I can see how it would be really really awkward to tell someone you can pretty much read people's minds if you try hard enough. The sensation must be weird for both of them. It is a very useful ability when you really need it though. And I went "What?!" when I read it. Huge spoiler indeed.

[ninablues]

Victor uses this ability as little as humanly possible. And yep, this is pretty much Victor's biggest spoiler, though um, it does actually get worse. But that can come in later. XD It's also the reason he kind of acts ashamed of his mutations all of the time.

Daaaaaaaaaamn Victor. I could roll on your description for DAYS. DAYS YOU HEAR ME.

I totally felt the tenseness in this and the description of the power effects was aaaaaaaaaawesome.

BRB. Still shipping Victor/Robyn. Vicbyn! Robtor! OH TEE PEEEEEEEE~ 8D

[ninablues]

I ship them so much it's LUDICROUS. They may actually be my OTP even though I've never written a romantic scene for them WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME. My shippy names all come out so weird. Isdele and Adaac and Edity and Verward and Pimmins prove this. o_O

[adifferentdrum]

YOU HAVE AN ILLNESS AND IT MUST BE CURED.

WITH SMUT.

Oh Pimmins is particularly awesome. It sounds like a brightly colored kind of tribble. XD

A Sevon and Jack ship name is just silly. Sevck (how Scandinavian!), Javon (okay that has promise!) XDDDDD

[ninablues]

I like Javon! And Sevck could possibly be replaced with Seck...s.

JUST TO MIX IT UP A LITTLE.

In one of the RaTs Christmas games someone decided that Victor and Robyn must romance so I'll be working on that at some point. XD

Freaky talent. No wonder he doesn't want people to know about it. But it's useful.

[ninablues]

"Freaky" is a word that goes hand-in-hand with Victor... but I still love him. Thanks for reading!

[bookblather]

Ooh. Awkward. I love that Robyn is more "Holy crap this is a freaky feeling" and not "OMG GET AWAY FROM ME" but that's because she knows Victor, I think, and she's got this thin edge of "let's get out of here" pasted over sheer bloody panic. Excellent job.

Also, Victor, you're going to have to talk about this sometime...

[ninablues]

Yeah, Robyn does feel a little uncomfortable about it later on but they eventually are Healed Through Talking and bunnies, rainbows, etc. Plus they are just such good friends that I can't imagine Robyn treating Victor like a total freak. :) Thanks!

"let's not talk about it" - when Victor said that I laughed a little and then figured that was probably the best option. I mean, what could you possibly say? "Hey Victor, what does my brain feel like with your ghost hand?" XD

This was great! Your descriptions are so detailed without being overly wordy and your characters are so multi-dimensional. Awesome writing!

[ninablues]

Conversations don't get more awkward than that. XDD Victor is such a lovely little weirdo, definitely a favourite of mine. And thanks for the compliment! :D *beams*
