Alright, I've seen a few people talking about losing an emotion and it happening because of some appendage attaching itself to their forehead. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Cause it isn't exactly something I've heard about until now.

Whose been impacted by this or know someone who was attacked by it? Gives us a better idea of how many have been hit.

EDIT: Also, I've heard about an issue with powers going on. If you've been impacted, then let us know what the ability it is you ended up with, whether you want anything, or anything else that might be going on in your head right now? I know it's scary, especially if you're not used to powers, but someone will be happy to help you if you ask.

I saw Linda talking about a power issue and we also have this appendage thing taking away emotions going on at the same time. I don't have any new powers unless they are not that easy to get to work, but maybe we should split things up with the two issues? Make sure we have people around to help with either one of those issues popping up.

	Someone mentioned powers... ~~But mine still suck right now.~~ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I saw that, and I guess Tara wanted to toss two different things at us. I'll edit this right now to get an idea on people with the power issue, easier to keep track of for everyone. Are you okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't have my abilities anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How are you doing without them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not my first time without them, but it never gets easier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Considering the abilities tend to be something you're born with or have for most of your life, it probably won't ever get easier. It's apart of you, but it won't be your last time losing them because TARA likes to mess with abilities. Are you able to protect yourself without your abilities? Or do you need anything to help with not having your abilities? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have combat training thanks to my sister. Unfortunately, I don't plan on keeping myself out of trouble. There is too much going on here that requires Supergirl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

At least, you do have a way to protect yourself without your abilities. Some don't, which is why I wanted to ask.

I think you should watch it with the trouble, but I'm not saying don't help if you can. I don't want to see anyone killed or locked up by the people of this time. Be careful on how you handle things cause this point in history is a mess from what I've been hearing. I would be helping more, but right now trying to keep track of all the issues with our people is keeping me busy.

	All I'm saying is be careful and try not to end up accused, but I understand wanting to help with this whole situation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you, and if you get into any trouble you can contact me or anyone else around here for help. We're all stuck in this together, we need to watch out for one another. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	sciencebiatch 2016-10-13 03:52 pm UTC (link)
	That depends. Has it been disguising itself as other objects? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	clgriffin 2016-10-13 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. One of the ones that I've seen talking about it said it did, but no idea with the other ones. Do you know what this creature is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sciencebiatch 2016-10-19 04:58 am UTC (link)
	Maybe. Why the hell something from smegging Red Dwarf is here, is beyond me. But, it's probably a bloody Polymorph. They change shape and feed on emotions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	clgriffin 2016-10-19 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know what this Red Dwarf is, but seems you have a better idea on this thing. How do we get their emotions back? Also, what type of effects does this thing have on the people it went after? Is there a way to lure it out in the open like you do with animals when hunting them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sciencemonkey 2016-10-19 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	TV Show. Absolutely brilliant and bloody ridiculous. Mostly just removing parts of their personality. So, it depends on what they lose. Usually, find it. Kill it, and need to extract it's DNA to make a cure. Dunno about luring it. On the show it was usually trapped on a space ship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	clgriffin 2016-10-19 05:58 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, didn't really have those back in my time, which probably explains a bit on why I have no idea what you were talking about. Okay, so the ones attacked may not have any long term damage or anything happening to them right now? Is there a certain personality type that it likes to go for? Or how did the ones on this show capture it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They should be fine. Depending on how it's affected them.

Like, the first time, Lister lost his fear. So, was being stupidly fearless and almost got himself killed. So, we should keep an eye on them.

Nope. Probably depends on what that particular Polymorph likes to feed on. Some like negative emotions. Some like positive. They usually take whatever's strongest in the victim, though.

Umm, well the cat could smell it. Which helped, until he couldn't. But, it was hunting them in an enclosed space. So, they kinda just had to hunt it out, and shoot it when it popped up.

That's good to hear, especially for the bad idea I might have to get the attention of this Polymorph or at least toss this idea out.

I'll be sure to check on the ones that I know are impacted by this right now, make sure none of them are doing anything stupid.

Can this thing attack the same person more than once? And it's the emotions that attract it, which depending on the emotions it likes, makes it more attracted to that, right?

Then that means a wolf could probably smell it and locate the area it's in? Since we don't know if it's even in this building anymore or running around Salem.

	sciencemonkey 2016-10-20 11:02 am UTC (link)
	Yup. I'd have thought a wolf could smell it. But, they'd have to know what it smelled like first. But, you know them better than me, I'll leave that to you. And, yeah. It can attack the same person more than once. I just think it's less likely to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Which could be tricky since the item turns back into them; however, maybe the last person that was attacked, we can get the smell from the room or the spot. I'll reach out to the one that I know and see what he can do after I flesh this idea out a bit more.

Okay, well at least it's less likely to attack them again, making that a little less of a worry.

Since you know this thing better than anyone or at least the only one sharing, I want to see if this idea would work. Have two people with two different strong emotions standing in the area that we can track the smell to, and them being used as bait. I'll offer myself up as one for bait, not fair for me to ask anyone to do it if I won't use myself. Focus on getting one strong emotion going, and have a few people around ready to capture it when it attacks? Since not sure if I can stab the thing if it decides to attack me.

Do you know how long it takes from the minute it shows itself to be finished with taking the emotion?

	sciencemonkey 2016-10-20 03:45 pm UTC (link)
	That'd probably work. About 30 seconds to a minute if I remember. Not very long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alright, after I talk to one of the ones with the wolf ability, I'll see if anyone with a positive emotion wants to play the other role of bait. With one positive stronger emotion, and mine being the negative, then maybe one of us can get it out and capture this thing. Once we capture it, you'll do your thing and get everyone their emotions back.

Do you know anyone quick on their feet whether it's with taking the shot and not harming anyone or capturing something? I want to make sure we have a few people capable of capturing this thing, especially if I'm unable to stab the thing if it chooses me to try and take my emotion.

	I know some people. Ward is the best shot I know. And, quick on his feet. And, I can probably ask the jedi too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	clgriffin 2016-10-21 05:50 pm UTC (link)
	I know Ward was impacted by this thing, reach out to him and see if he'll be up for taking the shot or reacting quickly. Since I don't want to risk it getting away or having another person whether it's me or someone else have an emotion taken away. You reach out to Ward and the jedi, I'll reach out to one of the wolves and see if any of them are free to help with this. (Reply to this) (Parent)
