Everything that just happened makes it obvious that we need a better way of knowing what we can all do. At this point, I don't think I need to tell you that we all need to work together. We already are. We're a coalition of the displaced. It means we can do some good for this world and for ourselves.

So, a few things. I know some people haven't wanted to share in the past. But let us help you. Okay? I get why you wouldn't want to. Trust me. I know it's hard.

1. Can you tell us what power you have? Aside from that, what skills you have, as well. We might want to organize it somewhere. Maybe that new person guide that I saw mentioned.

2. If you have a power edit that you know, have you noticed changes in it? How did it change?
Edit 2a. Have you noticed your power in relation to your personality or experiences? Does it match up?

3. If you don't know how to use your power, @daisy.johnson will help you. She has experience with this stuff.

4. Let @markus.manfred know what kind of safehouse you want. We don't need to discuss here. He's got it all covered.

1. I can lift things or hold them down with my mind.
I can do mechanical repair on robots, most vehicles, and I'm learning how to do utility repair.
I'm good in a fight.

2. It's getting stronger, that much I know. I'm not sure how much is due to @daisy.johnson and how much it's just growing naturally.

[ She doesn't like it.

And because this felt familiar, she decides to draw the direct link to at least make sure it's all gathered in one spot in acse people don't feel like re-answering: ]

A few people talked to @hafid.alghul about this here too.

[secondnature]

Thanks for finding the link. We've had a lot of new people, and I wanted to make sure everything was together.

[Plus, Hafid's manner with people can sometimes be rough around the edges. Which Keith knows all too well.]

Has it changed at all for you?

@markus.manfred

[saviorexe]

Confirming point #4, that the floor is still open for discussion re: the safehouse if anyone wants to speak with me directly.

As for the rest:

1. I can create shielding for myself and others; they hold strong enough to deflect bullets, but also possess the ability to reflect projectiles back with equal force. My skills beyond that have been limited to what I was originally programmed with: basic hand-to-hand combat, which I'm trying to improve, and firearms handling may be the most relevant to this conversation.

2. I haven't noticed any changes, but I've only prominently used my powers recently, during our encounters with the UNA.

There's another question you could pose about our abilities, in relation to how it might be tailored to a person's experiences or personality.

[Anyway. That's his two cents.]

[secondnature]

I need to message you myself. Disappearing after the attacks threw me off. I'll be there soon.

I've also made the edits you suggested.

Have you tested anything other than projectiles?

@daisy.johnson

[evite]

@markus.manfred makes a good point — so far, everyone's abilities, once we know what they are, seem to make sense for them. almost like someone got in our heads before they put these glowcubes in

[ she wonders how many inkblots she was shown. there's a span of time unaccounted for, and with no info to go off of, she's got nothing to fill in the gaps. it's a freaky mystery and she hates it. ]

to answer the questionnaire though:
1 - i don't know what to call it. recycling, i guess. i can take things apart and put them back together. nothing living, but anything plastic / metal / electric, all fair game. i've been making weapons lately, but i'm trying to figure out more everyday stuff. if you've got a broken toaster or alarm clock, feel free to throw me your parts.

2. no changes yet other than just practice makes perfect, but i've always been pretty thrifty. #orphanclubproblems

@leo.fitz

[retravel]

Maybe it wasn't so much that they got in our heads, but that something interacted with our very selves, the same way as the Terrigen mist back home.

[ he hesitates. then, ]

Lincoln always said that Inhuman powers aren't random, either.

[secondnature]

That might be why people don't want to talk about them. I don't mind sharing mine. I guess I should somewhere on here. I'll say it now. I can adapt to my surroundings. Right now, it's just to protect myself. It's more reactive than anything. But I can see where it can go. It went from just protecting my hands to my entire body. It doesn't make me invulnerable, just more ... resilient when I need to be. I'm pretty sure it's because of how I grew up.

[Orphan club problems, indeed.]

Anyway.

Why would anyone want to be in a club for orphans?

@nill.klein

[culver]

I don't know what my power is. But I know how to do other things. I can cook and grow things, and I can do some first aid. I also know how to fight.

How do I figure out what my power is?

[secondnature]

We need more people to stay back and do first aid.

I found mine out in the middle of an attack. But @daisy.johnson can help more.

@stephen.strange

[rehandle]

[ largely, he's kept this to himself - it's not a comfortable power, not the sort of thing people want to know you can do, and the risk is that it'll do more harm than good to have it publicly known. but he's already slipped it to strangers for the sake of getting things done, and Loki's vendetta against it means it's already out there for anyone to find as of the trickster god's last post.

if he's going to preach effective coordination, he may as well put his money where his mouth is. ]

1. I can interact with the neural pathways of other people. Essentially, this amounts to telepathy: I can translate aforementioned pathways to decipher thoughts, and can insert new ones to speak directly into a person's mind, bypassing the implant.

Unrelated to my power, I have combat training, though I predominantly fought using a magic I no longer have access to so I'm not as effective as I could be. Ex-neurosurgeon, doctor. Broad comprehension of and experience with space/time travel from a magical perspective.

2/a. It took a while to train myself to understand what I was accessing, but now that I've got it I haven't noted any significant change other than what practice brings. My experience with neurology certainly made it easier to navigate than it would've been for somebody without my background.

[secondnature]

Do you think you can find anything that was lost in our heads? From when we got here.

@katelin.philips

[covertness]

1. i can manipulate emotions. i haven't noticed any changes in it, but it didn't work against the una soldiers

i'm also a biologist and i've been getting more unsupervised access to the lab i'm working in, so if anyone needs anything analysed, let me know? and if you're willing to volunteer, there's something @clarke.griffin and i want to try

oh, and generally, i think it'd be useful to know if people are willing to give samples or not. sometimes, it can tell us things we didn't know before

[ ooc; slides this here re a blood/tissue volunteer database ]

[secondnature]

If I know someone who'd like to give samples, I'll send them to you.

[And not this strange Clarke person. Who even is she?]

@yalena.yardeen

[motivation]

i can kick arse

[secondnature]

Something tells me that you have more than that to say.

@kaldur'ahm.shayeris

[shorelined]

Thank you for this.

1. I am a trained fighter. I used to have access to Atlantean magic, but I no longer do. If I have a new power, I am not yet aware of it.

3. I have trained individuals with powers and individuals coming into their powers before as well, although not often. I would be glad to help in any way I can.

@daisy.johnson

[evite]

always room for more at the table
i'd like to start making ability training a more regular thing, maybe once or twice a week in a group setting.
if you've got room in your schedule, we can take different days or times, open it up to more people.

@sansa.stark

[isherarmor]

[This is unlike any way she's communicated in the past (the lack of device, for one), and it's still very, very strange, but:]

1. I don't know. Before I found myself here, I could enter my direwolf's mind. Maybe other animals, too. It's called warging. She could enter my mind as well and we could speak through each other. That part was even less common.

I know a little first aid: I can clean a wound and stitch it shut if need be. I'm not much of a fighter, but I have been trained by those much more skilled than I, so I can defend myself with some confidence if I have to. I can embroider, sew by hand and use a sort of machine, whether it's repairs, fittings or making something entirely of my own design. (I can copy others, too. I made a pair of very passable denim pants once.) I'm not a terrible cook, but I'm better at baking. I can sing and play a few instruments that might not be of any relevance here.

I was also part of a search and rescue patrol, though I relied on my abilities as a warg for that.

3. Is she able to help those that don't yet know what their ability is?

@daisy.johnson

[evite]

it's not an exact science, but there's some tried and true methods. for more active abilities, stress tends to do the trick. we've also had some success with guided meditation for more passive skills.

@prom.argentum can vouch for the meditation, and i sent @catherine.chun a few of the old-school guidebooks to look over if you'd like some of those to practice on your own.

@cain.fighter

[blyat]

hey, pretty boy.

1. i can make things disappear and reappear nearby. cant really see em move at all. once second theyre there, then theyre gone. some kinda spatial thing.

2. not really. practiced with it a lot. seems like its limited on how small shit has to be so i can move it. cant move anything bigger than a box.

2a. nothing personal. [Big fat l i e.] reminds me of tech that was installed on my ship.

feels like theres a survey on here every other day.

[secondnature]

Don't call me that.

The surveys are because we need to make sure everyone knows what's going on. We're finally starting to work as a team. It's got to stay that way.

@leo.fitz

[retravel]

This is good work, Keith. Thank you.

1. It's some sort of portal-based spatial manipulation. I open an entry point and exit point. Anything can pass through, unless I close it. As for my other skills, I'm an engineer with a concentration in aerospace and defence. I helped my partner with forensics for our team back home, too.

2. The portals increased in size and range quite significantly in late August (for reference to others, I arrived in the first wave back in June). I'm not entirely sure why, but I had been practising consistently before the increase occurred.

2a. I once dove through a portal after it swallowed my partner before our first date, so there's that.

[secondnature]

I hope this isn't a weird question.

But have you ever seen giant robots be piloted as weapons?

[kleptocratic]

I can steal anything.

And walk through walls. People thought I could do that before, but this is more frighteningly literal.

[secondnature]

Can't those both be powers?

@jughead.jones

[drivein]

1. We've got this down, but I turn into whatever I eat. Not bugs, not vegetables, but inanimate objects. I can't control it.
2. Yeah- uh- getting there.
2a. I like eating things, I guess? Kinda shallow, if you ask me.

[secondnature]

Are you good at using what's available to you to succeed?

@prom.argentum

[mercurio]

hey

1. i'm able to focus better which sounds lame lmao but it's like i have a camera lens or something and everything's sharper and i'm actually not a spaz for like a few mins
made it real handy when i had to shoot things last time
oh yeah i shoot things also i'm okay at mechanical stuff and some basic level coding
also important: taking pics

2. not that i can tell

hope this helps
are you thinking of compiling this info somewhere?

[secondnature]

[Is this where he's painfully truthful?

... Yes.]

I was hoping someone would do it for me.

@thomas.maximoff

[mutriarchy]

i used to have superspeed, now i generate electricity?

i'm trained in diplomacy, negotiations, public relations, some political stuff that doesn't apply here. i can fight but it was kind of specialized to my previous powerset, so without it i'm gonna have to just relearn everything

[secondnature]

You know all that stuff?

@heine.rammsteiner

[whitehair]

kicking ass and chewing gum

[secondnature]

Are you related to Giovanni?

Also, that's not a real answer.

@ignis.scientia

[cheffeur]

Wouldn't this be a good topic for discussion at that group gathering you have planned? For that matter, what date have you selected for it? I believe Prompto compiled a list of birth dates that could be used at excuses.

[LET IT GO, ELSA--!!]

As for any power, I've not discovered one while I've been here. How did you come about discovering your own?

[secondnature]

It's better here because it's written down, but you're right that I messed up about the party.

@kylo.ren

[warfares]

1. I create fire.

2. It began as generating excess heat, concentrated in my hands, but has extended into generating actual fire. Still limited to my hands.

2a. I have a temper.

[ to put it mildly. ]

[secondnature]

I guess it's good that my temper didn't manifest that way.

[Or he's simply learned to control it.]

Can you control the fire or shape it?
