[It's not that Cobb has been here for a while, it's that he learns very, very quickly. It comes with the territory, of being very much accustomed to laying low. He's always been fairly cautious and wary unless personal matters are involved, after all. It's something that comes with the territory when you've been on the field long enough. He deems it appropriate enough to talk to the network as a whole now. Plus, he's asked enough to catch the basics--he's near a console by the window in a cafe in the earth district, nursing the best tea he's had in years and typing anonymously. ]

Interesting for a place not quite near life, death, or dreaming. How many people here are well versed in Oneirology?

So you're saying there's other people with powers such as yourself?

text

[sophos]

No, because I don't have any magical sort of powers. But there are people here who do.

text

[squint]

Visions don't count as powers?

text

[sophos]

I've never really considered them to be on that level. Not compared to stuff like controlling water or lightning.

text

[squint]

Where I come from, there's nothing at all like that.

[Okay this text is murdering her eyes and brain. Don't mind her random switch to audio.]

Well, there's plenty of people probably not from your world here. There's a pretty big variety of skills and powers. And they all work, so long as you're on the turtle.

[squint]

Sounds like a pretty big spectrum. Examples other than your visions?

audio

[sophos]

Visions aren't my power. I'm no Oracle.

But just what I said before - people who can control lightning, water. Aspects of the weather. Super speed. Super strength.

audio

[squint]

And it's normal in their world. Correct?

audio

[sophos]

I haven't spoken to every single person individually, but normal enough, I would imagine. Normal for them, at least.

audio

[squint]

Odd, if the number games have those with no powers here as well.

audio

[sophos]

You don't have to have special powers to be a hero.

[It's a little harsher than she intended.]

[ It does, and he notices. Categorizes it for later, just in case. ]

?

audio

[sophos]

Just what I said.

And apparently that's why we're here. To be heroes. To help the kedan against a threat.

text;

[squint]

I am certainly not a hero.

audio

[sophos]

Well, the Emperor did say something went wrong in her summoning spell, and people other than the intended were getting pulled here.

text;

[squint]

That's pretty good information. Thanks.
You got a name?

audio

[sophos]

It's one of my strong points.

Annabeth.

text;

[squint]

Well, Annabeth. Do you mind if I ask you any other questions if I have them?

audio

[sophos]

Not at all. The more people share about this place amongst each other, the better.

Thank you.
