[It's taken Raven a while to get the courage to talk on the Network, not exactly liking the fact that she didn't know who exactly she was talking to, but whatever. Charles could worry enough for the both of them, and she has questions, regarding her abilities. Plus, she has the distinct advantage of looking like whoever she wants, so. She picks a

I'm not sure whether this would prove reassuring or even more worrying, but you certainly aren't alone. I've been suffering similar limitations, so to speak, and I know of others who have too.

[ He raises a brow, smiling wryly. ]

Mind you, there are also robots who have turned into humans, so limitations to particular abilities we may possess hardly seem like much in comparison.

It's a tiny bit reassuring, but only because maybe we'll be able to figure out what's causing it if more people are facing the same issues.

[And no, she doesn't know how to just admit that changing her shape, turning into someone different, is exactly the limitation she's facing, so the fact that others... have without wanting to... It's confusing!]

And I just heard about that. I can't imagine what that must feel like.

One has to wonder if these things are perhaps connected. After all, we are facing things that are undoubtedly changes from what we find natural... [ A thoughtful pause. ] Running cheetah fast, however, that's really quite a talent.

I hope they are connected, that way we can all figure out a way to fix it. [ohgod, don't look at her like you know something, that makes her think you know something. which makes her nervous.]

Cheetahs are fast, aren't they? Did I mix up my jungle cats again?

...Any reason you can run like that?

[ not fear but obvious hope in her voice. IS THERE ANOTHER VAMPIRE OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET THERE BE. ]

[-- well hm, that hopeful tone sounds familiar. If there's a chance she's like them...]

Genetics. I don't know the details of it, not really, but it's the result of a genetic mutation.

[ it's not the word vampire exactly, but close enough jenna still hopes. ]

I haven't tried anything yet, but if I'm any slower I'll let you know.

[Look it is a 13 year old alien all up in this feed!] My abilities are different, too. [Staring at his hand and flexes his fingers. Being tangible almost all the time is still weird.] They take effort.

[oh my! her eyes are wide for a second, but it's with the good kind of shock. the kind of shock she feels when she comes across anyone that's ~a little bit different~]

Yes! Exactly, they take so much effort. Its exhausting, actually.

[because he's blue right] I can still fly, but I can't sustain my intangibility for very long.

A little. But it's nothing I'm not used to already-- [he pulls a finger under the black metal collar around his neck] Hell, it could be worse. Your powers could be blocked off completely! And let me tell you, that's a bitch and a half to deal with.

Whatever it is, I'll bet there's a way around it. Just gotta figure out what the source is.

[geminates]

Your collar restricts you from... what? Working at your full potential?

[hesalreadyhere]

Basically, yeah. Not anymore, but when this piece of shit is activated it can even block my powers completely out, and I'm practically a god over here. Wouldn't be surprised at all if something around here was doing the same.
