Do people like potlucks here or is that mostly just a Midwest thing?

Also, I was accidentally sent too many novelty food erasers and I can't send them back, so they're 50% off. Get them before the mystery thief steals them all.

Hi! Jack told me I should ask you about your powers changing after the storm? Would that be okay? I'm not trying to be nosy, I just think that mine also changed. Please feel free to tell me to mind my own business!

i like eating at potlucks, i just hate when they specify we can't bring store bought. nobody wants to taste my cooking, carol, you're just being a control freak.

[failson]

Wow, do people actually do that? Let the people bring Flamin' Hot Cheetos, Carol.

[rafflesian]

YES and they're the same people who make everyone play secret santa and guilt co-workers into doing things they don't wanna do by saying we're all a family. a scourge on small business culture.

[failson]

Oh ewwwwww, those people are awful. There's nothing worse than being out $20 and also having to take home $20 of stuff I didn't ask for.

[rafflesian]

my teens and early 20s were my People Pleaser Era so i used to do detective work to figure out the perfect gift, only to receive an ugly ass kurt hummel scarf from ross because the only thing my secret santa knew about me is that i'm queer.

the best secret santa gift of all is letting me save my $20 and my free time.

ANYWAY potlucks are 💖✔✔🥰🥰 if i can bring something i got from the grocery store.

ok you need to stop hanging out with hr

[rafflesian]

no, i love those messy bitches

[coulee]

it's more a who than a where

[failson]

As in who's putting it on? Or as in who might think it's tacky?

[coulee]

ain't those the same thing

[failson]

Well, the "who's putting it on" would be me, and the "who might think it's tacky" is whoever I would un-invite from the party.

[crawlwaller]

Every party is a potluck if you bring a pot

[failson]

Very true!

[crawlwaller]

I thought for a minute you meant things that erase food like maybe a Tide stick or something but I figured it out do you get sent extra stuff a lot

[failson]

Oh, I would rather have been sent Tide sticks, but unfortunately I only have extra food-shaped erasers.

Not too often, but this supplier is a lot more careless than the others.

[bwnedpronouncedboned]

on behalf of the hungry trash cans of the world free food is a universal positive ty for feeding us in exchange for cookies i bought at the comm

[failson]

As a fellow hungry trash can, I thank you for your support.

[unperceive]

Maybe if we leave these around as bait they'll stop stealing our actual stuff.

[failson]

That's not a bad idea. Maybe I'll scatter a pack around to test this out.

heeey i don't think it was the storm that changed my powers. Like. Nothing happened to me til literally a month after the storm and then all that happened was i got glasses so i could see cells and some ppl were like "uuuh crysta dummy hair are cells have u ever considered that maybe that's like, part of it," and they were right lmao

I think technically I could've done this for a whiiiile. Is yours like that?

dm: whit/crysta

[failson]

Jack didn't think the storm caused it either, but he did say that I wasn't the only one, and that it was a weird coincidence and I should talk to you. That's super cool, though! I don't think it's dumb at all, how would you have known if you hadn't gotten glasses? Can you manipulate cells too, or can you just see them now?

Mine might be? I'm not sure. My powers are just "opossum physiology", but now I can like... alter how much? Like I got the pile of extra teeth thing a couple weeks ago, but now I can also dial that back?? Can't say I've ever tried to turn more or less opossum though, so who knows if I've had this all along?

dm: whit/crysta

[beautyfull]

enoch also
annie also[...] hmm

I know of a couple ppl whose powers changed like, right after the storm or like, they finally realised them because they were more pronounced. So there's some coincidence that way like, for sure. I wonder if it's not a coincidence. did u read my brother's thing about how the storm and the blip and Ernestine give off a secondary kind of rift radiation. We don't know much about it, but i wonder if it like, relates to power development in some way. But Ernestine still doesn't have powers yet so like. Very hmm. It's really cool u can control it though??? Is it just an opossum or have u tried like, other animals in case u can do those too?

dm: whit/crysta

[failson]

That's very weird. I did read his thing, but I confess that I don't fully understand it (I'm a college dropout, I don't know anything about physics)? I do wonder if the correlation between that and power development is more than a coincidence though, if there are a few of us? Maybe Ernestine could still develop some?

Unfortunately it's only an opossum so far, nothing cooler. But maybe if I practice more, I can keep all the shapeshifty stuff to a minimum eventually??

[norush]

do the erasers smell

[failson]

Unfortunately no. ☹️
