[This was unfamiliar technology to Lin, so before she tried making a post, she read the manual from start to finish. This "smartphone" was MUCH more complicated than the ham radio in the interceptor, but she eventually figured it out.]

Hi, I'm Bai Lin. I have a question. I've got that most of us are from different worlds. It's weird, but any time I talk to someone it becomes more and more obvious.

But I'm noticing a trend from talking to you all.

How many people here DON'T come from places where a nuclear war destroyed most of the world's population before you were born?

There are still a few places no one goes to, because of the radiation. If you get too close you can get very sick and even die.

I just hope there are none left. The world doesn't need weapons like that.

[have_hat_will_travel]

As if the very earth were poisoned... Holy terrains can be like that for me in extremely blessed places.

And, yeah. That's. Definitely something to hope.

[fistsofchange]

Why would holy ground give you radiation sickness?

Are you evil?

[have_hat_will_travel]

It's complicated, but it's more about my kind than my own morality, lack thereof, or confusion about.

I'm a demon, so, yeah, sufficiently holy ground isn't good for me normally. I'm not gonna, like, catch fire stepping into a random church, but...

[fistsofchange]

Good enough for me!

[She MIGHT keep a bit of an eye on Pidonus for a while, just in case. But she won't be a dick about the demon thing at least.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

If you want details of what my abilities are so you can watch out for them, that's an option. I'm trying to stick to the straight and narrow until I get home... If only so I don't piss off people who can possibly kill me.

[fistsofchange]

As long as you're honestly trying your best to be a better person, I don't think you're going to fail.

What CAN you do, though?

[have_hat_will_travel]

As a demoness of desire, my specialty is influencing people. Besides just being good at talking people into stuff, I can literally 'charm' someone into believing I'm a friend against their natural proclivities, and 'suggest' things that they will do if it sounds reasonable enough. In less obviously-nasty powers, personal teleportation and hiding in the Ethereal Plane.

I'm also a Bard, meaning magic musics that can enhance my allies' fighting and some arcane spellcasting including basic healing, and an Avowed, which basically turns the inherent energies from my nature into extra modes of attack and some various extra magic-esque abilities.

[fistsofchange]

That's pretty complicated. I just hit things real hard.

[Which was a VAST oversimplification of a thousand year old martial art that gave its practicioners some frankly absurd abilities.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

Lemme put it this way. I sing the right way, you're now hitting things real hard - with electrified fists.

So, yeah, I bring useful skills besides the nasty stuff.

[fistsofchange]

I can already do lightning fists, actually, but I get your point.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Oh? Dare I ask what Feat combo sets that one up? For future reference.

[fistsofchange]

It's...years of study of chi manipulation? That's a pretty impressive feat.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Well, yes, that's... Oh, I went into the weird thing with my world again.

Never mind.
