[Oh, right. Lance usually talks to new arrivals after it's been a few days, and so they've gotten the basics already; he often fills in some missing details, but usually doesn't have to explain the powers thing to begin with.]

Sorry, I forgot you wouldn't already know. Okay, so each of us has a power. Supposedly, Henries destroyed a god and it broke into pieces, and we've each ended up with a piece of it in us.

[He scrunches his nose slightly as he says this, because he's so not a fan of any part of it, and saying it just makes it sound even worse.]

Because of that, we each have a power that relates to our personalities in some way. Using it causes us to glow blue from our chests; I can show you, if you want, my power isn't dangerous or anything.

[But some people don't react well to the whole powers nonsense, so he thinks asking first is probably best. He'll also wait for that response before he gets into the other weird things like the empathy bond.]
