Perfect!!!

Post it in the character section ^^

@Write

Should be fixed now. Just had to chop things up a little bit.

Yeah, a little forewarning would've been nice on that one :P

EDIT: You created a monster. All I've been doing the past two hours is alternating between studying and editing to make my CS better.

I hope you're happy.

I know we've discussed this sort of thing a little already but how do you think one would go about blocking Jay from reading one's thoughts?

@McHaggis
There's a fairly awful series of fantasy books that start with Eragon where they have mind battles and the idea is that to defend yourself, you have to present a potential invader with a solid wall of something. A thought, a memory, something that you focus your conscious thought on so they can only see that. People who are serious about it in the books learned how to put up a wall by mentally reciting a poem or replaying a memory even while they were fighting or talking or whatever. As much as I thought the books were derivative and terrible (I still read all four of them, two of which were near 1000 pages), I did like bits of the magic system and that was one of them. Something similar is mentioned the second Knights of the Old Republic game.

It's basically what Andy will try if/when he works out what Jay is doing; feeding him mental static by mentally singing a song to shield his thoughts.

Whew I'm back from my nap that lasted way too many hours.

@RedxCross Get Malcolm in the old CS Bin, he's good to go by my books. I'm looking forward to the children's shared depression in our sleazy motel room in SanFran.

Yay a discussion. As far as that goes - not showing off his powers, Ophelia is going to be the same way.

While some of the other runaways may know about her abilities, she is also avoiding having many people figure it out. Since she's obviously uncomfortable with her level of control.

Oh, for Mia's powers - when I eventually finish this gog darn CS - she probably won't know about them.

In the original comics, the Alien of the group had her alien-ness hidden by a magic bracelet or something that she'd always had. I didn't want to copy the comics, so I was thinking maybe she was on daily medication that stopped her powers from coming forth, hence making her a normal human as far as she or others knew. Except now that they've all run away, it means no more meds - and BOOM, SHE'LL HAVE POWERS.

I will however, list which ones will manifest in the RP in her CS.

LET'S GO OUTSIDE THEN, 1V1 ME BRUH!

Seriously though, they were god-awful and everyone reading them knew it. I'm not saying they weren't fun to read but it was like reading fanfiction that makes your eyes bleed or watching a show so nonsensical that it's sort of brilliant. Hatewatching and Hatereading are two of my favourite activities, in case you haven't guessed.

@McHaggis
I'm not sure how it will play out but I'm now seeing Andy deliberately broadcasting an irritatingly catchy song (Aqua's Barbie Girl, for example) to annoy Jay.

@Write
I mentioned it in my relationship thingy for her, is that cool?

@McHaggis

Funny you should ask:

YES.

Please feel free to apply every bad stereotype that applies to motels to this one.

[Write]

@Roosan

Yeah I'll pm you about that (but yes it's okay).

@MiddleEarthRoze

That seems super natural and great so I think you should most definitely do it.

@McHaggis
That's the song now stuck in my head and the one I will inevitably listen to in the next ten minutes.

[RedXCross]

Hooray, now that I'm offically accepted I feel less bad about adding into the conversation.
In terms of mind reading: Malcolm will probably not react a lot, though during the daytime you'll probably get a lot of sun god nonsense. Also poor, precious Malcolm is gonna have to learn a lot about how the real world works.

^{Though him accidentally stumbling across some dirty film??? Oh boy...}

[MiddleEarthRoze]

@Roosan

TRUUUEEEEE

Yeah, they were a chore to read, to be fair. The story behind it is awesome though. (We will not speak of the movie...)

@RedXCross

That sounds amazing and I demand it happen in front of Ophelia for my viewing pleasure.

Also should anyone desire I got the quick relationship sheet out of the way:

Feel free to have at it and define what makes your character like/dislike any other character. They've been stuck together in a jeep for the past week so I mean, let the hatred flow through you and all that good stuff. Or let the love flow through you, depends on your character I s'pose.
