[This is the first time Elsa - the real Elsa, not someone from a flood - has thought to post publicly to the network in a long time. She's out and about more often now rather than hiding in her room almost exclusively, but it's still... hard. Everything about this has been hard, and she just wants it to stop.]

I've been doing a lot of thinking- [About a lot of things, but really one thing in particular.] About people with powers. People like me.

What's it like for them, in your world? If they exist.

[She's tempted to leave it at that, but.]

Most of the stories I've heard haven't been very reassuring.

[So the idea of life after the Barge is not really an exciting thing to consider.]

What can you do?

[Private]

[lydiascreams]

I can feel death. Before it happens. I get warnings and when I scream, my screams are really loud and they help me be able to focus on the warnings.

[Private]

[bothfoulandfair]

Is that why you screamed in the caves?

[Private]

[lydiascreams]

Yeah. Sometimes it gets so overwhelming, I have to scream to be able to focus.

[Private]

[bothfoulandfair]

I'm sorry. That must be difficult, especially here.

[There's a lot of death. :c]

[Private]

[lydiascreams]

It was bad when I first got here. It got better since.

What about you? I saw-- when I was Princess Lydia. I saw you. In her memories. She went to your kingdom once.

[Private]

[bothfoulandfair]

She did? When?

[Private]

[lydiascreams]

I think it was your coronation. She was little so the memories were fuzzy.

[Private]

[bothfoulandfair]

Oh.

[She really hasn't discussed the details with anyone. Only Dillon knows everything, and that's because of the file.]

What do you remember?

[Private]

[lydiascreams]

I remember it being summer, and then a lot of snow.

[Lydia pauses for a moment. Because she remembers some panic, too. But it's not clear what happened.]

I don't know, it's fuzzy, like I said.

[Private]

[bothfoulandfair]

I panicked and ran to the North Mountain. I wanted to stay there, where I couldn't hurt anyone else, but Prince Hans and some guards and soldiers were able to find me. I don't know what happened afterward.

[Private]

[lydiascreams]

I'm so sorry, Elsa. I wish there was something I could tell you from her memories but, there's nothing very specific about it.

[Except for the words 'eternal winter', but Lydia is fairly sure that won't actually help.]

[Private]

[bothfoulandfair]

It's fine. It's probably better I don't know.

[Private]

[lydiascreams]

From what I've seen, they are not very accepting of powers where you're from?

[Private]

[bothfoulandfair]

Not exactly.

Some of them called me a monster.

[Private]

[lydiascreams]

I'm sorry. But it's not surprising. I think the same would happen back home.

There is one other girl who can do what I can, and they locked her up in a mental hospital. They think she's crazy.

[Private]

[bothfoulandfair]

Is she still there?

[Private]

[lydiascreams]

As far as I know. Yeah.

I don't know if she has other issues that may not be related to her powers, but usually hearing voices is a good enough issue for them.

[Private]

[bothfoulandfair]

It probably would be in my world, too.

[Private]

[lydiascreams]

People just fear what they don't understand.
