2.7/ text & video/ and so they sunk every ship we sailed
text; locked to clinic staff.
Locations.
Each island's going to need a clinic location on it. Pick a base. If necessary, talk to the guardspeople there and work something out.
Looking into moving supplies now. Teleporting volunteers welcome.
video; public.
( It's been a while, not only since Kate's addressed the city by video, but since the city's seen her in full, vibrant pink haired glory. God, she misses paying for hair dye with money like a normal person. God favours are a pain. But that did happen, and her hair returned to its customary hue sometime before everyone's limbs got chopped off or their senses disappeared.
(Hey, Fear - 🖕)
But she appears calm, collected, and just a smidgen over this city divided in four nonsense when she speaks. )
First things first - Clinic's on the island with the Colosseum. Supplies are alright. Gonna get transported to other islands soon as possible. Anyone who can heal or do first aid who isn't part of the clinic let us know your location if anyone needs help.
( But most importantly: ) Don't be stupid. Our assistance is limited for now.
( Kate out. )

Law mentioned in his own world he had a ship that could go under the waves. If not for... whatever might lurk in the waters here, I might suggest we look to that as an option but...
[ But monsters that might take an interest in a metal vessel in their domain ]
I could also try and sing the storms to peace, I suppose. [ he says doubtfully ] But this world doesn't know me. Such things would be very difficult.
video
Different. Interesting. )
How's that work?
( Call a power analyst curious. Hadriel always throws interesting things her way. )
video
We... my folk can hear the song of the world, and in the hearing, we can speak to it in turn. Sometimes, we can convince it to listen.
video
It's still strange to consider, though. )
...Huh. ( What an answer. ) Nothing like that back home.
( Maybe there is some form of song they don't know, but no one has ever heard it. )
video
But I do know that Men have always struggled to hear the Song - and I use the word for lack of a better one, you understand - as we do. It may be that every world has a Song, but not every world has folk who can hear it.
video
( She doesn't seem put out by the lacking explanation. It's hard to explain some things. )
Never know what people might perceive that you don't.
( Not as philosophical as it sounds, when you consider that it comes from someone who can easily see far more than her currently unremarkable brown eyes suggest. )
video
[ He nods ]
Even amongst my folk, we all have... different specialities? [ He hazards ] There are things that answer easily to my brother that won't for me.
video
Strengths and weaknesses. ( Like she was good at moving, or controlling her power. Marc was good at thinking, great at sudden bursts of power but took so much longer to learn the control she had figured out. )
video
Water for me, Fire and Metal for Curufin, Maedhros commands, Caranthir Weaves and Celegorm could speak the tongues of bird and beast. My youngest brothers were too young to know what they might have been, but they were hunters, and I suspect they spoke to Wood.
video
It fits, much like fire fits Faith, bright and passionate and all consuming.
Then he mentions the last part and her amusement fades, replaced by a tilt of the head, a curiosity lighting her eyes. )
You needed to be a certain age?
( Interesting. Nothing that she's heard before. Back home, you're born that way. It might take longer for certain powers to come out, for those who are Named to display each talent which earns them their title, but it's there from the start. )
video
For a formal apprenticeship, aye. We... left before they ever completed more than the bare bones of such things. Although the true workings of such things are beyond any of us save my Arafinwean cousins.
video
( Okay, that makes sense. In a different way to anything she's used to, but it makes sense. )
Lot different from our powers.
video
[ His own skills are instinctive and mostly self taught, for no apprenticeship in blessed Aman could have given him the skills he needed in war-torn Beleriand, where he learnt to use Song in ways that it was almost certainly never meant to be used ]
video
They're not a mystery. Might not know how to use them, but most people'll know. Comes from their parents. Doctors usually confirm it. Most people train 'em by themselves if they decide to use them.
( There are those who don't. Her own parents didn't really bother, beyond the occasional use of telepathy, or explaining her ability to sense powers. )
video
video
Powers're a biological thing. Gettin' 'em looked at is part of any check up. Make sure nothing's wrong with 'em.
video
video
'S my job, back home.
video
A healer of powers! How wonderful! Your world is fortunate indeed to have you.
video
Interesting job. Doubt I'd change it.
video
video
( It's impossible to expect otherwise in a world with people who have powers, isn't it? )
video
video
As a result? She's actually pretty clear when she speaks, straightening up, a gleam in her eyes. )
Superhumans have heightened physical abilities - we're stronger and faster than humans. Most of it's better, except if we're injured or sick. ( That? Is worse, and it's times like that when Kate envies humans. Their colds don't last as long. They don't need to wear a cast as long if they break a limb and can't get it healed. )
Got individual powers too. Could be affectin' powers, what I do, or somethin' like teleportation or healing. Can work different in everyone - know healers who transfer a person's injuries to themselves and ones who use their own spit to heal.
( And that's only a fraction of it all, really. )
Most important part is that they're part of our biology. Get affected by our health and condition like anything else. More physically fit you are, more you train 'em, better your powers work.
video
If they are a part of it, it makes sense. [ He agrees ] They must run in families too then, I assume? And based on the way you speak - I assume there are folk without powers, yes? You sound very like us, in some ways.
