[@IceboundMemoire] Jeremy was taken aback as Dustin asked his questions, made his demands, and threatened his life. He hadn't expected the person to be so forward, or so violent. He paused, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and lighting one up for effect, and because he needed to think. To prod. Even as he stood before the person, his mind reached out, prodding Dustin's defenses. Sure enough, absorbing whatever he had absorbed had armored his mind. Controlling this person would be quite difficult. He then smirked. While he felt resistances versus mind control, it seemed as if there was no special resistances to hallucinations, but he wouldn't try that. He didn't feel like getting shocked. "First off, I'm not here to kill you. My name is Jeremy Haynes, former owner of Haynes Inc. I was out for a walk before my head started hurting. It led me to you." He explained this part as best he could, confident, as he wasn't lying and he knew it. He put up his pack and his lighter, turning his attention back to Dustin. "As for my powers..." He stares, still grinning cryptically. "Well, lets just say I'm very persuasive."
