[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.]

[Someone else mentioned alchemy... hm. Same world, maybe?]

So what did you do with it?

[Video]

[garbagechild]

I could turn my flesh into things. Like rock, if I wanted to hit someone real hard!

I could walk through walls, too.

That was useful.

[Video]

[wing_attack]

I - wow. That does sound really useful.

[Video]

[garbagechild]

Yep! Nobody else can do that.

_{[... That he knows of, anyway. :I]}

[Video]

[wing_attack]

If I morph into a fly or something I can go through vents, but not through solid walls. ... I have a few morphs that can dig really well, though.

[Video]

[garbagechild]

Morph?

You mean like transform?

I know someone who can do that. He can look like anybody he wants.

I've never seen him turn into a fly though.

What's it like being a fly?

[Video]

[wing_attack]

Yeah, like that.

Being a fly isn't... great. The instincts are hard to control.

[Video]

[garbagechild]

_{[Wrath nods.]}

Being that small sounds scary.

[Video]

[wing_attack]

It can be. But you just have to learn to adapt.

[Video]

[garbagechild]

Adapting is good.

What other things can you turn into?

[Video]

[wing_attack]

Let's see... a horse, a shark, an elephant, a polar bear, a whale, a goat, and some aliens, to name a few.

[Video]

[garbagechild]

_{[Wrath doesn't know what half of those are, but he remembers the word 'alien'!]}

Can you turn into that one you drew in your book?

[Video]

[wing_attack]

The Andalite? Yeah. Not now though, since... you know. Powers don't work.

[Video]

[garbagechild]

_{[At that, Wrath puffs out a frustrated sigh.]}

Yeah... I know.

_{[And he doesn't like it. :(]}

[Video]

[wing_attack]

I know. But I'm sure we'll be able to do that stuff when we go home.

[Which will probably have to be sometime, right?]
