Day 324 - Power Play mingle
[There's no fanfare today. The museum has something about the benefits of sheep's wool. There are no decorations up. The clothing shops have the same sort of stock they had yesterday. And there are no specialized dishes at the restaurants, but you can probably find a power bar at the convenience store, but there's nothing new there.

What is new is whatever power you woke up with or without today. What you do with that is up to you and whomever you encounter.]

	I thought he had always treated me with respect, and I wanted to do the same for him. And maybe if people had more positive experiences with others they wouldn't want to hurt them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's not how it works. It'd be great if it was, but people... a lot of people're awful, and you can't change that by being nice to them. [He's worried for Euphie. Really, really worried. So worried that he's almost angry, and being almost angry is making the temperature shoot up a few degrees.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-05-29 03:02 am UTC (link)
	But sometimes you might. Isn't that hope more important? [Is it getting warm?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-05-30 04:43 am UTC (link)
	No. [That is the most emphatic word Nathan has said in weeks.] Being okay is more important than hope. What good'll hope do you if you get killed or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-05-30 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	[She hears the italicizing! But she is undaunted.] What good can I do if I spend all my time only watching out for myself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-05-30 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	[This is extra annoying because he doesn't have a good argument against that, he just knows she can't be right.] Whatever, just... try to be careful. Don't be dumb about being nice to people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-05-30 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	Are you thinking I shouldn't be nice to you, Nathan? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-05-30 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I am, but I don't want you to stop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-05-31 01:21 am UTC (link)
	I wasn't planning to stop. I guess it's a good thing I'm stubborn. [Are you worn down and ready to agree with her yet?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-06-06 04:23 am UTC (link)
	[Disagreeing with Euphie is actually the hardest thing to do ever, and the temperature drops a few degrees as Nathan's worry cools into (begrudging) acceptance.] You being stubborn is kind of annoying. [He doesn't sound annoyed.] I keep thinking I should stay away from you, but I know that'll never work unless you want me to stay away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-06-08 04:26 am UTC (link)
	I don't want that. [Sometimes honesty is easy to take and sometimes it's harder.] I do want to feel safer around you though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-06-08 04:52 am UTC (link)
	Does the collar help? [Would him holding her hand help? He isn't doing it, but he's thinking about it really, really hard.] Is there anything else that'd help? I'd try anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-06-09 02:09 am UTC (link)
	Knowing you wanted the collar helps. Sometimes when I'm with you, I want to be close to you. But it seems to make things harder for you. I don't mean to do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-06-12 04:56 am UTC (link)
	It's not your fault... you're not doing anything, and sometimes I can be close to you and it's fine. I don't know what the difference is between times when it's okay and times when it's not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-06-12 02:07 pm UTC (link)
	Do you think there's a way to find out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-06-13 03:44 am UTC (link)
	I guess I could hang out with you and just... pay attention to the way things feel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-06-13 04:03 am UTC (link)
	That sounds like a good start. Do you think it would be helpful to try different things when we hang out? [The term sounds a little funny on her lips.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-06-14 04:02 am UTC (link)
	Like what kinds of things? [He reaches out for her hand.] Things like this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-06-14 04:26 am UTC (link)
	Yes. It's a good start at least. [She squeezes his hand.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-06-16 03:01 am UTC (link)
	That feels okay. [No homicidal impulses!] I'm really sorry I haven't been talking to you. I want to, I promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-06-16 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	It's only because you're worried about me, right? It's sweet. Sad, but sweet. [She tilts her head a little.] You you like to see something very odd? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-06-17 02:18 am UTC (link)
	I'm worried about me hurting you. That's not sweet. [Euphie tilting her head and implying that he would find anything about her odd, however, is extremely sweet.] What? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2015-06-17 02:32 am UTC (link)
	It's a little sweet. [She takes a deep breath and does something that might surprise him. She braids her hair. Without the use of her hands. The hair just starts sweeping in and out until it reaches the end of a long braid hanging down her back. And then she swishes it back and forth without moving anything else.] It started this morning.

[He's really not up for arguing again, so sure, it can be a little sweet.

That thing with the hair, though? That's some crazy stuff. Way crazier than unimpressive emotion-related temperature control powers. Hair should not be able to do that.]

Really? You just... woke up with it doing that? [He touches the braid gingerly, as if he expects it to become fully sentient and bite him. Stranger things have happened.] That's cool.

	[The braid nuzzles against his hand in as much as a braid can nuzzle.] I didn't notice right away, but when it started reaching for stuff for me it was hard to miss. I suppose it will stop tomorrow again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
