Is there anyone who is not affected by this event?

[Sometimes a few people are skipped, at least from what he's seen, but so far he's heard of no one but those already without powers to lose being unaffected.]

I'm tapped out.

[wingsandwill]

[Have a headtilt, Rin.]

'Tapped out'?

[He thinks he knows what the phrase means, but he's not totally sure.]

[video]

[callinblueskies]

I'm back to-normal? not that I ever was, y'know like, out of the fight. Like in wrestling.

[ And Rin barely keeps track of what meanings apply to idioms. This could be interesting. ]

[video]

[wingsandwill]

[Um. That doesn't help much but okay he thinks he understands.]

So you were affected, then.

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

I wish I could say yes, but...

[Video]

[wingsandwill]

You are affected as well, then. How are you faring?

[Oh, hey, Negi. Cas finds you decent enough to actually bother to ask.]

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

[D'aww, he's touched.]

Fairly well, considering losing my magic leaves me feeling a bit empty. But I've sealed my magic before, so I suppose I'm used to not having it...

[wingsandwill]

I have been mortal before, but it makes it no less unpleasant.

[video]

[swordsinside]

Not that I know of.

[video]

[wingsandwill]

[Shura, you are also in the 'bother to ask category'. Though he doesn't actually know if she has any superpowers.]

Were you affected?

[video]

[swordsinside]

Yeah, my seals ain't working.

[video]

[wingsandwill]

Your seals?

[genkireaper]

Everyone I've met who have powers seem to be affected. It seems that there was a level determined, and the animus were very thorough in nullifying those above it. It's actually a little scary.

[wingsandwill]

This is your first event, correct? Though troubling, this particular one isn't exceptionally malevolent, at least.

It's definitely not the worst that could've been done. I'm used to taking care of myself in physical form, so there hasn't been any trouble with that. Sensing energy and similar things just seemed like one of the first senses I've had, so with it gone...

Voids really can be scary.

[Video]

[wingsandwill]

I understand it must be disconcerting. My ability to sense has remained, and the idea of losing it with everything else is unpleasant.

Not sure if these are up and running again yet, but... figure it's worth trying.

I'm not affected. My materia's shot, which doesn't make much sense that it's not working but the electricity's still on. But that ain't part of me. It's just a tool.

[Video|Private]

[wingsandwill]

The filters have returned, yes.

Materia?

Are you able to use your own abilities, if you have some, otherwise?

[Video|Private]

[offdutyturk]

Materia. It's a technological tool back from my home. So far as I've seen, ain't no other worlds have it, which might be why it's being affected.

Me, though? Nah. I'm fit as ever, though I ain't got no super human strength or augmented self-healing or anything like that. Can't fly, can't do any sort of funny magic shit. Whatever. Haven't tried wasting any bullets yet to make sure my aim's still good, but I don't think it's affected.

From everything I've seen mentioned on the feeds, plain old human is the baseline for what's going on. That means your angel boys and vampires and shinigami and Soldiers are just like the rest of us sorry saps. You ain't gonna see me advertise that, though. Last thing I want is to be noticed so I end up on someone's long list of research for test subjects or some shit.

What is it used for?

It does seem that 'human' is the level most have been reduced to. However you likely have little concern about anyone being interested in harming you for it; those here that are dangerous have little particular interest in humans.
