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"?

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

Absolutely nothing. &hearts

[long silence, before quietly]

You sound like him.

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.

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

Power over powers.

Good question~

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

What a shame.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

...Like who?

[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.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

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

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

So you would do something.

Like what?

[nottwiceblessed.livejournal.com]

[a pause, then he's gone back to writing for some reason]

Someone I know.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

If I had my version of true power?

Heh. To change things. Whether they have past, or are still currently happening. I would change those things.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Being?

[ino]

Oh yeah? You waiting for someone to say they'll use it for something specific?

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

So you'd to be the one on top, or the one making the calls right?

[nottwiceblessed.livejournal.com]

Why do you care?

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?

[xxbloodflame.livejournal.com]

I only say this because if I gained all the power I could ever want, there'd be nothing left to accomplish, nothing left to change, no one to kill, and very few worth saving. ♥

Although I doubt it could ever happen, as I am firmly of the belief there is always someone stronger.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Hmm? No, not really. Just something thought provoking.

Something else for me to dwell on.

[ino]

Hmm.

[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.]

[proxyhorseman.livejournal.com]

Hm.

Yuan

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

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

Powerlessness.

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

Have you now?

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