text; anonymous (how rare)

[thephix]

I have some questions for those of you who have Weaponized either yourself or an ability/power that you possessed before coming to Exsilium.

Have you noticed any ill effects from your Weapon? Whether obvious or subtle, I'd even be interested in hearing about suspicions, if you don't have any solid evidence of ill effects. How have you and your abilities developed over time? And do you think you made the right choice?

If you're thinking about changing your Weapon to something like this, I'd be intereted in knowing your reasoning, too.

Feel free to answer some or all of the questions, and of course you can use the anonymous and/or private feature if you'd prefer.

Thank you for your time.

( Why both? Because Donny is a little obnoxious. When he sees this post is up, he is flopped on the couch, fresh from the shower and enjoying the pleasing exhaustion of training.

So, she can probably hear - see - him typing before a reply pops up. )

anon. (but also private because Donny is dumb.)
I have noticed a dangerous increase in the number of puns I make.

[And this is Max, throwing a pillow at his head.]

permathat.

[bumbles]

( Which he lets hit him, because he is so generous. And also because her aim is good, but mostly because he's generous and moving that fast just after training does not appeal at all. )

Hey!

[thephix]

Can you take anything seriously?

[She knows he can, considering he takes most things too seriously, but that's not the point right now.]

[bumbles]

( Just peering at her over the pillow, and trying to gauge if she's actually mad or just play-mad. )

Um, I t-take-- take you v-very seriously.

( Is it teasing? Is he having a painfully genuine moment?

Nope, he's teasing. In that quiet way. )

Define ability.

perma all that

[thephix]

Any natural skill or... I suppose "superhuman" power is the most common term. I'd like as much information as I can get, so I'm using a broad definition.

Why are you anonymous?

[thephix]

[She wants to says What's it to you? but being rude to one person might discourage other people from responding, and she really wants to get as much information as she can.]

I can be more honest if I'm anonymous, there are things I'd rather not discuss publically.

[Like her own powers, for one.]

permatext permaYOU WILL KNOW MY NAME

[legal_eagle]

Like?

do I have to

[thephix]

[She's wary about saying too much, since she's sure there are talented enough hackers who could trace her tablet and find other conversations where she's shown her face or said or name.

Or shown a bunch of other faces.]

Like a lot of things.

Do you have any answers for the questions I asked or are you just feeling interrogative?

[Okay so maybe she's being a little rude.]

yes B(

[legal_eagle]

Well, you being like that doesn't make me feel excited to share what answers I might have.

Do you mean to suggest there should be experimentation in weapons and abilities with adverse effects?

[queenoftherock]

Why the interest?

[trustycrowbar]

I had the same idea myself, when I first got here. I didn't trust the modifications any more than you do, probably less so. The last thing I needed was to have my hazard suit suddenly shut down, or worse, rip itself apart with me IN it.

But, I can honestly say that there haven't been any ill effects at all. In fact, it now has a beefed-up strength augmentation that just wasn't there before.

Voice/Private

[iniquitas]

I've noticed no ill effects as of yet. Have others reported anything unusual?

[thephix]

[Play-mad]

You say that, but I'm not entirely sure I believe you.

[So very skeptical. Which is hard to do when the kitten is currently trying to play with her hair.]

[thephix]

[She doesn't really want to bring this up, but people are smart enough to make guesses based on her questions, so she might as well get it over with.]

I'm considering changing my weapon.

[bumbles]

If I uh, if I w-wrote it on-- wrote it on a c-cake with icing? W-would that--

( Would that help? Would she be convinced? His eyebrows are raised a little hopefully, chin resting on the pillow.

He has perfected the puppy-dog look, it's true. )

[thephix]

[Ugh Sonya she wants to like you but you make it so hard.]

There's hardly much point in keeping a skill secret so I have an advantage, if I then just let people know what I can do.

IT'S HEISENBERG

[legal_eagle]

[gposonya]

Okay. That's an answer I buy. What sort of advantage do you try to maintain? Combat? Otherwise?

permatext, permanon

[thephix]

I'm simply curious if anyone who has Weaponized their abilities has suffered any ill effects from it. The Initiative don't exactly give out much information about the process.

I DON'T EVEN WATCH THE STUPID SHOW

[thephix]

All of the above.

[Combat, subterfuge, manipulation. Just straight up keeping herself safe. It's useful, having disposable faces.]

neither do i

[legal_eagle]

And without your name attached, are you willing to talk about your powers themselves? Or are you too cagy for that?

can we just popcorn.gif at everyone else?

[thephix]

[Let her think about that.....]

Far too cagey. Especially when no one needs to know my personal details to answer the questions.
