He dropped Salem instantly and reached for his radio. His hand was trembling as he fumbled with it. [color=yellow] “I have a code 9104H behind ballroom 3. I repeat, I have a code 9104H behind ballroom 3.”[/color] [color=yellow]“You three start talking. How did you come across this? Who came across this first? Did anyone touch anything or see anyone suspicious?”[/color] The guard demanded. Sirens could be heard in the distance. [hr] [sub][right]Interacting with [@WeepingLiberty] [/right][/sub] [color=D42CF9]“Oh, uh, no. They’re pretty normal. People get antsy around us once they know what we can do and it’s fair! Completely, totally, absolutely fair! Uh, thankfully that’s only really a problem the first year of mental training. Suddenly, you’ve learned that the boundaries of your mind aren’t quite as firm as you thought they were and your magic just runs with it.”[/color] Dennis chuckled, waving away the concern. [color=D42CF9]“You kinda just broadcast stuff early on, your own thoughts but since you aren’t actively doing it, you don’t even realize it. Then, you start listening to other people and then you broadcast other people’s thoughts [i]and[/i] your reactions. It’s not exactly a people pleasing skill before you control it. And when you start with telekinesis? First semester kineticists have a rule: If you don’t want to lose it, tie it to your body. I thought it was a joke and the first day I flung a fork prongs first into Queeny cause I grabbed it with my magic instead of my hand and freaked but when I could turn it off. I was pretty sure I saw my life flash before my eyes.”[/color] [color=D42CF9]“I promise I can control it now! I don’t just jump into people’s heads unless we need to.”[/color] He flushed a little, eyes not quite making contact at the statement. [color=D42CF9] “And vampires are a whole different kinda mind so it’s even harder to wriggle yourself in there if you aren’t practiced.”[/color] [hr] The vampiress licked the last of the boy’s blood off her fingers. Maybe she’d take a break for a bit, let the little insects figure out exactly what she’d left them to play with. The thrill of the kill was starting to wear off. It was all fine and dandy for the first few kills but just the threat of stealing from [i]Ryner[/i] wasn’t enough to make it fun anymore. She shredded the dress until only the top hung from her shoulders and the black pants she nearly always wore were all that remained. The mask went next, torn and crumpled, and she took to the rooftop of the Hall as she waited for something to make this a bit more challenging.
