You have just woken up, but you don't feel like it. You are sluggish and weak, almost as if you hadn't slept at all... You smell food coming from downstairs. Lunch.

Sorry about being annoying, but you have to admit that this isn't the best situation for a conversation. We saw your son's head explode; we are going to ask stupid questions until we can get a grip on this.

Okay, it's nice to meet you. So, Merlin said you're the local power-user boss? What can you tell us about your organization, key members, etc.? Do you have any specific long-term goals in mind that we can help with?

Okay, Nicole, that was a mind voice that was talking to you. Don't get mad at Martin, Martin didn't ask that.

Okay? We're the user mind voice peeps that was generated this morning when your son got his powers.

>how long have you had your powers?

Approximately 20 years...

>How are you doing?
>I hope well, considering the situation. Everything is going to be fine, just keep an eye on Lauren.

My sons head exploded. How do you think I feel?
…
You're right though. Since will be fine again in no time.
And Lauren... Poor girl. If she can't cope with this traumatic experience I'll have to help her...

>So did Quinn's dad have powers also?
>so that's a "maybe" then?
…
He didn't... I wish he did... Because it used to be too hard for me to change the memories of users...

>What can you tell us about your organization? Any specific long-term goals in mind?

I wouldn't call us an organization. We're just „friends“ who try to stay out of sight of... Them.
And I know you'll ask who they are. So let me just tell you, it's good that you don't know.

>Anyways, ever altered your own memories to forget bad stuff you might've done?

I tried... But... It seems I can't alter my own memories...

>>646570
Why not? What, are these guys also other voices from our worlds?

I'd guess that you can't alter your own memories because they are crucial to your power. It'd be like having a program alter its inner coding mid-sentence. Not pretty. Plus, you're the one who knows what these people originally remembered, so you have an approximate backup.

As for Quinn, we were also jittery. Most of our clients' heads don't freaking explode before the end of the first session. Martin said you handled it calmly and helped fix Quinn, so that's a plus.

Okay, how many memories did you have to alter to get Martin to stop hitting on you?

And we're not sure how so many power users are gathered in the same neighborhood. Any theories?
>>
No. 646610 ID: bb78f2

>>646570
We're mind voices.
We'll learn sooner or later about Them. Unless this is more like a "if you know they will find us or present more danger to us" deal, it wouldn't hurt to tell us. Odds are we'll end up with a user in trouble one day, learn about Them, and there it is.

Is there anything in particular you DO want to talk about, though? We're here for you. If you're done with any errands or have nothing to do, blow off some steam by playing one of your son's video games. I know that sounds weird, but try it out.

>...it sounds like there's a story here about Quinn's dad. Did you want to talk about it?

He was my one true love... After I received Quinn from him we got engaged and... shortly after... my powers kicked in... and kicked him out of my life by deleting his memories of me. No matter how much I tried to explain it to him, he wouldn't believe me... And I was left alone and pregnant... That' when I first met another user. She taught me how to use my powers and helped me raise Quinn for a few years... but she died in an accident when Quinn was 3 years old...

Quinn doesn't know about his father or the other user. And it's better if it stays this way.

>We're here for you.

That is kind of you, thank you. It's good to know someone is on your side.

>>
No. 646665 ID: d3be40

Ouch. Sounds like you went through something similar to Lauren, then. An appropriate price for the power to shape history, though.

And hey, would you rather have your husband back or lose the power to resurrect your son? Because seriously, we were really worried that he was going to stay dead for the rest of the mission.

Check up on Martin, make sure he isn't falling asleep. Also, want us to help you learn new desert recipes?
>>
No. 646669 ID: bb78f2

Quinn was lucky then, he got Lauren to believe him quickly, but if he didn't, well it just would have been annoying to not have a support network believe him. Though, Quinn would always know if someone ever betrayed him, and if he hones it on his own, he's going to learn everything, even from users like you. He can't really even have a girlfriend because he's always going to know her secrets. Were you afraid you were going to read your husband's memory over and over ad be in similar situation in case he ever betrayed you?

Quinn's the only person expendable enough to help Lauren. Neither you or Martin can help her through her stuff, you're both too valuable for stability and rebuilding her victims and reducing trauma. And you can't even put her down in the worst case, because Quinn will always figure it out and you'll always have to erase his mind about her, over and over again.

You're going to have to have an honest talk with Quinn soon, or your going to lose him forever. As soon as he's got his head back, you have to tell him everything. Don't let him learn it from your head once he hone's his powers on his own.

You ever try to memory edit yourself back into his father's life? Or has he made a new family? Christ, how tragic would it be for Quinn to have half-brother's or sisters. Another reason why you need to tell Quinn this stuff. You don't want him falling in love with his half-sister, there's tendencies for that happening if they didn't grow up together but find each other.

Hello dear, remember me from 20 years ago? Oh right I erased that memory. Anyway, this is your 19 year old son. We were so in love once. Let's be a happy family again! … sounds like a great idea.

>sounds like these powers are more like curses than anything else, you have "them" coming after you, your powers are wild, and you have to constantly cover up everything that happens. So what is your ultimate goal? Why arent you just ignoring your powers and hiding from "them"?

Are you stupid?! We are trying to cover up the mistakes of others so they won't be used by „them“! Some people can't just ignore their powers!
Hh... sorry... Calm down Nicole...
>Quinn's the only person expendable enough to help Lauren. Neither you or Martin can help her through her stuff, you're both too valuable for stability and rebuilding her victims and reducing trauma.

You bring Marting to the door and thank you. It's time for you all to rest and see what the next morning brings. Of course you will tell Quinn all that happened, and about his powers and that there are more users... but you won't tell him about his father, there is no reason to worry about half-siblings.

You won't tell him about his father, but your mind eventually will, and Quinn will eventually resent you for it. Constantly mind wipe your son to prevent him resenting you, and you'll lose him forever. He'll put two and two together quicker and faster each time.

I didn't mean to make you angry when I said your son was the most expendable, I apologize, I really chose the wrong word there. But regardless, you can easily put him back together and protect him and Lauren from mental trauma with Martin's help. You two can't go anywhere NEAR Lauren until we learn more. She can't even come over with Quinn to hang out unless you're out of the house. Quinn is the only one who can help Lauren.

I know this is hard and frustrating for you, and I'm being insensitive, but this is the reality of your situation. I'm not messing with you like I did with Martin. It would not be fun making you angry.

Quinns hair is indeed a bit shorter, I don't know how time works, but I guess Martin couldn't save it all. As long as the rest of his head is back together it doesn't really matter though.

I better call Alex to keep an eye on Lauren on her way here.

You notice your pencil case falling of your table and lose your annoyance at Quinn from the surprise.Since you can't see anything you shrug it off though.
After getting out of bed, cleaned up a bit n get dressed you grab your bag and tell a maid to let your parents know you went out for breakfast.

There is a small café on the way to Quinn's. You two meet halfway there to hang out sometimes. They have good coffee and buns. Nicole will appreciate breakfast you hope.

>>If the exploding was you, maybe there's an emotional trigger?

I just can't get yesterday's events out of my head... I should try to stay calm.

>>You may want to start a relationship with Quinn, least you can do FOR BLOWING HIS HEAD OFF.

Wow brain, really? I like Quinn, but using THAT as a reason to date him? That's so wrong and stupid.

You notice someone walking into something and complaining, though you couldn't make out what it was. Maybe he's just to drunk to walk. You thought you heard a thud after it though. You continue to the bakery.

>>...did you do that? You got annoyed and it fell off.

This seems similiar to the pencil case... I gotta stay calm. Not think about yesterday...

It looks like he had something invisible bounce off him. And that was right after you got annoyed by the "wrong and stupid" idea.

I think we're seeing a pattern, here.

>Should I just walk past the bakery... just to make sure?
That might be best, until you know what's going on, or can control it.

No pressure, right? You're going to get answers.
>>
No. 651410 ID: d3be40

Seems like your abilities don't mesh well with Quinn's telepathy. Most likely, him accessing your head caused you to subconsciously move electrons inside his brain in turn, possibly as a self-defense mechanism, which turned violent because of literal pressure over time. That would also explain the singled-out police officer, who might have powers that are also mind-based.

This isn't good. How many power users out there like to randomly access people's minds? If your power doesn't need a focused target, you could lash out at hackers in self defense and you'd never know...

If Quinn's mom has mind-based powers... yeah, that might not end well. Did Quinn text anything about how he came back to life?
>>
No. 651416 ID: e114bc

It's looking like you have some sort of general telekinesis power, tied to your emotions. The head explody part might be tied to feeling awkward. Or some other emotion that was common to both times it happened.

So if you concentrate on staying calm everything will be fine.
>>
No. 651438 ID: 04b86a

>You thought you heard a thud after it though.
There being a thud doesn't match up with your power being telekinesis. Did their heads explode because you created something inside them?

Also, having your power trigger every time you're annoyed is going to be annoying.
>>
No. 651440 ID: bc7df6

Good news is over time your power improves in the amount of control you have and in potency.
The latter might sound worrying but think of it this way-by the time you can could crush a car you probably should be able to command irregardless of your emotional state.
Definitely visit the bakery though!
We really really need to get a handle on those powers sooner than later by the looks of things.

You're a bit scared something could happen to her, she's to young to lose her head so you try to calm down the best you can. As you look down to her you notice tears in her eyes. You slowly lift your arms to grab her shoulder when she suddenly clings into your shirt.

Odds are if we're Quinn or Lauren we're going to miss some shit, and we haven't even BEEN introduced to Alex yet. If we're Quinn, we're probably not going to see Alex.

Aw shit, it's Them. They were following Lauren. The invisible lady bumped into that guy earlier, and fell over. There was a thud.

Well at least now we know the invisible one runs into things. Maybe she has poor eyesight.

>>Phoebe she'll have more pertinent information about the situation that we can use to track them when we switch to someone else later.

you can't give information YOU know to other characters. And Phoebe is "just a kid".

the routes mean, that Quinn and Alex are meeting up n do the route together, as well as Lauren and Phoebe being at the same place.

Since it'll be the same happenings, we won't see it from different perspectives, so you've to chose one.

You are with Phoebe now.

:qqicon_phoebe: „You're not going to hurt her right?“
:qqicon_Bob: „Kid, listen. The way you reacted. She deserves this right?“
:qqicon_Dick: „Phoebe, we won't hurt her if she understands where she belongs.“
:qqicon_phoebe: „...“
:qqicon_Bob: „She belongs to us. We'll take care of her. We'll protect you. Wait outside.“

They're leaving me outside again... The last time they had an „accident“ … I know what I saw... but is this really the right thing to do? ... No, it's alright Phoebe. Calm down. They just have her in this room to make sure she won't hurt anyone. ... They never let me in this room...

I don't know, these guys seem like a couple of creeps that your Mom would warn you about. Abduction of women, have knocking out drugs, etc.

Wait, that's slavery. Slavery is bad. And creepy.

>we won't hurt her if she understands where she belongs
...also, there's no way that girl is gonna wake up understanding "she belongs to them" suddenly, so she is gonna get hurt.

Why are you doing this? What is it you're trying to do? It was supposed to be something good, right?

Girl, if you say ANYTHING to these older gentlemen about the phrasing of belong to us, do it in a cute way.

Like "Mommy told me you can't own people. I'm confused." or something. If you had a Mom or they don't know you never had a Mother in the other case, that is. If you didn't, sheesh, sorry about that. Didn't want to dig up an old wound.

Urgh... My head really hurts right now...

I see peoples most exciting memories... Usually it's just stupid things people get excited about, but every now and then I see things like... Users... And their horrible powers... Abusing their powers...I... She... She deserves this... Bob's right... I saw her... Kill people... Their heads exploded... It was terrifying...

ABUSING YOUR POWERS IS WRONG! We are trying to use our powers for good... We help people to control... We...

except that's not the whole story. she makes heads explode when she is afraid. if she is not afraid then she wont. her emotions control her powers. fear is excitement. adrenaline flows when you are scared.

>I see people's memories
Do you get the context of those memories? Or the feel?

Like, was she exulting in being able to blow people up, or was she doing it because she was afraid and corned by people who wanted to hurt her, or was she scared out of her mind because she couldn't control her powers or...?

Why did the memory stick out for her? What did it make her feel?

Like, I mean, you guys try to use your powers for good, right? Even though some people might consider mind reading an abhorrent invasion of privacy, you try to use it to help, not to exploit people or anything.

>Why am I suddenly having these thoughts about them
Did you pick up something from that girl, just now? I doubt she thinks very highly of you or your family right now. Or maybe you're just unsettled by the violence you saw replayed.

But you can't just... make people belong to you. That's trafficking! It's illegal to traffic even criminals in most countries!
How do you know this person was a User and isn't a bystander of a User attack? What if this person was defending herself?

Aren't there other User factions keeping control of Users? What if we just stepped on their toes? What about Jurisdiction? What if she has friends? We could start a war without the proper research! Your memory ability isn't perfect, if you can't figure out if she's a bystander or a murderer. You NEED to know the intention of the person you're reading, the feelings, the situation, etc. You can't judge a single moment without context.

I mean, if there was a murder with exploded heads, wouldn't you think that would be on the news? How have you not heard of it by now?

Yeah, we had that reaction too. Watching two kids' heads explode would make any sane mortal freak out.

Including her.

You delve into their worst nightmares and greatest accomplishments. But you don't have the context, and we don't have the intel. Describe what you saw. What if she can't control what she did? Your friends could be in danger and you're just standing here.

Can you describe what you saw? Use six sentences for pacing.

I see what they saw. Nothing else...

>>you try to use it to help
>>What do you do to users who misuse their powers?

SHE RAN INTO ME! I didn't WANT to see that... I see things...sometimes, when I touch people... I'm young. They say I'll get grip on it eventually... Meanwhile when I see someone abuse their powers I tell the family what I saw and they take care of the rest. … I guess since I was so terrified there was no need to tell them anything though...

>>She didn't look surprised or anything about the head exploding in that memory?

… I see through peoples eyes, I can't see the person using their power, but it's possible she wasn't the one exploding the heads? Maybe she was just as terrified as me? ...Urgh my head hurts so much.

>>How do you know this person was a User and isn't a bystander of a User attack?

Your mind is your strongest weapon, not your greatest weakness. Open your eyes and begin looking around; list objects around you and think about them instead. Select useful thoughts from the speeding trackless train that is your mind, and concentrate on a small list of options on what to do next. Drink some water, eat some food, hug some people, run around the room, hug some people, use your body to calm your mind.

Focus past the pain and one day this torment will be yours to use for your purposes.

Maybe, just maybe telling your brothers that you can't tell she's a bystander or not will make it hurt less Pheobe.
