savetheearth | Text; Evening 4/8

As anyone's noticed from Winter's update, we arrived in one piece. With our pulses/echoes intact, but there's some caveats to that. So... a quick rundown, for anyone interested:

Upon leaving Locke City's barrier, our pulses were not entirely LOST - rather, they were weakened severely. Memories of the Network and regained memories of other lives became fuzzier. I didn't try to transform, but I imagine it wouldn't have worked, although my transformation device remained. But there was still some remnant, or trace of things - but it was like trying to pull back thoughts veiled through static. Just not... QUITE there, but I knew they SHOULD have been. It's a weird sensation, but... it's important. One can hypothesize that the more of these light there are, the wider WE can reach. At the very least, it's enough to keep you on track if you travel outside.

Everything returns in full at a certain point when hitting the Las Vegas barrier. There's a difference, however: This barrier is much smaller. A cursory walkabout leads me to believe it doesn't go terribly far away from the Vegas strip.

The hotel offer is entirely legitimate. If you have super powers.

Unfortunately, that walkabout also turned up one disturbing thing - I spotted a creature that most definitely should not have been there. A hairy little creature. No one else seemed to notice it, and it took off before I could get close enough. It was before my time on the Network, but based on what I know... I think it was a Vermini.

As an side: You can smell CLOUDS cigarette smoke from casinos without even being relatively close to them. I practically feel the need to walk around this place with an air freshener as a necklace.

[OOC - Small note to roommates: By the time of posting this, Lily would have informed any of them of all this. Anyone in that vicinity is free to harass her via action for the evening time, as well.]

I can't see us doing nothing helping matters, either.

[She frowns.]

We have everything to lose, though. You just said it yourself. This is a lot bigger than just Locke City, or Las Vegas. I'm not just going to run away if something bad happens.

I don't know anyone here, true - but... This is bigger than me, you, or any one of us.

I'm sayin' I don't buy it! Sure, there's a threat. Locke 2.0's here and ready to roll, but everything else-- ain't buying it.

[She purses her lips.]

That's a lot of stuff not to buy, really.

It's a lotta bull, y'know. But I've said my piece, and it's not my place to like... I dunno, forcefully stop you or whatever.

I see.

Look, I understand the concern. And I can't promise things won't get messy. But we want to do whatever we can to stop that from happening. We have these echoes and these powers for a reason. We're going to put our lives on the line to help here, if that's what it takes.

That's way too self sacrificing-- that's what I buy least of all. You sound like a GOP presidential candidate.

Ugh.

Let's not get political. This is bad enough as it is.

New comparison: you're too anime to trust.

At this rate I suppose that one's hard to argue with.

...Don't tell me you're gettin' anime pulses. This is taking Otakin to a whole never level-- I ain't prepared for this shit.

My hair turned purple and I transform into a magical girl that I think is powered by flowers.

So, yes, that's... probably accurate.

That's rough, buddy. Real rough.

Considering what I can do, the trade off is fair.

[ snicker ] Y'got... you know... Flower power?

[Long, dull stare.]

Yes. Yes, actually, that's exactly it.

[Given the... activation phrase for her weapon...]

[ cackling endlessly im so sorry ]

It allows me to blow up monsters and be able to punch through walls. I'm not terribly bothered by it, all things considered.

With flower power. [ this is his new favorite thing 5ever and if he ever gets powers, he wants them to be flower power too ]

[She smiles.] Evidently.

I say if it works, one might as well own it in this case.

Y'gotta show me. I mean, if you're gonna romp about my city with your powers, I gotta at least see 'em, right?

...Wow, that was terrible logic. I don't even care.

[She tilts her head.] If you're on the strip here, I imagine it's not going to be long until you run into me anyhow. As it stands though, I'd rather my roommates not start looking at me funny and wonder what I'm doing transforming in front of my iPad.

[...which wasn't entirely true at all. Annie has done just that several times. But... she is still a bit paranoid, even now. She didn't really want the precise process of her transformation documented for posterity on the Network.]

Seriously? Aw, man. Come on, you'll probably wander by when I'm off my shift. [ SIIIIGH ]

[She smirks a bit.] Well, it's not a huge area. We'll probably be around for awhile yet. Though I generally like to not break this out unless there's trouble or I'm training, and there's not exactly anywhere around here that "training" is very viable.

Training? [ eugh ] You seriously gotta train your flower power?

[A little shrug.] Not necessarily, but... It's good to know how to use any skill, isn't it? Anything like that should be practiced when possible.

[Like studying!]
