Meat spray.





[????]

[highrisk]

What.

[fleshedout]

[Just stares at him like this explains everything!!!]

[highrisk]

Explain. What does that even mean?

[fleshedout]

[Just pats the golden spray can hanging from the holster on her side.]

I can spray flesh. It has multiple uses.

[Yes, she calls it a "meat spray" even in canon though this is just how it is.]

[highrisk]

Name one.

[fleshedout]

[Matter of factly:]

I could spray it all over your mouth and eyes and have it bind to your flesh so that you suffocate and die blind.

[JESUS]

[highrisk]

[fleshedout]

[the smallest little edge of a smile :) hehe]

[highrisk]

So it can bind to another person's flesh? That's disgusting.

[fleshedout]

It's effective, is what it is.

[highrisk]

But what about before you could control it?

[fleshedout]

...Before? I could always control it. Well...right after it appeared. Stands are like that, I think. Even if you're surprised by them, you learn to innately use it the way it should be used.

[highrisk]

... Oh. Weird.

[fleshedout]

...Is it different where you come from?

[highrisk]

Abilities tend to develop in kids. Learning to actually control them is a whole... Thing.

[fleshedout]

In kids...?

[She frowns at the idea of that.]

Stands can be passed down in families, but its especially rare. The most common way I've heard is through experiencing a phenomenon. A "miracle", you would say. There's a place in the desert where people can die, but those who survive...well.

[She shakes her head.]

To have a child deal with abilities they can't control...what difficult a thing that must be.

[highrisk]

Yeah, well. It is what it is.

No miracles or anything, but sometimes it's genetic. Other times seems totally random.

[fleshedout]

...Do they have anything in place to help those kids learn how to deal with their abilities, or what?

[highrisk]

There's the AM.

But they're up to just as much shady shit as they are helpful stuff, so it's kind of a gamble. You might get the help you need or depending on how interesting they think your ability is, you might get locked up and experimented on.

So.

[fleshedout]

...AM?

[That's...]

Experimented? Why would...those are children.

[highrisk]

Children who sometimes burst into flames uncontrollably. They can be dangerous.

And what kind of government agency wouldn't want to look into ways to create and weaponize that kind of power?

[fleshedout]

...

[Something about that last statement, especially, makes her face harden.]

Horrid. To think of something like that to be used just for one's own gain is...arrogant. More than that. I can't even find the word for that.

[highrisk]

It's a staple of sci-fi for a reason. How else was something like that ever gonna go down?

[ her world works differently than yours damien ]

[fleshedout]

Sci-fi...?

[what]

...Anyways, it doesn't matter. People in power, trying to use things, control things, to get more power? That's horrific, no matter what world you're in.
