon a moot point, you know.

[ ugh, let her waffle for a moment.]

i can discuss it as much as i want if you promise never to call me babe again.

how many phds do you have?
also you're anon, how do i know i can trust you?

Edited 2018-06-12 21:59 (UTC)

You don't have to be detailed. Does it enhance your natural abilities? Grant you a magical power? Or act as some sort of conduit? A generalization if you feel safer behind one.

Alright fair trade
For the record, I'm taken anyway so babe was just a
a thing, I guess. Nongender specific
Is dude better?

6.

If I wasn't anon, could you trust me more?
Is there really that much more trust acquired with a name? Cant i just be some helpful idk wandering science guy?

It's
Kinda
A battery?
No

Not really, but
That's
As specific as I'll get

i'm also taken. but term babe is patronizing. you may not have meant it that way but...

six? whoa.
i mean it just helps me to know you're not a bad person if i know you. and/or how to report you if you turn out to be awful.
anon people on the internet do terrible things.

So it gives you some sort of energy? Or something similar? Yes, I could see that its influence on you would lessen at least. I wouldn't try it if you need it to live though.

fair. fair, sorry.
i didn't but that doesn't change the way it is
so anyway

and ok, I feel you. I grew up on the net so I get it

[There's a pause between that message and the next.]

My name's Dr. Newton Geiszler.
[He hits send on that introduction and then quickly adds:]
Call me "Newt."

Yeah, you know. The more I think about it, the less appealing it becomes to try it

i'm blue sargent.
yes that's my real name.
