[hello assguards, have a sort of perplexed-looking boy. he's sitting outside heimdall house, for anyone who... may be in the area. or whatever.]

Heeeey... [ah, such an awkward pause. seth looks mighty uncomfortable about this whole talking-into-a-camera-without-seeing-anyone-else thing—he's basically figured out how the broadcast magical bracelets work, but that doesn't make it any less weird.] Uh, so, hi. Wow, that was a great start! Cool. I just was kinda wondering, it seems like a lot of people here had some kind of... power, or something, back home? And they can't do it here anymore.

Or, I mean, at least there are three of us. We're not the only ones who got screwed, right? Other people got their powers taken away?

[well, not that seth has ever really considered "being able to turn into a giant wolf" to be a power, exactly. but it's simpler than explaining it.]

Man, this place is super weird. I mean, besides the whole kidnapped to help save the world business... which is pretty weird, too. But it's so quiet without being able to hear the pack. —Uh, the tribe. Or— ...I'm rambling.

[he's a split second from turning off the camera function when it occurs to him:] Oh! I'm Seth, by the way. Hi. [okay now he's turning it off BYE]

Hi, Seth-niisan!

[Have a cheerful wave. Conan's got his camera skills down pat.]

Ne -- when you say 'power' what do you mean exactly? And you've been kidnapped before?

[video in perpetuity on this end orz]

[clearwater]

[wait what] Huh? Seth what now?

[but uh anyway:] Oh, man, this is weird too. We're not really supposed to talk about it... [but a whole lot of this stuff isn't supposed to have happened, so.] I guess I'm kinda... like a werewolf. Only without the full moon thing.

[ditto that.]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Niisan! Where I'm from, it's kind of rude to call someone just by their name -- so 'niisan' is how you call a boy who is older but not old enough to be a parent!

... a werewolf without the full moon. Does ... that mean you turn into a wolf?

You're not the only one who got screwed. ( ) It's a running theme here. Personally, I'm just surprised by how many people had powers to take away in the first place.

video in perpetuity!

[clearwater]

I haven't really gotten specifics out of anybody yet, so... not really that surprised yet.

[he anticipates it though, at this point.]

You, too, huh?

[waytoserve.livejournal.com]

Not me. ( ) I've not lost anything. Not anything I've noticed, anyway, other than maybe my sense of autonomy.

[You can see the face of a teen with green eyes, dark skin and light purple hair. He smiles soflty.]

Hello Seth, I'm Laurent. it's nice to meet you too. I had my powers taken away too; someone that was with me is gone now and it feels empty inside.

The pack?

[man he really shouldn't have said "pack"

well ok not like any of this is exactly normal circumstances. still. seth, you're a dumbass.]

Yeah... yeah. Like a wolfpack.

same /o/

[aeterno_arma]

[S'okay, Laurent's not gonna judge the poor big puppy.]

Ah...an interesting choice of words, sir. [Could you be...?]

[Charles is just scrolling by, doing some reading to get an idea of what is going on here, because nothing is making enough sense yet.

But this one post does.]

So you're a mutant?

[clearwater]

I... guess... so? [that seems like such a mean word :< mew tant.] Don't mutations kinda have to be isolated? My pack's been able to phase since like... the beginning of time, basically.

[inherence.livejournal.com]

Mutations have been happening since the beginning of time, my young friend. From single-celled organisms to bipedal homo sapiens - we're all the product of mutating genes.

Some mutate only so differently.

I'm sorry, that was disingenuous of me to do - I'm Charles Xavier, a professor. You say your name is Seth?

[ the "hearing things" comment is mostly what he finds interesting here ... even though obviously he didn't hear the voices of other people in there. unless a persona counted as another person ... ... whatever. ]

Sounds like pretty much everyone did, but we're supposed t' get something else in return.

[clearwater]

Okay, well—that still sucks, but at least we're all in it together!

[eh... yeah... something like that.]

Get something else? Haha, uh, no offense to the Norse myths or anything, but I'd rather keep my old powers.

[renovates]

Pretty sure most people are the same way about keeping their old shit.

[classifidol]

My name is Takane Shijou.

[ yes, that is the thing she chooses to address. ]

viiiiideeeeeooooo forever

[clearwater]

Uh—okay! Cool, I'm pretty sure I won't be able to pronounce that right on the first try.

[he tried with conan and it just really didn't go all that well.]

[Have a dark haired man who looks LESS THAN PLEASED. But at least he's figuring out how this ridiculous bracelet thing works.]

There are those here who have had much more than just our power taken from us.

[i.e. him.]

[clearwater]

[more than a power? yikes.]

Like what?

[dorkways.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I had badass powers that got taken away too. Man, just as I was getting used to them!

[clearwater]

[ahhhh he feels a lot better knowing he's not the only one.]

It totally sucks, right? I heard we get some other kind of power in exchange, but I'd way rather have my old powers.

[occulthymns.livejournal.com]

You had powers? But... you look human. [Pfft, what even. Humans don't have their own magic, they have to use runes and formulas.]

video;

[clearwater]

Yeah, now I do. Since I got my powers taken away.

[pout.]

[Werewolf? Meet blue hedgehog. A talking, blue hedgehog.]

Join the club, man. Powers got sucked up like soda through a straw. Some folks even lost their forms, but I ain't one of 'em.

[clearwater]

Whoa. [peering... closely.] You seriously didn't get your form taken away, huh? That's lucky.
