[This telepathic message is not signed, and appears in your field of vision without preamble, although the rhythm of the words is slow, almost sullen.]

Hey.

What power did they give you?

Did you have magic before you came here?

Comments

[lalliho]

[The response is...similarly sullen, but Lalli makes no attempt to obscure who he is. It doesn't matter.]

I don't sleep anymore

yes

[wingfic]

You don't sleep? That's your magic? What magic did you have before?

[lalliho]

I can still use it in this world

[all hail high frequency]

I feel the gods with me

I can see and hear spirits

make them do what I want if I'm stronger the spirits of the forest are easier than spirits of people

[wingfic]

[A pause.]

That's really weird.

[ensorcel]

You know, I'm not quite sure! My ability to use magic is dependent on the tome I carry with me, and my mastery of it. I'm much more skilled in physical combat. Seeing as how I have no magic tomes with me, I can no longer use magic.

Is there a way to find out what your power is? I am terribly curious about mine.And yours too, dearie. Don't think I didn't notice you haven't shared what you can do ❤

[wingfic]

You need books to do magic?

My power's weird. I don't know exactly what it is yet.

[ensorcel]

It is the only way I can perform it, yes. I am not so magically adept, unlike my two youngest siblings.

Oh, but how do you know it's weird if you haven't used it yet? Or is it a matter of not understanding it?

[drizzle]

The power to release other people's burdens. That's the power I was informed I had through the letter I was given.

I did. It's a very different power than the one I was given.

[wingfic]

That's a weird power. What did you have before?

[drizzle]

That's the least weird thing about my power. It's the way I have to active it that's the most suspicious.

[All said with some annoyance and embarrassment since it's something she isn't all too keen on doing to anyone to use her power.]

In my country it's an ability known as rain summoning. It's the power to basically call for the rain, control the wind, and use my power to bring happiness to all those who hear my song.

[mech_and_mutt]

I've seen magic before I came here, but I didn't have a scrap of it back home. That's more of a felineko thing anyway.

Apparently my power is something to do with 'vitality.' I don't really get tired and my scrapes heal up faster. But would you believe it can actually be a kind of a pain?

[wingfic]

No. How?

And what's a felineko?

[mech_and_mutt]

I'm

Not really good at controlling it yet. The last time I got in a fight with something, it kept spilling out into THEM, too. It was hours before I could finally get rid of them!

I guess you'd probably call it a "cat person."

[decipheringeye]

[Wow rude, not even an introduction!!]

I can read text written in any language, whether or not I know it. That's just what I've always been able to do, though, I still don't know what power they gave me.

[wingfic]

[She's rude! It's kind of how she is.]

That's a really weird power.

[decipheringeye]

Well, excuse me for having a weird power.

[deem]

Am I doing this right? Hm...

I've seen references to being given some kind of power, but I'm not aware of any modifications other than the same item that seems to be embedded in everyone else. Magic was an incredibly rare thing where I'm from, and androids don't wield it.

[wingfic]

Apparently Qri gave us all some kind of power when she brought us here. I didn't have any magic before, either.

What's an android?

[deem]

Is there some way that we're supposed to know what it is?

Androids were created by mankind in their image, to fight for and defend them. I bleed and I breathe, but...I guess the simple version is that beneath my skin, I'm made of metal and circuits.

[yancat]

You could stand to give an introduction.

[wingfic]

No one's making you answer.

[yancat]

Yet this conversation's already begun. If you're of the coven, the least I can do is make this worthwhile.

I can control inanimate objects.

[needmetoo]

I did have magic back home, yeah. But I can control water now.

Who is this?

[wingfic]

[After a significant pause.]

My name's Tara-Fay.

I didn't have magic back home. But other people did.

[needmetoo]

Oh, my name's Xion. It's nice to meet you!

I guess it's probably really strange, having magic when you didn't before?
