Thirty Third PSI

[a_gentle_boy]

[Well. It had been a day or two since being rescued from Westport, and Lucas finally felt well enough to return to his daily activities. After the first day of binging, the thought of eating more food had been slightly nauseating, actually. When he's finished with school, he will make a call about something that's been on his mind since returning.]

[voice, public]
Ah. Hi, everyone. This is Lucas. Um. First off, I'd like to say thanks to whoever it was that brought us all back. . . . I really don't want to think about what would have happened to us if you hadn't come. I think Vince said your name was Mr. Doctor...

The other thing is, I'd like to talk to the people who were in Westport last year. Did any of you take a look around for more clues . . . ? I guess no hazmats means no clues, and I don't really mind that, but. I know I didn't find anything important. . . . There were a few things, though - Some things that were odd. There wasn't a church or a library. And, Kay, do you remember the television in the house you hid in last year? I went back to the same house, and . . . there wasn't anything there. But I know it was the same. The place where the TV had plugged into, it was missing entirely.

. . . I'm not sure what any of this means, but it might be important to think about.

I suppose then I and my comrades were hardly as alone in eschewing our names as we thought.

Maybe I should call myself . . . The Fourteen Year Old Boy With Blonde Hair. That might be a little too long, though.

[Laughter at that. And unlike what you would think, not particularly unpleasant at the moment.]

No, no. I'm afraid titles work best when it's something very specific to who you are or what you can do. Like The Kid, though that's a bit too vague on who you are, isn't it?

Probably something like the The PSI Kid, then.

PSI?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Psychic, sorry.

[sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com]

I see!

Quite talented as well! What kind of psychic powers do you have?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Mostly to heal. PSI isn't as limited as that, though. It's just the kind of thing that I've specialized in.

[sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com]

Healing is as useful as any other skill.

What an accomplished young man you are.
