What if your ability is basically being awesome at building things and fixing things? Also just so everyone knows, I'm probably going to get in a lot of trouble because sometimes my fingers like to smoke or randomly be on fire in emotional situations, so...I don't know what to tell anyone. I don't have control over that. Yet?

Also I'm still building Festus. So there.

Lightbulbs exploding is definitely unusual. I can build pretty much anything and diagnose a problem with a car just by touching it. Actually, I could do that with anything mechanical. I can also figure out how it works and mess with it so it works a different way or tell if there's a fault in the metal. I can sense mechanical traps. I can also drive anything. Quality of driving is questionable, but I know how to operate it. But then I'm also one of the only known Hephaestus children actually alive that can control fire. This comes with fire immunity and the ability to sense heat, so it's like thermal vision. Which is neat except when it's not. My crazy nanny (who was actually Hera the whole time) put me in a fire once when I was little. Cause that's what you do with kids, I guess. Apparently trying to get a kid to poke a rattlesnake is also something you do when you're a crazy goddess.

I've got... the electricity stuff, I can use any Japanese weapon, I've got really good reflexes, I can heal faster, I'm starting to be able to make illusions but they're really bad so I'm not really bothering with them until I'm stronger. Most of the stuff books and internet says kitsune can do I'm pretty sure I need to be older for.

Maybe it's just something about being super old. My mom's like nine hundred or something and most of the time she just pretends we're completely normal, and any time she does actually talk about it she's mostly making me get in crazy life or death fights or tests where even if you win the wrong way you still lose and will probably go crazy and die anyway. I really don't get her sometimes.

That's pretty cool. You could probably practice them if you wanted.

I want to say that we don't put ourselves into crazy situations, but we do it all the time. Quests are like impromptu life or death tests. Actually not that impromptu. Like we knew we could die going into it. One of us did, but they were the coolest (some might say the bomb dot com) and came back to life afterwards. So cool. But yeah. Apparently that's a normal thing.
