Day 3. So who's growing in their special witch powers?
What about getting themselves bit by stuff, anybody trying that out yet??

[He types, flippantly. He's still... kinda treating everything going on here as a game. Not a joke, at least not anymore, but as a game he's a-rollin' with. Easier to throw up your hands and say "a'ight, a'ight, I'll roll with all of this for now! Looks like it's more good for me than not!" than it is to... think of yourself as "part of" it, what with all that talk back with Miss Nessie 'bout how every human being here has friggin' tapped-or-untapped magical powers.

And seemed to kinda assume that extended to all the folks here. Well, ha-ha, he sure don't like he's got any magical powers!]

Oh I didn't say that!
Not that I'd complain about it if it works and the side effects aren't too crap I don't think, is all I'm saying!
Better than getting totally left off of the magical superpowers train that the witches seem to think every random fucker's supposed to get on.
What about you stranger, you turn anybody into a frog or a crow or something yet??

[bloodyuseless]

[Oh, too bad. Biting is just about all Mary is good for right now. He sighs at his weird phone watch.]

ihaven't tried yet! i don't feel magicall or monstery at all. i thik i was more of a monster before i got heere.

[1019]

[The existential crises of landing in people-modifying new dimensions, alas, it seems.]

Like how?

[LET'S JUST... GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY, FIRST...!]

[bloodyuseless]

i'm a vampire! but i cn eat normal food now, so i dont really understnd what's going on.

[usurpers]

What
?

[1019]

What did it look like I was typing, Greek??
Is anybody getting magic powers here or not??

[You're... being the weirdest kind of fucking humbug right now.]

[usurpers]

Is getting bit by things in the package?

[1019]

Have you ever read a book before?

[Have you, Luke?]

That's how you get turned into a werewolf or a vampire.
I'm pretty sure zombies too for most people but the witch lady said that they don't have those ones here!

[He hasn't... been at ground zero for that kinda zombie before!]

[usurpers]

Not that kind of book
go read some yourself

[ you assholes from the future are getting on his nerves dogg ]

You could’ve just asked “is anyone turning into monsters”

Is being bitten really a good idea?

text;

[1019]

Uhh if you don't die or get an infection or something then I'm not seeing how it's a BAD one! No pain no gain and all that stuff and getting to turn into a fucking giant wolf or bat or something sounds to me like a pretty big damn gain!
Guess it all depends on your style.

[That's... one way to put it...?]

text;

[upinthesky]

Wait, you're trying to turn into a monster?
That sounds dangerous. It could turn you into something worse than a wolf. We don't know how the magic here works yet.

text;

[1019]

Hey define "worse!!!"
I already pretty much count as a zombie basically, I'm not afraid of turning into like a lizardman or something on top of that if I could!!

[He's exaggerating.]

Hell, that'd be the coolest fucking shit, god.
And I mean I didn't say I'm """trying""" to do anything! Think about it more as me taking down the options.
:)

[Y -- you have said... nothing worth being smug about, here.]

text;

[upinthesky]

I'm... not sure it works that way.

[Not to say that Clark is an expert in any of this, but he's pretty sure becoming a monster isn't like collecting. At least that seems to be the case.]

When I was looking around, I didn't see anyone that looked like they were turning into a hybrid. And don't some of those, uh, abilities cancel each other out?

Did you say you were a zombie?

[subruo]

Magical powers don't sprout up overnight! And being bit hardly will make that happen faster - that's just asking for disease!

text;

[1019]

Uhh does turning into a werewolf or a vampire or something count as a disease?? Because I'm totally ok with asking for that!!
Take it from me besides, end up sick with the right thing and it can turn out to have an upside or two anyway.

[I... that sounds...

...Shady? Stupid? ...Kinda both, without context???]

text;

[subruo]

[WHAT IS HE READING]

First of all, turning into a werewolf from a bite isn't true. That can't happen. And vampires are a myth!

Honestly, I don't see what upsides could compete with things like, you know, death?

text;

[1019]

Uhh the first guy I talked to says different!
So did the witch lady by the way. :) According to her there're vampires running around all over the place in this city.

[She didn't... exactly say that, but... anyway. Vampires!]

What do you think that THEY would say if you came up acting like being a stiff's the worst thing in the world???!

[You say like you've ever even met one.

...You know, apart from that fella who responded first, if we're counting telecommunication as "meeting".]

text;

[subruo]

I'll believe it when I see it. Vampires are creatures that parents tell their children about to make them behave, that's all.

I'm not a stiff, I'm just cautious! You can't mess with things like this. I mean, unless you WANT to die, then that's another thing entirely.

text;

[lonewanderer]

why would I go get myself bit by something?

text;

[1019]

For the perks. Why else??
Unless you like pain I guess because then it's its own perk!

[You have half-answered the question, Luke.]

text;

[lonewanderer]

I've gotten chewed on by a lot of things. it doesn't tend to give me much beyond a new scar.

text;

[1019]

No radioactive bugs or anything where you come from??
No zombies? I hear even that one doesn't have to be too bad.

text;

[lonewanderer]

lots of radioactive bugs. lots of radioactive everything. but bites don't transmit anything other than saliva and sometimes venom.
