Ernestine likes you (ok and also me) so she must appreciate a bad person like, a little bit at least. Maybe he was bein a supervillain for a cool reason.
Would u abuse the rights to keys to my apartment or would giving them to u still be a funny joke since a dog lives there now i can't tell.
He didn't care for IRIS. I'm wondering if his dislike was founded in just wanting to be left alone, or if he felt stronger than that. Something must have pushed him to leave Lily and Ernestine.
Funny joke, but still practical. I'd only use your keys in an emergency. [...] Would you want a key to my apartment?
i mean. wanting to be left alone sorta implies to me that they like, weren't doing that, right. I wonder if he was feelin some pressure and felt like he wanted to run away. and what they were like, doing. I guess they wouldn't record that in their own files.
[...] i would alsooo only use it in an emergency, but. I'd like one, for those. [...] seeing as how you might get attacked by some rando psycho who knows he could keep u wounded while still making u project a weirdass illusion and all.
If I was in charge, I certainly would've tried to recruit someone as powerful as Ernest. But that doesn't seem like sufficient reason to up and leave your family. [...] What do you think of IRIS?
Rando psychos really should know better than to attack me when my sister can rearrange their braincells.
Not if they were recruiting in like, a normal way, no. But maybe they had something on him. [...] which is just a guess. Idk though. I mean, we work for them, and it's cool here. But it's also a big gov agency headed by a not-liminal that makes us register our powers right away and puts all the liminal kids in weird shady boarding schools so I can't trust it all the way. [...] When i discovered my new shit jack was like 'go and register right away [sad/serious face]' which KINDA made me wanna see what would happen if i didn't at all, but i did. [...] What do you think?
I do need free cells to practice on? might as well be them.
IRIS is useful. Their methods aren't ideal, but I'd be hard pressed to find better solutions to deal with millions of people with potentially dangerous powers. That said, the government has a seemingly endless capacity for corruption. [...] Gavin refused to register at first. Do you remember?
How is it going with your powers? Have the headaches eased?
Thaaats kinda where I’m at. I get it it’s just sucks that we’re at the front door of all of it. […] omg I was so sure the fbi was gonna come and knock on my door personally in middle school I was lookin up anti torture methods. Such a dick.
Headaches are worse bc I keep trying to read. I’m more than halfway thru this microbiology book tho so worth it.
So stupid, and for no reason. I think he was more trying to avoid our parents than the government. I don't know. We can't ask him[...] He loved IRIS. Or he loved who he got to be with IRIS, which is the same thing.
Pain is worth it for the pursuit of knowledge. Have you found any limitations to your cell manipulation powers yet?
yeah well that's bc the law firm of Clark, Kent n Superman wasn't hiring. like. limited superhero employment opportunities.[...] i wish we all could've found our abilities at the same time and just steamrolled mum n dad (figuratively). i bet that would've made it like. easier on him at first. And you. I was fine it was hair. I've always felt b
[...] Anyway from what i can tell I'm pretttyy sure it's only like. organic things? i can't do anything to metal but i can to wood so. [...]ALso I rly do want to eat up a few more textbooks. it's way easier if i can picture the cells in my head so i'm trying to learn about what they all do and what they look like and how they work whiiich is easier now that i can see them but god why did this come with homework.
Yes, well, he always wanted to do things first, and on his own[...] I was fine too. I don't say that to brag. Much. My powers mean that the first time I accidentally made an illusion, I understood almost immediately what I was looking at. And unlike you or Gavin, I'm not capable of causing physical harm through practising my abilities.
Complex powers require complex understanding. You had intuitive control when you thought it was only hair.
God, psychic harm, though yikes. Hey what was yr first illusion of? That must still have been freaky.[...] and I guess he probs wouldn't have let us be super supportive anyway lmao it would've been the exact same thing no matter what.
I think I'm less concerned about the control thing now that i haven't killed anyone in 2 weeks. i'll get there. AM running into the issue of not having enough to practice on//debating ethics of just giving random ppl little bruises like they think they just bumped into a coffee table but it's my eyes.
He was impossibly stubborn that way. I suppose he didn't even need our support, considering how well he mastered his powers. [...] It was a scrunchie. You'd left it at my apartment on your last visit, but then you were sent to didn't come back for it, so I threw it out. One day, it was there on my counter again.
You should ask for volunteers among the explorers. They love to be used as guinea pigs. Some of them won't even ask to be compensated for it.
he almost for sure just told us so we wouldn't freak about slippysliding everywhere suddenly WHICH i did anyway. [...]you threw it [....] so just like. my trash? BIG waste of a first illusion?
BUT that's a v good idea actually they've already been v useful and my roommate DOES shed limbs so that's somethin
If he could've gotten away with it, I bet he would've told you and not me, just so it would be easier to fuck with me without me figuring out what was happening.
I must have been[...] Yes. I tried to pick up the scrunchie, my hand went through it, and it disappeared. Big waste.
If Vidalia doesn't care about what happens to her limbs, you should try destroying one of them. It would be good to know you can back up your threats.
[...] nah i don't think so, knock. [...]And u were the first one i told about my hair thing even though i knew i'd probably want to also make u bald first, so i'd know.
Yes. [...] I realised if I thought about you, I could make it appear again. Then I practised and learned how to make illusions without an association. But it's still easier when they're grounded in something familiar.
