[Nina looks somewhat concerned when she turns on the video feed, and she doesn't waste any time getting right down to it.]

I have a question for the other newcomers who came here normal. No, I'm sorry, I don't mean that many of you are abnormal—I'm talking about powers.

[She stretches a hand out before here for a moment.]

There's never been anything that special about me. Not in that way. But they say that after being here for a while, some newcomers can do things they couldn't do before. Like heroes in comic books. But I always thought special powers were like Superman's, you know? Really obvious stuff.

But...things have been happening lately. When I'm studying for class and want to find something in a textbook, I can always find it right away, whether I've read it before or not. And when I'm tidying up the apartment, I just know where things are. And that's harder than you think when Tenma's been a little messy. It's happened often enough that I know it's not my imagination.

Do you think it's possible for something like that to be a 'power'?

[She's not sure how Nina feels about her, honestly. But she loves Kenzo - and she probably should tell him that. But, powers are kinda normal back home, so...]

I... came here with powers. I can make a guess, if you want?

Sure. You have more experience with them than I do.

[He stares at the screen, considering her and her statement.

His left hand goes up to his head and twists the screw embedded in his skull. Once, twice, three times, and then an audible clunk as it locks into place.]

It certainly sounds like a power.

[herausgesucht]

Just...finding things? It's not normal, I suppose, but it doesn't seem very special.

[Man, this worries him. Just a little. Not because powers are bad or anything like that, but he's still... scared.]

...So. Does that mean you found where my pen went? [Grins.]

[You can never hide anything from her ever again, Tenma.]

Yes. And some of its friends.

[video]

[kal_el]

Of course it's possible. And trust me, some of this stuff wasn't so obvious to me when I was starting out.

[Oh hey, she didn't expect this. She sort of expected he's out helping people most of the time.]

It just seems like you should be able to tell right away whether something's a power and not just being lucky.

[gabriel_gray]

What you're describing sounds like clairvoyance. Have you tried to test it?

[video]

[herausgesucht]

Test it how?

[inthejunk]

So, next time I can't find my keys I should call you?

[herausgesucht]

Well...maybe. I wonder if I would be able to find them.

[video]

[asano_san]

If that's your power, at least it's one you could find out about without damaging anything.

[video]

[herausgesucht]

Did yours?

[longaevus]

I've seen others with similar abilities, some sadly discovering them in less pleasant way than you have.

[herausgesucht]

Really? How?

[axemeaquestion]

When I got my powers here I was asking the same sort of thing to myself. I think it could be.

[herausgesucht]

Did you? What are yours?

[ungodly]

There's nothing special about me, and I haven't found any 'special powers', or anything.

[ Ugh, just calling them 'powers' makes her feel so lame. ]

video.

[herausgesucht]

I thought the same about myself for a long time.

[madeinoblivion]

You're a good finder? May you could start some kind of Lost and Found service!

[herausgesucht]

I don't think I need another job. But I wouldn't mind helping people out in a pinch.

[antiwar]

Well, that sounds quite useful! I don't see why it wouldn't be considered special enough to be a power. Were you hoping for something else?

[ Video ]

[herausgesucht]

I hadn't really thought much about it, honestly.

[video]

[ace_attorney]

If it is a power, it sounds like a really useful one. At least, for me.

Do you lose things a lot?
