[Wow, those dreams sure were trippy. Let's talk about that.]

True. But in the meantime...

They are killing themselves, slowly. Even if you do not take the risks of their line of work into account, when their powers finally run out.... they will be destroyed by the ability they once controlled.

[verypointed]

... are these abilities ingrained to them?

[fulltimeheroine]

They are part of their genetic makeup, and powered by one's life force.

[verypointed]

So what is your goal for them?

[fulltimeheroine]

To stop all of them from killing, of course.

Once I stop them from trying to kill me.

[verypointed]

... ah.

[fulltimeheroine]

What I can do makes me a liability, as well as an asset.

[verypointed]

And what is that?

[fulltimeheroine]

It might be easier to show you than explain.

You have a special ability, right?

[Is going to try negating it :D]

[verypointed]

As a NEXT, of course I do.

[fulltimeheroine]

I will need to see it, in order for the demonstration to work.

[Oh right. Info/stats here :X]

[verypointed]

... is that really necessary?

[fulltimeheroine]

[Suddenly serious.]

Yes.

[verypointed]

...

[okay, doing so]

[fulltimeheroine]

[moves in and grabs his hands.

What happen?]

[verypointed]

[I guess we are going from glowing to not... glowing. And he's staring at you.]

What are you doing?

[fulltimeheroine]

Stopping you from using your ability.

The same way I did to Hisoka-dono.

[verypointed]

[Give me a moment to think this through]

[fulltimeheroine]

[Sits back quietly until he can process it]

[verypointed]

This... is an intrinsic ability of yours?

[fulltimeheroine]

Yes. It has greater range if I concentrate, but it still requires touch, and I run the risk of losing power afterwards.

The backlash is a bother.

[verypointed]

Please explain... as much as you can, if possible.

What happened during the fight with Hisoka?

[fulltimeheroine]

Nothing unusual, really.

Hisoka-dono had concealed his presence and approached Yuri-dono, knowing full well that I was there and without giving me much time to react. They were talking... Hisoka-dono said something about things tasting "so good when [Yuri-dono's] lies are destroyed," and then they said things that were too soft for me to hear. Then Hisoka-dono asked Yuri-dono to punish him and also instructed me to come out.

I initiated the attack. Yuri-dono escaped, and Hisoka-dono and I engaged in hand-to-hand combat. I had asked Hisoka-dono how many people he had killed in camp, and he mentioned double digits. Then he... stopped talking. After exchanging more blows, I tried to run to the hospital, and ended up in this state.

[verypointed]

Even with his powers nullified?

[fulltimeheroine]

Mm. He is exceptionally skilled.
