oh, yeah, don't worry. i know you're old. i know andy's basically infinity, but even 200 is a long ass time. [ especially to someone who is merely in her 20s! ]
depends on the ability. some of the things people seem to have here are almost crazier than immortality.

but i haven't experienced the ones everyone keeps talking about here yet. why?
no subject
I ask because I haven't dreamed of drowning since we got here
Have you?
no subject
think we're cut off from that too? it's not like we've met her here as far as i can tell, even in passing.
no subject
I have dreamt of her for over a hundred years and the others know her like a sister
I think perhaps it is another side effect of our immortality here
no subject
i don't know how you've done over a century of seeing that. it was already a lot after a few days.
no subject
[ Which isn't a bad thing, all things considered. ]
I have tried many things to make the dreams seem ... less
But I would not recommend any of them to you
no subject
look at it like one of the few perks of being here. a break. despite all the other not so great parts.
no subject
But you're right, it's not a bad thing, just something to think about
Something also connected to the issue of our immortality and whatever they did to us when we got here
no subject
they took away the dreams and the healing and gave us something else instead. can't figure out why, since we already had a power in a sense.
i'll let you know if the dreams pick up again though
no subject
Abilities we all have are likely easier to control than the powers of a few unique individuals
All of this is speculation of course
[ — oh and — ]
I'm still old you know
That the others are older doesn't change that
[ Why is he so adamant about this? Who knows, don't question it. ]
Thank you Nile

no subject
Long ass time
[ Yep. Words he never thought he'd ever write, but there you go. ]
What have you heard or seen so far?
no subject
there's a whole ass vocabulary out there for you with expletives. you guys like learning languages
haven't actually seen much, but people were talking about things like controlling elements.
no subject
[ Not sure if he's into that tbh. ]
Hmm
Like those comic book heroes?
Imagine us manipulating the wind or water
[ Will he need a cape? ]
no subject
[ her favorite swear is still probably shit, though. ]
with our powers combined, we'll be captain planet? seems like this earth needs some real environmental retooling
no subject
Is captain planet really a superhero?
[ Hm seems kinda lame ]
I don't disagree though
no subject
he tried to warn us all about climate change and we didn't listen. look at this shit version of earth. there will be NO captain planet slander
no subject
[ Not out loud anyway. ]
If this is what earth really will become ... it's a bit difficult to have hope
no subject
it might not be our earth. seems like lots of displaced come from all kinda versions.
no subject
Maybe not so much the strange modifications market
That seems a bit out there
no subject
it's like cyberpunk tattoos and piercings. honestly that part doesn't surprise me that much
no subject
But you and I could go to the market right now and get wings and a tail if we wanted to
[ C'est fou! ]
no subject
no subject
I'm just saying tattoos and piercings are far more believable than some of the things I've seen in that market
