Where: Out in a park somewhere

[Slight backdate due to how this happens shortly after he's kicked out of his own dorms]

[Anwayy you have two options!!]

One

[It's a live! A very average looking boy in some ridiculous scifi dress sits at a long table that is covered in just... random, shit, to be honest, grouping them up: a butter knife and a toy gun, sunglasses and a watch, syringe and a dart, a hand towel and a sheet of paper with a real dumb drawing on it, etc.

And after pondering over these for a little while he grabs the first set, the butter knife and the toy gun, and ... well they just sort of merge together. and the result is...: a butter knife that shoots little pellets out of the handle]

Wow.

That's really stupid.


Two

[A memory broadcast, namely, of a boy making faces while getting lectured on how to escape from the government by his mother on the phone: this page until the line 'Same as always'

note: Three's name is bleeped out]


Huh, is that what families are like.

[a boy dressed in a white frilly dress and holding a parasol sort of leans down from where he's perched in a nearby tree. don't even ask how he got up there given how he's dressed.] What's, ah, that supposed to be? [quiet. almost whispery.]

[a_fine_human]

[starts a bit and looks at him, taking him him in with surprise but not really reacting to it]

...dunno. I'm just play-- 'experimenting', with how this ability works.

[forgottenmercy]

[...isn't this the same boy that tripped Intensity and shoved him face-first into a chair during/after that memory debate Live?]

...how does it, ah, work, if I may ask?

[ feeling absolutely garbage still but also he has to like not be at home right now or else he'll be trapped by unitmates ]

. . . Oh my . . . What were you trying to make . . . ?

[ faintly, voice cracked and hoarse ]

[a_fine_human]

[shit, if only the mun had paid attention to that post instead of going on vacation and forgetting about everything.

anyway, anyone who beats up intensity is at least a B- in his book]

It combines the attributes of two object.

But its not very specific about which attributes.

[takes the hand towel and the peace of paper with... an extremely ugly chicken drawn on it, and combines them to get... a slightly thinner hand towel with a picture of a very ugly chicken drawing on it]

[blinks and tilts his head

i guess people are fucked up from that game i wasn't in]

Not anything, really. I'm exploring how the ability works.

Re: 1

[sancrimony]

[ sometimes screaming a lot does this to u ]

I see. . . May I join you?

[forgottenmercy]

[tilts head birdlike] ...would the results, ah, be the same if you repeated it with the same components? [pause] ...can you, um, de-combine them? [waves hand vaguely.]

Re: 1

[a_fine_human]

Sure. Let me know if you think of any good combinations.

[a_fine_human]

[shakes his head]

No taking them apart, any time you combine them you lose the original components for good. I haven't had a chance to verify if the results are consistent yet.

The real question is what can I make that's cheaper than it would be to buy it with points. Or would be useful but isn't purchasable with points.

It seems like you had a smart mother. If I'm understanding the gist of the situation correctly.

[forgottenmercy]

...oh I, ah, see. [ponders] ...and, ah, finding out either way would be expensive.

[furrytailprince]

It does not seem particularly useful.

[ guess who has also emerged from the dogpile in BE=DE

though, he hesitates when he sees him, almost tentative; ]

Luci ... ?

Re: 2

[a_fine_human]

...yeah, I guess so. Doesn't listen well, though.

[a_fine_human]

Basically. I got these items for free because of the live but I don't think I'll get to keep them. So it's a cheap way to experiment.

[grabs an old flip phone and a pair of sunglasses and combines though, which yields a pair of cellphone shades]

I've been thinking about this one, but I'd need a second ability to control it with your mind to use it, and I don't actually need to be looking at my phone all the time.

Re: 1

[sancrimony]

Alright. By the by, is this the only way these items can be fused together?

Re: 1

[sancrimony]

[ turns 10000% paler and freezing on the spot ]

Re: 1

[a_fine_human]

I don't know yet, I've only just starting experimenting. It doesn't feel like I have control over the shape they take, but maybe that's something you learn with practice. Or it's outside of my hands, but it's random. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of duplicates of the same objects right now.

Re: 1

[grandschemed]

[ nooooo


voice low, trying to be soothing; ]

-- Hey. It's okay. Ya don't have to panic.

Re: 2

[eatsthecanary]

It sounded like she had a lot to say.

Re: 2

[a_fine_human]

No kidding, though I can't remember most of what she was talking about. Nothing good.

Re: 2

[eatsthecanary]

Unless you consider being on the run from the government good.

Re: 1

[sancrimony]

I see . . . Mmm, perhaps it would be best to see if you can intentionally create something the way that you mean to create it.

[ pausing, and then picking up a few pine needles to offer them to him ]

In terms of duplicates of the same object - these are relatively simple, but there are plenty of them. Would they work?

Re: 2

[a_fine_human]

Sounds like a pain...
