04. sixty foot leaps, it's so absurd but i'm floating.

May 13, 2010 14:11

[ ACTION ]

[ guess what your favorite Psychonaut has got back? SHE'S GOTTEN BACK HER LEVITATION. She's now happily floating down the street on a pink-orange ball of psychic energy with odd psychic spikes protruding out of it. No, she doesn't seem to be aware that she's hovering about three feet above the ground. She's just...sitting. And humming a ( Read more... )

[Guess what favorite Psychonaut character, have the one dude that hasn't quite resigned himself to the fact that not all people with 'talents' are out to kill him, or cause chaos, or abduct his best friends sister]

.....! Holy shit! What the hell is that?!

hartmanhips May 13 2010, 07:46:14 UTC

[la la la la. Floating OBLIVIOUSLY~~ and is waving at him as she floats by him.]

Hello darling!

weiss_tank May 13 2010, 07:48:22 UTC

What the hell is that! [He's still pointing, trying to figure out exactly when its going to lash out and attack him]

I knew it!

hartmanhips May 13 2010, 07:50:06 UTC

[have her stop, and stare at him in what most honestly be the most confused look ever.]

What? Darling, it's just a levitation ball, it's not going to bite you!

weiss_tank May 13 2010, 07:56:26 UTC

[Looking at her with even more confusion, and a bit of anger/fear]

Just a levitation ball?! It has SPIKES!

hartmanhips May 13 2010, 07:59:03 UTC

[stares weirdly at him, before bursting out into laughter]

Oh, darling! The basic form doesn't have spikes! You have to train to get them! Razputin's doesn't have spikes! It's only for defense, or when you want to make a quick getaway! Not when you're going to fight someone. That you use Psi-Blasts for. It won't hurt the person sitting on it!

weiss_tank May 13 2010, 08:09:07 UTC

Seriously! Do you not understand what I am trying to say! [He's frustrated now, he doesn't understand either in all fairness though, he doesn't understand that this is normal in her world, unlike in his]

hartmanhips May 13 2010, 08:31:53 UTC

[she blinks, and then dispels the levitation ball.]

You're scared of the levitation ball? Darling! Levitation, next to clairvoyance? It's one of the most passive skills you can get!

weiss_tank May 13 2010, 08:35:54 UTC

Last time I got Levitated the kid deliberately slammed me into a wall! And blew up a couple of buildings!

hartmanhips May 13 2010, 08:38:43 UTC

[kind of irritated now, folds her arms over her chest.]
That's telekinesis. Look! It won't hurt you! I won't hurt you! Let me show you! [summons the levitation ball and just...stands on it.]

Levitation lifts yourself, not other people! And I'm sorry, if you were hurt before by people like that - but that's not me, that's not the Psychonauts! And they should have been put down by the Psychonauts already, I can't believe they were so incompetent as to let them get away with that...

weiss_tank May 13 2010, 08:41:44 UTC

There ARE no Psyconauts back home! Well...[he pauses] not that I've heard off...but this place, I've heard talk it pulls people from different 'realities' shit, I dunno.

hartmanhips May 13 2010, 08:50:08 UTC

That's not possible! Psychonauts are a world wide organi- [her eyes grew wide as the reality of that comment sinks in. If they pull from different realities - that kind of power, to pull from different realities...that would explain Netherlands. And Denmark. And Belgium. Those people she met with country names, though she never quite understood what they were trying to say. And -- oh god. And she sounds completely serious as she looks Ken in the eye.]

What was your life like? Why didn't they have any Psychonauts?

weiss_tank May 13 2010, 08:53:16 UTC

Eh? My life? [He's taken off guard, which thankfully distracts him from being angry] My life's fine...I guess.

I work in a flower shop.

hartmanhips May 13 2010, 08:57:06 UTC

Back home. [Unfortunately, Milla IS on the road to angry - more confused!angry, but still angry anyways.] What was it like? Because darling, you just told me you got thrown into a building with Psychic power. That's the sort of thing that the Psychonauts spend time training out and hunting down. [there's a sharp, quick edge to her voice. It was so hard forgiving Mory, after he put an ENTIRE camp of children in danger, and if there was somebody with such FLAGRANT abuse of powers...

Then there was going to be a reckoning.

And hopefully, between her and whichever poor asshole thought it fit or funny to use powers that way.]

weiss_tank May 13 2010, 08:59:43 UTC

Well, there's this group, they want to take over the world, and they kidnapped a friend of mine's little sister to get what they wanted.

[shit, how to talk about this with out getting stupid, or telling too much about his 'night job']

Their best fighters, a group of four, I've ...had run ins with them. [makes a face, unwillingly remembering Nagi back at the church...that stupid poor kid..., no don't think about that part]

hartmanhips May 13 2010, 09:07:04 UTC

[there's a sharp intake of breath, and a grinding of teeth.] Santo Cristo -- [there's going to be a reckoning. It will be a big reckoning. Some poor motherfucker is going home with his head on a pike, especially since he said the keywords 'little sister' and 'kidnapped'.]

Then that's a different reality because in my reality, that HASN'T happened, that will NEVER happen while the Psychonauts are around. [that steely edge? That slightly murderous glint? Oh yeah, they've all surfaced in Milla.] Because nobody abuses powers so flagrantly, and child kidnapping - well, let's just say we have our own term for those.
