Even if it did, at this point it'd be useless. You can't use blessings during performances, and there isn't much of a reason to use them outside of performances. Unless you've found some secret use for them that I can't think of? I'm all ears if so.

What do you mean you can't use them during performances? Yes we can. Not always, but I have, before.

--What?! I've only heard of performances where you can't use blessings, or where you get punished if you do use them.

Well, now you know.

[there's silence over the line for a few seconds, and then an absolutely indignant sigh]

If they can be used then why the hell don't I even have one...?!

Have you ever tried manifesting one?

When I was younger, sure. That was forever ago.

Well, try again.

Sure, why not. I've got time to practice since we can't even leave the cabin tonight. I'll tell you if I get anything good.

I'd volunteer some tips, but everything I have was born from poor coping mechanisms and therefore, probably not advisable.

I've seen the poor coping mechanism ones. I don't want any of that. All utilitarian would be preferable, actually.

It is possible to get something utilitarian out of those too. You just have to be creative in how you use them.

I have confident in my creativity. But, uh, less confidence that I'd actually get something useful out of whatever blessings decided to show up on the boat. My luck isn't that good. I'm focusing on something like...hmm, teleportation would be good, right?

Okay. For something like that, focus on your fears. It's probably better if they're tangible—something you can visualize.

They're not really tangible. At least not the ones I can think of. But, sure, I'm visualizing them.

Oh, right now? Okay. Then make sure they're very threatening, the kind of thing that you desperately want to get away from. They're approaching you, but you're trapped in a room without exit, and they keep coming closer.

...If they're that close wouldn't you just fight them?

Can you fight?

I can manage self defense well enough.

[no]

Whatever it is you're picturing is stronger and you will be easily overpowered.

And how do you know that? If you have that much information on what it is then you should have a reasonable idea of what its weaknesses are too. That's bound to give you a slight advantage if you know how to use it.

[he's so bad at this exercise sorry Shura]

It's a thought experiment, Eugene.

...

. . .

I'll think about it some more later.

... Fair. Get some rest now.

...Okay. You too. Don't overexert yourself.
