I'm not quite in the mood to play twenty questions, milady.

[Private to Loki]

[trytryagain]

I am human.

This is going off in a text message.

[badnewsboy]

What brought you to such a conclusion?

[text message]

[trytryagain]

I am neither dead nor in possession of my abilities.

[callbacks]

fuck it happened to you too??
wheres aradia
is it just us i guess i should ask john and rose if their shits gone too

[trytryagain]

If it's widespread, it is likely to be temporary.

[callbacks]

yeah im starting to get a feel for these bullshit weekends
though uh in that case i should ask someone to take care of my cat for a little while probably

[trytryagain]

I could do that. Maybe it will like me better, now.

Are you working simultaneous shifts all weekend?

[text message]

[badnewsboy]

Then that means

[text message]

[badnewsboy]

Oh Hel.

[badnewsboy]

Yet it does not bode well, no matter how temporary it is.

[text message]

[trytryagain]

You, too?

[trytryagain]

It will be harder for people to cause trouble.

[badnewsboy]

Go over the nuances of these implications once more.

[text message]

[badnewsboy]

If someone wished to take away my abilities I would be a bumbling mess. My powers lie in being clever, not on anything direct enough to be taken away from me.

The implications of this are troubling.

[trytryagain]

If no-one has abilities, they will be upset. They will not be able to do as much damage.

If only certain people lost abilities, others might cause problems.

I am still armed.

[text message]

[trytryagain]

Maybe I do not understand.

[badnewsboy]

The Avengers are gone, save for one. All released from this island. My brother included.

[badnewsboy]

If you were a nefarious island, what would you do to trouble your occupants?

[badnewsboy]

Perhaps take away their abilities to protect themselves.

[callbacks]

no
shit i should tell the onceler im not going to be able to work
fuck
maybe i can get someone with a car to cover for me
but yeah if you can just make sure catthew has some food she should be ok

[trytryagain]

What is the problem?

[text message]

[badnewsboy]

It will be apparent soon. I assume your trigger finger still works?

[Private]

[trytryagain]

...

I will need your help collecting more ammunition.

[text message]

[trytryagain]

Yes.
