I want to find out if superpowers are in this timeline and secret. If superpowers are not secret in this timeline then I can [a thing like telling and showing but more] some superpowers to you and people. If I do that, and more time more time more superpowers more time, I could could go home.

In my timeline I know how to say things to people who could have superpowers. In this timeline I don't know what things to say. The things could be different.

Anda responds to the two paragraphs separately, this time.

[a thing like telling and showing but more] is maybe demonstrate? Or teach?

(Potentially teachable superpowers? Silent probabilistic squeeing!)

Things to say like persuasive arguments or like secret code phrases or like reassurances about known potential problems or like a different thing?

teach!
(Rosy also seems pretty happy about the prospect of teaching superpowers.)
more like secret code phrases

I would really love to learn to have superpowers if that turns out to be allowed! So would lots of people. Unfortunately I don't know how to find secret magic people if they do exist. Maybe you could do something that might be magic and might be special effects and put a video online claiming it's special effects and see if anyone messages you? Or is that not allowed if magic is secret?

In my timeline I would know the persuasive arguments and reassurances to do that and be okay. In this timeline I don't know those.

Okay. Maybe the best option is for you to get more oriented to this timeline and see if you can deduce where the powered people would be hiding if there were any. Am I understanding correctly that if superpowers secretly exist here, it would be disallowed for you to teach it, but if you're the only person who has them you can do whatever you want?

In my timeline, teaching superpowers is disallowed because it is secret. If I'm the only person with superpowers in this timeline I can do whatever I want and I want to teach superpowers.

I want to get more oriented to this timeline!

Let's move to the big computer; it's harder to switch who's typing back and forth but it has a better interface for language practice software and reading the encyclopedia. We can keep using the handcomp for conversation if you have questions while you read.

Big computer! Perhaps more relevantly, the monitor is also quite large. Anda pulls up a vocabulary-learning program and sets it to include a broad range of word difficulty levels and to use both text and picture definitions, then opens an encyclopedia website on the other half of the screen and goes to the article on the city-state of Bridgecity, which Rosy can tell from the map in the infobox is their current location.

Rosy pays some attention to the encyclopedia, but her main focus is on voraciously devouring that vocabulary program. Yes please give her ALL the words.
