well if you have enough friends who are willing to go to any lengths necessary to support you i think it could count

[thesettingsun]

You're a very lucky person if you can say that.

[commandertoolbelt]

lol i don’t know about that
i don’t think the power of friendship is actually on my side

but, like, there definitely are people who can make friends with literally anyone so i think it counts

[thesettingsun]

Point taken. Those people can use the power of friendship which may or may not qualify for this square. I am not one of those people, so I'll try something else.

[commandertoolbelt]

hey, maybe you can use the power of skepticism then!

[thesettingsun]

I don't think you can just stick anything after 'power' and have it work. The power of pizza. The power of thumbtacks.

[commandertoolbelt]

they never said you can’t!
i mean they left it pretty vague so why not take advantage of it

besides the power of pizza sounds awesome
but is it like, you can summon pizza out of thin air?
is it that you make the perfect pizza every time?
i’d be happy with either one honestly

[thesettingsun]

Okay, good point, pizza would be a great power. Change that to 'the power of brussels sprouts'.

[commandertoolbelt]

dude if you get creative you can make anything work
like even if you can’t think of anything better there’s always catapulting brussels sprouts at your enemies

[thesettingsun]

I think realistically the best you could get with that is slingshotting them, unless you've got a catapult lying around. Did you get a catapult in the mail?

[commandertoolbelt]

well
no
but i could probably build one

[thesettingsun]

I think that would count as your power of carpentry anyway. Build a catapult, hit somebody with something, check off a square.

[commandertoolbelt]

well if that counts why wouldn’t anything else?
everyone’s got some sort of skill so you’d just need to find yours!

[thesettingsun]

Maybe I'll write a story where Jim gets eaten by a walrus and that'll count.

[commandertoolbelt]

i know you're joking but i would 100% read that

[thesettingsun]

I probably won't do it for bingo, but I'd write that story in general.

[commandertoolbelt]

if you do you should share it on the network
i can't be the only one who'd get a laugh out of that

[thesettingsun]

Absolutely. I'm sure practically everyone on Retrospec would appreciate it. Except the ones with no sense of humor.

[commandertoolbelt]

after everything jim's done?
they'll probably like it too!

[thesettingsun]

That's true. Even the nicest people who don't like to laugh at other people being fictionally eaten by walruses have a breaking point.
