[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.]

Is it good or bad that it's getting stronger?

I’m not sure I’d like my talent to become more powerful.

Oh, and hello!

[ The soft churn of water in the background is accented by the chirping of crickets - this was recorded very late or very early; it's anyone's guess which. Rutile's words are pensive, but distinct. ]

I've yet to really peruse the libraries around here for anything about talents. My own observations have been... [ here they pause, and then their words are laced with some frustration ] poorly timed.

Has anything changed in the last several weeks? It's possible your inclusions are reacting to something external, amplifying you power.

... Though I couldn't say for certain without more research.

I don’t know how, but I can cause earthquakes. And the first time it happened this rock person ended up poking a hole in the glass pane of a tailor’s shop. What if it gets stronger and I make houses fall on people?
powertotearer: (Evasive)

[personal profile] powertotearer 2018-06-22 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I guess, you really can't know until something happens.
ilda: (12.)

ohai new roomie :3

[personal profile] ilda 2018-06-22 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
She had, like, reddish golden hair. And long legs, like a model!

I don't know where to start, though. I've been trying to remember what I did to cause it, but... I was really just admiring Valdis. Before that, I was just walking around the city.
ilda: (05.)

no worries, we have the other thread to take care of it :3

[personal profile] ilda 2018-06-23 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Is she a friend of yours?

[ She pauses, considering. Then nods thoughtfully. ] You're right. I just need to think of it a little bit more, which is gonna be the hard part... thank you, though!

What's your talent?
rutility: (eep)

[personal profile] rutility 2018-06-23 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I believe you are right, but I don't want to rule anything out just yet.

[A pause, and then their words are deliberate. The truth is that they haven't considered it beyond some passing thought.] I haven't. I don't have the faintest idea what it could be, either. It's clear to me that I must have one, but I wouldn't know how to begin seeking it out.

What did you do?
rutility: (focus (dark))

[personal profile] rutility 2018-06-23 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's a shame they're not on video, because Padparadscha would be treated to the comical grimace that twists Rutile's features. Instead, they'll have to do with Rutile's sullen reply.]

I've had quite enough of things that aren't in my control lately. I don't know how keen I am on finding another. [They sigh.]

ilda: (12.)

[personal profile] ilda 2018-06-23 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. And is it... well, set off by your feelings, too?
powertotearer: (Wistful)

[personal profile] powertotearer 2018-06-24 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
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.

... You're right.

[Padparadscha is always right.]

I'll have to be more active about it. It would probably be safer too to discover it on my own, instead of the middle of the city where windows can break. Just in case it's dangerous.
powertotearer: (Part goes and part remains)

[personal profile] powertotearer 2018-06-25 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
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.
