Why does everybody get new powers this week? Is it just, like, a thing? How'd you guys get yours?

If there's signups, I want some too!

(Makoto no.)

I don't know how new powers are showing up. Then again, I got mine from a piece of magic jewelry that belonged to my friend's grandma, so what do I know?

[yes_im_kawaii]

Weird. Maybe there's other stuff like that.

[willtolove]

Maybe? I mean, it'd make things easier, probably, but...I don't know.

[yes_im_kawaii]

I want some.

[willtolove]

Don't know where you'd find it, though.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu... There must be something cool somewhere, though!

[willtolove]

Don't you live with a bunch of superheroes, though? Why not ask them to make you something?

[yes_im_kawaii]

I guess so. But then I'm gonna get yelled at by Commander Stupidface about "waste of resources" or something.

[willtolove]

Ugh, that sounds like my mom...

[yes_im_kawaii]

Some people are just always like that!

[willtolove]

I know, right?

[yes_im_kawaii]

Do they tell you what to do, too?

[willtolove]

Yeah, like clean my room, do my homework, all that stuff. I even got grounded for going out and seeing a movie!

[yes_im_kawaii]

Whaaat? Why?

[willtolove]

'Cause she'd already grounded me because my grades were too low. Not my fault if I'm not good at school.

[yes_im_kawaii]

I don't like doing work, either, but all the cool people are smart.

[willtolove]

I know, don't remind me.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Huh?

[willtolove]

Seems like everyone's smarter than me. Including the bad guys, ugh.

[yes_im_kawaii]

How's that?

[willtolove]

They always outthink me, whether it's the bad guys always one step ahead or my friends being better at school and at using their powers. I feel like I'm just going "Yeah, sure, I'll hit this thing and try to stay out of your way."

[yes_im_kawaii]

I'm like that all the time.

[willtolove]

It sucks, right?

[yes_im_kawaii]

Yeah! If I were smart, I could do anything!

[willtolove]

I know, me too. I wouldn't be running into problem after problem.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu.

[elloran]

If you want 'super-powers' I'm sure I could give you some.

[yes_im_kawaii]

That actually works? For serious?

[elloran]

Certainly. You appear the age of many of my child-soldiers, and they are all provided with lasers and grav-boots.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Everyone here just got their powers by being in the right place at the right time ages ago and not dying.

[elloran]

Random chance seems a poor determiner for a soldier. One who volunteered for the proceedure or was given to service somehow would, in my mind, be a far worthier recipient of power.

[yes_im_kawaii]

But they're totally strong now anyway, so there!

[elloran]

Yes, but there is no reason you cannot be strong as well.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Yeah.

[elloran]

So would you like a new set of eyes and flying gear? They will not last forever, but they will give you the opportunity to be a hero, if you wish.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Is that one of those scary things, though?

[elloran]

What do you mean "scarry things"? You'll get your eyes back when you out grow your laser eyes.

[yes_im_kawaii]

AUUUU

[elloran]

I'm sorry, I must have missunderstood. Is there something wrong with laser eyes?

[yes_im_kawaii]

I DON'T WANNA HAVE NO EYES.

[elloran]

You will have eyes. Simply eyes that also shoot lasers.

Really, you asked for super-powers and then seem surprised that they inevitably change you in some way.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auuu...

[elloran]

What does "auuu" mean? My translator doesn't give a set definition...

[yes_im_kawaii]

It doesn't have to mean anything!

[elloran]

Then why do you say it, if it has no meaning?

Some kind of artistic statement, perhaps?
