Hmm, well! That was fine, actually. I did swallow a lot of salt water though, and I didn't like that.

[ Bleuhghghhh. Even just the memory of all that salt-water, enough to make her sick, is disgusting. ]

[perfectdistance]

Hopefully you don't have to go through that again.

[powerplay]

If I do, I want my healing abilities back! Then it would be way less of a pain.

[ Figuratively and literally. She really did turn out like, fine though, mentally speaking. ]

[perfectdistance]

You can ask the Watchers about that. They can make deals.

[powerplay]

I did make a deal for some of my abilities back. It's not healing, though.

Say, have you found anything interesting in the game room? I was wondering if we could ask for video games.

[perfectdistance]

I made a deal too.

There's that wall with letters on it. But they're all facing the wrong way.

[powerplay]

What kind of deal?

And are the letters upside-down or something, what is the wrong way?

[perfectdistance]

For a part of my magic back.

They're backwards.

[ mhyk why are you like that? ]

[powerplay]

Wow, that's weird. Maybe you're supposed to play the game with a giant mirror.

[ Just up the difficulty of Scr*bble more than it already is why don't we. Power would suck at that game. ]

Can you move stuff around then?

[perfectdistance]

[Play it upside down and backward and also in English and French and Japanese at the same time.]

Yeah, twice a week.

[powerplay]

[ You think Power can read one language let alone three, upside down, and backwards. ]

Oh, same as me! Twice a week is a strange limit. Is it also for ten minutes?

[perfectdistance]

[i'm not sure she can spell]

Ten minutes if it's a small amount of stuff, but five minutes if it's a lotta stuff.

[powerplay]

[ I think she could like probably write some in hiragana and katakana but like. Kanji is a nebulous bust. ]

Ohh, did they tell you how much is "a lotta stuff"?

[perfectdistance]

A whole cabinet full of stuff, more or less.

[powerplay]

What can you do in five minutes?

[perfectdistance]

You remember that memory with the cutlery comin' down? That sorta stuff.

[powerplay]

Oh! I guess so?! If you open up the cabinet and get everything inside?

[perfectdistance]

Pretty much.

What kinda power did you get back from the Watchers?

[powerplay]

My blood manipulation.

[perfectdistance]

Oh? Pretty cool.

[powerplay]

Very cool!

[perfectdistance]

Gonna show it off some time?

[powerplay]

Did you want to see?

[perfectdistance]

Yeah, I'm interested.

[powerplay]

[ Well, that's apparently all the encouragement that Power needs to show off because she has no sense of 'maybe you should be saving these skills for later when you actually need them'? It's fine, she won't be in another cyoa (probably) and she has one more charge if she must.

Because she's holding out a wrist and without prompt, a cut appears on the inside there and blood spurts out -- but instead of simply bleeding, it seems to be somehow guided to her other waiting hand, where it begins to take the form of... a knife! Looks like a pretty standard kitchen knife in shape and size, though, you know... bright red instead. And when she has apparently bled enough for the knife, the wound stops and she swings the thing around a little. ]

A weapon on demand! I am my own defense! All would be wrong to try to attack me!

[ Clearly proud but also quite happy to have her ability back, even if it's limited. ]
