I didn't think it was possible to top the craziest thing I've ever seen, but here we are.

Hi. I'm Lauren Strucker. I'm new. It's been suggested that no one I know from home is here, so I guess that means I'm alone.

Currently taking suggestions on where I can get a decent meal.

	Thankfully I don't think I'm related to any god. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To be really honest, gods suck as parents. But they do give certain gifts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fenrisshield 2022-06-12 11:26 am UTC (link)
	What kind of gifts? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In my personal case, Aphrodite gave me the power to control my appearance and always look beautiful. I have the ability to influence the affections of others, and I can...well it's called charmspeak. I can convince people to do things. Kinda useful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Like a telepath? Force them to do things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovinglydrew 2022-06-12 02:28 pm UTC (link)
	Force is such a strong word. It's like, really really convincing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What if someone would normally be against what you want them to do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovinglydrew 2022-06-12 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	I mean normally you only do it when it's really important, like a monster is about to kill you or the new Prada bag list is full. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fenrisshield 2022-06-12 05:07 pm UTC (link)
	That hasn't been my experience with people who have a similar power. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovinglydrew 2022-06-12 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	You know other people who can charmspeak?? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fenrisshield 2022-06-12 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	No, I know telepaths. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. I can't read minds or anything. Just say things so convincingly they do what I want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fenrisshield 2022-06-12 05:22 pm UTC (link)
	It goes beyond reading minds. They can force people to do what they want them to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovinglydrew 2022-06-12 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	I try and not be too...force-y. Halfbloods are usually chased by monsters. Lots of people want us dead. So it helps to keep us alive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fenrisshield 2022-06-12 05:28 pm UTC (link)
	If only that was the thought process in my world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovinglydrew 2022-06-12 05:30 pm UTC (link)
	What is the thought process in yours? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fenrisshield 2022-06-12 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	Use it for whatever you want. The people I know have killed countless people through forcing others to do it for them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovinglydrew 2022-06-12 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	Oh! Well, I'd never do that and it's not strong enough to either. Most I can do is convince someone to let me go if they have me captured or do something convenient for me. Not much more than asking with extra emphasis. No killing involved, I promise! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~people can do all kinds of th~~ I'm not sure I understand why you can do one and not the other, but that's good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because it's just a power of suggestion and mine isn't particularly strong. My half sister is much stronger with it. It's more protection than something use offensively. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fenrisshield 2022-06-12 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	That's good to know. Could be really handy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovinglydrew 2022-06-13 12:08 am UTC (link)
	Sorry, I hope I didn't make it seem like I was..a bad guy. I'm not perfect but I don't kill anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fenrisshield 2022-06-13 12:09 am UTC (link)
	It's not your fault, it's a gut reation at this point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovinglydrew 2022-06-13 12:16 am UTC (link)
	I can understand that, unfortunately. Used to monsters chasing me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fenrisshield 2022-06-13 12:17 am UTC (link)
	Same, but they're more human shaped. (Reply to this) (Parent)
