[A ponderous, quiet sound of crystal tinkling against crystal comes through the feed for a moment or two before someone takes over. It's a deep, androgynous voice, calm and somewhat light, as if with no concerns to speak of.]

I think that display earlier in the month taught us all a little bit more about these "talents" we grasp in coming to this world, huh? But I wonder if anyone knows even more than that yet. Do you think Dreamfolk past have written about this for us?

A strange thing happened recently, too. I felt as if I'd been leaving aside this so-called talent of mine, almost...but in my absence from it, it seems to have become ten times as powerful. It seems like even a neglected talent can flower unexpectedly.

Now I'm wondering whether all the people training so hard earlier this month know that as well. [There's a slight, rolling laugh before the message ends, with another shimmering sound like falling ice.]

Yeah. I guess, you really can't know until something happens.

Yeah, um...it's restoration. It hasn't gotten stronger, but...well, I can restore rotting things to good condition if they haven't gone too bad. Usually, I do it with food, so I can help donate things that are otherwise going to be thrown out.

The downside is that it also works on bacteria and stuff like that. That's what happened with the parasites. I got the treatment, but because of my talent, all it did was weaken them. I had to spend over a week at a research facility getting constant showers of the stuff to kill all of them, before my Talent could restore them.

Yeah. It's scary, though. I don't know how this might affect me in the future, so I don't want this to get stronger.

I don't know.

[He sighs.]

I really don't know what to do about any of this.

Not so much that, but...well, I don't know if I'd even be able to control this. Or where I'd even start. Is there a way to turn off a Talent? I barely have to think about what I'm doing in order to use it.
powertotearer: (You and all the regret)

[personal profile] powertotearer 2018-06-30 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
I...I guess.

I just don't like not having control over something that's happening to me. Or because of me.
powertotearer: (A promise in vain)

I guess I don't know how to truly think about things, then.
powertotearer: (Confused)
