Lloyd. Please add these sums. 12 and 43 and 7 and 38. Now take the square root and multiply by 13. The answer is what I believe your IQ may be hovering around at this moment.
NOT MATH! CHERRY HATES MATH!!!fixmyresolveAugust 16 2009, 06:51:07 UTC
Let's see... if you add 12, 43, 7, and 38 you get 100. The square root of 100 is 10, and if you multiply that by 13, then you get... 130, right?
But only about 2.5% of the general population has an intelligence quotient of 130 or higher, Professor. You know how much I hate studying, so that would be virtually impossible!
You really think so, Dusty? What sort of change is it?
...
By the way, I hate to point out the obvious, but you do realize you're covered in insects that could potentially - and probably will - sting you, right? Isn't that unwise?
...
Unless you've gained an ability to communicate and harmonize with bees?
Actually, Klarth was suggesting that maybe my special ability has to do with my intellect. He seems to think that I honestly did get smarter. I guess that's okay, but it still would have been much more enjoyable to grow wings and fly around the island a few times or something like that.
But now you'll be really good at school, right? I'm sure you'll be top of the class!
Um... [looks for something to demonstrate, and ends up picking a random table in her room] I can move through things! [drags her hands straight through the object like she's a ghost] See?
[Laughs.] Just because I'm smarter now, it doesn't mean I'll actually enjoy attending school, Colette. And also, being at the top would be kind of boring, wouldn't it? I'd much rather have a few challenges. Being the best at something is too easy - all you have to do is defend your title. You can't learn anything else or improve at all that way!
[Lloyd watches her curiously.] Yes, I saw it! So you're able to pass through other objects now? That has to be pretty convenient - you won't have to worry about tripping over anything anymore. [Laughs again.] I bet you'd make a wonderful ninja or something like that this way. Work on your stealth just a little bit, and you could appear out of nowhere and apprehend thieves.
Well, Professor Klarth seems to think that I have gotten smarter...
I guess I have been reading more than usual lately.
...
Come to think of it, this may be the first instance where I've spent so much time staring at books. With the exception of my sword training manuals, of course!
I didn't do anything with myself, but it looks like you're having some... "problems". So your ability is becoming smaller. That's pretty interesting, Zelos.
A little inconvenient, though, too...
[Peers way way way down at him.]
Then again, being only a few centimeters tall, I bet you could squeeze under doors and sneak around just about anywhere.
[Apparently smart Lloyd is having "that" sort of train of thought because stupid Lloyd would not be thinking of the advantages to being teeny so soon. Think of what one could do at the onsen!]
Wonder what would happen if I accidentally sneezed; we might never find you again.

But how...? I feel completely normal. I don't possess any special powers - not that I've noticed anyhow.

...Did you just command them to move without even saying or doing anything?
[Lloyd's totally taking notes.]

I'm sorry you didn't get a power though...

So what about you, Colette?

I do believe you're not immune to the island this time around, dear.

Hmm... well, I suppose not! But what about you, Louise?
What sorts of special powers did you receive? Nothing about you seems unusual.

Who are you, and what the hell did you do with Lloyd?

Hey, do you have any idea if this kind of thing wears off? [Since he currently seems to be Mr. Genius...]
