We seem to have a sudden influx of peop-

...wait, I remember this. I'm barricading the doors.



No, I'm not answering questions this time. Will you stop telling me you're going to fix me!? I don't care if you don't want me to be good, that's hardly your decision.

And please, keep your sordid fantasies to yourself. My mother doesn't need to hear that. I don't need to hear that.

[ooc: Anything goes, folks!]

Yes.

Or you could say the power had her.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Mmm, one of those. I see. Was she so far gone as to be relieved when you took it from her?

[sinkmyteethin.livejournal.com]

Not quite.

Her power was a kind of synaesthesia; she could taste what people want. And what I want tasted so good to her she was willing to die to help me get it.

...sorry, I got a little distracted. That sounds fascinating, how very nice of her. I wasn't as successful in extracting my companion's ability, but I've made up for it.

[sinkmyteethin.livejournal.com]

Ah-- that would be Maya?

Inanna helped me kill her.

As I've said, she was very useful.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Maya, yes. What a waste of time that was.

It sounds like you got the better end of the deal, here.

[sinkmyteethin.livejournal.com]

I really, really did, yes.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Did you ever pick up regeneration?

[sinkmyteethin.livejournal.com]

Not yet, but I know several other of me who did.

And what he means here is "not yet, thank fuck, or Chainsaw would be on me like flies on shit".

[sinkmyteethin.livejournal.com]

Go away.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Like me. I have plenty of time to figure out everything else, now.

[sinkmyteethin.livejournal.com]

It's a very convenient power, isn't it.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

It's one of the more useful ones, yes.

[sinkmyteethin.livejournal.com]

Have you collected any other interesting ones since our timelines diverged?

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Oh, a few, yes. Clairsentience is my current favorite, although it's a bit of an overload here.

How about you?

[sinkmyteethin.livejournal.com]

This here, that there. Inanna's synaesthesia is the most useful to date, mostly because she-- I-- can also influence the desires we taste.

Clairsentience? What's that like?

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

You can make people want different things with that ability?

It lets me know the entire history of any object I touch. Originally disorienting, but quite useful.

[sinkmyteethin.livejournal.com]

Yes. Anything I want them to.

Ah; I've heard that one discussed under the name "retrocognition", but I've never tried it myself.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

God- I can just think of all the ways that could be used...

Bridget's ability is very thorough, like having a security camera on every object in existence.

[sinkmyteethin.livejournal.com]

Watching her manipulate everyone we came across in our travels was very instructive.
