After the event; Text; UN: cooledition

[force_a_change]

[Someone who is new here has gotten a bit of a surprise, and not just the recent insanity either. Mostly the fact that she can't do certain things she's always been able to do.

So she's going to the network to ask a vital question.]

⊙△⊙

I have a minor question to ask of you all, but mostly people here who have powers from home. It's a silly question, really, but it's been bothering me since the whole unfortunate events that went down.

[Get to the point, Asakura!]

Anyway, my question is this; have any of you lost access to a skill or power or ability you had before you ended up here?

un: no

[terribletwos]

i can't get around places like i used to.

[ Though there could be another explanation for that. ]

[force_a_change]

[What a weird username, is the only thought she has at first.]

I'm assuming you mean a method of getting around that isn't walking, yes?

[terribletwos]

yeah, it's not walking. i can still do everything else though.

[force_a_change]

Hm, different from me it seems. I'm unable to do anything beyond the basics, it's quite dist--off-putting.

[When you can normally change the data of the world? Not being able to do it is very jarring.]

i know some people who ahve but not me
i still have my powers but it does eat up chroma when i use them

[force_a_change]

How nice for you.

[satanslash]

hey you asked

[force_a_change]

True, but I was hoping to hear that I'm not the only one who has lost access to their powers.

[penpoint]

What did you lose?

[force_a_change]

Somehow I doubt you'll believe me but, the ability to manipulate the data of the world.

[penpoint]

To what extent? If you can change and shape the world, to what extent could you?

[force_a_change]

I could create a closed space where I have complete control of everything within it, as in only I could change things.

[Just not going to mention how she could be overridden by another stronger interface.]

By coming here? I don't think so. But I haven't tried.

[force_a_change]

Oh dear, I would suggest you try before something like the past events happen and you find yourself defenceless.

[nojohnyouare]

You know I can fight. I have what I need.

[And that Mai can already do a lot with a plastic sword...]

[force_a_change]

If you say so...

[mysophobic]

I haven't lost access to it, it just...doesn't work as it normally does?

Which is weird, but I guess it's for the best, really.

[force_a_change]

[She's going to start wondering if she's the only one who has had a skill taken away, yes manipulating the world itself is a "skill" to her.]

How would it work normally? If you don't mind answering, I mean.

[mysophobic]

[ It is really strange for someone to lose a power entirely. Shigeru kinda wonders what's up with that. ]

Well normally I can disintegrate organic material as well and inorganic things. But my powers are only working on inorganic things, which is strange but I guess it might be for the best. Not that I've had to use it too much here, thankfully.

[badluckblues]

unfortunately no, mine still works exactly the same

i do know a woman who can create summons, but they're not as large. also important to note, using our abilities seems to drain our chroma pretty quickly

[force_a_change]

That seems to be how things are, at least from the answers I've gotten. People still have their skills but they require Chroma, but it's not like that for me.

I can't use any of it.

[badluckblues]

hm

the prismals like to say we were brought here by their gods. maybe those gods didn't like something you could do

[ He's only half-kidding. Qrow knows for a fact how petty and fickle gods can be. ]

[uncaging]

Yes, the way my power works has changed completely since I arrived here. In a way, it's a relief to see I'm not the only one.

[force_a_change]

Oh, my powers and how to use them hasn't changed. I can't use them at all.

[uncaging]

I'm sorry to hear that. Do you know why they don't work? Is it something to do with this world?
