JOHN

[reaquila]

Nah, my sister doesn't live anywhere near here. She's all the way back in Kinshicho Japan helping my dad.

I miss her sometimes too.

No, you aren't being too nosy. I don't mind. It might be related to a new power yeah.

[ .. yeah, that's far. but he guesses, whether it's a 22 hour drive or a 12 hour plane ride, either way— there's no contact. ]

how do you mean it's being a pain in the ass
like not listening to you, or?

[reaquila]

Yup. It's not listening to me at all.

Handling a demon isn't easy.

[vitis]

you should try bribing it with its favorite snacks
unless that's people as snacks but who knows, wouldn't wanna assume too much

[reaquila]

I actually tried that and then it worked.
It seemed fine with just sunflower seeds.

I would hope that it doesn't eat people....

[vitis]

that's great!
i'm guessing it's hard to just ask, you guys speak different languages or something?

otherwise you'd find out all its favorites

[reaquila]

We speak in the demon language.
I just got a feel for it suddenly. It's weird.

I know Retrospec users have been getting powers from their previous lives.
Have you gained any odd abilities from this app?

[vitis]

kickass
bet you guys could have some cool conversations

[ ... and as for that. hm.

he's not terribly open about his ability. then again, he doesn't go terribly out of his way to hide it. regardless, john will switch to direct message for this one; it's nice to be able to trace those who might tell others about it to the source, after all. ]

sure
if i plant a grape seed into my skin, i can grow vines

[reaquila]

They're not cool conversations in my opinion. The demon's just a little dumb and keeps asking me about humans.

[He pauses at that.]

Seriously? That's nuts.

Does it tire you out at all?

[vitis]

awww
it just curious?

[ tire him out...? you know, it's almost funny to john, noting the differences in questions that people tend to ask first. ]

maybe mentally, sometimes?
the vines allow me to graft onto other vegetation, and i end up sharing my senses with all the plants in an area
when i first started practicing, that could get kind of overwhelming

[reaquila]

Yep, it's just curious.

Guess you can't overdo it with your ability then.
It's an odd power.

What would you use it for? Growing vegetation?

[vitis]

sounds cute

haha, well. that's pretty honest of you
i can't grow edible food; at least, not that i've been able to accomplish yet
but i can make trees move and whatnot, that sort of fun thing

[reaquila]

You might be able to use your power to make some sort of pathway with vines.

Do you think it'd be possible?

[vitis]

a pathway, to where?

[reaquila]

Some place useful maybe? Beats me.

I'm just thinking of other ways you could use your power.

[vitis]

aw
it's all right
you don't gotta think of something useful to do for lil ol me

[reaquila]

Alright then.

I just keep hearing about people getting powers from their previous lives. Sometimes it's odd.

Do you know what you were in your past life? Why this power?

[vitis]

as far as i know, people in my past life with these powers were just called "ability users"
real original, i know.
and i haven't a clue if it's random, all i know is that some people were born with em and some weren't

how bout you

[reaquila]

they could have gone for something that sounds better.

i used to be a hunter.
the old me was either killing or being killed.

[vitis]

you remember being killed?

[reaquila]

Got a few memories of being almost killed.
If I died in my past life then it's gotta be a shitty death.

Do you think the old you managed to get out okay?

[vitis]

[ ... yeah, he thinks his must've been violent, too ]

i mean
past us all died in some way or another, right

[reaquila]

Right.
Just hope that your end wasn't anything too crazy.
A peaceful death would be the best kind to have.
