018: Take Cover! (backdated to earlier today)

[ra_ra_razputin]

[Raz is a busy bee today. If you happen by 339 Brady Lane today, you might see him in the middle of what appears to be an ambitious project that involves tearing apart the house's nice, whitewashed picket fence and nailing the planks to all of the windows and the back door. Fortunately, his telekinesis makes the job a little easier, but it's

pffft i am sick and must go to bed, sorry D:

[techno_mancer]

[Not!dad watches you from a window for a few moments, then comes out onto the porch to do so. He looks impressed. He waits for a good moment though, as he doesn't want to distract you:]

You're a psychic. Nice!

That is totally ok :D

[ra_ra_razputin]

You can tell?

[techno_mancer]

So I'm right? Trust me, I've seen stuff like that back home. Granted, it's super-duper rare, so either we come from different places or you're one lucky kid!

[Not to mention, psychics where he comes from are also super-duper powerful.]

[ra_ra_razputin]

Super duper rare? Not where I come from. It is kinda rare for people to be as good at it as I am, though!

[insectoidalien]

[Tak picks up a fallen plank and blinks at it, then stares at Raz confusedly. Minion, what the heck are you doing?]

[ra_ra_razputin]

Hey, hand that up here, will ya?

[insectoidalien]

[She's too confused to say no.]

Uh... ok. [She grabs an armful of planks and uses her Pak's legs to climb up to where Raz is.].

[ra_ra_razputin]

Thanks! [And he grabs it and starts attaching it to the wall. Raz is a riveting conversationalist today.]

[mothersandsuns]

[Well, Ammy doesn't exactly want to pester. But she can't just let a kid do all that by himself, especially when he's getting hurt in the process. Plus, he seems to have some sort of Celestial Brush-like power, and that's encouraging--it means maybe she can get hers back.

So she trots over, peers up at Raz, and barks curiously. Anything she can do to help?]

[ra_ra_razputin]

[Raz jumps at the sound and whips around, half expecting to get a face full of Hazmat axe. Instead he finds a puppy!]

WHOA-oh. Uh, hey boy.

[sting_like_a]

[Miakis walks by during a patrol of the neighborhood, and she pauses to watch with interest. Both the kid and the telekinesis look familiar. Watching him hurt himself and ignore his bruises eventually becomes too much for her, though, and she approaches carefully, as not to startle him.]

Hey, kiddo! Need any help~?

[ra_ra_razputin]

[Blinks and looks down]

H-huh? Oh, hey. Uhh, could you hand me one of those planks over there?

[sting_like_a]

[Miakis grabs some of the planks and tries to hold them out to hand to him, but she's just a liiiiittle too short to reach Raz on the roof. She tries not to pout about this and is... mostly successful.]

So, uh, what are you doing?

[ra_ra_razputin]

[Fortunately, Raz's telekinetic hand can reach them just fine, and plucks them out of her hand.]

Thanks. I'm fortifying my house against those things. [nervously looks around.]
