[ ... touches danny's forehead like he can tell ]

[foreverphantom]

[ okay well danny will pull away from the touch when he does this, but for the moment that ace does make contact with his forehead he feels...

like a totally normal temperature!!! ]

[selfimmolation]

Sorry, my bad. [ sometimes you are used to everyone you meet having no sense of personal space ] But your temperature seems normal to me?

[foreverphantom]

It...does?

[ feels his own forehead. he has no idea how to gauge his own temperature like this.

so he presses two fingers down on his wrist for a moment, and then under his jawline. ]

...huh. Oh, that's weird.

[selfimmolation]

Huh, hey, maybe it got fixed and you can be an astronaut now!

[ that is not how that works. ]

[foreverphantom]

I think it's just a side effect of whatever this place is doing to mess with our powers.

[selfimmolation]

Ugh, I keep forgetting about that.

[foreverphantom]

Lucky you. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

[selfimmolation]

What happened to yours? Mine's... I don't know, partway working.

[foreverphantom]

Mine too. Emphasis on "partway."

[selfimmolation]

And yours usually make your heartbeat slower?

[foreverphantom]

It's...a side effect.

[selfimmolation]

Makes sense. My body heat got way higher after I got mine.

[foreverphantom]

Has it lowered since coming here?

[selfimmolation]

No, but I'm still mostly fire.

[foreverphantom]

[




goes to poke him right in his shirtless chest. IS HE??? ]

[selfimmolation]

[ no it is solid muscle right now. enjoy ... that? ]

If I turn into fire now, I'd burn you. [ don't use your HAND? ]

[foreverphantom]

[ waves his hand dismissively ]

I could pass through it anyway, it wouldn't hurt me.

But alright, sure. Hands off. [ he holds both his hands up as proof that they are not touching Ace ] Let's see it now.

[selfimmolation]

How am I supposed to know that? But sure, alright.

[ actually he will take back the little toy train because this is the closest thing he has to demonstrate. which is to say he takes it, throws it up in the air, and then turns into flame and wow it passes right through him. wow. incredible. he dodged a toy. and now it is a singed toy. wowee ]

Ta-da.

[foreverphantom]

Huh.

Can you hold onto anything when you're like that?

[selfimmolation]

Yep. And it doesn't affect my clothes or anything, so I don't have to worry about burning off any items I've got on me.

[ so the shirtless thing is not because of fire. it is a choice. ]

[foreverphantom]

Huh. So our powers are the same in that way.

What about...can you go through walls like that? What would the fire even do to the wall in that case?

[selfimmolation]

Can't go through walls! But I can't do that at home either. Fire's still pretty much solid.

[foreverphantom]

Huh.

So what's changed about it here?

[selfimmolation]

[ a little sadly; ]

I can't attack at all. It's just the defense thing. Which, sure, it's a huge plus of being a logia, but I am fire. I can't even send out one measly fireball here.
