[Magical powers not being all they're cracked up to be? Jonathan "I get blood and shadow magic but now also eat people" Reid would never know anything about that. Never.]
I'm sorry you're having such trouble with them. How precisely did you acquire them? If they're something genetic, that may be challenging to address.
[ june hesitates a little to reply at first, considering this is coming on the heels of getting doxxed, but he figures that since he's already told one person about it, it wouldn't hurt to tell another.
what's the man going to do? call on june's boss? she's not here to ruin his life.
future june can deal with it if gloriana ever makes it to the city. ]
it's something like a blood curse, is the closest analogue i can come up with. someone died for it to pass on to me.
i guess the logical course of action would be for me to die to get rid of it, but i like being alive.
Does the curse shift at random to another person after you? And how dead do you need to be? There are rather extraordinary systems here. We may be able to induce a temporary sort of death. Stopping the heart.
[ which would be a little creepy, but june is... interested about this, actually. huh. ]
i haven't tried dying, but... i think it passes on to whoever kills me.
[ this implies that june inherited karla's empathy and david's manifesting abilities, but they've yet to make an appearance in june's repertoire. and just as he realizes this, june wants even more to get rid of his powers.
he doesn't want these "gifts" at all. ]
i haven't tried dying yet. can you do it? bring me back from death, i mean. i want to try.
[He's very excited by the prospect, but it would be rude to say as much.]
I have an interest in scientific inquiry, sir. Nothing more. I would like a bit of time to look into the safest methods for such a procedure and ensure we have all of the necessary equipment, but yes. I believe I could do such a thing. And deal with these potential powers if they're passed onto me, I suppose.
