[017] Won't somebody think of the telepaths? ;A;

Jul 25, 2009 20:46

[audio // English]

[Lika's voice is acerbic.]

Do you think you might refrain from beating on each other in the future? When you do, I have to feel it, too.

[Then she switches to her usual, more cheerful tone.]

Hello, new arrivals! You seem to come in batches every seven days or so. D'you think there's anything to that?

I'm Lika!

walking straight into the fourth wall, telepathy is overrated, sora, kevas, b, russ

Hi! I guess I'm new. I'm Sora!

Whaddya mean "feel it too"?

[voice] yousoundblue July 26 2009, 06:37:04 UTC

Hello, Sora.

I'm a telepath.

[voice] reachforthe July 26 2009, 06:44:02 UTC

Oh wow! That's pretty cool! But, uh, apparently it gets annoying, huh?

[voice] yousoundblue July 26 2009, 06:51:16 UTC

It wasn't so bad until I arrived here and found myself surrounded by very violent people.

[voice] reachforthe July 26 2009, 06:54:36 UTC

I've never met anybody with that kind of ability before. ...You can't block it out or anything?

[voice] yousoundblue July 26 2009, 06:58:01 UTC

Amphetamines suppress it, but it's temporary and there are unpleasant side effects.

[voice] reachforthe July 26 2009, 07:04:46 UTC

Amfeta-- Um. That's no good... Nothing else works?

[voice] yousoundblue July 26 2009, 18:12:50 UTC

Being unconscious. But I don't see why I should have to inconvenience myself when they're the ones being inconsiderate.

[voice] reachforthe July 26 2009, 18:23:14 UTC

I dunno...people can't really help but, um. Think. And feel. I mean, I'm sorry that it hurts you and all, but I'm not sure there's anything we can do.

...Is there?

[voice] yousoundblue July 26 2009, 18:31:46 UTC

Oh, normal emotions are no problem. They're not loud enough to matter. But intentionally causing pain? Totally unnecessary.

[voice] reachforthe July 26 2009, 18:34:20 UTC

Oh. So...someone's doing it to you on purpose?

Re: [voice] yousoundblue July 26 2009, 18:37:51 UTC

What? No. They're hurting each other on purpose. I just have to overhear it.

First it was Herz--I remember what he sounds like because I felt him die before--and then it was Erol, I'm told. I've never met him in person, but I'll know him if I do, now.

[voice] reachforthe July 26 2009, 19:29:38 UTC

Oh.

OH! That thing with uh, what was it. Jak and Erol? You can HEAR that?

...Herz died? Then why--?

[voice] yousoundblue July 26 2009, 19:48:31 UTC

I hear emotions. Very strong emotions are like screaming.

Not this Herz. The Herz that was here before. They sound the same, though.

The other Herz died before, when the pirates were here. The crew brought him back, though.

[Lika sucks at explanations.]

Re: [voice] reachforthe July 26 2009, 22:15:39 UTC

...That sounds terrible.

Brought him back...? I don't understand... Are you saying death can be reversed here?

[voice] yousoundblue July 27 2009, 01:28:56 UTC

I assume they just do a neural write to a cloned body. The really interesting part is that the system is so efficient at the read process that there doesn't seem to be any lost time.

[Lika's voice is breezier than one would tend to think someone discussing this topic would be.]
