The Greenbriar Miracles

@Mr Allen J @Eyeris

When Jasmine tried to whisper in her ear, Audrey answered back, at normal volume, "I cannot hear you." She had, however, heard how Jasmine had reacted to Alexandra, and thought Alex was quite right to storm off like that. Aud almost told Jasmine the same, but with the roar of her bike to go with it (see how you like that, miss "I can hear heartbeats").

But Audrey felt too entrenched in the mystery of this town's lights and the sudden apparent supernatural powers to turn away someone who was claiming to be affected by it. And that line of thinking brought Audrey to Bae, with her claim that she could read minds. Strangely enough, Audrey didn't have any trouble hearing anything that Bae said, ringing ears or no, and that gave her a thought.

Can you? Audrey thought, staring intently at Bae, Tell me how lovely and pink the sky is today.

@Mr Allen J
There's passive aggressive and all that, but your character's really just kinda assholish.

Really torn between Alexandra verbally punching her back or just having her hurt. Dunno yet.

@Gisk
Would it be possible that Alexandra could intentionally leech the energy out of someone via touch, provided she wanted to hurt that person, or had a strong negative emotion? Like, she just gets really angry, and grabs them- and drains them of just about any energy they had.

Of course, then she'd be horrified.

But is it purely a passive effect or will it have this more active one?

@OfWindAndRain

Yeah, that's definitely one way the power is meant to work.

Alright, folks. There's a few intro posts going around still, I know, but other than them, the average for post length is pretty long. Just consider what actually needs to be there, don't go putting filler in to make your post longer.

@Mr Allen J You do you keep calling Audrey white? She's a quarter white, everything else is east Asian.

You ninja'd me, give me a second to edit my post.

Audrey missed the first part of Jasmine's gratitude, but guessed at what she was saying. She turned the better of her ringing ears toward her and focused to catch the rest.

"... I can hear your heart-beat."

"Like the beat of a drum?" she asked with a bark of loud and somewhat bitter laughter. It had not been lost on her that she had taken on the injuries of those she had miraculously healed. And therefore it was, in a way, Jasmine's fault that her hearing was damaged. She just hoped it wasn't permanent.

Aud leaned over the handlebars of her bike and lowered her voice to mirror Jasmine, though she didn't have the girl's apparent super hearing. "Believe me, I don't know anything more than you. Well," she looked about, "Maybe one thing. Do you remember Solomon? Majumdar? I saw him last night, and it got weird."

Another girl, who, like most people her age, she recognized vaguely from school, came upon them and let out the most god awful series of rambling. Audrey caught the end, the bit about super powers, but had trouble following the rest.

"Girl, my ear drums are fucked, I only caught half of that. What super power do you think you have?"

It was weird to ask that question and actually half expect a serious answer.

@Mr Allen J

Audrey turns the better of her damaged ears toward Jasmine and asks, loudly, "What?"

I'll try to get myself up to date today.

@OfWindAndRain Yeah, go ahead. And I don't think it's too forced if you manage to surprise them by speaking directly to them. The street is more crowded than usual, and even Jasmine might not differentiate her from the crowd.

EDIT: And if you post before, that's cool, but you might get in after me.

Quote: “A little less boy, a little more genius!” (Imagine this given with "double guns" and a mouth click)
Theme Song: Technologic - Daft Punk
Name: Cecil Monroe
Alias: None, though his squadmates may adopt one.
Age: 25
Powers and Skills: Super Genius(specializing in physics and mechanical engineering)

Weaknesses: Normal human. Though he's a brilliant inventor and can build improvised high tech from everyday appliances, he's not a genius in many other areas. He's not a great strategist, for one glaring example, and is often caught because he failed to cover his bases in planning.

Personality: Excitable and talkative, most people don't expect the “evil genius” to be as easy to get along with as he is. He might have done well in academia or engineering, but he is nihilistic and impulsive, and has been using his genius for grand attempts at personal gain since he was barely a teenager.
One thing that can be said for him is that none of his schemes has(intentionally) threatened human life. He is surprisingly compassionate and socially conscious, and has gone to court against the state for the rights of his fellow inmates on more than one occasion.

Appearance: A thin framed young man, of thick and wavy dark hair and black eyes. He has a tired look about his eyes, and is usually artfully disheveled.
He dresses fashionably, be it name brand street clothes, or a two thousand dollar top coat.

Cecil

Biggest Claim[s] to Fame: Held a military satellite hostage from his mother’s basement at thirteen years old.

How Long Have You Been in Prison: On and off for twelve years. His current uninterrupted stint has been two years.
Brief History: Cecil first came to the world’s attention in what would become his accustomed grand style at the age of thirteen, calling himself a “boy genius.” He launched a rocket from his backyard that intercepted and attached itself to a military satellite. Once attached, Cecil contacted the pentagon and threatened to detonate it if he wasn't paid.

They traced his call and arrested him.
He likely would have been tried as an adult for treason or terrorism, but DARPA saw value in someone who could assault an orbiting installation with a rocket made of garbage and tried to employ him. Cecil went along with this, until he managed to slip his handlers and make off with two hundred thousand in embezzled funds. The FBI caught up with him six months later, but the money was never recovered.

He was never given a second chance, and yet has spent more than half of the time since his second arrest a free man. He simply keeps escaping. The list of privileges he is allowed in prison has dwindled until the only things he can have in his solitary holding cell are books, which he had to sue the state to allow.

EDIT: I'll have to fix the URL when I get home. It's really hard to do on mobile.

I'm pretty interested.

Let me get something marinating in my brain juices, I'll see what I can crop up.

The Greenbriar Miracles

@OfWindAndRain Go right ahead, it'll be good to keep things moving, and we can't always wait for everyone.

The Greenbriar Miracles

@CharmingDevil please add them to your sheet.

@Mr Allen J Alright, that's fine. We can still say the same thing, Audrey healed her(and now has some kind of ear drum puncture).
