Kind of forward for a first date, I know, but do any of you have access to tech that can give a guy a clean brain scan? Looking for foreign organics, not the chip.

And has anyone tested the limits of the empathy bond? If not, consider this recruitment for some extreme handholding. Also forward, but I promise I'll buy you a drink as soon as I get my allowance.

That's what wild speculation is for. But no, I guess we aren't going to get any solid answers with no access and limited resources.

Were there any causalities in the fire? Other than the nurse.

Four others died, though over forty were killed in the violence that came after.

Damn.

[ Not unfamiliar, though he's assuming Morningstar would've picked up on corrupt elite poisoning the population. Hopefully. ]

I don't know if it was part of the plan or not, but I guess it's a good thing you guys were around to help.

[frostedplum]

I think so too! Whatever they've done to us, it has its uses.

[stabilis]

Nice to know someone's still looking on the bright side.

[ not kidding! although text might make it hard to tell. ]

Before I forget, have you done anything like this before? Tests or anything with weird abilities, not holding hands.

[frostedplum]

I always try to. Sometimes it's hard, but it feels better to look at the bright side.

I've tried out my ability a little. I've only shown it to one other person and that was before I even knew what I was doing. It's gotten a little easier since then.

[ abilities tho ]

Do you mind if I ask what your ability is?

[frostedplum]

I don't mind. I'm just not sure all it encompasses. I can make things colder or hotter. I've made frost and ice appear using my hands, but I haven't been able to produce fire yet. I'm a little scared to try.

sorry, disappeared for vacation!!

[stabilis]

First of all, badass. Second of all, maybe have someone standing by with an extinguisher if you do try. How much control do you have over the ice? Is it touch based?

welcome back!

[frostedplum]

That's a good idea! I'll have to see if anyone wants to volunteer.

As for that, yes and no. I can place my hand against a surface and control how much frost is formed, but I can also just spread ice across my hand holding it in the air. So far, I haven't sprayed the ice outward from my hand without touching a surface, but with the way this power seems to have grown stronger, that may come later. Or maybe it's always been powerful, and I'm only starting to understand it more.
