Week Two!
We're at week two already, yay. :D
And for this week's prompt, we have the Twenty-Two Senses. Clicking on that will take you to a nifty site that explains it in more detail, but I'll give a basic run down here.
We're all aware of the physical senses - smell, touch, taste, hearing, sight - but what about the senses that let us judge characters or wake up before our alarm or sense vibe's from people? According to that nifty website, they exist. :D
And they can make for a fun prompt. There are 22 listed senses beneath the cut. Your job? Write as many fics using the senses as you wish. Include them anyway you see fit - from newspaper clippings about "psychic abilities" to someone mentioning character differences between people. Make characters superhuman, superheroes, or supervillians; make someone psychic. Do whatever you want. Just remember - write.
1. PSYCHIC VIBE-SENSING;; Receptors in the nose sensing systems that "smell" emotions, and that can identify motives, sexual receptivity, antagonism, benevolence, etc.
2. FORMATS OF ESP;; Receptors in the ear sensing systems that detect and identify differences in pressure and electromagnetic frequencies.
3. MIXED ESP/CLAIRVOYANCE;; Skin receptors that detect balance and imbalance regarding what is external to the bio-body, even external at some astonishing distances.
4. SUBLIMINAL ESP;; Skin receptors that detect motion outside of the body, even when the body is asleep.
5. DOWSING MIXED WITH ESP/INTUITION;; Directional finding and locating receptors in the endocrine and neuropeptide systems
6. PSYCHIC AKHIDO;; Whole-body receptors, including hair, that identify fluidic motions of horizontal, vertical, diagonal, even if not visually perceived.
7. PSI READING;; Skin receptors that "recognize" the temperament of other biological organisms.
8. SHAMAN PERCEIVING;; Subliminal sensory systems which locate and identify pitch of sound, a sense of heat across great distances, a sense of frequencies and waves, either mechanical or energetic.
9. MICRO-PSI;; Receptors that identify positive and negative charged particles at the atomic level. (Rare).
10. FORMS OF ESP;; Microsystem transducing of various forms of mechanical, chemical, and electromagnetic energy into meaningful nerve impulses
11. PSYCHIC DOWSING;; Receptors that sense gravitational change.
12. TELEPATHY;; Neurological senses for interpreting modulated electronic information by converting it into analog signals for mental storage, interpretation, and cognition.
13. CLAIRVOYANCE;; Bio-electronic receptors for sensing radiation, including X-rays, cosmic rays, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet light, all of these receptors being found in the retina of the eye
14. CLAIRVOYANCE/AURA READING;; Receptors that respond to exterior electrical fields and systems.
Today, the following highly specialized sensing systems are referred to in the new sciences as HUMAN SEMAPHORE CAPACITIES.
15. INTUITION;; Skin receptors for sensing perceptions of bonding or antagonism.
16. TELEPATHY/VIBE-SENSING;; Senses for non-verbal "language" communicating.
17. INTUITIONAL CHARACTER ASSESSMENT;; Combined sensing systems (neural networks) for making meaning out of at least 130 identified nonverbal physical gestures and twenty basic kinds of nonverbal messages.
18. PSYCHIC FORESIGHT, FORESEEING, INTUITION;; Receptors that trigger alarm and apprehension before their sources are directly perceived.
19. INTUITION, TELEPATHY or CLAIRVOYANCE;; Sensing systems for registering and identifying nonverbal emotional waves.
The following are now known to be associated with the PINEAL GLAND if it is healthy and in good working order.
20. PSYCHIC FORECASTING or FUTURE SEEING;; Senses and memory-stores cycles of light and darkness, anticipating them with accuracy as the daily motions of the sun and moon change.
21. PREDICTIVE ESP;; Senses and responds to solar and lunar rhythms, solar disruptions (flares, sunspots) and moon-caused tidal changes (water or geophysical ones), and can sense "coming" earthquakes and storms (a form especially noted in sailors, farmers, but also in cows, dogs, cats, and snakes.)
22. X-RAY VISION;; If the pineal gland is fully functional, it acts as a nonvisual photo-receptor (the psychic equivalent being "x-ray vision.")
And this week, the winner will be decided by the single longest ficlet written. So go write!
