A Gift and a Curse

@AbandonedIntel

Ha, no, actually. I was intentionally choosing powers that would counter their personality or interests in some way.

So, for her, I was latching on to her dislike for conflict, as well as her love of animals(and her dog specifically). For her to use her power, there's a good possibility that she'll put her dog at risk(But don't worry, Audrey can heal dogs too). There's also a slight increase in her own aggressive tendencies, which she'll likely notice and dislike about herself.

@AbandonedIntel Alright, I got it, I think. I may change it suddenly, but here goes:

Animal Bond: She has created an intrinsic link between herself and her dog, Kirk. Through it, both have taken on some of each other's traits. Gabby has a greater hearing and sense of smell(not on the same level as Jasmine, mind), but also gains some of his nature. She becomes protective to the point of aggression.

Kirk, meanwhile, has become a great deal smarter through his link with Gabby. He is far beyond any dog, and most animals, and even has some level of self awareness and capacity for reason. He sees her as his pack leader, and will obey her unflinchingly, and with his new level of intelligence is able to take on much more complicated commands. He doesn't need to be trained to turn the light off, because when she tells him to, he knows what it is that she's trying to communicate.

Though he may gain some capacity for English, he does not automatically understand it(though he understands her through their link) and will have to learn from others trying to talk to him.

Audrey practically jumped out of her skin when James grabbed her. She moved quickly, like one who is used to having to fend off unwanted touching, and had his hand in a death grip for just a moment, before she realized who he was and let go.

"James. Shit, where did you come from?"

Meanwhile, she couldn't help but notice all the weirdness. The entire cafe seemed to be falling apart, and Kassidy didn't seem to see James either, just completely missed him and ran right into him. She stumbled backward and knocked into Audrey.

A new pain blossomed in her hand, much like the one in her foot, and she looked down and saw that she was bleeding from it.

"Ach!" she exclaimed, and pressed her palm into her shirt to try to staunch it.

I'm gonna make a kind of executive request, that you change your post so that when James knocks her back, she stumbles toward Audrey and tries to steady herself on her. I'm going to post assuming that they touched each other, sorry if it seems like I'm making you do something, but it's a really natural moment for them to touch, which I wanted to happen.

@R31GN Problem with geography in post, and this is kind of my fault for discouraging you from reading the OOC because it's actually come up already.

This isn't a normal, sunny fun tourist beach. We're talking more like this:



Imagine that the town is up on top of that cliff, and all of the shops on "Beach Street" are basically right on the edge, overlooking it.

The beach is definitely a staple of town life(so it makes sense to meet there, or to hang out there) but there aren't any shops down there, because high tide comes right up to the cliff face.

This fact kind of ruins a lot of the flavor and background of your post, but it's a thing.

He might also remark that he hasn't seen Audrey in a couple years, she's been gone since she dropped out of high school, and this is the first she's returned to town(and it's very likely that she was a customer of his for some time).

@AbandonedIntel

It's not that I don't have tons of cool ideas for powers already on hand, it's that I'm not sure what to fit her with.

Have you read the post about how powers were chosen? I don't remember if I asked you not to, I was trying to keep it a secret from people before they posted.

@AbandonedIntel

I see no inherent problems with the character, but I am having trouble coming up with a good power to match her with.

A Gift and a Curse

@AbandonedIntel Yeah, if you want to make a character, feel free to apply.

Wanted to make sure you saw the time limit above.

If you miss it, we're just gonna move on without you, you're not getting kicked out or anything like that.

@Ellion I never did, but here's one.

Tomorrow, at about 6 PM EST. Because that's when I'll be able to post next.

1) No, it applies only in person. Electronics are capable of recording him, and playing him back.

2) See number 1

3) I didn't have things as large as cars in mind when I mentioned him interacting with things. The way I see it, a car is too big for his filter to include.
People will, however, find the driver of the car impossible to recall.
