Who: You! Me! Everybody!
Broadcast: idk but we've sure got a pretty broad cast of folks eh, eh
Action: HECK YEAH PLANET MINGLE
When: 10/7 until plot update or recaptcha

It's a deep, deep forest filled to the brim with fungi, mysterious life forms, and pitch black darkness. Explore if you dare and discover all these things and more! Just don't get lost...

So - how do you deal with having them? I mean, so many people want powers but what if...you just want them gone?

[ He tilts his head at that. ]

Your powers do not define you. They are simply an extension of you. I am Leto before I am anything else. Powers, status, ability.

But what if there was another you and he was - he had the same powers but he didn't use them for good?

[ is it another him, a mirror image, a side that he won't admit to? he's not sure, himself. ]

I guess I'm not sure. I mean, how can you really know?

Then that is his choice, not yours. That's where the resemblance ends, Cisco. You cannot conflate yourself with a mirror image simply because there are some similarities.

You are the one who chooses. Not other worlds, not predestined fate.

The guy who gave us all these powers did believe in fate. Though I guess the whole thing bit him in the ass since he his existence was erased.

[ and yet, what it all comes down too seems to be the very fact that, ]

I don't know what to do.

Then start with another question.

What would you like to do?

I dunno.

[ truthfully ]

how do you figure something like that out?

It takes time, for sure.

But I find that there's always a moment in time, a tipping point that diverges us. What makes us different from, say, an evil doppleganger.

When the time comes, I'm sure you'll do the right thing.
