Shouryuu, Rokuta:

I'd spoken with Rokuta about bringing a friend over after the last experiment ended. If you're free this evening, would you mind company?

[That done, Homura adjusts the filter to address the population at large.]

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the technology that powers the battledome. Is there a way to completely limit ones own powers while fighting within it? And if not at present, would anyone be capable of making it so?

You can turn the cap all the way up, if that's what you mean.

[voice]

[entaiho]

Sounds like fun to me.

Re: [ voice ]

[screwthegods]

The cap? Would that take away any ability beyond that of mortals, then?

And how would it affect someone else within the same space who didn't have any such powers?

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

It only affects the special stuff. Like what those Shifters were able to do.

Re: [ voice ]

[screwthegods]

Then yes, that's what I'm looking for. Thank you.

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

...Looking for some heavy-duty training, huh?

Re: [ voice ]

[screwthegods]

Something like that, yes.

I lost part of myself during the past week. It served to reinforce the importance of honing my strength in every area that I can--and I'm also not alone in this regard.

Re: [voice]

[screwthegods]

It's customary to ask if we should bring anything, isn't it?

[Not that Homura is one for tradition, but he likes these two, so he'll be nice.]

Not one to rest, are you?

[filtered forever?]

[screwthegods]

Only sometimes.

But I'm not the only one I'm concerned about, in this regard.

Familiarizing yourself a bit more with pain, then?

[Voice]

[screwthegods]

Rest assured, this pain I am already quite accustomed to. It's my skill that needs addressing, before the Malnosso see fit to send out another draft notice.

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

With more Shifters who can cancel out power.

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

You wouldn't be, no. This place has a habit of taking the ego-rug out from under your feet when you least expect it.

Re: [Voice]

[screwthegods]

Exactly.

There's no sense in leaving a known weakness unaddressed.

Re: [ voice ]

[screwthegods]

Which is why it's all the more important to learn to keep your balance for when that happens.

There are teachers here. There is nothing shameful about admitting to your weaknesses, and striving to improve upon them.

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

I agree.

...I'm afraid I can't help you with your question, however. I can barely operate the thing myself. But I do know where they keep the manual.

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

That's pretty much the point of the little training round-robin I kinda organize when there's time to. There's always time to learn more. Even the supernaturally gifted gotta get their practice in.

Re: [Voice]

[screwthegods]

I've been told the way, if not the exact means. A manual would be helpful to that end.

So do you have claws to bear even when you aren't a dragon?

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

[Giles almost grins, at that.]

Oh, yes. I had to, to live this long.

And they've served me well enough.

[yup, filtered forever.]

You probably fall asleep sitting up, don't you. And at a desk.

Re: [ voice ]

[screwthegods]

I'll admit to this being the first I've heard of it. If there's room, I might be interested next time you decide to start one.

[screwthegods]

I have fallen asleep sitting up, although I don't work at a desk very often. What of it?

Re: [voice]

[stringless-doll.livejournal.com]

[This isn't creepy stalking at all, nope.]

It's customary to tell your friends a little bit about each other before they meet, too.

Re: [voice]

[screwthegods]

Not all customs are good ones. Breaking this one has been much more entertaining.
