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

*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?

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

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

[franciscoramon]

i see.

[ It's been a busy few days and if she'd made someone less hurt and less sooty, chances are this had been during or just after the fire. A really stressful time. Definitely the sort of circumstances that could trigger some latent powers. ]

if you want to come to my workshop later and i could try to set up some tests
see if we can measure things and get you a definitive answer?

i know it's a lot to take in. it might just be a coincidence. but if it isn't... it's like you said. there's loads of people here with all kinds of different powers. you wouldn't even be close to being the only one

*There's a click of someone turning on their microphone, and then a pause as they hesitate to answer. She still sounds very tired and very unsure.*

...okay...

I wanna know, one way or another, whatever this is.

At least it isn't creepy death powers.

*That last bit was mostly to herself.*

[franciscoramon]

see! a silver lining.

seriously tho, i've known some people with some powers that sounded pretty unpleasant at first, and they found a way to own them,
and use them to do good.

if you do have some kind of healing ability, think how amazing that'll be, once you can control it! you could be the best doctor ever.

how about you rest up as much as you can today and come by tomorrow morning? i'll see what i can do.

[threatenwithcuteness]

I'm not really going to get to be a doctor ever, I don't have the grades or the smarts.

But I do like the idea of helping people.

*The idea of making people less injured and their clothes look nicer definitely has an appeal to it.*

I'm in a hotel after all the fire stuff, I can just use this time to do all the personal health spa stuff that's too weird to do with nine roommates. That should help me relax.

[franciscoramon]

first responder, then.
don't need grades to do that - just enough training and bravery to be the one who gets there right after a disaster.

perfect idea.
get your strength back up, treat yo self to a spa day, eat a good meal, get a good night's rest
and tomorrow we'll start work figuring out what's what.
