Well.

I went out today to see if I could help with the fact that there's no sun, and I saw this man making lightning and cutting himself, and he was terrorizing the entrance to the underground, so I told him to cut it out. He cut himself and tried to hit me with lightning, but I blocked it, and after I managed to get him somewhere safe where he couldn't hurt anyone else, I noticed that my shield feels right again!

So I guess it just had to be hit by lightning. But the fact that it feels normal makes me a whole lot calmer about this whole thing.

[Pause]

But really, try to use these powers for good, okay? Especially if you have to something terrible to make them work.

[Are you for real?]

Your shield? Feels lighter?

[punchedhitler]

Not lighter, exactly. Right.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

And it felt... wrong before?

[punchedhitler]

It wasn't absorbing shock like it used to.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I don't know what that's supposed to mean.

[is-was-willbe.livejournal.com]

Ooh, how lovely of you! I can only hope the others do just as well.

[punchedhitler]

Which others, ma'am?

[is-was-willbe.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, the others who will encounter those running around with new powers. One can't expect everyone to be extraordinary, but I tend to hope they will.

[punchedhitler]

Oh.

[Horrified.]

He was cutting himself to make his ability work? [Pausing.] I mean, I'm not just hearing things? That's what you said? He had to cut himself to use his ability?

[punchedhitler]

Yes. His hands, not a lot, but I don't think I would be using a power if that's what I had to do.

[charring]

Me, either. I hope he'll be okay.

[punchedhitler]

Well, I made sure he can't hurt anyone else for today, at least. I think he'll be okay once the curse goes away.

I actually had lightning powers last weekend, but I didn't need to do... that in order to work them. [In fact, he sounds a little disturbed at the idea.]

[punchedhitler]

I should hope no one else has to, either.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

So do I. Also, that must be some shield you've got there.

[punchedhitler]

Made special for me. It's great, it's gotten me through a lot of scrapes.

[orangetoughguy]

It's workin'?

[punchedhitler]

It's perfect.

[orangetoughguy]

That's great! I mean, cause the guy turned out okay too.

[punchedhitler]

Are you cursed?

[shall-yield-us.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, so good when special abilities come with the blessing of a moral consciousness incarnate.

[punchedhitler]

Well, I'm just doing what I can, really.

[shall-yield-us.livejournal.com]

Your noble best?

[punchedhitler]

My best, for sure.
