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.]

[1019]

[WELL.

LITERALLY A VAMPIRE - THERE'S A MOMENT OF "WELL, I'LL BE DARNED" IN THERE, but... pffhuh, fades kinda quickly in favor of a flare...! Ain't nothing should be too surprising to hear or see here, at this point...]

So if anything your magical powers got taken away??

[Those silly, silly witches!]

[bloodyuseless]

yea exactly!1 i get tired faster too and it's hrder to smell lbood. it's strange, rright?

[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!]

[upinthesky]

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.

[1019]

Haha HELL YEAH, it does!!!
Sounds to me like somebody ought to find that witch lady again and take her to task because what kind of horse shit is this???
They already have fucking vampires here but she thinks everybody's gonna just fucking grow magical powers outta nowhere but fucking vampires can't just stay fucking vampires?????

[#fuckingvampires]

Is this like some kinda scam to get everybody into wizard school???

[Cool. Your. Jets.]

Mass cures for everyone who's already got their OWN damn superpowers???

[And. Uh. ...Riiiiight after he types that, there's a little... cold pulse in his chest...!

Wait -- ...

Ohhhh, no. Ohhhhhh, no, they didn't -- DON'T TELL HIM...!]

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.]

[subruo]

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

[bloodyuseless]

i wouldn't mind not beinga vvampire.

[He never wanted to be one in the first place. Going to wizard school sounds much cooler! And probably involves less grotesque stain removal. Then again, without the power that being a vampire gives him, he wouldn't be able to help Maria. Or anyone here, for that matter.]

but it would have been better if somoene asked first!

[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”

text;

[lonewanderer]

why would I go get myself bit by something?

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?

text;

[1019]

There's fucking magic here, who's anybody to say there's no how something works here??

[Come ooooon, how far-fetched is it that, like... one could put on a new friggin' monster type like layering goddamn winter clothes.

In-deed, when you got no clue what the heck's going on, here, anyway.]

I don't know about that, I'm pretty sure over at the monster bonfire I saw some kind of yeti with hands like a fucking scorpion.

[...Like -- their hands were scorpions? Or... their hands... were like a scorpion's, which are not... hands...]

Does that sound not like a hybrid to you??
Haha, did I stutter??
My world's FULL of fucking zombies!! All kinds of 'em!!
And a weird infection wound up sneaking into my mom and dad's house like three years ago so yep! I got me some cool zombie powers!!!

[I -- hm.]

text;

[upinthesky]

[Granted, he does have a point about the magic. They don't know it won't combine that way, but Clark really doesn't want anyone to get hurt testing out this potentially dangerous theory. What if one creature's biology rejects another's? No one should be encouraging the public at large to try it just to find out.

But somehow he thinks pointing that out will fall on deaf ears.]

No, I read it, I'm just trying to understand it. Aren't zombies usually dead? I didn't know they could communicate so... eloquently, that's all.

And we should probably just see how things develop for now. We might have latent powers that haven't shown themselves yet. It'd be wasteful to go around getting bitten if we don't have to.

[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;

[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???]
