[ Those more inclined to notice might realize that Wynonna's been... scarce in town the last couple of days, leading up to everyone's Ultimates starting to wear off. If she does make any kind of appearance, it's brief, and she's careful to keep her arms covered — which seems like a weird choice, considering what the weather's been likely lately.
But by the time the storm rolls around heading into the first of the month, something about it has officially put her in hunker down mode — and that's even before the power goes out across the entire town.
Which is why it looks a little weird when Wynonna starts broadcasting across the network, slightly out-of-breath, her features lit by a blue glow with the rest of the farmhouse in the dark. ]
... shit. Okay, so, this is for all you special ability-havers out there, or something. Say, hypothetically, that you might have had someone else's powers wind up inside you. Not that there was any weird penetration or anything like that, they just... appeared. And now you're basically a walking glowstick, and you may or may not have accidentally melted a couple of things, and also you sort of shot a lightning bolt inside the house?
[ She forces a smile before a sigh briefly slips out, and the angle on the Fluid tilts sideways to reveal some familiar-looking tattoos on her arm — the source of that glowing.
When Wynonna's face appears on-screen again, there's a noted tension in her jaw before she finally grits out the rest. ]
The first person who tells me I just need to find my inner zen is getting a big blue fist up their... unmentionables. [ She's pretty sure she doesn't have the power to do that, but it makes for a convincing threat, right? ] Other suggestions would be peachy.

Holy shit. Are you okay?
[Skye has a feeling she already knows the answer, but she’s asking anyway.]

[ wynonna's voice sounds as tired as it is over this shit. ]
I'm assuming you didn't mean for that to be a loaded question, but under the circumstances... the state of me is debatable.

Did you simply wake up with those powers?

It's a little more complicated than that.

Have you tried talking to Amara? Those kind of look like hers.
Baring that we could try going out and do some sparring and training?
There’s a bunch of philosophy and junk about how powers work where I’m from, but I’m more of a go and try it type. It works way better for me than thinking things through.
video;
in lieu of letting on how hard it's affecting her, though, she forces a smile. ]
Yeah. Yeah, you're right, I should... I should try that.
[ even though she has a sinking feeling what will happen if she tries to ping the other woman on her device. ]
What, "fear is the path to the dark side," blah blah blah? Something like that?

How did you... get those powers?
[ gonna start off easy first. ]

because something in wynonna's expression goes distant, reflective, like all it's taken are the last few replies on this thing to have her remembering what she'd been blocking out up until now. ]
I... I think I hurt someone. I think I might've — I don't know. I wasn't me, not really. I never would've...

Do you know someone called Amara? [No smiles, no jokes, he ain't playin' today.] Just checking, 'cause she explained to me how here powers work- specifically she explained to me what happens to her powers when she dies. Which, you know, I can put two and two together to make four here- but just wondering how it got to be you, is all.
video;
[ which is probably the shortest answer wynonna has ever given in her entire life, but something about the vibes she's getting from this message in particular immediately has her on her guard — like there's an answer being demanded here that she isn't prepared to give.
so sorry, kid, you get defensive mode. because she's already internally beating herself up enough over what happened. anything else and you're welcome to stand in line. ]
Something tells me this doesn't come with an immediate refund option. [ the tense line of her jaw is enough of a signal of how much this has been keeping her up, to say nothing of the way the shadows highlight the dark circles under her eyes. ] I didn't take them from her.

Until she sees those tattoos, that is. She'd recognize those everywhere. It feels like it makes her heart stop for a few moments. Maybe under some other circumstances she may at least have given some helpful answer, but right now she's much too panicked to do so. ]
When did you get those powers?
video;
[ she's vague on purpose, mostly because she isn't feeling up to rehashing this story by now — sorry, ange. apparently this one underestimated how quickly folks might put two and two together. ]

Whhhhhhy do you have Amara's tattoos?

[ even crueler knowing that it had been something she would've had more control over if she'd been feeling like herself, but apparently the last couple of weeks have been add-insult-to-dumbass-move for wynonna lately. ]
Apparently that's what happens when she... well. When she — [ she's definitely having trouble saying it. ]

Where is Amara?
[But that's not very helpful to Wynonna, so he'll try to get a bit more information. Sort this very weird post out.]
You...do not recall having those done? The tattoos?

No. One second they weren't and then... they were.

voice.
Why do you have those?
[The response is grim. Quiet. He's been told enough about the tattoos, and so... if he sounds anxious and concerned, there's good reason to be. Because Amara is almost assuredly dead — and the only thing he can thank Deerington for is at least not keeping them dead, but god, is it not enough to lose so many people already? All the time?]

[ because that isn't the peter voice that she's more familiar with; he's too serious for that. ]
So you know where she is. Or... I guess where she's gonna be coming back to, eventually.

...I would say, since contacting the original bearer is probably going to be hard for a week or so, that you could try finding someone to help suppress the power.
[She's assuming Amara is dead...]

[ now we're talking. see? this is the kind of helpful advice she can work with. ]
