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.

That sounds pretty useful. My dog can do something like that -- smell weaknesses.

Five . . . whats?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Five ☠☠☠☠. Uh...

Girls have a ☠☠☠☠, guys have a ☠☠☠☠ sort. The thing had five of them.

It could have at least worn pants, ☠☠☠☠ demons.

. . . I'm not really sure what you're saying, but I'm just gonna assume having five of that is bad.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Bad if you're on the receiving end.

Not sure how it felt about having those, though it seemed pretty ☠☠☠☠ proud.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . Huh.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Anyways, that's not here so it's not something we have to worry about.

So your dog can sniff weaknesses? I'm sure my friend would have loved that. She just kinda studied a lot as a kid or something.

I'm not too sure how it works, but he tells if we ought to set things on fire or electrocute them and things like that.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Smart dog. My friend just kinda says she knows how to kill it, then she goes and kills it.

Or she tells me to punch it really hard while she does her thing.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . We ended up doing that sometimes, too.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

You don't look okay with that.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I don't really like hitting people all that much. With my fists or with bats or clubs.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Sometimes that's all we can do. Hit the thing until it stops hurting people.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I know. I just . . . think it shouldn't have to be like that.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[The Captain might not agree, but he wasn't about to argue with Lucas.]

Your home have a lot of violence?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Sort of.

It didn't used to. And it hopefully won't anymore . . .

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Hey, more power to your world if you can stop that sort of thing.

My world is full of people violent. The stronger you get the stronger the enemies get. I don't think there will be an end to it. But then again it's not my place to lead the way.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

And you're OK with it? You don't wish it could be different at all?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

It's all I know. I mean that's how the world goes.

If I don't punch a dragon, it puts a brain fried kelpto chic in it's pants.

If I don't barrel through a flying warship, a suicidal cyborg with a mommy complex kills people with razor teeth koala.

Someone's always going to have power and be a maniac. The rest of us can sit by or do something.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . What if you could stop all the maniacs? What if you could make the world the way it ought to be?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Then we better hope that you are better than the rest of us, because that makes you the biggest threat too.

You might be able to do something like that kid, but the world would be a horrible ☠☠☠☠ place if I ended up winning.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . .

[Perhaps he already had.]

I think you're a good person, Mr. Captain. You should be more confident in yourself.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about me kid.

I'm confident people like you will win in the end. Just let me know if you need anything and I'll do what I can.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

A-Ah. I . . . well. Thank you. Then I'll be counting on you.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

I'll let you know if I get any powers back, until then all I have is a golf club and anger issues.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . Just as long as you use those against the bad guys.
