Oh... well, I think mine is alright to share. You don't have to share yours if you don't think you ought to, though. [she smiles] It allows me to alter my features to be someone else's of my choosing.
[a beat]
Can't see how I'd use it, unless someone was trying to kill me and I wanted to disguise myself as one of their friends so they'd leave me alone!
We've done enough comparisons to that sort of thing that it would be odd to suddenly match up with people you haven't before, I think - but maybe someone else wouldn't think that far ahead.
... You could still use it for that sort of thing though. Hearing that.

You're also assuming everyone remembers exact foot sizes, we check them pretty often but people might not be focusing on much other than just what's closest to what they're looking for.
...true... it's just, the names of people who have similar sizes come up as suspects if there's other evidence that could point to them, right? So it'd be strange to, say, suddenly have a footprint match both Aoi and Gu-xiong, wouldn't it? Since they would never have been linked in that way before.

...a killer could use it the night of a murder to obscure the evidence. By the time we started the trial, their features would have gone back to normal.
Well, the first time around, there was a power that corresponded to each Avatar, right? [...] So I wonder if it's that each Avatar provides a power in exchange for the task, or if it's just that enough powers are provided for us to have three of whatever there were.
If it's the first, then there aren't enough of us left for there to be three of each kind.
Eight by three is 24. There's a chance there's only one power out there with two recipients, but we won't know until we know who has what. Either by name or power type.
[ and then no more than two people responded to each power. ]
...I guess we'll only be able to figure it out if people share what they earned.
But... I can't really blame anyone who wants to keep quiet about theirs, at this point. Especially if it's something that could be used for self-defense if someone came after them.
Right? And some of these powers would be enough to have people automatically suspicious. We might need to be honest about some of what we know next week though -- with people changing body parts, someone might try to pin the crime on someone and we could fall for it.
...though if we share that we have it, someone else who does might think twice about using it because there would be someone out there who knows what it does.

[ hm. ]
Hiding a wound maybe. Or if you'd left foot prints at the crime scene you could change your feet when people were looking at foot sizes?
no subject
[so... there's that.]

Exactly.

Hopefully no one else who has it will think of that.
no subject
But there's a high chance they might. Depending on who has it.

I don't think I'll say anything unless someone else does, though - I want to see if they'll get cocky thinking no one else has it and lie about it.
no subject
[ and low and behold, they didn't. ]
Hopefully you'll find out both of them.
no subject
Hopefully! ...though, I wonder... if maybe we might be reaching a point where maybe there are only two of each power, not three.
