[It's been about a month since this weird, glitchy-looking styled message has appeared on the network, but here he is again. But instead of a list of quiet, seemingly random questions, it's a pretty legible question.]

There are people here from different sorts of worlds, with different sorts of abilities, and experiences that border on the supernatural.

The longer I'm here, sometimes I find it hard to believe this is anything more than a strange dream, or something along those lines.

I understand science and machinery. I don't understand the supernatural, only in the sense of Videogames and Science Fiction.

If you have abilities or experiences that are different from this 'normal' I understand...

Tell me about it.

Your magic, your reality, supernatural creatures or abilities...

I'm interested in that.

this is relatable content
you think youre something special and then you come into a place where everybody else is something special and you just fade into obscurity
like a mediocre band that didnt really make much of its genre
like i dunno
the nickelback of powered individuals
anyway is there a 25 characters or less limit on explaining things because its going to be extremely hard for me to condense just how bullshit my reality is
and youre not my therapist so why would i make you endure that

[bunnyblock]

Nice of you to spare me the tl;dr.

Though I can't imagine how it feels for everything to change so suddenly you feel what it's like to be an 'ordinary' person.

That aside...

You can give me the short version.
Can you Terraform or something?

[chumpelstiltskin]

the long and short of it is that all my godly powers and shit were kind of a means to an end and once we actually hit the end they were mostly like
decorative i guess
like decoupaging a trash can

anyway
i guess i can tell you
im not doing anything with it
im a time travelling sort of guy who also flies and stuff

[bunnyblock]

You can time-travel and fly...

And you 'don't do anything' with it?

I honestly can't imagine something like that.

Maybe I wouldn't tamper with time...

But flying sounds ...

[Amazing, honestly.]

Were you disheartened from them because they became 'obsolete' in your goal?

[chumpelstiltskin]

nothing productive i mean
i fly when i need to change a lightbulb or whatever
or when im not jazzed on walking

time travel is a big untouchable mess
especially with all the alternate universes and the portals
its like trying to stick your dick in a hornets nest like why would you get involved in something like that

not disheartened nah
i used them when i needed them and now i dont need them so i dont use them
makes it easier to slip into the whole normal person bit

[bunnyblock]

Maybe you should get a job as a professional lightbulb changer.

[Hahahahaha.]

Makes one wonder if this place is just another one of your 'alternate universes' or 'portals' your powers made you walk into.
I don't think I'd mess with time, anyway, even if I had the power to. It sounds messy, as you said.
And then I think about time paradoxes and wonder if they're possible.

[He wouldn't want to meet himself, at all. Ugh. What a gross thought.]

You want to live just a normal life now?

[chumpelstiltskin]

monotizing super powers feels very risque
especially here
what would the avengers think
what would uncle ben say

theyre definitely possible
its an intricate tapestry
or something less elderly

yeah
pretty much
i packed all the adventure i need into about 5 years
im ready to settle down and change some lightbulbs apparently

what about you
are you special k or raisin bran

late due to con week, my b

[bunnyblock]

I don't know who the avengers are, and if you're talking about Uncle Ben from America...
...

Nevermind.

[He doesn't know enough about America to make fun of you, except for the fact that he knows they perfected Pizza so he has nothing bad to say about that.]

Anyway.
I don't have any special powers. Not really, I guess.
I'm good at building machines and coding programs.

...

And I'm undefeated in most video games.

no problems fren

[chumpelstiltskin]

those are useful skills to have
maybe just as useful as flying
maybe more than unuseable time powers

hmm
that sounds like a challenge
but the last video game i played kind of fucked me up
so i havent played them in a long ass time
do they still make mario games
