batterypack: (To the pitch black streets)

My family's filled with psychics, but mine are a little different than that. [ how to explain. ] I'm like a battery. I would make a power like yours stronger, I bet. Anything that needs energy, I can boost it.

[ there are more things to that, but that's the easiest one to explain. ]

Oh... Wow. You're right, I've never heard of any demiflora who could do something like that.

[ she nods. ]

There are beings known as tree lights. Those who can embody the trees, and those who can reflect abilities back. I have some of those powers.

[ she says this fairly hesitantly because having an answer for her abilities is still sort of new.

Funny. I've never heard of it, but it does sound kind of similar to demiflora. Are you sure you're not part plant?

[ teasing because everyone keeps asking him that, may as well throw it back at someone else while he has the chance. ]

I could see how powers like that could be useful... but dangerous, too.

[ lmao about that. ]

My dad was one. [ she is in fact half a tree spirit because for some reason, this made sense. ] So maybe? I've always felt better connected to trees anyway.

[ back to the powers... ]

I think it's more dangerous for whatever is getting the boost. I have ways to protect myself from someone accessing my energy, at least.

...I wasn't being serious.

[ what do you mean it's legit what's he supposed to do with this information ]

But no, that's what I meant. Like if you boosted Iris's power when it's already so versatile - he'd really be able to do anything he wanted.
batterypack: (It has no appeal)

[ the answer is suffer, because she also had to just kind of go "okay, this makes some sense, but what do i do now." which is why she shrugs. ]

... what can Iris actually do, exactly? Yes, I understand it's versatile, but I thought demiflora only have a singular power.

Depends on the demiflora, I think. Mostly it's one power, some of them have other powers, too.

But Iris can create anything from any artwork he can touch. He used to use it make sketches of his inventions into real things - pretty sure that's how Penny happened - but it can really be anything.
batterypack: (Now real life has no appeal)

Penny? [ oh, wait. ] That arm you have? I didn't realize that was his. But that is... a lot.

[ she thinks this over, and then she decides to keep saying very concerning and stupid things. ]

A friend can pull things out of his dreams. Usually they're fine, but there have been times his nightmares have followed him out to the waking world.

That's what she told me, anyway. And she gets offended any time I say anything bad about him, even though he is a total idiot.

[ he says that with overt fondness though it's fine. ]

...Nightmares?! That's - what? How do you even deal with something like that?!

How does she speak to you? [ like does the arm have a mouth in her palm, what is happening here. that's not really the point though because she a.) notes the fondness and b.) frowns a little at the second question. ]

Kill them, usually. They're monsters, and they try to attack him. So we have to beat them to it.
