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!

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?

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?

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?

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??

lmao well i'm tech a high school dropout so iii am not much better n only started learning bc i'm reading enoch's insane rift radiation papers (DON'T). [...] Beta radiation (working title) in the form of the blip n storm to cause everyone's powers to go a lil crazy like, both those times. so i think it's worth it to think about.

I'm tryin to see if that radiation causes different kind of cell effects so i can see what's been irradiated easily by the new kind, so we can see if it slows down//speeds up liminal cell growth. it's a LOT of science lmao. And an opossum is so cool omg??? But yeah!! If u can practice that's awesome. Do u know what like, starts the shapeshifting? Like is it based on emotions or?

Well, you know more about it than I do! You're super smart. Thank you for the explanation, that does make sense. If you want to look at my weird opossum cells for your experiments or anything, please let me know if I can help you out in any way.

I'm not quite sure yet? I think it's emotions, at least a little bit, but also concentration helps?

dm: whit/crysta

[beautyfull]

I would like...love to look at the cells on yr opossum as opposed to human parts and see where they like. Go.

k bc just concentration is easier to like manage obviously? This is really cool.

dm: whit/crysta

[failson]

Sure thing! Just let me know when and where. Maybe you can give me some insight as to how it all works, because I really don't know.

Yeah, I think that if it's concentration, that's at least something I can practice and work on?? I could be mistaken, though. I'm not sure? I wish any of this came with an instruction manual.
