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.

PSI has a little to do with your personality. So . . . the thing I wanted most was to be able to protect the people I cared for.

I hope you do, too. B-But! Be careful when you're not, OK?

[No more killing yourself in front of him.]

When there are soo many other children to die infront of?

That's pretty great kid. I'm not sure why my powers work like they do. They're just kind of my generic package of super powers.

Probably better that way, I don't even want to think of what PSI would do with me.

[Not quite getting what it is but liking what he sees.]

Bad mun. =(

. . . Well, PSI is usually helpful no matter what it is. One of my closest friends learns how to set things on fire or freeze them or blast them with meteors.

Re: Bad mun. =(

I had a friend who could hit things with light. Another who made things explode. Also there was a robot. And another one of my friends had the power to shoot things dead.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

O-Oh.

Don't guns already do that last one pretty well?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but she's immortal and can tell you what kinda bullet to use. Like silver against werewolves. Or some funky wood against those demons with five ☠☠☠☠.

I hate the demons with five ☠☠☠☠...

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

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.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . 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.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

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?
