The big one is not using any powers. Aside from that... I'm only se-- eighteen, so I still have to go to school for a few more years. And we have curfews, but that's like eleven at night.

There are other things like not getting into huge fights, no running in the residential areas - but those are just common sense, anyway.

Most of those seem like good rules, but I think you should be able to use your powers. They're yours.

And a few more years? What age does school stop at? Or become optional.

We can't do that because demiflora powers can be dangerous. And we're supposed to be living normal lives, anyway, so we shouldn't even need them.

Twenty-one. Then we start working like the rest of the adults.

Then they don't trust you to just not use them in dangerous ways? If someone wanted to do something bad with their powers, a rule wouldn't stop them anyway.

What kind of work? Do you stay in the tower?

It's probably just to make sure no one's tempted to do more than they should...? I don't know, but we can't really be equal to normal people if we're using our powers however we want. Besides, if they're dumb enough to do it and get caught, they expelled from the Tower.

[ kind of similar to how it's supposed to be here. maybe a little too similar to how it's actually done, in a way. ]

Yeah. It's stuff around the Tower, but I don't know all the specifics.

But you aren't normal people if you have powers that they don't. Why do you need to match?

[ don't worry about the similarities between here and there. this is 8 weeks and then you get free reign of powers in heaven! but 21 years??? too long. ]

I guess you'll learn when you get older.

Weren't you guys saying we all needed to be on even ground, and that's why we don't have powers here? It's probably like that.

Yeah, I think they start training us for that once we're done with high school level classes...? I'm not sure.

This is only for eight weeks, then you can do anything you want. Like earning trust.

Is there no way to earn trust in the tower?
