I've had a bad morning.

It seemed like a normal morning. I got up, went to class, like normal. But when I got to class, strange things started happening. The people who were sitting in desks around me started just passing out. The weird thing was that I felt more energetic than ever when they did. They were taken to the infirmary where I assume they are still out cold.

I went back to my room. People, animals, it doesn't seem to matter. All of them I passed on my way back to my room fell over.

So, needless to say, I've got myself locked in my room again with my roommate locked out.

I hope this passes soon.

[Tokiya has life-force absorption!]

Hello, everyone. I know you're all rather busy with your newfound powers, but if I could have your attention for a moment?

As you probably noticed, there was some worldly overlapping a few days ago. I think the bulk of it's been sorted out, but I'd just like to double check, as it were.

Chime in if anything's out of place, or if you're not where you ought to be, if you please.

[The video clicks on to an empty kitchen. After a moment the sound of someone clearing their throat can be heard, and then Ariadne’s voice.]

There has been some...minor chaos in our house today. I can only guess it’s thanks to another virus. I’m afraid I haven’t had much time to check the community posts...

[There’s a shifting sound and then clothes resembling something Ariadne’s might wear, appear to be floating in front of the camera.]

To start with. I’m invisible. And then Arthur...

[She’s cut off as Eames walks into the background, looking rather pleased with himself. He’s got a pan in one hand, an egg in the other.]

Eames, what are you doing?

Have a look at this.

[Eames takes the pan flat on his palm and cracks the egg into the pan. He concentrates on the pan and suddenly a flame envelopes his entire arm, heating up the pan and cooking the egg. Unfortunately, some of the fire catches on to a nearby dish towel.]

Hey, watch out! [Ariadne's shape is up and hurrying towards the burning towel. But wouldn't you know her luck? There is a GIANT HOLE in the middle of the kitchen floor now. Unaware, she steps right into it and falls. Seeing as she has thoroughly lost her concentration, she is visible once more.

Out of nowhere two comically long arms stretch out and catch the invisible Ariadne and pull her back on to solid floor. Ariadne sits on the floor, trying to catch her breath. Meanwhile Eames has managed to put out the small fire, and Arthur and Elektra walk into view. Arthur's arms are now retracting into their normal length.

Elektra hurries over to Ariadne, looking rather apologetic.]

I'm so sorry, Ariadne. I didn't know it would happen in the kitchen.

It's okay. I'm alright. Thanks, Arthur.

Of course. Now, what do we say we all take a break with these powers. We don't want any more accidents.

[Ariadne glances back at the camera and realizes she left it on. She hurries to her feet, with some help from Elektra and moves back to the computer.]

Like I said: chaos.

[And she turns off the camera.]

Oh, are you all having fun with your fancy new superpowers? I just found out I can manipulate money!

...

So far, I've only gotten it to work with Monopoly money.


((I REALLY REALLY WANTED TO USE THE ZIMBABWEAN DOLLAR FOR THIS but alas it came after Scrooge's time. 8( ))

How strange... I was able to use abilities that I normally only able to use when I have my dragoon spirit. And also a few abilities that I never had before. It was an unusual sensation to be able to completely blend into a shadow.

What other abilities have anyone else gained during this virus?
