Zehn - [Voice]

[bamfing]

[Well, Kurt is at home with nothing to do. He's finished his homework, goofed off in the Battle Dome, and isn't quite up to crashing in on his friends and seeing what they're up to. Apparently that's annoying. So he has only one alternative - watch movies he's already seen several times or be entertained by Luceti's populace. Which means getting a discussion going. Something simple and mindless to talk about.]

Okay, so everyone. You're on a boat and it shipwrecks on a deserted island. You can only take one thing with you from home. What is it?

... ohh, right, and if you have any kind of superpowers that would get you off the island, those don't count. Or for making new stuff and- actually, yeah, no superpowers at all. Just stuff you bring!

Like old age, for instance.

[...bzuh?

/pause]

I suppose

[bamfing]

Although I'm fine with the whole not dying thing.

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

exactly

[....hm.]

Why no powers?

[bamfing]

Because, it's not really a struggle for survival if everything comes easy, right?

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

If they are vital?

[...obviously he's not from our world, so how to phrase this...]

sight is a power to a creature without eyes

[bamfing]

Well, yeah, the point is not take away that much. Just the stuff that would make it easy for you.

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[Mewtwo kind of sees what you're getting at.]

Thumbs 'make it easy'

You are human? So you were born with them

[bamfing]

[Wow, someone actually called him a human without prompting. You sir, are a bro among bros.]

Yeah, I am. But... superpowers is more like flying, shooting lasers, or fire, teleporting, mind power, and all that stuff. That's why they're super powers.

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[It's the way you're talking. You speak human, you say things in a very human way...]

So it is 'unusual' powers that you mean

[bamfing]

[Doesn't matter! Most people assume 'demon' or 'alien' first.]

Yeah, exactly!

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[I know what aliens look like and you are neither red nor tentacled. >8| ]

What you call "superpowers" are normal for some.

[bamfing]

I know that. The point was that you're not supposed to leave the island. People like to cheat that.

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

What if they are necessary for normal survival?

[Mewtwo this is a game

you are taking it way too seriously]

[bamfing]

[A sigh.]

... like I said, that's okay. Just as long as you can't get off the island and stuff have to work to survive.

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[A pause.]

All right

[sounds like a fair deal to me, man

. . .]

Why ask this question?

[bamfing]

I was bored.

[Complete with an offscreen shrug.]

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[....bzuh]

That was all?

[bamfing]

Yeah! It got people talking. And it's a good way to figure out what's important to you. But mostly it was something to do.

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[what is this novel concept]

strange

[bamfing]

It's not that strange, is it?

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[...pause...]

I think so

[bamfing]

I'm Kurt. [Abrupt subject change is go.]

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[Again, I say: bzuh?]

I am Mewtwo

[my bewilderment bleeds through the page

can you feel it]

[bamfing]

... like the Pokemon?

[Sorry, man. So sorry.]
