[Welp. Nora is bored. And she's been wanting to do this for a while, so..]


So..... I can't be the only one here who is totally sick of just waiting for cool powers and stuff, right? And I figure since people can get pulses and things from talking about stuff past them used to do, we could just get together and chat about cool powers until someone remembers having one of them.


[She clearly has been giving this a lot of thought.]


Anyone interested? We could meet up at Cold Marble, unless someone knows of a better ice-cream parlor. I'm open to suggestions.


[Or is this just an excuse to go get ice-cream with some friends? Who even knows.]

Oh, you'd rather turn into ice-cream?

Voice

[nowi_wins]

......

[Stunned silence, then giggles.]

You think past me could've been ice cream?

Voice

[siesinddasessen]

It seems like we can have been everything, as long as it was remotely sentient - intelligence at a human level not required.

Though that would have been quite a short past life for you, I'm so sorry.

[If she is being more sarcastic than trolling at the moment, then that might be her actually being quite content with how things are right now. Being given back your normal body along with your memories is nice.]

Voice

[nowi_wins]

Short but sweet!

[She manages to rein in her laughter after a few moments.]

Still, I can't imagine anyone having been food. That would just be silly.

Voice

[siesinddasessen]

There are elves and birds and bugs on this network, I wouldn't rule out anything.

Voice

[nowi_wins]

Whoa, what? Birds and elves I've seen, but has anyone actually turned into a bug?

Voice

[siesinddasessen]

At least two.

Voice

[nowi_wins]

No way! People turned into bugs? What happened to them? Are they okay now? Did they get stepped on?

Voice

[siesinddasessen]

Giant bugs. More likely to step on you.

Voice

[nowi_wins]

Oh! Okay! That's totally better than I was thinking.

I mean, not much but still better.

Voice

[siesinddasessen]

You'd rather be stepped on than have a nasty thing on you, should an echo bring them spells of mindlessness?

Voice

[nowi_wins]

Spell of mindlessness?

I just meant that if you were really tiny, things would be pretty rough. You might get stepped on, you wouldn't be able to open doors, you couldn't do a lot of things.

Voice

[siesinddasessen]

You couldn't sneak into almost every place that you wanted to sneak into, provided that you could get there.

Voice

[nowi_wins]

Hmm, that's a good point. But I still think the cons outweigh the pros in this case.

Voice

[siesinddasessen]

Then good luck with receiving no pulse of that kind, I guess.

Voice

[nowi_wins]

I'm not too worried about it. I've only gotten a few memories back, but it's enough to tell that past me was pretty much human shaped.

Voice

[siesinddasessen]

"Pretty much"?

Voice

[nowi_wins]

Well, you can't really see yourself in your own memories. Unless you remember past you looking into a mirror or something.

But like, I remember playing games and stuff where I used my arms for things, so I know I had pretty normal looking arms. And there were other people in my memories so I can sort of tell how big past me was.

Voice

[siesinddasessen]

Bright little girl.

But what if the other people in your memories only had the same height as you, but not the same height as people here?

Voice

[nowi_wins]

Well, I.... hmm...

Okay, you've got me there. But I guess that's true for everyone. I mean, size is sort of a relative thing, isn't it?

Voice

[siesinddasessen]

But it's important what it is relative to.

Otherwise people will step on you.

Voice

[nowi_wins]

But everyone in the memories I have were pretty close to the same size, so it's a little hard to tell if maybe everyone was really big or really small.

Actually.... how do we know we aren't really small right now? Maybe there's a planet out there where everyone is like, huge and we'd be all tiny next to them. Or a really tiny planet where...

[She stops. This is getting silly.]

You know what? Never mind. I think I'm giving myself a headache...

Voice

[siesinddasessen]

We could well be. There's no reason for all the worlds having people of the exact same size. [Her voice is suddenly almost serious. What if some of those titans were normal sized and the humans in her memory just really small - but no. They had such different heights...

Let's change the subject, this is hitting way too close to home. Preferably by being rude, that gets people off your back the fastest, or at least makes them angry so they'll think about other things.]

But if that's giving you a headache, then you should maybe not think too much at all.

Voice

[nowi_wins]

[The implication escapes her and she just agrees.]

Yeah, it's sort of dumb to worry about stuff like that anyway. It's not like we could do anything about it.

Some genetical engineering might help.
