what's the most useful skill, ability, or power you have, and what does it do?
asking for bookmarking reasons. 💖

[ back home, he'd kept his own abilities under wraps, but considering the situation here encourages collaboration and cooperation, well.. this much is probably fine. ]

related: are there any useful items you have from home, or would like to receive from home?

just because i'm nosy: what about weird or useless items you've received?
i once received a story called one who showed contempt for a streamer for beating up a dokkaebi.
it never came in handy again, unfortunately. 😒

Who wants to know?

Isn't it common sense for you to answer your own questions first?

[ each one and in order preferably. ]

[legere]

i'm dokja. [ .... it's still a pun. ]

i already did, didn't i? except the item, but it's my coat.

[yuwon]

That's your real name?

[ doubt. ]

Not entirely. You didn't clarify what your most powerful ability was.
Your coat?

[legere]

does my username make sense knowing that it is?

i asked about most useful abilities! [ he has a lot of useful abilities, but bookmark is probably handiest to have in straightforward fights. ]
my coat has very big pockets. 👍

[yuwon]

[ scrolls back up. ]

So your name is Dokja, your username is reader. Your most useful skill is... [ even when scanning his text, he doesn't exactly see it. was it "bookmarking"? that just didn't sound right. paired with his very big pockets, his doubts only seem to increase rather than decrease. ]

Forget it.

[legere]

yep, i'm just a guy that likes to read.

[ and he could leave it there if he wanted. maybe it would be smarter to. but on the other hand, supposedly these people will need to trust him, and he'll need to trust them.

at the very least, he doesn't want anyone to die because he was being cagey. ]

but i can also bookmark people's abilities to use myself.

[yuwon]

You didn't have to tell me.

[ says yuwon after all that. but, that said, he does mean it. ] So you have an ability to copy skills? [ that really is interesting to know. perhaps, it works that they're working together rather against one another. there's a few minutes of delay before yuwon eventually begins typing again. ]

I don't know about useful, but one of my skills is Holy Fire.
I also received an item from home recently, but haven't been able to use it well yet.

[legere]

it's fine. circumstances are different here, and people should probably know.

it's usually one skill per person, the most useful or well-used, so i'm sure it's obvious why i asked what i asked. [ it's a good idea to know what he might be able to bookmark-- a healing ability, in a disaster, or an aoe attack, or an elemental ability.. you never know what might come in handy. ]

the kind an angel might use? [ familiar. he has something similar bookmarked, but he's not sure he could use it here. ]
for your item, are there conditions that need to be met first?

[yuwon]

[ people should probably know is a type of maturity and character growth he hasn't personally achieved yet. still, he is a bit fascinated to think people aren't as hung up about keeping their skills closer to them. he comprehends it's probably not needed in a place where their personal information was accessible to some degree, but habits were hard to kill. ]

So while people normally have multiple skills, you're only able to copy one. [ damn, depending how many this person encounters... ] So you must have a lot under your belt.

No, not exactly. I suppose it'd be closer to the opposite. [ heavenly demonic cult... what does it really make it. ]
There are no conditions as far as I know. It's only a fragment of the actual item's power, but it's proficiency will increase the more I use it. [ probably. ]

[legere]

usually, though there are exceptions.
i have a few, but there are some that stay at the top of my bookmarks. [ way of the wind and electrification come in handy quite a lot. others get rotated in and out as necessary. ]

oh? we might be pretty compatible in a fight, then. [ a demonic(ish?) skill might complement his own demonic traits, and vice versa. ]

mysterious. do you get a chance to use it much, then?

[yuwon]

Well, if you say that... aren't there exceptions to most things? [ is he just being contrary? maybe. but, it's true that there were limits to most abilities or skills. or specifics in activation. ]

Sorry, but I don't want to hear that I'm compatible with a stranger on the network. [ lol. he may mostly be kidding, but it's true that he still wasn't accustomed to working with others, even if it's... naturally ended up that way. ]

I've only utilized it once here, but I'm planning to work on it. Why, are you interested?

[legere]

i'm going to take a guess here and say you don't use dating apps at home, then. [ ....... lol. ]
anyway, if you tell me who you are, we're technically not strangers anymore, so...... [ what's the hold-up, buddy! your compatibility awaits! ]

i did say that i'm nosy!

[yuwon]

I didn't have time for it, nor was I interested. What, are you supposed to be an expert? [ why are they like this... ] My name isn't going to change anything. But, you can call me Kim Yuwon.

You are. [ that's one thing he can believe in. ]

[legere]

god, no, i was dirt-poor before. that's not exactly conducive to dating. [ plus he was extremely reserved, still very traumatized, and desperate to keep his head down and not be noticed, but we ain't talking about that. ]

haha at least i'm honest about it?
