badfic-mods.livejournal.comThis week, those who didn't opt in get to go about their business in the Manor! Everything is normal for them.
Them specifically. Unfortunately there's still some chaos to deal with...
Because for a chunk of the population, people will wake up with something...different. Some normal ability, talent, or power, or set of such, just ... isn't there. Completely gone. You know you had it! But things that're knowledge-focused just seem to be fuzzy; you remember learning it, but if it's part of what's been passed on, you just can't specifically remember it; the musicians who lost that skill won't be able to read sheet music despite knowing they should be able to.
Instead, you'll be waking up with something different - some new ability or talent, maybe even a sharp change. It might take a bit to figure it out, but more active powers might trigger on their own if they're not obvious just to let you know they're there. The good news is, once you realize what it is, it's not learning from the ground up; you get the Matrix-esque "I know Kung-Fu", but it might be a bit awkward to put into practice and get the fine control or figure out the limits and details. Maybe it comes with weaknesses, maybe it comes with some kind of physical alteration, but you have a new trick to replace whatever's missing.
The list of who gets what is here; the basic descriptions are in the comments here, and you can poke the comments there, look up people's apps, and contact the other MUN's if there's questions about the abilities you're getting beyond what's explained in the comments!
As for the weather, there's a nice layer of snow on the ground; it's partly cloudy, and there's occasional bits of small flurries, but no big storms.
