Hey! This is Max, though probably most of you don't know me. I've been kind of a lurker on here for the most part. But I wanted to ask a question of my own, if everyone's cool with that.

So here goes, I guess:

I know some of us seem to have some powers during our particular moon phase, but I wanted to talk about possible powers you guys might have had before coming here? Back in your own world.

Specifically though, I'm interested in knowing if anyone has any experience with manipulating time, and any possible consequences you know of that came with using that power. First-hand experience or otherwise, either would be useful.

Thanks!

Many times. Consequences varied. In some situations too much reliance on rewinding time can create situations where everything needs to be reset to an original point losing all progress.

But, all abilities will have their positives and negatives, the important thing is to balance them with the outcome you wish to achieve, probably.

Yeah, that consequence sounds pretty familiar. And that's good advice, thank you. I guess that's sort of like saying... "Learn to live with the consequences, and be grateful you were able to do whatever it was you wanted to do?"

I suppose.... I think a better way to think of it is, to learn what you are capable of, and always try your best, even if it doesn't work out the way you want it to.

[analogthis]

That sounds like good advice too. Also more optimistic.

Do your time powers work here?

[1upzero]

I don't think I have them with me here, but, that's alright.

Really? I hadn't heard much about people losing powers. Mostly it seems like people can suddenly do new stuff. Like tase someone with their bare hands.

[Yay for Iris electric powers!]

[1upzero]

Oh! Yes, I think that's something I did gain. I haven't really looked into the alignments of this world yet.

But, when I arrived I only had the things personally on me, so, I don't have access to anything larger.

[analogthis]

I'm confused. Does that mean your powers came from objects?
