Robotic armor and the cat problems in the news, you would think this city doesn't have too many big problems. [She pauses, fingers tapping against the wooden kitchen table she's sitting at.]Or maybe the problem is that the big problems are talked about once, and then almost forgotten by the next day. I've been going through the news over the past

[He's wearing long sleeves, a turtleneck and gloves. His green eyes look into the camera then away.]

If'n I could give up m'powers, I'd do it in an instant.

[She doesn't know who this is, but he's interesting.]

What powers do you have? If you don't mind me asking, that is.

[Kevin looks away from the video.]

I don't talk 'bout m'powers. But I'd give 'em up. M'name's Kevin Ford, ma'am.

[She nods, and gives a small smile.]

Nice to meet you, Kevin. I'm Snow. Did you have powers back home that transferred here?

[inceptionist]

The Core doesn't really give options, does it?

[notadisneygirl]

No, it doesn't. But while it was pulling us here, it would be nice if we got to choose what else happens to us while we're here.

[inceptionist]

It certainly would.

[notadisneygirl]

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be in the cards.

What's wrong?

So I was talking with a Doctor Michael Xavier at that party after the AGI trial, and he said that he could feel me pulling something from him when we shook hands.

[mrbigandbad]

How do we know he isn't full of it?

[notadisneygirl]

Everyone else I've talked to about powers and abilities in this place have told me to go talk to him. He seems to be the leading expert in the field when it comes to them, apparently. Not that I fully trust that, either.

I think this place would make you want some. Especially when you're caught in the middle of a mob, and everyone else is showing off their abilities.

But it does seem like if you had them before, you won't be gaining any new ones.

[notadisneygirl]

But if you only want them for the safety they'll give you in a mob, that's not much of a power, is it?

[zealouspeter]

Why isn't it?

[notadisneygirl]

It's like you're having it just in case. There's no real point to it unless there's a mob, which gets you hoping that you'll be close to a mob.

I pay attention to MAN and whatever's reported about the Darkness baby, at least. Newcomers don't really write the news and I guess maybe most of the populace here is just jaded about the big problems.

Anyway, I haven't heard about anyone with tons of powers getting even more of them, but who knows how public people are about gaining or losing powers anyway? Maybe normal people are relieved to be a little more on par with the behemoths in some way or another.

[notadisneygirl]

If Newcomers wrote the news more, would you read more of it?

[It takes a moment before she answers the next.] Maybe if everyone was powered down instead of powered up when they got here...

[payback]

I read it all, I just don't necessarily think all of it is relevant and those are what stick out in my mind. I realize that news would supposedly reveal relevant trends but when it's restaurant reviews, I don't know about that.

You would probably have to talk to the Core about getting that one enacted.

Are you growing powers?

[notadisneygirl]

There's a lot that's actually kept out of the news, it makes you wonder why that is.

If I could get an interview with the Core, I would be set for life.

I'm not sure.
