For those of you who have [ pause, a low hum, ] superpowers. Has this place ever taken them from you?

​​[ A beat. ]

If you wish to speak in person, I will be in the park. In the red jacket.

​​[ She has ways of being completely private, but that's a little invasive and not something to advertise. Anyone heading to the park to speak to her or in the vicinity will see a young woman on a bench, with a thermos full of tea next to her, steam rising off the cup clasped in her hands. ]

Quite so! I was lucky to be young and healthy when I became immortal, so everything is fine, really. [His smile somehow gets even brighter, and he shoots Wanda a thumb's up.]

[ The cheerfulness is not infectious. ]

If something does happen, you'll tell me?

[keep_smiling]

Sure. Am I expecting to, though? Has something happened to other folks? [Elmer is struck by an exciting thought.] Are there a lot of people with superpowers here?

[scarletcast]

Nothing has happened.

[ Yet. ]

I do not know the exact number. I would assume there are a few.

That's good news. Maybe someone's amazing power will be the key to us eventually getting out of here, yeah? Someone who can blast a hole to freedom or something.

[C'mon Wanda, look on the bright side!]

[ Dryly, ]

It is likely the Door removes that power.

[ Sorry Elmer, you chose the one person with zero chill. ]

I guess that would make sense. Make things too easy. We'll have to be more clever, I suppose. But, if there's a way in, there's a way out. The gods keep us here to feed off of feelings, yeah? I guess if we all somehow make for bad meals, they'd have no choice but to send us home.

[Turn off your feelings. It's that simple.]

If you can find someone with that power, it would be worth a try.

[ as a blatant fuck you if nothing else. ]
