[He can do this. Who cares if people think he's weird for this? He has people who don't think that, too. He turns on the video and smiles a tiny bit, before speaking.]

So I'm just wondering... a couple of things, really. First of all, how many people are here who are under the age of twenty? It feels like that's a lot of people here - more than you'd usually see in any kind of population. Has anyone tracked that kind of stuff?

And second...

[Here we go.]

How many people had what people might call... powers or abilities or magic at home? Like, stuff that most people can't do but you can do? I'm not counting if you come from some kind of world where magic is common, but where it's rare and people would stare at you for doing it, that's what I mean.

[... He's kind of run out of steam.]

Th... that's what I was wondering. Let me know. I'm not trying to like... track people down or something. I'm just curious.

[He flicks the video off and goes to get a drink of water. That was kind of scary.]

I know how that goes. I've seen enough weird stuff, I don't need ghosts, too.

I wish I were 20 already. 3 years to go, but that's still too long.

[wing_attack]

Growing up's not that great in some ways.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

I'm under the age of twenty, and I guess you could say that I have special powers.

[Truth be told, she did not know what her actual age was, but she could give a rough estimation.]

I've been able to do things that other people can't.

[Video]

[wing_attack]

Yeah? Like what? ... If you don't mind me asking.

[rocketralph]

I used to be able to level a building in minutes with nothing but my fists and I'm going to get that back if it kills me.

_{[Just come in swingin', Wreck-It.]}

[video]

[wing_attack]

[... Yeah okay that definitely counts.]

That's pretty impressive. Your hands don't hurt when you do that?

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

Yeah? Like what?

[video]

[rocketralph]

Back then? No, wasn't part of program.

[anexcitableboy]

...You're talking about real magic, aren't you?

[video]

[walkersystem]

... did you have any powers?

<sub>[Yeah, way to be blunt - but she's a little wary in sharing unless she knows why he'd ask, even if he said he's just curious. There's a reason to be curious, right? He must know about abilities or even have them himself if he's thinking about it.]

[But at least she has the grace to look cautious and curious instead of pushing. Cause she's really not.]

[... it will also be obvious she is, in fact, under 20 years old.]</sub>

Video

[wing_attack]

Uh.... like aliens.

[video]

[wing_attack]

Program?

[Eh, maybe it's just a way of phrasing it.]

But that's pretty cool. I bet demolition companies loved you.

[wing_attack]

Yeah, I am. Not like stage magic isn't cool, too, but that's not what I mean.

[video]

[wing_attack]

[... He scratches the back of his head a little.]

Yeah, I did. I could... um. Turn into a lot of different animals. What about you? Did you have any?

[throatwash]

Well, in this world, most... — ah, native? Trainers begin as children. It's possible the mechanism responsible for our arrival factors age for that reason. ( beat. ) Happy, um, late birthday.

video;

[wing_attack]

Maybe.

[- oh.]

Uh... thanks. I'm Tobias, by the way.

[video]

[walkersystem]

Really? Wow!

<sub>[Absolutely impressed. That must be pretty awful, being stuck without that.]

[Small nod, too.]</sub>

I can find people. It's not that great, but ... I miss it. Do you know why it doesn't work here?

[video]

[wing_attack]

Hey, anything you can do is great. You just have to know how to use it.

[- when did he become the pep talk person?]

And... I don't know. Maybe to give everyone an equal chance? If you can shoot fire or whatever, you wouldn't need a Pokemon to train, would you?

[video]

[walkersystem]

I know.

_{[She shrugs, having heard that before. She does like her ability and is proud of it, but to her it's kind of ... a world different from making ice. Or yeah, turning into animals.]}

Well ... I guess. But it's unfair of whoever did it. It's not like anybody asked if we wanted to be here, anyway.

[video]

[wing_attack]

Yeah, I guess. But we have to make the most of it while we're here, don't we?

[video]

[walkersystem]

Cause we never know when we can go home?

Someone told me you don't remember anything when you do.

[throatwash]

Armin Arlert. Have you been here longer than a few months? I just arrived.

video

[fony]

I've heard that before.

[Multiple times. Not the same every time, but still.]

More people would listen to me, I think, if I were an adult.

[video]

[wing_attack]

Yeah. I have no idea how true that is. But there's a lot of people who have been here longer than me.
