Scared? Words on a page are nothing to be scared about, only the ideas that they might worm into your head with enough passage of time. Besides, your memorizations were probably far more daunting than a line or two of poetry.
Me trying to tell others here to reflect more is the same as shouting into the void. Have you seen some of the arguments across the network?
Oh no, compared to facing ideas that might 'worm into my head with enough passage of time', I'd rather do Calculus out loud. Or I guess I used to prefer that. It doesn't seem as bad now.
Yes, I've seen them, and I can't say you're entirely wrong... but I want to think we're all here to do something. That this isn't as random as some people might think. If you had time to do something profound, anything-- what would it be?
Yes. Something that you feel only you could do for a place like this, or something you could learn.
We all seem to be different in one way or another, and I'm hypothesizing that how we were selected isn't random. So maybe the answer lies in what we believe we can offer.
[There's a lengthy pause, as if he doesn't intend to send more than that. But another message flashes into existence.]
If you're hypothesizing how we might be "special", then I can answer that more easily. There's no point in keeping it from the rest of the Displaced, when the meaning of "normal" is so superfluous between us.
I used to possess demonic power. I no longer do, but the knowledge and memories still exist.
I understand, I feel the same. I'm still trying to figure it out myself to be honest.
[He sends that in the lengthy pause, and is a little surprised when the rest comes. Maybe it should give him some pause, 'demonic' isn't a very nice word after all, but V is possibly a little late to the occult-related revelations train given Billy told Abel he was a witch within five minutes of meeting him. Sure okay.]
That would definitely make you special! Strange though, that they took it away and gave you-- I'm assuming-- something else? Do you know what ability they gave you on your arrival here?

I've only seen it happen when I try to access my previous abilities. But nothing in tandem with a new one, not yet. Do you know your own?
