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?

What's the deal with your surname? If you have one. We don't have them, where I'm from. I'm not stupid, for what it's worth-- I don't need the concept explained to me. I know they're just... family names, or whatever.
I just wanna know... what does yours mean, I guess. If it has a meaning. Where did it come from. If you don't have one, how did you... I don't know, choose yours, when you got here?
Anyway I guess I was gone for a bit, now I'm back, don't make a big deal about it.

So, I know there's a lot going on right now which seems like the perfect time to throw more fuel on the fire.
First off, I hope everyone's doing okay after what happened. I haven't heard about casualties or anything so hope everyone's okay.
Now, getting to the reason why I'm here, some of you may have heard about my hopes to set up a soup kitchen slash safe place for the residents of New Amsterdam. We're oftentimes well protected when things happen but a lot of them are not. They lose their homes, their livelihoods, and sometimes more when things like this happen.
The purpose of this communication is for a few reasons:
1. ideas and suggestions on how to raise the money that might be needed for this
2. ideas on what else might be needed for a place like this
3. possible volunteers to help build, gather resources, and then staff this when it gets off the ground
4. possible problems that I might not be seeing
I'm not a fighter. You guys have that covered. This is more my forte here and it's a way I can help for what I hope is a longer period of time than just being nomadic and going from place to place. Thanks for any input you have.

i've made the offer before, but considering there are a few names on this network i don't recognize, i figure it doesn't hurt to make it again.
if you don't know what to do with your new ability, or you can't seem to figure out what it is, i'll help you. most people prefer one on one these days, but we can make it a group effort if there's a lot of demand. just try not to take anybody out.
and if there's something you need that you can't buy in a shop, i can try and make it for you. i don't charge. i just ask that you find me the pieces, and if it's something i haven't made before, bring me the blueprint. i can usually figure it out.
also: if we have any chemists in the house, i could use a hand figuring out a dendrotoxin from fitz's notes. i've managed to replicate the icer pistols we used back home, but i can't get the cartridges right. if we're going out in the world, it might be nice to have a non-lethal option at our disposal.

What's up Mystery Inc, coming at you live from Mount Everest with a very uncool update.
Basically: one of the sherpas up here isn't actually a sherpa, so me and [Bad username or site: nathan @ drake] yanked him to ask him a couple questions. This is what we got:
- Him and a couple others were hired to make sure that we got to our destinations in one piece.
- They work for a merc outfit called Global Spiral.
- Doesn't know the name of whoever hired them or anything about this person.
- He didn't know why he or the others were hired to do any of this shit.
Some of you guys got kidnapped so I figure whoever hired the Global Spiral guys was calling those shots too. Seems like they wanted us to get to our destinations safe and sound, or as safe and sound as you can be when you've been kidnapped and misled. Our guy was armed and well-trained so these people aren't to be underestimated.[ Nate (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nonscriptum) and Tim will both be around to answer questions, so you can leave 'em here and someone will get to them! In terms of timescale, this is during that 24-48 hour acclimation period! ]
