Fourth Selfie (backdated to day after the fire) - Voice (lolococo416)

[threatenwithcuteness]

*No video because Lola doesn't feel cute enough for video. This is a strictly practical call for assistance and as such she's seeing zero reason to wake up enough to do her hair or anything like that.*

*Cause the girl is tired. So very tired. All the tired. And she sounds all the tired. And a little concerned. And a little like she doesn't really believe what she's saying.*

So... um... a lot of people here have weird silly nonsense powers. How did you know, um, that you had any? Or what they do? Or how to make them do what you want?

And did they make you tired all the time?

[Sorry Lola, he's going to be absolutely no help.]

Are you all right?

[Sounds suspicious, and if she's tired all the time that makes him worried. Sure, he might have noticed her napping on their couch but considering the atmosphere of Floor Six, he thought nothing of it at the time.]

[threatenwithcuteness]

Um, really tired, but I kinda blame that on waking up to the building being on fire.

I mean I've been tired all the time lately, but today that is definitely about the fire, and nothing else.

*Definitely not about using healing powers all night without realizing it.*

[alchemyfreak]

If it's been happening since before the fire you can't blame the fire.

[His voice is enough to give the impression she'd be getting a look if this wasn't video. Don't make him worry about you, too.]

Alchemy can be tiring if you use it a lot or do a large transmutation at once, but- that doesn't sound like what you're talking about. You have to do it deliberately, alchemy doesn't just happen and make you question if you can do it.

I'm sure a lot of things here are similar in that they drain whoever uses them.

[That only makes logical sense in his mind, but still. She seems to be hiding something.]

How long has this been going on?

[threatenwithcuteness]

Um... a few weeks?

*This is what guilt sounds like. Cause now that she's thinking about it she probably should have done something about this the first time she fell asleep in a weird place. Which was over a week ago!*

I haven't been doing anything different! I just do my normal stuff, school, work, judge what people wear but not say anything if I don't know them. Now I'm just really tired all the time.

[alchemyfreak]

Make any new friends?

[It wouldn't be the first time he heard of someone draining the energy from someone else.]

Anything you can think of being different around when it started? Particularly the first day?

[He's less interested in her not speaking up before and more interested in isolating a common factor. There was way too much going on in this place lately.]

i worked with people with powers back home.
different people realized they had them in different ways. usually there would be signs, unexplained stuff happening in times of stress.
as for knowing what their powers did and how to control them, just a matter of time, science, and training.
for some metas their powers drained them or energy or sped up their metabolism so they got really hungry.

[ He switches the settings to private and follows that up with. ]

that's a pretty specific set of questions.
are you thinking you might have powers?

[private]

[threatenwithcuteness]

um... some1 thinks i might

i dunno tho my world is normal

but... it seems maybe i should lok in2 it??

imean i am tired all the time thats something???

[franciscoramon]

if you're tired all the time you should definitely look into it. if it's not superpowers it could be a medical thing.

why does this person think you might have powers? they must have a reason, right?

even if the world you're from is normal, you could have been exposed to something here, or in the journey here, that altered your dna
that was how it happened in my world - no one was BORN a meta
people got exposed to a bunch of weird energy that came through a dimensional rift, and that changed a small percentage of the population

[threatenwithcuteness]

he sorta got less hurt being near me??

his armr got less sooty 2

he thinks i did it but idunno i did feel more tird after

this is alot 2 take in

@dodger/audio

[smokedout]

Powers tend to just happen. Sooner or later you learn how to make them happen when you want them to, but when they first show up you won't get much of a say in the matter.

[A pause.]

What's been happening to you?

[threatenwithcuteness]

I've just been tired all the time. That's not a power.

...But people think I heal things.

[smokedout]

For some people, that is their power. Mutations can be serious disabilities.

...What do you mean 'people think'?

[threatenwithcuteness]

That's a sucky thing to get. It's like winning the lottery but they pay it out in designer clothes from the 70s.

Well, after the fire sometimes people got less injured and felt better around me?

[smokedout]

Yeah, a little.

[He guesses.]

If you wanna perform a test, I... pretty much spent my whole life around mutants. Shouldn't take too long to figure out if it's real or some placebo effect.

[ voice : @redpaladin ]

[tempredmental]

All the time?

[He sounded a little worried.]

[threatenwithcuteness]

Lots of the time?

*Sleepyness is just a teenager thing, honest. Yeah, that's it!*

[tempredmental]

Lola. You're asking about powers and saying you're tired. That sounds pretty connected.

[After all, Allura had worked herself into exhaustion a few times as well just by overusing her quintessence. He was familiar with seeing someone do that.]

[threatenwithcuteness]

I guess... maybe. I dunno.

This is very new to me.

[tempredmental]

Just be careful, okay?

[She was a good person. He didn't want to see her get hurt.]

Voice; un Treasure.princess

[thegreatninja]

That doesn't sound good.

[It makes her think of the white materia and everything that happened around the time of geostigma.]

Where are you? I want to see.

[threatenwithcuteness]

I'm staying in a hotel, second floor, on the corner, I have a balcony. I'll just leave the door open.

*Sends Yuffie the info for where Lola's staying. Doesn't see the big deal having a guest come through her balcony instead of the hall like normal people.*

[thegreatninja]

I'll be there in five.

[She may or may not have been stalking Lola. Since the fire Yuffie has not been okay. She had gotten out but she hadn't been able to help get anyone else out and it bothered her greatly.

As promised, Yuffie is swooping into Lola's room five minutes later.]

Told ya. Lol?

Actiony Action

[threatenwithcuteness]

*Lola's in a big fluffy bathrobe that's sized for an adult so it's dragging on the floor a little. With a face scrub mask on and generally looking like she's going to spend the day getting herself rested and restored. This is the look of someone with no desire to be social. The opposite of Lola.*

Hey Yuffie. I'm taking the day off to try and get rested. Someone's offered to help me figure this out tomorrow. But with the fire stuff and the tired stuff I'm just not going to try.

*She smiles, so she isn't sad, just clearly overwhelmed by everything.*

[thegreatninja]

You look like you need a break.

[She frowns.]

Let's make some popcorn and watch TV then. Who's helping you tomorrow? Anyone I know?
