001 [TEXT]

[seered]

It seems to me we are beyond the point of customary introductions, so I'll err on the side of brevity and attempt to get straight to the essential details of this message. My inquiry is simple. How many of you were capable of certain feats in your home universes that you are now unable to perform? Specifics are helpful, but not necessary. I understand this issue might be very personal, in which case I assure you that anything we discuss will remain in full confidence.

Please do not trouble yourselves if you cannot enlighten me regarding the situation. The elaborate ins and outs of paradox space are admittedly vexing, but any information is appreciated. I have been told that I was here once before, but I am sorry to say I don't remember it. Apologies if you were at all friendly with my apparent other self.

Barring that, I consider myself a fan of a great many conversation topics, so it should not be difficult to find an alternative conference. We can discuss our interests, or what we enjoy doing in our spare time, or which department is most worth joining. Perhaps we will even find that we share an intellectual pursuit or two.

I'll go first. My name is Rose Lalonde. Some of you may have already met my brother and his avian counterpart. I enjoy literature and knitting, and I am exceedingly pleased to make your collective acquaintance.

((OOC: Hit up the opt-out post if you'd like me to turn the text off!))

[avian counterpart.... there can only be one]

Dave and Davesprite are your brothers?

[seered]

In an ectobiological sense, yes.
I take it you are well acquainted with them.

[culver]

What does that mean?
Yes. We are friends.

[the collective "we"]

I had allowed myself to think that it was a temporary side effect of marinating in a tube of blue goo.
But it makes sense, doesn't it?
If my powers were functioning at full capacity, I would be able to determine the method by which we could return home.
Whatever brought us here doesn't want us to have that advantage.

[tg]

doesnt this make you 100% impotent
like if you cant do the light thing what do you got left
sure you can knit people some new booties and fly around in your tangerine nun duds
but what else can you do

also you were here before??
thats my first time hearing that

[ex_question191]

[ coloured freaking text. this one is even more painfully obnoxious than usual wow. ]

Hey sup. Kinda sucks being numero dos on the existence front. So what cool feat are you now incapable of?

[seered]

The simplest way to describe it would be a sort of second sight.
I would hesitate to call it true, unlimited precognition, but it certainly had its advantages, especially as far as favorable outcomes are concerned.
I would also hesitate to say my ability is completely gone.
At the very least it seems to be significantly hampered.

[ex_question191]

Whoa so you were psychic? Are... psychic? That's pretty cool.

[There are actually enough points he wants to bring up or respond to that this should be text, and pink is one of his two favorite colors, but he fucking hates the tiny keys and doesn't like Rose enough to bother. So voice it is.]

Can't feel my people anymore.

[seered]

[what]

There are quite a few ways I could misconstrue that. It might be better for you to elaborate before I draw unfortunate conclusions.

[handelaar]

Already did, if you're talkin' about 'em.

[quantified]

You are not the first to question this particular oddity. I have spoken with a number of people who's abilities have been altered since their arrival.

voice

[seered]

Interesting. Are you among them?

voice

[quantified]

I am.

i do not know what most of your words mean

but who is your brother? [Because avian means bird, he's pretty sure, and he knows one person who's got a bird double floating around...]

[seered]

Perhaps you know Dave Strider and the slightly-more-orange Davesprite.
It seems they've made quite a few friends during their time on this ship.

[jilt]

I'd speak of literature with you, though be warned, my knowledge is apparently dated.

[seered]

That's not a problem. I consider myself a fan of the classics. How dated do you mean?

[executiveassistant]

I do enjoy decent conversationalists, who seem to on occasion be few and far between on this ship, but I do have to ask first: why purple?

[seered]

What a shame.
Do most passengers keep their speculation to themselves?.

Why not purple?

[realslimstrider]

so we all got nerfed
it is a full lockdown for you or really irritatingly limited
how are you settling in by the way

[seered]

I can't be certain until I've had the chance to put it to the test, but since we seem to be outside all existing sessions of the game, my hopes aren't exactly high.

Settling in is progressing as expected.
I took the liberty of moving into the room next to yours.

[purrfectlycute]

[ there is only one appropriate response to this. ]

:33 < ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!! :DD
:33 < i know its b33n a long time (at least fur me im not sure about you beclaws wow time lines) but i hope you remember me even if you dont remember your purrevious visit!!

:33 < okay my overwhelming excitement aside im afuraid i cant help much with your diminished abilities purroblem
:33 < as fur as i know this universe oppurrates within diffurent (and obscure/contradictory/really confusing!!) standards than what we were furmiliar with
:33 < so while budgiebutt can get his glow on theres others who cant tap into innate powers or abilities
:33 < if theres a pattern i havent found it
:33 < its an answer that doesnt answer much unfurtunately :((

[seered]

Of course I remember you, Nepeta.
I'm sorry that I don't have Jaspersprite with me.
I think he would have liked to speak with you again.

Please don't trouble yourself.
It seems we exist outside of all game sessions, so something like this is only to be expected
