WHO: dabi + libra network
WHERE: libra app
WHEN: oct. 12th, morning
WHAT: dabi has some questions
WARNINGS: existentialism probably, at worst. just dabi finally accepting some things, whether or not he likes it.


hey
so like
its me again and whatever, i just got a few qs for my fellow freaks
so magic is real, alright, i get it, i cant really fuckin deny it anymore, ive seen way too much shit i Cannot damn well explain but like
thats fine, i can adjust
i dont really think its a takeaway for people to have animal parts or be able to shoot explosions out of their hands or idk, turn into water

my question is, how often do you people just
get these powers
wake up with them suddenly
how do you KNOW when you have them, if they arent like
visually fuckin there

and uh

is there

...any way to get rid of the ones that are.

happens at random, you just kinda get a ~feeling~ at least for me, aaaand uh. no. not really.

[He. Doesn't think telling Dabi about the Horned Statue is a good idea. No telling if it'd work for him, anyway.]

[dabi]

[ probably a terrible idea to tell him about the statue--what with how strong his denial'd been, he might make a few bad choices there. ]

well
fuck

alright
that's knowledge gained even if it wasnt what i wanted to hear
cant say ive gotten any weird feelings yet tho
at least there's that

[switchaxe]

sorry. what happened?

[dabi]

woke up with sharp pain in my back
'cause i was lying on a funny angle on my brand new set of fucking bluebird wings.

[switchaxe]

well. shit. get in touch with the tailor guy?

Using it by accident, usually. Or I get a sudden urge to try something, and then it happens.

... I don't know of any way to get rid of powers.

[...]

Having trouble?

[dabi]

no shit? learning by accident seems like hell. fortunately nothing like that's turned up for me yet but uh.

...

let's just say none of my goddamn shirts fit anymore unless I cut the back out of them.

this is hell
i think im in hell?

[unreachableside]

... I thought having a tail was annoying enough. I didn't even consider something like wings or whatever you've got going on.

There are stores in Undertown that sell clothes made for people like us. You can ask around for a tailor, too.

Also.

Welcome to hell.

[THANKS BLADE]

[dabi]

[ BLADE THOSE ARE NOT THE WORDS OF COMFORT THAT HE NEEDS, and yet somehow that is so fucking on brand that dabi can only lean back in his chair and groan-- ]

at least with a tail you could just poke a hole and thread it out or something
these things take up way too much fucking room and theyre like
idk they look like theyre on fire at the tips but its solid, somehow

theyre absolutely wings
but they are fucked up wings

[unreachableside]

[He's not the friend you go to for a hug unless you're desperate.]

You're not setting things on fire? That's good. Don't go knocking out any walls, now.

[LIKE BLADE DID BACK THEN...]

How are they fucked up? Is it just the fire part?

[He's absolutely not feeling social in the slightest, but he's here anyway. He's vaguely aware that he's at least partly to blame for Dabi having a whole crisis right now.]

Honestly it usually just happens? Like one second you're fully human and then the next, not anymore. It happens a lot, if you were born in this world then it's a pretty high chance you'll have something hinky happen to you. I don't think I've come across any of us yet that didn't have something going on.

I don't think you can get rid of them? They just stick. Why, did you get something?

[ zulius was 100% one of the people who added to his slow decline towards being unable to deny the truth, even if he wasn't the nail in the coffin. ]

noone at all. like. holy shit you have no idea how insane that sounds, for real.
the white hair was fine, i was fine with that.

but now im sitting in my bedroom cutting holes in my favorite shirts because the new pair of fun and fruity blue goddamn wings I woke up with refuse to comfortably stay under them.

[bebest]

[He's so sorry, Dabi! His B!!!]

I know it does, but that's just how it goes. Like one day you're living the regular life and then you get this app and suddenly it's SURPRISE APENGAGES or I CAN THROW FIRE NOW. It's just what happens.

Oh dang, wings? A couple friends of mine got those, they sound uncomfy. You should talk to August, he's a good tailor to help people out with stuff like this. Undertown has a bunch of folks who can help, too.

[dabi]

willing to bet if id stayed in fucking denial i wouldnt have grown wings
or at least the bitchy part of me wants to claim that idk this is not how i wanted to wake up on a thursday morning

i know im like
preaching to the choir and shit here given you woke up with way more legs but

hough

...tailor
august
you mean the devil guy
i know exactly who youre talking about? hes a tailor???

[bebest]

I don't think it works that way, Babe, sorry. Can't blame you for the wishful thinking though.

Yeah, it was a whole THING but I figured it out and I'm okay with it now. I'm still me. I'm just me with extra body parts now.

That's him, yeah. He's a tailor, a really good one too. He figured out a coat for me for the winter so y'know, gotta give him points there.

You've probably been experiencing supernatural occurrences more than you realize
Denial is a powerful tool

What's got you all ruffled this time?

[dabi]

lmfao thats what ive been realising
ive probably just overlooked fucking dozens of things in my life like they were fucking normal and now im Paying Attention

and lol 'ruffled' is apt because i woke up with a cramp in a new set of fucking limbs on my back
wings, to be exact
that sure as shit weren't there when i passed out the night before

[bleakdecember]

Either they were minor enough that it wasn't an issue
Or you have trauma you're suppressing
Hard to say

...Wings?
You're kidding, right

[dabi]

listen idk about any trauma suppression but maybe i just wasnt paying attention. sure. im pretty easygoing on the best of days.

and listen
im like
one of the funniest guys you'll ever meet

but i am for once
not joking.

[bleakdecember]

If you say so
I don't think therapists can handle this sort of stuff, one way or another


...
No
That can happen?
Are you sure you're not just hallucinating?
Can anyone else see them?

[not_a_possum]

Unfortunately? No. Once you change, that's it. That's what you look like now. My friend knows a guy who can enchant jewelry if you need an illusion, though.

As for powers, I usually just stumble across them by accident? Which can be kind of messy when you have fire powers.

[dabi]

that is absolutely a pain in the ass and i really cannot stress enough how annoying it is to hear that kind of answer
no offense on you, just the messenger and all etc. i appreciate it.

...

and well
shit

that is troublesome
the wings look like they're uh.
made of fire, at the end.
some weird visual effect.
theyre not hot, tho

[not_a_possum]

Oh yeah, believe me. I feel the same way about my own changes. I've gotten used to dealing with it, though.

I'm an imp.

[dabi]

an imp, like fr

like you mean a little two foot tall critter with horns and wings and shit

ok that's awkward but like
also pretty rad, not going to lie

[not_a_possum]

I don't have wings, but yes to the rest of it.
