I can learn on my own. No one taught me how to use pyrokinesis.

[He listens, as respectfully as he can, and then shakes his head.] Sounds like a fairy tale.

[hollowchild]

I think it's a bit different, but as you like it.

[she shrugs a little at that]

Perhaps. But you're here, they've obviously changed you, the citizens are the way they are, the battle was real. If it's merely a tale, they've gone a long way for realism.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[She's got a point. There's no denying the bizarre, faceless or partially-faced people milling around them, or the fact that he's somehow been rendered powerless. Just because some of it is real doesn't mean that all of it is, but it's enough to be unsettling.]

So we're fighting to save the... World Tree? Because if it dies, then everything dies. Fine. But why bring in people with abilities that might help and then take them away?

[hollowchild]

[that makes her sigh. it's a bit of a sore point for her too]

We've been told that our abilities are, essentially, not compatible with the energies of this place. Giving us back our powers is fatal. And before you ask, yes, the gods apparently made an object lesson of some people. I wasn't here yet.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

That's convenient. [His jaw sets angrily.] The "energies" just happen to render us useless. Or a lot easier to control, at least, since it's their powers we're working with.

[hollowchild]

[mildly]

Yes, it is certainly to the advantage of the gods to summon themselves a multitude of crippled soldiers with little goodwill towards them.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Don't get cute with me. It's obvious that they don't give a shit about goodwill, or they would've, you know, asked first. There are plenty of hero types who would do this willingly - I've worked with enough of them to know that. They're on a power trip, plain and simple.

[hollowchild]

I'm not being cute. I was talking about advantages. If one has to lord one's power, to bluster and threaten and constantly remind, that means one's grip on it is slipping. They don't; they don't really care if we like them, or if we cower. We wouldn't be here if they didn't need us.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

So they really do think they've got it all under control, even though they're depending on us to win their battles.

[He smiles, a distinctly arrogant expression.]

I think I can work with that.
