Bingo should not be giving people with laser powers or whatever an unfair advantage! They already have an unfair advantage just by having lasers!

[overtwohundred]

oh pumpkin
here let me call 911 for you

[ ask her why. just do it. ]

[thesettingsun]

I can complain on social media if I want to, it's not against the law.

[adoringpast]

it doesn't have to be literal, dumbass

[thesettingsun]

Do you know that? Did you find a FAQ?

[saburai]

Were you actually hoping to go for 100% completion?

[ because that's pretty damn ambitious... ]

[thesettingsun]

No, but it's in the middle column and the center square has a QR code. Jim's mentioned QR codes before so it might be important to get a bingo there and I'm not happy that one way is impossible for me.

[glaciers]

Is it in a bad spot on your card?

[thesettingsun]

Middle column. Which makes it harder to get my QR code square.

[seizedtheday]

What about special talents? I've been thinking that might work for mine.

[thesettingsun]

It's an option. My talents aren't that good for that kind of thing, though. If I write a story and there's somebody hanging around but they aren't paying attention, does that count? What about dressing well?

[frisyr]

Yeah I don't know what I'm supposed to do about that?? Maybe we'll have to do a Commander Earth or something, you know? Power of heart or whatever? Can you find a kitten to save?

[thesettingsun]

Have you heard of 'venting'?

[okitactless]

are you sure
maybe you just haven't discovered what yours is yet

[thesettingsun]

Possible, but not helpful for filling out bingos either. Also, I'm not sure if having ink for blood can count as a power, which is what someone I've seen in my hallucinomemories has. It's more like a quality.

[youraffection]

U GOT 1 2
i know i saw that and i was pissed!!

[thesettingsun]

Right?? And mine's in my middle column, so there goes one way of getting a bingo with my center square. It's unfair.

[doublesmall]

sucks to be you then

[thesettingsun]

[Does Chuuya think he's a whiner... aaaa, now he's embarrassed about this post...]

I'm still going to fill out everything else! It's just stupid that I can't do this one.

[chargebomb]

Wow
Chill
Also what do you even mean by powers

[thesettingsun]

Super strength, flying, laser vision, stuff like that. Pick up a comic book.

[explodosafe]

Time to learn some magic tricks, huh?
I got that spot too.
Really hope it's no bad omen with what's starting to become the norm here.

[thesettingsun]

Maybe we all have superpowers and some of us just haven't gotten them yet. And normal-ish memories are luring us into a false sense of security.

[me_matey]

having powers aint all its cracked up to be homeshit

[thesettingsun]

How so? Did you get stuck with a stupid one?

[commandertoolbelt]

have you considered using the power of friendship

[thesettingsun]

I'm taking this seriously.

shows up fifteen minutes late with starbucks

[feistytrader]

Have you tried the power of your words or fashion or something?
It's worth a shot.
Maybe your retail voice counts as a power. That's the strongest power there is.

[thesettingsun]

The power to sound like I don't hate every second of my job is pretty fearsome.

[wordcarvings]

[ He sees this much later, sorry, he's been busy. ]

The only one I have is the ink thing and that would probably be a bit unsettling to some. I suppose that both of us need to figure out something else.

[thesettingsun]

It'd be pretty unsettling, not to mention you shouldn't just bleed in front of people randomly anyway. Maybe you can paint someone's portrait and that would count?

[viktorymaker]

Absolutely rigged! I don't have powers either, but I don't like losing so I've been trying to think of a loophole.

I haven't had any luck so far, though. Any ideas?

[thesettingsun]

Using special talents has been suggested, and I think that's more likely to actually work than the power of friendship, which was also suggested.
