Soul?

So, most none of us had lives before we had powers.

@Etcetera

Ruby and Soren did, apparently. Scratch any children of members in the group. I think all of the Big X has horrible or wonderful backstories about their powers at a young age, since they were destined to hold all those swords.

I feel that that's probably not at the top of the interdimensional being skill tree.

@Etcetera

I'm sure we all had lives before we had powers. Except for me. And you. And Spirit. And Maddie. And Techi, sort of. Poor girl. And... the list goes on and on, it seems.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Do we know anyone who qualifies as a linguist?

@Etcetera

Oh, heavens, I don't actually know. Is our group that bereft or have we not properly met enough people?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

I don't know him.

@Etcetera

Neither do I, exactly. So he wouldn't be able to provide an accurate judge.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Who do we know that's guaranteed to be good at that on all fronts?

@Etcetera

Martyn seems fairly "chill".

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Asking someone who is a good conversationalist.

@Etcetera

Good and unexpectedly simple idea.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Ah, gotcha. I hope that's not the case, at least.

@Etcetera

If it were, how would we ever find out?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Which phenomenon do you mean?

@Etcetera

Why, that very one you mentioned, in which you believe everyone is good at conversation only because you may not be!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Yeah. Though on the other hand, Kat said the same thing. Maybe I just think everyone is good at conversation because I'm not good at it or something.

@Etcetera

I highly suspect that I experience the same phenomenon.
