A Question

I have a question for all of you if you do not mind. It has to do with certain powers that some of us are regaining. How does one control something like the sudden arrival of superior strength and speed? It's becoming very problematic for me and I know I've disturbed my roommate on more than one occasion because of it. He's not on the app like those of us here so this is proving to be very difficult for him. Any suggestions for how to control this will be welcome. Thank you.

You can't just not practice for a few weeks.

[OH SWEETIE]

Yes I can see how that would be a problem.

Um... I don't suppose getting reinforced steel would solve the problem.

[dandyofawolf]

I wouldn't want to either. I already feel so empty without having been able to practice.

[dandyofawolf]

I can't exactly afford that option. I'm basically paying for most things with my part-time job and school scholarship.

[toobigtohandle]

Well, we'll have to find you a solution.

[imaginex]

Ah...

I hate to say it, but moving might be easier on you in the long run...

[liberal_arts]

I am interested in supporting your artistic endeavors. The necessity of this is tied into that desire.

If you'd asked a few days ago, I'd have suggested you talk to Zack, but I guess that's not an option right now.

Be careful, I guess? Maybe go somewhere, like the beach, where there's little you can damage, and test your strength and get back a sense of how to move without trouble? If you have an exercise routine, that'd make things easier, but just things like running or moving around or even punching the sand may help, I imagine.

[bitemefightme]

Well, right, I mean...

I don't mind much of anyplace.

I'm actually just....



....Pretty happy, as long as you're there.....

[God, did he seriously just send that? He's giving a panicked stare at his phone.]

[dandyofawolf]

That's very sweet, Orion. However it doesn't change the fact that we should make decisions together. Making me happy at the cost of yourself won't make me happy.

[dandyofawolf]

I suppose. I'm just not sure what solution there is to that right now.

[dandyofawolf]

If you truly wish to then I cannot thank you enough. Please let me know how I can repay you for this.

[dandyofawolf]

That's actually something it seems I may be doing.

My boyfriend offered to let me live with him.

[dandyofawolf]

That's actually the best advice I've seen so far. Thank you.

Though I wasn't aware that Zack was no longer on the app. I admit that I will miss speaking to him freely.

[liberal_arts]

You can repay me by stop thinking about how you need to repay me.

[dandyofawolf]

That hardly seems a fair trade.

[liberal_arts]

This isn't about being fair, this is about helping a friend.

[toobigtohandle]

I'll think of something.

[angealwings]

I can try. Not something I've had to deal with yet, but it's usually how you get used to your own body when it's in a reasonably fit state - move until the way it moves is familiar, with a bit of common sense and all.

Yeah. I guess I know now how he felt for the months after he got and before I did. But he's still Zack, so at least there's that, when Retrospec-related things can be avoided.

[imaginex]

Oh perfect!

That worked out for the best, yes?

[bitemefightme]

Alright, we'll look together then. For something we both like.

Should we meet today, then? This weekend? I'll try to grab a bunch of brochures or something.

[dandyofawolf]

Today would be nice. Even if it's just to go somewhere that I know I won't scare people accidentally.

[bitemefightme]

Alright. Do you want me to come pick you up?

...Have you eaten yet? We can do something for lunch while we're out looking.

[dandyofawolf]

I could use the fresh air so I'll come to you.

Lunch sounds nice though.

[bitemefightme]

Alright. Do you want anything in particular? We can go out to eat if you want.
