Twenty-Fourth PSI

[a_gentle_boy]

U-Um.  Sorry about all the weird stuff I did this weekend.  I don't think I actually hurt anyone, but . . . I think I said a lot of rude things.  The, um.  Psychic PSIclone is setting down his cape.  Permanently.  And if I did hurt you, let me know and I'll make it up to you.

I'd like to make a request of you all.  It's a little strange, but.  It would help me a lot.  I'm asking for someone -- or several . . . ones -- to attack me.  The more powerful you are, the better.  And . . . you can use PSI or magic or anything else you know how to use, too.  . . . Maybe even a gun.

Thanks.  Just come by my house if you want to try.  I don't have anything else to do today.

Attack you, seriously?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I know it sounds weird, but I need to see how strong my defenses are in comparison to the powers everyone else has here.

[avengesthesky.livejournal.com]

I guess that makes sense. ( pause. ) And. . . and I might be able to help, if you want, I got someone back that can pack a pretty heavy punch.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Someone? Is it your . . . your, um. The guardian?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

You serious kid?

[The Captain was there. Holding his ☠☠☠☠ kicking stick, aka a golf club.]

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am.

[Lucas blinks for a few seconds at the golf club.]

Is that for . . . hitting me with?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Actually, it's for Grady. I don't want to hurt you kid... But if you need to test something I'll help. You want a fist, my boot, or this golf club?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Um. Let's go outside first . . .

[Lucas closes the door behind him and leads the Captain around to the back yard.]

The thing is that I got a lot of my defensive PSI back just now. I want to see how strong it is against the powers of people from other worlds.

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess I could... but why do you want people to attack you?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

It would help a lot to see how strong my PSI is in comparison to other people. In case I need to know in the future.

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll help out if you want, then.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Please come over to 846 Goldberg whenever you're free, then.

I'm sure "The Pokémon Master" would be more than glad to try attacking you, but I've kinda returned to normal now, so... Why would you want that anyway?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

What's a Pokemon, anyway?

I want to know how powerful my defenses are against people from different worlds. It's useful to have a reference just in case.

[bestwishes]

Ah, I see... As for Pokémon, I guess the easiest way to describe 'em is "animals with superpowers"?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Oh! So that's what I meant.

[Lucas pauses. That sentence was a bit bizarre.]

A-Anyway, so that's one of the reasons why.

[stay-cool-bro.livejournal.com]

Well, I won that fighting tournament sort of... but what's this for?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Really? Oh, I didn't hear. Congratulations!

Um. It's mostly to see how strong of a defense I can put up against the different magic or powers the people here have.

[stay-cool-bro.livejournal.com]

[Well, my last two opponents got droned, so it kinda killed the buzz. Word didn't really get around. ...He decides not to say that]

Thanks! It was a lot of fun.

All right, got it. So I'll come over and hit you with my best shot then.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Alright, thank you! You know where I live, right? 826 Goldberg. I'll wait outside.

[bridgetroll.livejournal.com]

....You're joking.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I'm not.

. . . Y-You, um. Can get revenge if you want.

[bridgetroll.livejournal.com]

[...hm.]

Fine. Where do you live?

[wybrows.livejournal.com]

... I'm probably more powerful than anyone else, ya know. So it's a good idea not to let anyone else attack you.

[ Her way of trying to convince him to not let people attack him? Most likely. ]

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

You should come over and help, then.

And oh! You should come see if I can teach you PSI.
