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.

I'm not.

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

[...hm.]

Fine. Where do you live?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

846 Goldberg. I'll be waiting outside.

glares awkwardly at you

she has a rock]

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

U-Um. Hi. Thanks for coming.

[He eyes the rock somewhat awkwardly.]

[bridgetroll.livejournal.com]

....Nothing to thank me for.

[she tosses the rock half-heartedly at his feet.]

There. Revenge.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . . .

Um.

[bridgetroll.livejournal.com]

Did you actually think I was going to try and beat you up? What do you take me for?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

N-No, it wouldn't be like that. I mean it. It's . . . to test how well I can protect people.

[bridgetroll.livejournal.com]

You're the first little kid I've met who gave a damn about that.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

It's something that's important to me.

[bridgetroll.livejournal.com]

Why? Why you?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Don't you want to protect the people you care about? More than anything, that's what I wanted.

[bridgetroll.livejournal.com]

...I don't have anyone I care about.

[her hands tighten into fists]

And even if I did, I couldn't help them.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

You can always do something. It doesn't matter if it's as silly as telling them to be careful.

[bridgetroll.livejournal.com]

Nice words like that aren't worth anything coming from me.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[bridgetroll.livejournal.com]

Because I'm me.

[hisses out her breath]

Anyway, just how were you even planning to protect someone?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . Any way that I can.

[But in the most tangible form, through the PSI that is now coursing through his body as patches of light.]
