Iskaulit Mingle - Problems with Psychics

[notzubats]

Who: Anyone on the Iskaulit!
Broadcast: If you'd like?!
Action: Iskaulit!
When: Today, as Sora's augment glitch starts.

[It's your average day on the Iskaulit. Absolutely nothing seems out of place initially, but without any warning- you might find yourself or your friends experiencing some problems. What's up on that?

In other words, it's an Iskaulit mingle with a twist! Come on in everyone! You don't need to interact with Sora to have it effect you, so feel free to start your own threadstarter! Or talk to Sora, that's cool too. ]

I've seen some weird little things here and there.

_{[ A pause. ]}

I - uh - shouldn't pick up small objects for a bit myself.

[notanoptimist]

[That gets his attention. Shouldn't pick up small objects? Brow furrowing and the beginnings of actual worry darken his expression.]

Why not?

[universal_charm]

Uh, well... it seems I tend to "charge" them? About the only way to describe it at this point.

[notanoptimist]

You charge them? [There's some definite dubiousness happening here.] And then what?

[universal_charm]

_{[ There's a moment as his eyes turn upward, clearly searching for words to put this in a way that will not make Leonard panic. ]}

They might tend to make tiny concussive blasts of air.

_{[ Sure, that'll work. Just dancing around the word explosion with three other words. Right. ]}

[notanoptimist]

[Flatly:] They explode. You touch things and they explode.

Well, that's just great.

[He's kind of suddenly glad there's an invisible wall between them.]

[universal_charm]

Well, if you want to be blunt about it, yes.

It doesn't work on anything huge! I've touched other people all night, if that's what you're worried about.

_{[ He took a step closer, looking amused. ]}

[notanoptimist]

[And he takes a step backward. Just in case.]

Why don't see if it works on that invisible wall I've got going on here?

[universal_charm]

_{[ He shrugs and holds out his hands until he meets the walls, but nothing seems to happen. ]}

Sorry, Bones, you're stuck playing mime a little longer. At least you're not having to wear the makeup - which is a pity, because then you'd actually smile.

_{[ Rib rib rib. ]}

[notanoptimist]

[Well. Damn it. Serves him right for having a flicker of hope.]

I have smiled a few times in my lifetime.

[universal_charm]

A smile that does not come at seeing me suffer.

_{[ He thinks that number has now drastically been reduced. ]}

[notanoptimist]

I am not a sadist.

[Notice how he's not answering the question?]

[universal_charm]

Evidence suggests otherwise.

_{[ He sees, and he's content to wait you out. ]}

[notanoptimist]

What evidence?

[Go for it. List it all, Captain. He dares you.]

[universal_charm]

I see the look of sheer glee on your face any time you get to call me up for a physical or come at my with a hypo.

_{[ He SEES it, okay, even if no one else does. ]}

[notanoptimist]

Glee? [Murderous intent, maybe. Glee? Not so much.] You need your eyes checked.

[universal_charm]

You need to be truer to your feelings.

_{[ He reached out, pressing his fingers against solid air and frowning. ]}

Looks like it's still holding. Can you push it all? Will it move with you?

[notanoptimist]

If my running into it earlier is any indication, no. No, it won't move with me. It just sprang into existence while I was walkin'.

[universal_charm]

Yeah, I got that part. I meant what about now though? It can't possibly last forever. If I could just distabilize it...

[notanoptimist]

Just don't destabilize me in the process. [No, really. Don't try anything too explosive here.] I'm not too worried about forever. I'm just wondering if it'll let me go before I starve.

[universal_charm]

What? Never. That's the teleporters job.

_{[ He didn't want to BE explosive, thank you, and at most he had made small pops, not explosions. They didn't really count. He pressed his hands against the invisible wall, licking his lips as he tried to force, well, whatever it was he did to work. ]}

If nothing else, that might be how we have to get you out.
