[GUESS WHO'S BEING AWKWARD OVER THE NETWORK AGAIN, DINGDING YOU ARE CORRECT. Johnny hates asking for help. Hates it. But he's at a loss here.]

So, uh. I need someone's help with somethin'. I don't expect anyone to volunteer for this. I mean, I sure as hell wouldn't but I dunno how else to do this shit. Maybe, like, I can get a volunteer and someone else can play ref...

Anyway. Um. So this place let me keep the power I used to have, except they made it suck less. Thing is, I still don't know how to use it too well, an' it ain't like a physical weapon I can just go and train with. Basically I... talk people into doin' stuff. All I gotta do is look at 'em and talk to 'em, and they'll pretty much do whatever I say. Least, that's how it used to go. I dunno how strong it is, what people will or won't do, things like that. And I kinda wanna know, in case I ever, ya know, need to use it against the "bad guys", I guess.

...

Now ya know why no one's gonna volunteer. But if anyone's got any suggestions, lemme know?

[ shiiiiiiiiiit this is giving her strange deja vu.



Except the time before this, it was the mind controller telling her to shoot the mind controlled if they made any violent moves. that's similar, right??? UUHHHHhhhh ]

I-- I can do so if the situation comes to it, yes. However, I will not kill him. That won't be in anyone's best interests. [ softly: ] I don't think he has any malicious intentions by announcing himself this way.

Merely what it takes to make him stop.

I believe similarly, and that there will be no need for such a course of action. I merely wish to be prepared for it.

I understand, and I will follow through on your term if and when it arises.

Just tell me the time and place you and the young man are planning to test this and I will most certainly be there.

[boughtabookstore]

Appreciated. I will certainly let you know.
