Voice | After the festival, before the world hop

[unrecovered]

[On one hand, Wash absolutely hates his power, and he is beyond angry with Astoria for saddling him with it. That's not going to change anytime soon.]

[On the other hand, odds are the group at large will need the use of his power at some point, and if they don't have it when they need it because he's been too busy bitching about it to learn how to use it effectively, that'll be his fault. The list of Things That Are Agent Washington's Fault is too long already; he doesn't need to add to it.]

[So here he is.]

If anyone's available, I could use some help getting a handle on my power.

Full disclosure: it's...invasive.

[And the sun is slightly warm.]

[OOC: Time to break in that permissions post!]

That's putting it lightly.

I talked with Astoria about it - she says she can't change it. Not enough strength right now. [He shakes his head.] She told me she thought it would be useful. She's not wrong, but...

[He trails off again. He's considered the various uses of his power, and they've all had the potential to down a very slippery slope very quickly.]

[People who can fly or make fire don't have to deal with these kinds of ethical dilemmas, the lucky bastards.]

[But Shiro has moved on, and it's easier to move on with him instead of dwelling on it. He stands and stretches.]

The biggest thing I've seen is the deer-birds, and they don't look like carnivores. Wrong teeth.

...though they might be good eating if we can catch one.

[He takes a long moment to consider that. They might be good eating and he could catch most things on four paws.]

Maybe. I’ve camped in there. It wasn’t too bad. [Says the guy that can shape shift in a massive lion. He pauses, realizing his version of not too bad and someone else’s probably won’t be the same.]

I know there’s bigger things in there but they didn’t come out to see us. Even when I was on four paws. Nothing challenged me for territory. I don’t really know what to make it in there. I think eventually we should ask Astoria more about it. But I also think a group recon would be a good idea. We do stay here at intervals.

[Camping in the forest wasn't something Wash had considered; he's been a bit preoccupied, to say the least. Still, it sounds like a good idea in the long term.]

I think you're right. Though it's probably something to plan once we get settled in a little better.

And we might not need to go into the forest to hunt - one of those things was on the roof the other day.
