01 : video 🕷 daemon : happyd
[ The video feed starts off shaky, a close-up of the front of a red t-shirt taking up most of the screen while the muffled sounds of sight struggle are heard -- although, nothing serious, it's more fumbling and clearly frustrated sighs. ]
Okay. [ It's the voice of a teenage boy! ] Is thing working? Is it on?
Yes. [ The daemon replies in a familiar older male's voice, sounding clearly Done with Peter Parker. ] Now back up, you're way too close to me.
Yeah, sure. [ He backs up, and who would have guessed that the voice of a teenager was coming from a teenager? ]
Uhm. Okay. [ He straightens his shirt out, clearly he isn't used to addressing any large groups of people... even if he can't actually see them ]
Hi! I'm Peter! [ He gives a quick wave of his hand. ] And, wow, this is a pretty long way from Queens, am I right? [ Awkward laughter. ]
Listen, kid, hurry up and get to the point, okay?
Right. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has any special skills, or abilities, or hidden talents. I once knew someone who was double jointed in their shoulders, they could turn their arms in all these weird directions
[ And, then he starts attempting to do the same..... but, very unsuccessfully. It just ends up looking odd. ]
Okay, they get it, quit it before you hurt yourself.
Okay, okay. [ Nod. Nod. ] So.... Yeah. [ He claps both of his hands together. ] If you do, is that something normal where you're from, or do you have to keep it a secret? Did someone teach you, or was it something you were born with?
Or is it the result of a run in with a radioactive insect?
[ Well, that's oddly specific.... ]
Alright, enough questions already, these folks have things to do. Wrap it up.
Fine, fine. turn off. End transmission. Stop--
[ The video then ends abruptly. ]

a lot of people not canon blind wouldn't know the difference either tbh aslkgjh oh, canon :')
[ it's a very 'if you wander out of city limits with no combat knowledge you're liable to get eaten by raptors or some other such monster' type world. combined with bandits and feral Beastmen and an invading empire makes for fairly frequent Echo visions of interesting ways to die. (ʘ‿ʘ✿) ]
It's quite useful, isn't it?
Thus far I am the only one with this Blessing of Light that I or my companions are aware of. If there is another, Hydaelyn has not deigned to tell me.
It's not often that I need face things on my own. In most cases I have allies with me, though usually I am the one to lead the charge as I tend to be the most durable.

Sometimes it is, but there's no way to turn it off and it can be kind of overwhelming. I've gotten a lot better at honing in on it, but at first, it was like sensory overload.
Wow. That's really cool! You must be a really important person to have been the only one it's granted to. My powers are sort of like that, there's no one else that I've found with the exact same ones, but there are others with different abilities that I don't have.
Not as much responsibility involved with mine though 😅
In my experience, things are a lot less scary when you have a team backing you up.

I am happy to hear that you've managed to hone your intuition to be less intrusive. It will be an invaluable skill. :)
I believe when one is burdened with great power there is also a great responsibility to go with it. I have seen too many with immense power use it to subjugate others for their own personal gain.
I hope that you will not bear that burden until you are fully grown, and with allies by your side.
There are different fears when working with a team. I always am afraid I will fail them - that they will die, and it have been something I could have prevented. Yet the security in having friends fight alongside you is a feeling without measure. Their presence pushes me past the limits of my strength even if only to see them to safety.
