[23:05] rin> my aim-nick
[23:05] * scix barfs
[23:05] TheBlackCupid> I knew you'd like it, Scix!
[23:05] scix> rin: I know
[23:06] * ChalyGryffon ews at scix's mess
[23:06] scix> sorry, chaly
[23:06] * scix magically transforms his mess into rose petals
[23:06] ChalyGryffon> ...pretty!
[23:06] scix> thats my PD
[23:07] scix> I turn bio-wastes into flowers
[23:07] Aeire> *giggle* That's handy.
[23:07] * H3xas cackles
[23:07] ChalyGryffon> neat, in an odd sort of way
[23:07] Aeire> Roses are nice.
[23:07] FreakyFerret> i want a PD. *pouts like a small child*
[23:07] scix> military tried to use me as bio-warfare control, but it didn't work.
[23:07] H3xas> So instead of taking a shower, just voila, wipe the flowers off
[23:07] scix> The geral was allergic to flowers
[23:08] scix> FF: A PD generator is on the "to do" list
[23:08] Talbon> Ferret: You're PD is to turn anything into porn.
[23:08] scix> geral=general
[23:08] FreakyFerret> talbon: yay!!!!!!
[23:08] FreakyFerret> Scix; cookios.
[23:08] TheBlackCupid> If you get reversoed, you can turn flowers into toxic waste!
[23:08] FreakyFerret> coolios to
Talbon> Ferret: But you don't have any control and it's random.
[23:08] TheBlackCupid> Eek!
[23:08] FreakyFerret> you know what
[23:08] * ChalyGryffon wonders what hers would be... ::shrug::
[23:08] H3xas> What's mine? :o)
[23:08] ChalyGryffon> TBC: lol
[23:08] scix> TBC: yup!
[23:08] * FreakyFerret falls on the floor, lays on his back, stares at the ceiling
[23:08] Aeire> Cookies...
[23:08] FreakyFerret> i'm just going to lay here a bit.
[23:08] scix> Reverso and I dated, but Valentine's day was yucky.
[23:09] Aeire> What's MINE, then?
[23:09] TheBlackCupid> You should create a random generator that assigns people PD powers.
[23:09] scix> TBC: s'what I said
[23:09] Aeire> heeey...that would be NEAT...
[23:09] Talbon> Chaly: The power of shaking parts of your body, uncontrolable.
[23:09] scix> not COMPLETELY random, though
[23:10] scix> there'd be a semi-bogus questionaire
[23:10] ChalyGryffon> Talbon: :p
[23:10] Talbon> H3xas: The power of always finding a place to hide.
[23:10] * H3xas sighs
<H3xas> heheh how apt. ;o)
[23:10] * H3xas hides well in real life, too.
[23:10] H3xas> Ironic, considering my height.
[23:10] scix> Tal: that's not a PD -- what's the dyslexic part?
[23:10] Talbon> Aeire: The power of drawing great pieces of art, but the dyslexia is you can never see them for it!
[23:10] TheBlackCupid> What's mine?
[23:10] Aeire> Oh ha HA, tal. *pbbt*
[23:10] FreakyFerret> talbon: that's just cruel. :D
[23:10] Talbon> Scix: The hiding places are always painfully obvious.
[23:11] FreakyFerret> and _true_
[23:11] scix> ah
[23:11] scix> good one
[23:11] H3xas> I once hid in a corner during a game of hide and seek and wasn't found. :oP
[23:11] scix> we need to keep a notebook and collect PDs for when we're ready to make the generator
[23:11] Talbon> TBC: The power to turn on anyone, the dyslexia is they always think you bat for the other team.
[23:11] TheBlackCupid> BWA-HA-HA.
[23:11] H3xas> lol!!! Cruel!
[23:11] FreakyFerret> Talbon: :o
[23:11] FreakyFerret> dude!!!!
[23:11] Aeire> *giggle*
[23:11] ChalyGryffon> Bad guy: I have you now! Tiffany: Ha! I shake my pinky finger at you... *her left knee shakes* ...No, damn you! I said my pinky finger! *left ankle shakes* ..Oh, hell. Forget it.
[23:11] FreakyFerret> DUDE!!
[23:12] FreakyFerret> Chaly: mwehehehe
[23:12] Talbon> *grins* Did I ever mention I was an absolutely evil ST for WoD games?
[23:12] TheBlackCupid> Dude, I could make straight vullains cry.
[23:12] FreakyFerret> TBC: you could. you could!!
[23:12] scix> *Cleanup on Aisle four! Scix and florist report to Aisle four*
[23:12] * FreakyFerret turns the chat between Talbon and TBC into porn.
[23:12] FreakyFerret> *poof*
[23:12] Talbon> TBC: The pain of it all.
[23:12] scix> now how would the reversed forms go?
[23:12] FreakyFerret> But! Talbon thinks TBC is irrevocably straight now?
[23:13] ChalyGryffon> Mine's easily reversed... :
[23:13] TheBlackCupid> Reminds me of a story idea Warren Ellis once had...
[23:13] FreakyFerret> Chaly: how?
[23:13] TheBlackCupid> A bunch of villains sitting around talking about how much they like being beat up by the Green Lantern.
[23:13] ChalyGryffon> FF: If my dyslexia is the inability to control my shaking, what would the reversed form be? Think now.
[23:14] FreakyFerret> TBC: I saw that. years ago. but it was the Flash.
[23:14] rin> you know, pdi reminds me of "deuces" from "wild cards" edited by george r.r. martin...
[23:14] TheBlackCupid> FF: Um, he never wrote that story.
[23:14] rin> scix & talbon: you guys ever read?
[23:14] FreakyFerret> TBC: i'm just saying it's a theme used before.
[23:14] TheBlackCupid> Really? Who wrote it?
[23:14] scix> 461 in queue
[23:14] scix> rin: no
[23:15] FreakyFerret> TBC: i don't know. it was an actual comic.
[23:15] TheBlackCupid> Hmm... The Flash you say?
[23:15] scix> chaly: uncontrolled stillness
[23:15] rin> scix: i'll bring down some material that i have on it, when i come to san diego...
[23:15] Talbon> rin: I've never read it before.
[23:15] TheBlackCupid> Damn, I don't kow who could have come up with that.
[23:15] ChalyGryffon> Scix: I figure that much. ^^
[23:16] FreakyFerret> TBC: it was an actual issue of the Flash. When Wally took over. The villians were comparing him to Alan. And it was all like "Oooo, but Alan was always so good. And such a smart man. I shall now drool in a most homoerotic way, but i'm not really, okay?"

My power is that I can find anything.<P>The dyslexia is that I can't be trying, or it doesn't work.

I want a PD!<P>I can't think of anything interesting, though, other than creating brownies, which is dyslexic, b/c they just make you hungrier.

*g* I can tell you what Fewwet would be like Reverso-ed. He'd be like me. ^_^ And delete 11 out of 10 pieces of porn.
Just imagine all the HD space that'd save him!<P>Nyah!<P>My power... My power would be... Eeek, this is hard... Projective great memory. The dyslexia would be that it's always bad things about me that people remember... <P>That, or something between Pathos and Fosa. ^_^ I love to be the focus of attention, but somehow, it always manages to annoy everyone around me...<P>

In some old (Chameloid series) stories, I had the power to shapeshift into anything.<P>However, it was partially dyslexic: I would shapeshift "wildly" into a new form in my sleep. Imagine waking up and not seeing yourself in the mirror, and it's a full-length one at that!

I envisioned some questions to get the *scope* of the power, as in precog, telep, etc. Then some questions to generate the dyslexic attributes. For telepathy, for example, one question could be "What number am I thinking?" -- then questions like "Do you experience unusual weight loss or gain?" to narrow it down. Since we'll be coding this ourselves, we can get Very specific.<P>------------------
