I've asked you all what power is, and the answers I reaped from that inquiry were quite, for lack of a better term, charming.

Now I wish to ask you all a different question. Perhaps a much more thought provoking one. At least, I expect that will be the case for some of you.

You've gained your true power. Now what would you do with it? What would you accomplish, what would you change, who would you save, who would you kill?

Essentially, what will you do with the theoretical power you've obtained?

And please, don't waste time with good and evil. Those things are nothing more than a matter of perspective.

What do you mean, "true power"?

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Power is a matter of perspective. I suppose it's unique to everyone. And true power? That should be obvious.

Power over powers.

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

Absolutely nothing. &hearts

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

What a shame.

[long silence, before quietly]

You sound like him.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

...Like who?

If by "true power" you mean all the power you could possibly gain given the individual~ I'd probably hang around for a week, then kill myself and hope I get reincarnated as someone taller.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

What a pity. Perhaps even more so than the one that would do nothing with it. But, I suppose, that is an answer.

[ino]

Good question~

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

However, I've yet to truly ascertain a good answer.

I would topple the organization that keeps my world in thrall to a madman, eliminate every trace of that control and give the mortals back the powers of choice that have been taken from them, for a start.

What brings this up?

Yuan

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Hm. I see. Sounds like your world is quite broken, in its own fashion.

Powerlessness.

[thefifth.livejournal.com]

... Hm.

I think, I've already gained that power and accomplished everything that I would want to.


[ooc: BD;; oops, reconsider'd.]

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Have you now?

That's quite the bold claim to make. Are you certain you've managed to accomplish everything?

[shigure-souen.livejournal.com]

I would use it to protect my friends.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Noble.

But let's elaborate on that. What does it mean to protect?

[fanned.livejournal.com]

No idea.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Then let us hope you never get that power.

[devilprodigy.livejournal.com]

Hm... I imagine that's a loaded question for some of the people here.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Quite so. I was hoping for some...more illustrious answers.

[apathological.livejournal.com]

I always enjoy reading the responses to these questions of yours, Vergil.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

As do I. Amusing as they are, I was hoping for something more...substantial.

[dreams-in-red.livejournal.com]

I would reunite myself with my husband.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Sounds like such a simple task.

But that's not at all the case, is it?

[extendable.livejournal.com]

I would rearrange my furniture with my mind.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I believe this is the most interesting answer I've received yet.

[ripplingophelia.livejournal.com]

Anything I wanted.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

A dangerous decision. Better than nothing, I suppose.

[ontheprecipice.livejournal.com]

It's unfortunate that I missed your previous question. I'm sure you got some interesting answers.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Unfortunate indeed. Their were quite a few answers that were actually insightful. As opposed to this latest crop of answers.

[geneticism.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I think the only power I'd work that hard for would be knowledge, so my answer to this question wouldn't be very exciting.

((OOC: Sorry for the character spam. D: It's a topic that gets 'em all talking.))

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Answers don't always need to be exciting, and knowledge is one of the great powers of all.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

...I would save everyone I couldn't. I would right all the wrongs I was powerless to stop. I would take back the mistakes I had no right to make.

Perhaps I would try to change my world again.

Then I would give it back.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

You would try to do everything you ever fell short of.

That list must be dishearteningly large.

By giving it back, you mean the power then. No use for it after you've used it, or is it more an act of self-preservation?

[notsomuchakitty.livejournal.com]

You talk like this is all hypothetical.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

For most, it is. True power is not but a dream for many.

[thefinaldream.livejournal.com]

I would make everyone happy.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Oh? Do you believe there is enough power in any world to ever accomplish that?

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

That would be boring.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Would it now? And why is that?
