Anyone here choose to not use the ability they were given for whatever reason? Or is it sometimes impossible to avoid using it?

I haven't figured out what mine is yet but I thought I'd just check in to see if they're easily controlled when you have figured them out or if they just pop off without preamble. Might be a little bit of a mood killer in certain situations if that were to happen.

Can you turn them off even if you can't actually turn them off?

Understandable.
I'll keep you informed of my progress if you'd like.

[scythias]

Please.

( she might not want to experience that herself but she's curious. )

Might be very useful if you can get it under control.

[sparklequeen]

Oh, yeah. I used a staff. I'm making do with a baseball bat from a sporting goods store right now.

[notathreat]

If shit goes down the people at Red Wings have a stash of weapons, but they won't let you take them otherwise. Apparently carrying a blade around is illegal here.

[Which is bullshit, but.]

[scythias]

And making due is good? It's working for you?

[scythias]

Well, that's bullshit.

( is that the quiet part loud? )

Guess I'll have to figure something else out.

[sparklequeen]

For now. I don't really have much of a choice with the way things are.

[realists]

It is communal for the building but it isn't used by everyone.

[scythias]

I guess a bat's better than nothing. It still hits hard.

[scythias]

What kinds of things are you growing up there?

[sparklequeen]

Hard enough!

[strove]

A year ago as of last month.

[notathreat]

Yeah
I'd sure feel better if the people who know their way around a weapon WERE armed just in case

[And Andy doesn't seem stupid enough to get caught.]

[freightcars]

They gave the person who improved it a nobel prize in 2200

[scythias]

As long as it gets the job done.

[scythias]

I can do okay with my hands but it's just easier if you're armed.

( especially if everyone else around you was armed too. )

[scythias]

Wow.

You ever think you'll get home?

[scythias]

You're shitting me.

[freightcars]

Yeah, I am

[sparklequeen]

That's how I think about it. I think there might be real weapons available SOMEWHERE but I'm not sure how to get my hands on any.

[realists]

Vegetables, mostly. A tomato fruit.

[scythias]

Not very nice to do to a new person.

( she laughs because how freaking gullible had she been. )

I'll remember that one.

[scythias]

And they grow okay in this type of environment?

[realists]

Yeah. All went to shit when the EMP hit and the environmental controls collapsed but otherwise it's fine.

There's loads of compost because it's part of the mortuary process.

My job here is actually to make the transition harder for new arrivals by giving out incorrect facts about karaoke. You were my designated work of the day. Nothing personal.
