Very well. So: the ability to generate darkness, to a range of one foot in any or all directions; the ability to send messages through shadows; physical strength comparable to... let's just say mine; the ability to subsist without having to eat or drink; and the ability to traverse the Barge without discomfort due to lighting.
[Nokov can make his silence impressively sulky, but he hadn't really been expecting that one. At least he can walk the halls in his own personal cloud of darkness, which is far more appealing than the present state of affairs, though he's not sure if it's pleasant enough to go through actually talking to a warden again.]
[He almost says something about not needing anything, but if he does get some of his powers back, that will be far more true. Which puts talking to wardens into a different category.]

What do you do with the darkness you generate, then?
[voice, before the port]
Date: 2019-07-23 08:26 pm (UTC)What I really am, when the Admiral isn't trapping me in this form. I exist in it.
...I turn off lights?

Date: 2019-07-23 08:31 pm (UTC)About one foot?
[voice, before the port]
Date: 2019-07-23 08:33 pm (UTC)...Fine.

Is there anything else?

Being able to travel through shadows?
[voice, before the port]
Date: 2019-07-23 08:51 pm (UTC)Though I do think you should practice self-advocacy with your next warden, and perhaps they'll disagree with me on that one.
[voice, before the port]
Date: 2019-07-23 08:55 pm (UTC)Perhaps, if I get one.
[voice, before the port]
Date: 2019-07-23 09:07 pm (UTC)Hopefully they'll be less inattentive than my predecessors were, but if not, you're well within your rights to reach out to them.

Perhaps I will.
[voice, before the port]
Date: 2019-07-23 09:13 pm (UTC)I hope you do. I'll let you know what the Admiral says, although I suppose you'll find out soon enough, as well.

Date: 2019-07-23 09:15 pm (UTC)[Now he just has to go start working on even more extensive revenge plans in case the Admiral doesn't agree.]
