General Notice:

I'm looking for people with powers to run some tests on. It involves being observed using your abilities, but that's it. Can't exactly give you much for it, unless you need an alarm system.

First wave of testing will take place in a week near the colosseum. There may be second or third waves in future. Testing is expected to take several hours overall.

Any questions?

What do you need this for? What goal drives such research? [There's no way Glacius is letting himself be a test subject, he just wants to get a better sense of exactly how wary he should be over this proposition.]

I think I figured out why one of my powers hasn't been working right. Just want to confirm it and get it to work.

It's passive. No harm done.

Is this power innate, natural, or was it something that was granted to you by outside forces? If the latter, it is possible that being displaced from your world severed your connection to the source... or that the gods are interfering, for some unknown reason.

( he doesn't have any powers, but this sort of thing does kind of concern him.

in the sense of people being used for test subjects, for whatever good it might end up doing. )

In my experience, even suggesting monitoring someone's powers might be enough to scare them off the idea of helping.

( helpful, isn't he? )

You might have a point. [ although it's one she's not very acquainted with, a moment of thought is enough for Kate to see the sense in that. ] But I don't think people want me doing this without their knowledge or consent.

[ because people don't usually take kindly to stalking, she's learned. ]

Don't get me wrong. ( because at least she's asking for volunteers instead of luring people away under false pretenses, and that's admirable. or something. ) You're going about it the right way, if ... there is such a thing for asking for volunteers for experimentation.

( welp. )

Why are you doing it, though?

[mismanagement]

Would you be willing to share your results when the tests are complete?

[text]

[dedikated]

Not sure they'll be much use to anyone else but if people are alright with it, I don't see why not.

[text]

[mismanagement]

Any information is better than none.

Excellent. Can I get your name?

[His response is mostly just of his goofy grin, so she recognises him in future.]

I am-- Koda!

Alarm system?

text;

[dedikated]

Yeah. Let's just say it's one of the uses of my own abilities.

text;

[wormintheglass]

and how does that work, exactly?

[fictionalised]

Oooh t his dsoesn't sound sinister atall!

text

[dedikated]

It shouldn't. Not like I'm about to gather everyone up and off you all.

[ ... that probably wasn't the best reassurance. ]

-- All it is, is something to confirm a theory.

[fictionalised]

THat's what someonew ho was about to gather everyone up aand off us all would say .

Is yopur theory that mages bleed when theyre stabbed because I can answer that for you

Abilities?

text;

[dedikated]

Yeah, stuff like - I dunno - fire conjuring or mind control. Anything that a normal human couldn't do.

[amos_moses]

[That's totally not ominous or anything...]

What are you testing for?

And can you tell when people are using their powers?

Text

[dedikated]

[ You're right, it's not! ]

I want to see if I can make my ability work again. Think it's stopped - well, doesn't work - because this place doesn't work the same as my world does.

I can, once I get my power working again.
