Then sign me up.

[ She sips her coffee idly. ]

Have to keep busy, right?

[thephix]

You don't have to, but I don't think either of us are the type to be idle.

[Like at all. Ever.]

[janebond]

Speaking of idle.

[ She takes another sip of her coffee and then puts it down on the table, stretching. ]

I owed you a demonstration.

[thephix]

Only if you're sure.

[For once, she won't push for information even though she wants it, out of respect for Nikita.]

[janebond]

[ She nods, and crosses her legs. She doesn't have to almost-meditate, she's sure, but it's safer this way to concentrate. Nothing hums or glows or expands, but she's attuned to her body, and knows when the change occurs. ]

All right. Try using your own powers.

[thephix]

[Max watches without doing anything so uncouth as leaning forward or anything, simply keeps her eyes on Nikita as she moves - or, doesn't.

And as soon as she speaks, understanding dawns. Though she still tries to shift, something little, like the color of her nails, but nothing happens.]

I see. That's an incredibly useful power.

[And a dangerous one, if people find out about it.]

Are you blocking the power, or is it... gone?

[She's praying it's the latter. Even if she likes Nikita, Max still needs her power.]

[janebond]

[ She shuts it off immediately once done - there's no need to flaunt it around Max, and then reaches for her coffee mug again. ]

It's just blocked. I have to say, it's... interesting.

i definitely meant "former" in that last tag i'm not good @ words

[thephix]

[Max tests it just to be sure, watching her nail colour change from the dark red to a pale blue.

Good.]

There are a few like that in my world, and they are considered quite a threat. I doubt you need the warning, but you may want to keep that skill to yourself, if possible.

[janebond]

You don't have to tell me twice.

[ Considering everyone gets powers on arriving here. ]

I just need to keep track of who needs theirs to survive.

[ She's a killer, true, but she's not out to hurt people deliberately. ]

weh :c

[thephix]

[Max hums, considering.]

It seems as though no one has suffered fatal consequences from the nullifying tech, perhaps no one here relies on their power in that way.
