[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.]

Do you know why you're the only one?

[patheticvillain]

I . . . have no idea. There's just always only been one transformation worker. Like a story, you know? The mythical whatever.

[bothfoulandfair]

Was it difficult, being the only one?

I'm sorry. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to.

[patheticvillain]

No, it's cool. It was really difficult. It was kind of insane, actually. Everybody wanted to use me for something.

[bothfoulandfair]

Could you stop them?

[patheticvillain]

I probably could have. But I didn't really go about it that smart.

Talking to you just makes me think, if I'd told everybody about it - I mean everybody, everyone in the whole world - maybe it would've been less of a big deal. I mean, it would still have been dangerous, yeah, but at least it would have been out there. No more secrets.

[bothfoulandfair]

That didn't work out so well for me.

[patheticvillain]

Did you have control, though, when you told everybody? Did it happen on your terms?

[bothfoulandfair]

No. Not at all.

[patheticvillain]

Then maybe that's what you need. Disclosure on your own terms.

[bothfoulandfair]

I can't exactly make everyone forget so I can tell them on my own.
