[Okay so he sucks at staying away from the network, but this is important, hopefully not even slightly controversial, and short.]

With all the talk of training powers in dreams, how the Aerie is (or was) connected to this reality, and so on, I was wondering something. Has anyone who had powers in the Aerie tried using them here?

[There is definitely no reason he's asking this question other than curiosity. Absolutely none.]

[notathreat]

Tried it, no dice.

[Probably for the best, considering the shitty irony of being able to grow plants when. Yeah.]

Anybody else cropped up with new powers?

[lifetothefullest]

You had a power from the quarry, right? One of the temporary ones?

[As for the second question, he'll get back to her.]

[notathreat]

Yeah, when I was in the quarry I could grow plants.

[Doesn't sound like much of an offensive power, but the way she used it was highly televised, and it wasn't pretty.

... and she notices that omission there, Lancelot.]

[lifetothefullest]

So it wasn't something you still had upon leaving the Aerie.

[Hmmmmm. And shh, you noticed nothing.]

[notathreat]

No. It went away after I got out of the quarry.

[It's not like him not to answer, so don't think she won't pin him down later.]

@robert.plant

[righteously]

Yup
No go
If that crap was still hanging on I'd be getting yelled at on the network 200% less

( o the lamentation here, what he wouldn't give )

[lifetothefullest]

[Hmm, a pattern emerges. Sort of. It's two data points and even though Lance avoids hard science like the plague, two data points is just as worthless in psychology, but he'll take what he can get.]

What was your quarry power anyway?

[righteously]

Passionate speeches

( sorry about this stupid deadpan humor that does not actually paint a clear picture at all because of who he is as a person )

[lifetothefullest]

Do you really want to leave that up to my interpretation.

[Not even a question here because really.]

@callisto.diamandis

[myfavoritemurder]

I don't know what I could do in the Aerie, but I can do all kinds of exciting new things now.

[lifetothefullest]

What do you mean?

[myfavoritemurder]

I can throw things with my mind, and sometimes I'm stronger than I normally am.

[lifetothefullest]

[Huh.]

Had you figured out your power before you ended up in the Aerie?

@joe.jones

[malta]

[ joe was just sitting and bickering with nile over dominoes because he is deeply and ridiculously over-competitive and she knows exactly how to goad his boomer ass when lance's post popped up and joe went HMM ]

Apparently so

[lifetothefullest]

[That's very vague but at least promising--]

Does it work?

[malta]

I've yet to discover what I can do with the blue power everyone talks about, but apparently I did inherit my other self's power.

[lifetothefullest]

What kind of power did your other self have? Not necessarily the power itself if you don't want to share, but if it was from being in parliament, or the quarry, or from Kestrel involvement?

@samuel.drake

[withmeinparadise]

didn't have one to try. how about you?

[lifetothefullest]

My quarry power doesn't work, which sucks since it was pretty cool and I had a spell like it in Hadriel.

[withmeinparadise]

huh.
after that, the power'd be the least they could do for a consolation prize

[lifetothefullest]

A consolation prize would've been great, though I think I did basically get as close to one as possible. Total strangers are being pretty nice to me for no reason, so it must've been because of the Aerie.

@drake.holloway

[braveoff]

Mine's not my Aerie power. It's different, man. It's so fucked.

[lifetothefullest]

Different from your quarry power, or did you have a Kestrel one?

And what do you mean?

[braveoff]

I had both, and it's different from both.

It's not good, Lance. I think you can probably guess what it's riffing off.

[lifetothefullest]

Aside from me, you the first one with both to try, but my Kestrel power was the same.

[And oh, that doesn't sound good, even though there's several ways that particular 'theme' could be manifesting.]

Are you okay? Is it something you want to talk about?

[The questions are related, but for the first he means physically as well as emotionally; who knows if some of these powers might have effects on their user, especially with what Killian told him.]
