[ (ooc: this is a VLR spoiler if anyone... cares..? game's years old but the sequel's coming up this week so just being safe.) ]

Hey now that things have died down a little

I know a lot of you here have crazy magic superpowers of some sort or another, so I'm kinda looking for some advice of the psychic variety...

wait that came out wrong I don't want my palm read or anything, I mean like. is there anyone here that's psychic [ god that sounds dumb ] that I could get some advice from... psychic to psychic. I guess technically esper to esper if anyone's heard that word before seriously hit me up I need to talk

but I feel like that's a long shot so, longer story short right before I got here I kinda got a lot of shit that I don't understand in the slightest dumped on me with no manual and no receipt, and up until recently I haven't really been giving it much thought but now... I donno I'm just way out of my depth here and I want to try and turn that around, I feel like getting the hang of this is a step in the right direction. if I've got it I should put it to use right??

So if any of you know anything about like... telepathy or clairvoyance (??) or alternate universes/timelines or the ""morphogenetic field"" I'm literally just throwing out buzzwords now or even if you can just like, mentally trigger your powers... can we talk? like is there something you focus on, do you feel different, is there anything you did/do to train it besides constant repetition bc I'm not sure how to even pull that off... I don't entirely know what I'm asking, I really don't have the vernacular for this kinda thing yet.

nothing might even remotely relate but it's worth a try. thanks in advance guys.

morphogenetic field
you just made that up

[12inches]

look if it's made up it wasn't by me I'm just repeating the couple of words I was actually ever told about this

why would I throw one word of nonsense into an honest block of questions anyway?? there's no joke to commit to here

[ Except for maybe his whole life. ]

[heavyhitter]

i don't trust you, you could be in it for a long con

[12inches]

ramir come on hand to god I honestly need help with this...

[heavyhitter]

well ok i guess but i'm reserving judgment

[rin responds with a voice message because there's no way she's tolerating your fuckboi tumblr-speak for longer than she has to, sigma.]

You're an esper? [yes, stated with the conviction she understands and knows what this is.] No way...

Where do you want to begin, with what I know?

[about all of it.]

[12inches]

[ wow ok rin ]

What— [ Sigma she's answering your own goddamn question. But honestly he hadn't been expecting recognition. His heart leaps into his throat for a second. ] Yeah way! Dude!

[ An excited bark of a laugh! Okay calm down man she might just know the word. He clears his throat. ]

I mean that just kinda depends on what you all know, 'cause I know... pretty much nothing. Like, you know about the field, right? And how to pick stuff up from it and move through it?

[defenceless]

[u kno her, no fun ever]

Don't "dude" me.

[now that that's out of the way,]

If you're implying you know how to place objects in immaterial space and access them throughout different dimensions, then no, that is very much out of my range of expertise as a magus. That's an ability on the level of great magic, or sorcery.

[12inches]

[ The way he frowns is nigh tangible in his tone. ]

Yes "ma'am."

[ And the frown persists, maybe they're on totally separate pages here... But it could just be miscommunication too. Or maybe there's a lot more to espers than he thought. ]

No, no no, not objects. I mean like, information. Like say for example in one version of events, I stayed behind on Nalawi. I could pick up on stuff I learned there without leaving Oska.

Theoretically... If I knew how to on command...

Ah so- before we jump in with guns blazing.
What exactly is it that you do? Psychically, of course.
Specifics, plz k.

[12inches]

Okay you know the many-worlds interpretation? like infinite number of split-off universes all running parallel. that's real. apparently. I can recall things from those other timelines and jump between them

I just have zero idea how to do it other than randomly/when I'm really stressed out

[selfimage]

Yes, yes- I'm aware it's real. I had a jaunt across mayfly universes for a while.

[ he's also done other things in past lives, but you know, that's beyond the point. from one specific travel, he knew someone from a big alternate universe, for a moment, the thought makes him miss her. ]

With someone like you, she had more control over her abilities, of course.
Is there a pattern to the madness? I'm going to fail in specifics for the moment, we don't want to pigeon hole ourselves.

[12inches]

oh thank god someone who gets it

[ That was more knee-jerk than anything, he just really wasn't expecting many similar experiences. ]

There's not... really a pattern? not one I can figure out anyway. I guess it happens most often when I need a solution or an out or something so like I'm definitely doing something subconsciously I just have no idea what... much less how to work on it, it's kind of a heat of the moment thing

Wow I don't even know half of those words...
Um..! I'm sorry I can't help you with this, Sigma, but I just wanted to wish you good luck!!
I hope you find someone to help you soon...

[12inches]

hey don't worry about it, I didn't really know either until like a day before I got here! I still don't really know...
but thanks Olivia, seriously. good vibes are just as helpful right?

[winces]

Oh gosh, that must have been really scary for you! I hope you're right, though, since good vibes are all I have...
If you don't find anyone with this, I can try asking around, too, if you want?

[12inches]

scary's putting it lightly... But yeah pats on the back are important when you're trying to learn stuff! I'd appreciate some help asking around too. hell I'd appreciate anything at this point...

but hey, you've got those healing powers don't you? you didn't have those before you got here did you?

[apoptotic]

Before I can make suggestions, I need to know what you've tried.

[ not enough useful deets, man. ]

[12inches]

Besides thinking really hard? not much... after all the shit hit the fan on Nalawi I didn't have much of a chance to experiment.

before I ended up here I guess part of what I was doing was recalling strings of letters and numbers I'd heard in different timelines, and I was actually starting to get pretty alright at that? but that's not very applicable here. remembering whole situations was harder, but I managed it a couple times. I just needed to know something I couldn't at the time and if I was lucky it came to me out of the blue. if I was doing anything special I missed it

idk if it helps but being in danger really upped my success rate, but that's not exactly a crutch I want to keep leaning and learning on...

this isn't helping is it...

[apoptotic]

[ amazingly, a lot of that makes sense. ]

I experience something similar. Like you, times of great risk makes it clearer. Sharper. I don't know of different timelines, but through the Force I can see events of the past and future. The present, too, in places far from where I find myself.

[12inches]

guess now that I think about it, even normal people can do pretty crazy things under stress, this is just a different kinda strength. but huh... I guess I can only really see things if I'm actually there, at least there in some version of history, but the rest sort of checks out. seeing the past/future. or... a past/future.

what's this Force about anyway? you're the second one who's capitalized it...

[sololoquy]

You are over-complicating your request.
I can teach you.

[12inches]

you sound mighty sure of yourself for how uninformative I managed to make this...

[sololoquy]

That is because I am Kylo Ren.
You will not find anyone more capable than I, when it comes to matters of the Force and the mind.

[12inches]

[ man Sigma was definitely obsessed to unhealthy levels with The Force Awakens as a 12 year old but that isn't a fourth wall I'm touching. for one he'd know how your trilogy ends. ]

Sigma Klim, nice to meet you too buddy
well there's a lot of force in this mind apparently, so if you've got any idea at all how to direct that I'll take your word for it, 'cause it's probably more than I've got.
