[Utena is leaning against a chair in the dorm, away from the bedroom. She leans against the table she's sitting at, eyes closed. If a person were to squint they might be able to notice a faint aura of red surrounding her.]

Y'know, I don't like being a battery. The community and it's rotten sense of humor... I figured I probably see what the damage is before I try to find the old man.

[She sighs as she opens her eyes and leans against her chair. The video cuts out.]

((Utena's power is power amplification. If a character responds they might find those new superpowers become more powerful. Or their regular powers, too.))

A battery?

[video]

[quicktoreward]

You know. Using your own energy to boost other people up or something.

[What do you mean she shouldn't know exactly what her power is? That's silly.]

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

Oh, I see. I take it the community's moved on from the wings and decided to play around in other aspects?

[video]

[quicktoreward]

It looks like it. The community has an odd sense of humor this month.

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

I don't think I've noticed anything different since the wings disappeared, myself...knowing my luck it's just not gotten to me yet.

[quicktoreward]

It's been a while since I had a virus, I was hoping that it'd just forget me again.

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

Sadly, I doubt any of us are so fortunate for long.

[video]

[quicktoreward]

I guess so. At least if nobody's around it's just...glows. I guess.

[See that faint red lowing, it's back.]

[baaaaseball]

A battery?

[quicktoreward]

A battery.

[baaaaseball]

That's a strange power to get. At least you didn't get something that could harm you, right?

[quicktoreward]

I give other people my energy so they get powered up. I don't know if that's harmless to myself but sheesh. Kind of boring.

[baaaaseball]

Yeah. But you'd be an essential member of any superhero team for sure!

[quicktoreward]

But I don't want to be the human battery!

[baaaaseball]

Better than the human shield.

[quicktoreward]

At least I'd be in the action.

[baaaaseball]

Heh, that's true.

What power would you rather have gotten?

[quicktoreward]

I don't know. Flight would have been awesome.

[baaaaseball]

I would prefer super strength myself, though flight would be extremely useful.

[quicktoreward]

I'm already pretty strong. Not super strong but I am an athlete.

[baaaaseball]

I'm kind of athletic as well. But imagine! You could pick up a whole building with super strength!

[papillio_tempestatis]

A battery? What do you mean?

[quicktoreward]

Energy source. I make people more powerful.

[papillio_tempestatis]

I... see. How did you work that one out?

[quicktoreward]

[Because it happened before.]

Eh...it was pretty hard to figure out.

[papillio_tempestatis]

I can imagine. It seems like something awfully subtle.

[quicktoreward]

It is, I guess.

[papillio_tempestatis]

But really, how did you figure it out?

[starblaze]

That kind of power doesn't seem so bad.

[quicktoreward]

I guess not.

[starblaze]

It could be a lot worse, right?

[quicktoreward]

You're right. It's not exactly useful if I'm by myself, though.

[starblaze]

Well, you did say you don't like being a battery.

[quicktoreward]

I guess I did say that.

[starblaze]

So as long as you stay away from other people, it'd be like you don't even have a power.

[makewayforroze]

A battery?

[quicktoreward]

I give others a boost.

[makewayforroze]

You mean, more energy?

A battery... Is that so? |
