...well, I suppose if one were to discover those talents later, they could alter their work. Transfer to the Words of Halmarut, mayhap, if they found an unexpected inclination toward plantlife. But I cannot imagine many truly not knowing how to apply themselves.
idk bass and i play games together sometimes and ive gotten a lot better with using my color i read sometimes? and marcelines teaching me to play the guitar and thats been pretty ok
[they just...are kind of going along in this life.]
[...but young enough to still be called that, by some of the more ancient of them.]
I'd be inclined to think that you are young, however, and simply have yet to come across whatever it is you would be suited to. One does not always find it immediately.
I do not think it possible to truly be suited for nothing. I know one who considers himself untalented, yet he is gifted with the keenest aetheric sight among us.
[a faint little hint of a smile, there, do not @ him over it.
he's probably sitting on the couch at this point, closer to riff. he may be resistant to touch but he is not immune.]
And if one is multitalented... well. They may find a narrow area they wish to pursue and simply do the rest when they've the time, or they may find a purpose which requires the use of many skills.
But as far as the sight goes-- 'tis the ability to perceive the aether of the world, the flow of magic throughout it, and all which is composed of that aether. Creatures, other beings, souls. Those with particularly keen sight may perceive the colors of souls as well, and distinguish their individual hue.
[they seem to sort of, like, wilt. their shadows grow slightly darker and their form becomes a little less visible but they settle in their computer chair again to listen.]
the ability to see life basically what do u mean by the colors of souls? like how the prism read u guys?
[he does notice the way they wilt, there, but-- what else was he meant to say? it is the way of things.
he moves on, then.]
Life and magic, both. I suppose it is... something akin to the prism's readings, yes, though clearly it works on a quite different system. I know my soul to be purple, but I would not suit heliotrope.
[let them wilt, it has less to do with what emet's saying and more to do with not knowing what to say themselves. this, however, seems like a topic they can focus on.]
and what exactly does it mean to have a purple soul?
I do not know that the color of a soul has such meaning. It is simply-- something inherent to an individual, but I've never noted particular categories, really.
There may be some similarities, and mayhap I am often unsurprised that one's color seems to suit them, but I cannot say I often pay it so much mind.
a drastic change maybe? lifealtering events? people can change for all sorts of reasons i think even if they dont say so maybe souls are set the way they are but...maybe not always either

[this seems more frustrating for them than it may be for emet to have to actually hear this, at least.
but something's caught their attention.]
what is that?
aetheric sight

or a blood type
or something like that
ur just born that way and its how things are
can a soul change color?
[they aren't great at talking about themselves but they can fire off a lot of questions about emet and his world, sure.]
