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. ]

Re: 70 years late to the party, Bucky/Winter || OTA

[Wrath's on her way to her mural and wanted to stop by to see if winter's around to say hi. She has the timing down to spot the flying candle holder.]

... Whoa, that was cool. How did you do it?

[reconstitution]

[ Surprisingly enough, he is on the Iskaulit. He's so focused on what the fuck just happened, that he doesn't immediately register Wrath' entry and whips his head around to look at her. ]

I honestly don't know.. I wasn't trying to do that.

[pain_train]

Something weird is going on. Like. I was floating around and shit in the gym for a little while and it was random. So maybe it's like that?

[reconstitution]

It's happening other places, too? [ Fucking odd. Wonder what the cause of it is. ]

[pain_train]

At least on the Iskaulit. Maybe it's a weird thing the Atroma are doing to see if we freak out?

[reconstitution]

Let's hope it ends soon, then. If I've got this, someone's walking around with my abilities.

[pain_train]

Like the being super strong thing? That's not... too awful.

[reconstitution]

If they're not used to it, someone could get hurt. [ FROWN. ]

[pain_train]

They might break some dishes. That would suck. [Teasing you, Mr. Serious Pants.]

[reconstitution]

Or they could break someone's bones without realizing their strength.. Or rip doors off the hinges. Or a long list of other bad things.

[ He will be serious about this!! ]

[pain_train]

[The most serious.]

I bet they'll squish their coffee cup and then be super careful to not grab anything else. I mean, that's what happened to me after I got upgraded.

[reconstitution]

I hope you're right. [ He deflates, shoulder sagging. ]

[pain_train]

[Wrath sits down next to him and leans against his shoulder.] Being worried means you're a good person, Winter. Don't let me be too much of a dick to you about it.

So I guess you got a cool new thing to try out for a little while, now.

[reconstitution]

[ His head rests on top of hers and he huffs quietly. ]

Yeah, that's one way to look at it. It's definitely new, and a lot harder to control.

[pain_train]

Everything is hard to control at first. [She rests her hand lightly against his.]

[reconstitution]

Mm. You're right.. It's still a bit surreal. [ He can float things.. ]

[pain_train]

Can you do it again? Slowly.

[reconstitution]

Alright. I'll try.

[ He takes a calming breath, focusing on something else across the room. It shakes a foot or so from the ground, and he can tell now that it's a large candle that had tipped onto its side. ]

[pain_train]

[Wrath is quiet while he focuses, watching what's going on around them. She spots the candle moving right away. She keeps her voice pitched low:] That's really great, Winter. You're just... holding it. [Which has got to be harder than throwing something, she bets.]

[reconstitution]

[ It's definitely taking more focus to keep it airborne like that, and his attention does waver a bit, sending it a few feet to the left quickly before stabilizing. Bucky can only keep it in the air like that for a few more moments before he lets it drop. ]

I think I've had my fill. [ Cross 'obtaining powers I don't want' off the bucket list. ]

[pain_train]

That was really good, though! [Well, she's excited.]

I mean... sorry. It's gotta be freaky too. I can't even really imagine what it's like. [She kind of wishes she knew since she's... just her. Regular ol' her. Though that should really be good enough.]

[reconstitution]

It's.. jarring. But not terrible?

[ Like fading in and out of consciousness and suddenly having an unnatural limb with more strength than you think. Not quite that drastically surreal, but the displacement of his own self that comes with it is the part he's having trouble with. ]

[pain_train]

Weird?

I mean. It's weird when you open your eyes and you're not exactly what you remember being.

[reconstitution]

Yeah, similar to that.

[pain_train]

Or who you are.

[Though then the problem is that you don't remember who you used to be, you just don't know who you are now. A little disturbed by that though, she snuggles in a little tighter against his side.]

Sorry.
