Good idea, Mom gets really upset when I run around barefoot for some reason.

[/i]Check your phone for new messages and think about what you dream about last night.[/i]

It is all a distant memory. You think that if you had gone right back to bed you may have continued it, but it seems it is gone now. It is probably for the best! After all, it was probably some kind of nightmare.

Has your sleep been restless lately?

Yes. In fact, this isn't the first time this has happened. Lately, I've been waking up feeling this way increasingly often. The feeling of a forgotten dream has only happened a few times, though.

You are sluggish and weak, almost as if you hadn't slept at all could be a sign you're coming down with something.

It is hard to say. I don't feel particularly "sick" and my appetite leads me to believe otherwise. But I suppose that will become apparent as the day goes on.

That, or it could be depression. Anyway, lets get some information about this guy.

My name is Quinn, I'm a 19 year old Quoll. Nothing special about me. I play video games, daydream about... actually, it doesn't matter what I daydream about.
I passed out while reading some stories, and the nap didn't really do it for me. Aside from that, I'm fine. I sleep well enough most of the times.

Hunt for porn under the bed.

I don't keep my porn underneath my bed.

Food. Get food.

Yeah, I think I'll do that.

Check your PDA. What are you playing?

I am reading Panty Raid on tgchan. Surprisingly, I am not playing with anything.

Ponder your views concerning cane toads.

Asking that question is like asking a Jew how he feels about the holocaust.

Refuse to wear socks. Socks are evil.

My feet tend to get cold easily.

Indulge in you "human" fetish. Mentally reaffirm your love of butter.

Butter has its moments.

What do you daydream about? We won't laugh or anything.

so who is all living in this house with you?

>>624439
>I don't keep my porn underneath my bed.

Well, I have an elabortate process used to conceal it on my hard drive that consists of a fine balance of care and laziness.

Probably your phone.

"Yeah. Oh, eggs. I am pretty sure I dreamed about eggs."

Well, your mother seems nice. Do you have any siblings?

Mind reading powers or a slip of the tongue? We should just eat the eggs and worry about it latter.

Hmm, I don't know if I should jump to mind reading, but I'll definitly pay attention to what is going... After all, mind reading would be pretty... bad ass.

"Oh... uh, nothing, just thought I heard something, that's all.

She giggled. "Happens to me all the time."

I don't want to jump to conclusions but that fragment of that sentence without context could easily lead to some strange conclusions. On another entirely unrelated topic has anyone ever told you your mom is kinda hot?

>>625049
This reminds me of Panty Quest a bit. The mind reading is almost like Ron's, but weaker. I hope you haven't developed abilities tied to correlating to the quest you're reading.
Eat your eggs as fast as you can, your Mom sounds like a pervert. Don't want to learn about any booty calls she might have lined up.

Then start reading a new quest. Let's see, what has cool powers. Don't risk Nan Quest, we don't have the time to get you out of a groundhog day loop hellscape in case environment might carry over a bit.

Chee Quest is safe! The only thing that might happen is that you'll turn into an undead construct with good healing and throwing powers! Quickly, eat your dinner, read the first few chapters of Chee Quest, and then toss a paper ball from an practically impossible to score position. Then, I don't know, stub your toe and try to heal it. Or prick your finger, your choice.

Look at whatever your mom is staring at, figure out what context you're missing.

>Somehow that seems like it has already been done...
Well, yes. Good luck finding a completely original and new creative medium to express your ideas and stories.

Seriously, just because books / comics / music / art / whatever has been done before doesn't mean there's not value in making your own.

>I wonder... I... fit this entire ... in my...
Were you paying attention this time? Watching her face? Did she move her mouth, or speak? Or... did you hear something it doesn't seem like she said?

No offense, but I think you mum wants to fuck you.

>Somehow that seems like it has already been done...
Hey, you can say that to pretty much ANYTHING. You can make a great story out of a generic concept, its all in the execution.

Also, like >>625051 said, you might be picking up some powers from the quests you read. Panty quest is safe, as long as you remember that seducing (or attempting to seduce) a female monster is a shit idea. You remember what happened to Ron when he did that.

And you seem to be picking some pretty saucy thoughts from your mom.

Behold! A video concerning our protagonist's species!

Quinn, since Quoll's are dying out, just how much social expectations are put on you to raise a family? Since you're an only child, I imagine your Mom might be a bit pushy about finding a quoll girlfriend and making lots of grandkid than the usual modern quoll parent with 2.4 children?

Don't jump to conclusions, but the safe bet is that mind reading is a thing now.

"Hey mom, I am heading out for a bit."

"Oh? Where are you heading?"


Hmm, that's actually a good question... I could head to the library and see what I could learn. I could head to the mall and maybe test this on some eligible bachelorettes too. Or maybe even contact a friend or crush and talk to them/test this on them. But I could also try some place totally different if I had a good reason to go there.

Discussion thread is up

call friend and head to the mall. If nothing happens then you can at least hang out with a friend, if something does happen you would then have lots of people to test out your new wizard powers.

Go to the library. Let's go "check out" some books. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yes I am serious, anyway let's check out the library. Specifically books on supernatural powers normally I'd label all that stuff BS but if you actually woke up with mind reading perhaps there is something actually to it. Of course we'll still have to dig through all the books that are definitely useless garbage to find something but it's worth a shot.

Check with a friend. You're more easily going to be able to distinguish weird things they aren't actually saying.

Try a female friend, not a crush. Just as a test.

I'm stressed out for some reason and I can't figure it out.

You could do some simple tests. Like, think-of-a-number tests. Maybe don't even explain, just say "think really hard of a number between 1 and 100" or something. If it works, several times, she'll get the idea better than any explanation.

Try to focus on the "voice" that doesn't match what she's actually saying.

What in the text made you think it was more than hanging out?

SPILL EVERYTHING you gotta have confidants!

Maybe we shouldn't tell her, our power isn't really strong enough to prove anything serious yet. We should practice a little bit more so we can present more evidence.

Ask her what she means, and say that you just needed a bit of time out of the house and hanging out with someone. Also try and focus your ability.

say you just wanted to have some "Quoll"-ity time with your best gal hyuk hyuk

falling for what?

>>626129
Tell her you're not messing with her. You wanted to tell her because you can trust her and you don't know what to do with it. Police work maybe?

I believe she said "I can't believe I am falling for this". Say to her in your deepest voice "So, do you believe me?" :P

Say that she just thought something containing "I can't - I - falling - this". If she wants to test it more we can just keep saying what portions of her thoughts we are hearing (and that will also get us a better estimate of what fraction of the thoughts we hear).

It seemed harder? That could be a sign that proximity or familiarity with the target are a factor, or perhaps both. Have Lauren go to where that guy was, if she becomes as hard to read as he was then proximity is involved, if she becomes harder but not as hard as the other guy it's a mix of both, if there is no change in clarity of her inner voice than familiarity is the factor.

im pretty sure that every "..." in the thoughts are blanks, where a word would go.

Testing with random strangers is harder anyways, since there's no good way to check for confirmation.

>>Maybe you overexerted yourself? You went from never doing this before to experimenting a whole bunch at once. Mind reading fatigue? Maybe you should give it a rest for a while.

Yeah, that seems very possible. It is a hard feeling to describe. It is like my brain is strained -- like a muscle that's been worked past the point of soreness.

>>Hmm, I wonder if you can suppress it. Just relax your mind.

Any attempt to force it to go away causes more soreness to ebb in. Not thinking about it seems to help a little, like just trying to relax. Still, even when it pulls back, I know it isn't quite gone.

Well it's confirmed, you can read minds. Or she's secretly a ventriloquist and is screwing with you. Either way it's probably best to not strain yourself, you have a long way to go before crushing your foes with your thoughts.

>"... *sigh*"
Jealous, or just annoyed that's how the universe works?

>That might be jumping the gun JUST A BIT.
A little. There are also potential problems. If this is a unique, new thing, that means the medical community may very not have a treatment for it. Or worse, that they don't have the correct treatment for it (a harmless or beneficial mutation being misinterpreted as a hallucination inducing problem to be cut out). Or having your apparent powers recognized for what they are could backfire too- you don't necessarily want to become some kind of freak celebrity, or for unscrupulousness people or organizations to start trying to exploit you.

get a slurpee, that could help. Think of it as putting an ice pack on your brain. Just don't drink to fast or it could give you brain freeze and I don't want to see what happens when someone with mind powers has brain freeze.

Well if it's anything like a muscle it'll get stronger with use.

Wait wasn't there a 1 million dollar prize if a psychic could prove they have real powers?

>>Well if it's anything like a muscle it'll get stronger with use.

This seems... true. I probably don't want to over use this power, especially early on. But if straining causes it to become more effective, it stands to reason that increased use could cause both an increase of potency, as well as endurance. It seems the trigger for it is focus. It is hard to explain, but focusing on something and reading something's mind feel similar, but not completely. They are like a venn diagram. Ideally, increased use over time may allow me to seperate those two things completely, granting me greater control over my powers. A potential solution to future moral quandaries. But of course, this is just how-

Ugh... that was... weird. I got dizzy all the sudden. Not... dizzy, but more light-headed. There was a faint pain in my skull and everything started to blur. But it was only for a moment. And now, I feel like everything is different. Or rather, I am seeing everything different, but I can't seem to see it for what it is.

Like there is a veil around me, always completely straight, as to blend in with the fabric of reality, but in that moment a ripple... I became aware of something. But I don't know what it is I am supposed to be aware of.

I don't feel good.

Strange. But you were talking about focus being the trigger to your powers and using them makes them stronger for a second like you had more clarity? I almost wonder if it's a 'reality is false' dealie or if that's just the crazy mind powers beginning to ascend you to a higher existance or something like that.

>>628021
Hmm, this feeling. Is it similar to how you woke up? You may have just lost your mind reading power or gained another power or even both.

Weird. It at least has something to do with one of your senses. They must have been interfered with.

I know it's going to hurt, but just make sure you still have your power.

Huh. For a moment, it seemed like you knew a lot more about how this power should work than you had any reason to. That seemed a lot to intuit, or determine from first principles.

Maybe someone else you felt was someone else with similar powers leaving you instructions on how to advance?

>I don't feel good
Swallow, put drink down, don't vomit.

It sounded like your brain went into overdrive for a moment. ...if you're feeling really sick now it might be time to go to the hospital.

It sure feels like it. It is difficult to really explain the sensations, and even more difficult to explain why I am feeling them.

>Huh. For a moment, it seemed like you knew a lot more about how this power should work than you had any reason to. That seemed a lot to intuit, or determine from first

principles.

Hmm, I can't say I really knew how the power worked because that would imply control over what was happening, or at the very least some degree of being able to predict what was

coming. However, I will say that I feel the strange sensation was not inherently bad. It certainly seems bad because of the context, but the feeling itself was abstract and

curious.

>Maybe someone else you felt was someone else with similar powers leaving you instructions on how to advance?

That is as possible as it is disturbing...

>if you're feeling really sick now it might be time to go to the hospital.

I feel like that is a bit over the top. I don't really want to bring too much attention to this... at least not yet. I should be okay if I just go home and get some rest.

>>I know it's going to hurt, but just make sure you still have your power.

"Uh, are you okay?" "... is ... ... weird"

"I... Well, I've felt better."

"Mmm..."

"I think it might be a good idea if I head home and get some rest. I've been feeling a bit off lately. I think I am coming down with something."

"Yes, that. Or, it involves this mind reading power."

"Yeah, that's possible... In fact, you're probably right. But honestly, reagardless of what is causing it or whatever, I'd rather just get home for now. I feel

like total garbage."

"Hmm, yeah, you aren't looking too good... Here, let me help you up."


It hurts a bit to use the power; it left a dull ache in my skull. I do seem capable of turning it off, though, which is good... I just... I wonder what is happening. Why all

this is happening, why I have this power, why this power is making me feel this way, if indeed it is the cause. I think for now I should go home, get some rest, and let this

feeling fade a bit.

well if you want to look into psychic powers maybe look up the cold war. I mean both sides forked over tons of cash to look into people having psychic powers which I always thought was silly but if you're suddenly developing actual psychic powers they're might be something to help you figure things out... or not.

Either way before you do anything I say head home and take some Tylenol or something for your headache. Not sure if it would work but if it can take some of the pain off might as well try.

What if other people are getting powers all over the world? You might not be the only one! Or, you might have your powers because of a mystical reason. Maybe you should do some research.

Go on twitter, see if there's a trending #mindpowers hashtag.

Try to find something to do that doesn't use your brain much. Or at least not the deep thinking part. Like say a reflexes video game. Or a walk.

When you get home (and after some rest) search the internet for keywords like "skeptic," "paranormal," and "prize money." If you have independently-verifiable supernatural powers there are probably people who would pay millions of dollars for a demonstration under controlled conditions.

Don't call them up right away, though. Your ability has some definite limitations, and if the experimental setup runs up against those unexpectedly, then instead of any money at all you end up looking like a fool on live TV. Just read through the standards of proof and start thinking about how you could prove the mind-reading to a third party.

Go home, crash. On the way, make a halfhearted apology for dumping a revelation on her followed promptly by making her worry about you.

>why this power is making me feel this way, if indeed it is the cause
Two guesses there. If you're reading minds- how are you doing it? People don't normally have brain-wave radio transmission receivers in their heads, so far as we know. Which means you're either overclocking or someone operating differently the normal neural hardware, or you're drawing energy to power stuff that's not normally there. Either could be a drain on your system.

Assuming this isn't just magic, that is.

It is worth looking into, but I am not sure how much of that is classified. I am not too keen on the idea of taking a trip to Russia and advertising my psychic powers...

>>Try to find something to do that doesn't use your brain much. Or at least not the deep thinking part. Like say a reflexes video game. Or a walk.

I dunno, I think I might just try a nap. If I can't sleep or if closing my eyes makes it worse, I might give one of those a try.

>>Go home, crash. On the way, make a halfhearted apology for dumping a revelation on her followed promptly by making her worry about you.

Okay new plan, isolate yourself. Get away from people, then you can't read minds even by accident. For now, ask her to not talk, it causes you to think about what she's thinking.

ok stop trying to read minds now, you're pushing yourself a little much here. maybe just see if you can't fall asleep on the ride home. Just saying if you need rest you should probably do it now if you're having a hard time controlling your powers. Just don't pass out and freak your friend out, just tell her you're going to try and sleep.

I'm fine. I think.

Apparently mind reading is harder to turn off than you thought- you're doing it inadvertently, now.

Yeah, you should probably just get to sleep now. It might be best to isolate yourself.

Oh no, you can't seem to turn the power off like you thought.

You gotta get away from thoughts or your head explodes!!!!

WELL, THAT HAPPENED. PULL OVER, GET OUT, CALL 911, AND CRY. THAT'S ALL YOU CAN DO.

HOLY SHIT I TOTALLY DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!!!
Lauren freak the fuck out, wake up from nightmare
Quinn become physic ghost like from that shitty F.E.A.R. Game. The fourth one. Or pull a Dr. Manhattan.

>>631361
WAIT DON'T CALL 911 THINK ABOUT HOW THIS LOOKS first.

WTF! DID I DO THAT? WAKE UP FROM TERRIBLE DREAM!

...I really hope our mental powers included inflicting horrific hallucinations on other people.

That, or that we got regeneration.

Otherwise we just popped our own head. That, or some sniper literally blew our head off with a high powered rifle. Second possibility is probably worse, because that means someone somehow picked up on us and acted quickly to remove us. And that means they might want / need to silence Lauren, too.

...the threat of that makes me want to keep moving, but I doubt she's in any condition to drive. And if someone really did want her dead, they have a big enough window to do so. Plus, if this hypothesis is wrong, the real-world consequences of running or a cover up aren't workable.

Pulling over, puking, calling 911 is reasonable. Don't tell fucking anyone about the mind reading. Just in case.

>>631370
It looks like somebody just shot Marvin in the face, except that there's no gun and no bullet and his name isn't Marvin. The cops tend to prefer to find out about this kind of thing sooner rather than later.

Activate emergency blinkers, pull over to the side of the road in an orderly manner, come to a complete stop, open the door, lean over so you can puke out the sadness without ruining upholstery, then contact emergency services without further delay. A certain amount of incoherent blubbering is acceptable, just make sure they get enough information about your vehicle's location and appearance to locate you easily.

>>631347
Be traumatised, crash car

>>631402
I'd like to say that when we suggested Quinn's head was going to explode, it happened. I'd like to get the raccoon out of this without also being dead or crippled and I'm hoping somebody gets a time travel power or something.

Okay, Lauren, you're going to calm down, turn on your emergency lights, pull over and call the police.

Now, and I'm serious when I say do this, I'd like you to grasp your hand, and wake up this morning like it was a dream and do it all over again. But do it differently this time.

I told him to go to the hospital, but did he listen? Nooooooo.

>>631346
Quick, think about the last minute not happening!

Time to stop the car, time to call someone but who can we call? 911 sounds like it could help but before we do that, stop the car then get out and breath.

>>631407
i agree if we can find someone to go back in time to save him. i mean if mind powers are a thing so is time travel.

>>RIP Quinn

What do I tell the police?

>>632723
"HIS HEAD FUCKING EXPLODED OH MY GOD AAAAA" should sum it up pretty nicely.
I mean, what caliber gun could even do that? Nothing civilian grade, and anything that big there'd be burn marks at this range. That probably wouldn't hold up under close inspection, though they'll probably hold you for a day over it.
So the only real explanation is SHIT HAPPENED, I DON'T KNOW ??? which honestly seems the best option.

>>632723
Say that your friend was complaining of a headache then his head exploded. Don't mention the mind-reading stuff, you'll just sound crazy and you have no proof whatsoever.

tell them his fucking head exploded. If asked tell them he was complaining about a headache and then BAM. Whatever you tell them just don't say anything about mind reading.

I don't see why mentioning exploding heads is particularly necessary as an opening to the police. You were driving and your friend suddenly suffered traumatic injury, you don't know why. He's dead.

If they ask for details, say you don't want to look but there's blood everywhere. Do you want to look? No. That is reasonable. Don't look.

Hide. If it was a sniper, they may still be in the area, and they may choose to end your life too. I fear this may be a government conspiracy!

Wait don't mention heads exploding they'll think you're crazy and maybe hang up (even though 911 operators arn't supposed to) just tell them he died and you don't know why (which is true).

Just blubber incoherently about your friend being dead and there's blood everywhere. They'll get someone there.

If they ask, no you don't know how. He had a headache, but headaches don't do that.

Again, don't mention the mind reading. They'll either think you're crazy, or worse.

>>632723
Just tell them where you are. Tell them something happened, and your friend's head is gone.

Tell him you're friend was acting weird all morning, woke up awfully, said he could read minds, and that he felt terrible and was getting a headache that was even worse as the day went on before his head exploded in the car.

Listen, I know it's going to be your instinct to not tell the police about the mind reading stuff, but what about what you're going to say to his Mom? What if she has experience with this, or this is something he inherited from his Dad? His Mom deserves the truth and if you hide it from the police then you're making two stories for different people and it will look weirder.

Don't even think you're not telling Quinn's Mom what happened. You know she's going to ask. She deserves the truth.

Ergo, you need to tell the police EVERYTHING or you will sound like a bullshitter to Quinn's Mom.

It's okay to talk about the Mind Reading stuff because it's what Quinn told you. It doesn't matter if they don't believe mind reading is real because you're not saying it is, just that Quinn said he had it and he really held it up as a good magic trick.

Besides, you don't have the emotional fortitude to not say everything to the police. You're a wreck know. Don't hold anything in, it's the only way you WON'T break down.

I feel breaking the car window adjacent to him could at least fabricate a sniper/gunner scenario, even if shoddy.

Face it no one is going to fucking believe anything else.

Do not manipulate the scene in any way. It is a bad idea. For instance, if you broke the window now they would be able to tell, because there would be no glass on the street further back where the incident happened. Also, they could generally tell if his head exploded like that from a bullet, or if it was from internal pressure.

Oh yeah, also don't think about your head exploding, or you might end up like Quinn.

>>632862
Seriously?!

Lauren, close your eyes, count to ten. Focus on survival. Survival is good. Maybe you can save Quinn somehow. Maybe it's impossible. But you'll only find out if you survive. Focus.

Start by specifying where you are, as clearly as possible. Then, blubber something about "he's dead" and "blood everywhere." You don't have to figure out what happened, let alone explain it to anyone; that is a job for professionals. Just stay on the line until the authorities arrive, and whenever someone asks you a question, answer honestly and immediately without thinking about it, especially when the honest answer is that you don't know.

breath slowly try to calm down and say that he is dead

Claim responsibility.

I don't think you've done enough crying yet. Let loose the waterworks.

Acquire parents.

Just go. If anything it will be a distraction which to be honest you could probably use right now

You really shouldn't be by yourself, anyways. Let him take you away from this mess. (Although I don't know how much they expect to get trying to interview a shocked and blood-soaked child. You'd think emergency medical services would be pulling you away to check you over).

Someone needs to call your parents and... oh god. Quinn's mom.

Have them get your parents. And a lawyer. It just will make things easier and you are in no condition to calmly talk this stuff out alone.

Also there might be secret things going on in the background. If Quoll really did have crazy brain powers who knows what else is out there.

Go with the officer, but look around and see if you can see anything suspicious on the way to the car. Also, tell Quinn's parents that he died, just don't tell them his head exploded all over you. That might be TOO shocking.

It will be okay, going to the station is not going to be an instant bad thing. Maybe they really can help if only a little.

>>633704
>Although I don't know how much they expect to get trying to interview a shocked and blood-soaked child.

Something incomprehensibly violent happened and she's the only witness. Sascha might not be expecting much, but there are no better options.

That said, yeah, insist on acquiring some sort of non-police adult supervision before entering an interrogation room, just to minimize the compounding of psychological trauma.

Ask the other cop if Quinn still has a pulse.

Make sure you see his badge, and then go to the police station. Right now, you need someplace that you feel safe.

make sure he is a police officer and go with him. you need to calm down before other actions are taken. also don't tell them he could read minds they might think your crazy.

Oh God... Do I really have to talk to her about this? I am sure at this point she already knows. Would it even be... okay for me to see her again? Maybe it isn't true, but these people, they think there is a chance I killed Quinn. They think I may have murdered him. And I can't even imagine what she thinks. I bet she thinks I did it. I can't. I can't talk to her again. That is too much.

>Parents
>Lawyer up

I already called them. They're on their way and they called a lawyer for me. I told the police I wanted to wait, and they seem to be okay with that. Thankfully, they're all being very sweet. I don't believe that they think I did it, but I guess I can't be too careful.. Especially when there are things I don't plan on mentioning...

Ask if you can go to the bathroom before the interrogation.

Ask him about why everything went wrong.

Things you don't plan on mentioning? Like what? Quinn having the power to read minds? or something else?
Believe me, the more info you give, the more we and the officers will know what really happened to Quinn. If they don't believe you, ask to take a lie detector test.

>>638179
A) Lie detectors don't actually work and B) Something can be untrue but not a lie if you sincerely believe it due to, say, being insane (which is what they will probably think if we go on about mind reading).

So far I didn't really get to say anything... they were nice enough to let me use the office showers to get the blood off of me... After that they sat me here. The officer in front of me just sat down. He looks a bit puzzled to what his collegues described to him. Can't blame him, an exploded head isn't something you see every day...

>Wait to see if he says something. If he doesn't, or after that, ask to go to the bathroom.

He doesn't look like he plans to say anything soon.

„I don't think I need a bathroom break anymore...“

Oh god I hope the camera caught that: you doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that could cause a head explosion!

Faint.

You might be infected with something.

Ask for quarantine, this isn't your fault. Maybe you're immune to whatever telepathy-explosion virus Quinn caught.

Or maybe you're stuck in an eternal nightmare where everyone you want to talk to explodes.

Either way, act natural and start screaming.

Proceed to fall down in a puddle of your piss.

Scream, collapse, fall to the floor.

Yell incoherently at anyone who comes in to stay away, everyone keeps exploding.

Cry.

...really isn't a good situation. If you aren't shot in a moment because they think you're a cop-killer, you're probably going to spend the rest of your life in some secret government lab. What else are they going to do with someone who makes heads blow up? You can't be allowed near anyone ever again.

>>643046
Sir, am I hallucinating from PTSD or is your head missing?

If it IS, that means it's contagious, which means the CDC is going to show up soon!

...Did you hear a sound when his head popped, like when Quoll died?
This almost seems weirdly sudden.
Okay.
Someone is going to come in here if this guy's head exploded. Close your eyes, and listen carefully for their voices.
Pick a voice, perferably one you don't reconize, and open your eyes while facing him and focus on him.
IF WE ARE LUCKY, only that person will be affected, and we can plan from there.

>>643046
Oh. Great. You appear to be able to explode heads, and it's uncontrollable like Quinn's power was. Wanna bet a bunch of other people have psychic powers now, all over the world? Well, it's either that or Quinn's power infected you somehow and mutated into this exploding head thing instead of mind-reading.

Were you looking at him when it happened? Thinking about him? You have to find a common thread between Quinn's death and the cop's death, figure out how the power is triggered so you can avoid doing it.

>>643046
Okay, this might be one of two things, a virus kinda deal has broken out that makes people's heads explode, you have a superpower yourself, or this is just a hallucination brought on by your recent permanent scarring... so 3 things really.

Have your head explode.

Knock yourself unconscious!

>>643153

NO STOP DON'T DO THAT

>I DID THIS?!
You don't know that. You might have though. You're certainly a common element in the two head-exploding cases. (And there are certainly going to be people who think you did it, now).

>WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?!
You can't do much. Interrogation rooms lock from the outside, generally. And even if you did run out of the room, covered in a new layer of brains and blood, the cops out there would stop you.

>>643153
Ignore this one~

Fall unconscious.

>>643150
Curl up in the corner.

Wake up.

There's only one way to make up for exploding his head, and only one way to stop yourself from exploding others' heads.

Die.

Interrogation rooms have security cameras, right? they can plainly see it wasn't your fault, right?

Explode all the heads.

Take your rightful place as the Bringer of Civilization's End.

Wait a minute. This seems too coincidental, isn't it? Maybe Quinn had implanted the idea of head-explosion in your brain and now it won't get off. Maybe you're actually just rocking yourself in a foetal position back and forth in the car. Quinn and this imaginary cop might be still alive.
Gotta get a grip.

The obvious choice is to go catatonic, if you just shut off your mind to the outside world then whatever you did won't happen again.

Use your newfound power to become the Apex Predator. Record yourself at all times. Take revenge on abusive father.

...Beware of statues holding spears.

Its uncontrollable at the moment even if you did kill anyone its not your fault you had no previous knowledge about this ability. And there is still the chance that you didn't do it. Calm down what if the stress is the cause to triggering it or maybe some kind of emotion that can connect both kills if you did do it.

Her nose not being white on previous post was just a thing I forgot, not a sign that it wasn't real or anything.

Oh good, he's not dead.

TIME TO WAKE UP. Concentrate on your home, use the trauma to enhance your focus.

>>643304
You mean the car, and hope she hasn't crashed by now.

Or better yet, think about talking with Quinn. Just like usual, not about this crazy stuff.

Bury head in hands, collapse in relief.

So wait, did you just imagined Quinn's head exploding and called the police for nothing? oh geez, they might think your crazy if that was the case!

We need two things; a strong drink and some sleep. To obtain these essential items we have to leave the police office. It is now time to leave.

strong drink? No.
Self medication with alcohol is bad
and can leads to future long term problems.

Stop thinking about things
live in the moment
get home as soon as possible and meditate

Oookay, now's a good time to take a deep breath, and relax.
Focus on your breathing for a bit, inhaaaallleee...hold it as long as you can, then exhale, and release it all.
inhale, exhale.

Quick, before the cop leaves, ask if his head actually exploded or did you imagine that. You need another perspective, and he needs to know how badly you're taking this.

You should ask to go to sleep. Having a rest will help you calm down and will also help you get your thoughts back on track.

Do you remember the trip to the police station, or was that like some sort of daydream? Or vision of the future? If you think it might be a vision then you should decline to go to the station.

oh shit maybe Quinn accidentally put some kinda psychic suggestion on you when he was thinking about head explosions and this is all a hallucination

„Miss Kennedy? Your parents are outside the station to pick you up. You're free to leave now.“

… What.

„Thank you.“

>and I'm hoping somebody gets a time travel power or something.

You are still confused, but you feel like you should play along. You leave the room, pick up your clothes and other items at the registration table. The lady is nice to you. It's like you didn't just report your best friends head explode... You didn't really listen, but they said something about being sorry about your car and they'll take care of the rest. As you walk out of the station you suddenly feel a cold shiver.

„Calm down dear, it'll be alright. Just get some rest for now. Trust me.“

Woah...that was weird... like... I remembered Nicole telling me that it'll be fine? Just... what is going on...

„My sweet baby!“

„Mom!“

I hug her tightly, dad is just standing there looking dissappointed.

„Don't worry about the car, we'll get you a new one. I'm just glad you didn't get hurt. The crash wasn't your fault.“

Crash??? What?

„Quinn! What about Quinn?“


„Quinn? Oh, your litle Quoll friend? Was he with you? The police said you were alone when they found you passed out in your car.“

Passed out in my car...

„Oh, I hope he's alright, maybe we should call-“

„Ah! Nevermind mom! I meant to meet him, he probably went home when I didn't show up. I'll talk to him later. Let's... let's go home for now! I need a good nights rest.“

„Whatever you say sweetheart~“

>Stop thinking about things - live in the moment - get home as soon as possible and meditate
>You should ask to go to sleep. Having a rest will help you calm down and will also help you get your thoughts back on track.

Of course you are worried about Quinn, but Nicole said it'll be fine... And you're way to confused to think about anything now. Don't want any more heads to explode. Let's just go home and sleep. We'll see what the morning brings.

Tell your parents what happened. Even if they don't believe that your friend's head exploded, they will likely understand that you are suffering from shock, trauma, horror, anxiety, and other such symptoms of a near-death experience.

P.S. You forgot to add light makeup to Lauren's nose again.

I don't think it would help to tell your mother, but it might help to call Quinn to make sure he is indeed ok.

Here's a suggestion, Lauren stop changing your fur pattern.

>>643963
...did someone alter reality? Shit's weird! Call Quinn as soon as you can, find out what happened today from his perspective.

Wait, who's Nicole?

>It's like you didn't just report your best friends head explode..
>The police said you were alone when they found you passed out in your car.
Have... have you been hallucinating? Did you crash because you're seeing things and none of it really happened?

Oh god. That's better than if he's dead but... something could be really wrong with you.

>Woah...that was weird... like... I remembered Nicole telling me that it'll be fine? Just... what is going on...
Maybe... if Quinn could read your mind, she has powers too? Maybe she changed everything back to normal? Saved Quinn's life?

>go home and sleep
You're calling him first thing tomorrow.

Okay, if Nicole is Quinn's mom, then... bullshit psychic powers must run in the family. You should trust her, but also try to contact her later.

>>643973
Pretty much this. Or the first part anyway. (Nicole is Quinn's mom.)

Also: was there a time she told you that, for you to remember, or...?

Are you crazy?! I don't even know if it DID happen right now. No way I'm going to tell my parents about it.

>I don't think it would help to tell your mother, but it might help to call Quinn to make sure he is indeed ok.

That's right, I should contact Quinn... but Nicole said it would be fine and that I should rest for today...

>You should trust her, but also try to contact her later.
>You're calling him first thing tomorrow.

Yes...

>Did you crash because you're seeing things and none of it really happened?

I thought about this. Quinn's message on my phone is still there, what if I had the crash and just imagined all of this...But then there would be messages nagging me where I am...right?

>was there a time she told you that, for you to remember, or...?

That's the weird bit! It felt like I remembered her saying it... but I don't know when she could've said something like that... Quinn and I never really got in trouble. ARGH My head's all messed up- I..I shouldn't think about messed up heads... I'll just try to go to sleep for now.

Goodnight thoughts. Give me some rest...

Oh, it's my turn huh? I understand that you're confused. It all happened pretty fast. Which was good for me I guess.

>So.... who are you, and why are you so tired?

I'm Martin McBark I am tired because Nicole and I just finished a cover up job.

We had to save a fellow "user" she made quite a mess! You wouldn't believe it if I told you haha, but she's a real cutie and I owed Nicole a favour. Then again, all users owe her in a way, with her being the head of our little family.

So what's the deal with Quinn? He alive or not?

Okay...

So, what does this have to do with Quinn's head exploding?

Because we've been unnerved about that for two @#$%ing months.

Psychic shenanigans, we are all but sick of them.

Do you guys want the short explanation (all in one text post) or a long detailed one(with images)?

Pretty, pretty pictures.

Hopefully biased towards preventing people's heads from blowing up in the future.

>We demand overexplanation.

Let's start with our powers. For this cover up you need to know about Nicole, me, Quinn and Lauren. To tell the truth, we aren't sure yet about Laurens power.

Quinns power is mind reading. Nicole confirmed it this morning when her son reacted to her thoughts. She said he only started to develop it today.
His head exploding wasn't caused from overuse though. That was due to Laurens ability. Though we're not sure what exactly it is yet. I kinda hope it's not head popping, or else I'll have a lot of work to do untill she can controll it.

Nicole can controll peoples memory. She's been using her power for a while now, so she can change a lot. I am not sure how much exactly though.
My time controll is for a few minutes only. It drains a lot of energy as well since I'm not that used to it either.

Before I continue let's answer the main question here.

>So what's the deal with Quinn? He alive or not?

Since I can only go back in time for a few minutes, I couldn't fully restore him yet. At the moment he is frozen in time. So he is neither alive nor dead.

Next big question is how are you talking to us? I wasn't even aware that you people were aware of us.

Do you shout "ZA WARUDO" or "MADE IN HEAVEN" when you time control?

>I am not sure how much exactly though.
Probably because you can't trust how much you remember about her powers. Cause she could have memory hacked you.

>Since I can only go back in time for a few minutes, I couldn't fully restore him yet. At the moment he is frozen in time. So he is neither alive nor dead.
So... does that mean you're gonna bring him back in stages? Keep rewinding him a few minutes when you have the strength until he isn't dead?

Also I guess you actually saved that cop's life.

Memory hacking the cops is useful, but there's a lot of stuff to follow up on. Need to alter or get rid of all the physical records, the evidence bags, any photos or recordings of the crime scene (body cameras?), find the 911 dispatcher, get her memory, alter or get rid of the recording of the 911 call...

Heck, there's still a car covered in blood and brains, too.

Unless altering memories means she can program the cops to alter evidence for her and then forget doing it, I'm not sure how she's supposed to get all the pieces.

Suggestions are just the 'voices' of the 'observers' out there, that us Users hear sometimes. We can hear you telling us what to do like thoughts in our heads, so we might listen and we might not, plus we can respond with our own thoughts like I am now. Though uhh not all of us hear you, it's more like hearing our own subconcious to them, so if someones not responding don't start getting upset. I have no trouble hearing you though I... I have been around for a while. Being a time wizard and stuff haha... ha..

>>644167
...are you Merlin?

>>644167
Let me guess. You're immortal? Slowing down the aging process is probably the first thing I'd do too if I had time control powers. Not much practice with reversing time though? How long do you think it'll be before you can get Quinn's head back together?

Also, are you okay? You seem a little fatigued.

So can you hear us when we are currently visiting other people? (Is that you you learned about the head exploding thing?)

How common are Users?

>>644153
Ouch. Still, you seem to have a good handle on things. We've dealt with worse odds.

So, what manner of technology / psionic / supernatural / eldritch did you screw up to get to this point? I mean, the odds of finding three natural high-level power users in the same city are likely low, so I'm guessing that there is a specific procedure required to obtain powers.

Also, can you give us a more detailed analysis of your power? Time isn't exactly a constant, so having a better grasp on how space-time reacts to your power might give us a better handle on tactics.

Call us TGChan; that's the name of the server hub that we use to connect to clients ("users") like yourself.

>>644167
First priority: you are not allowed anywhere near Lauren until her whatever is under control. We can't have the one guy who can fix head explosions head exploded.

>THANK YOU!
Um. You're welcome?

So tell us, what are you guys using your powers for? to be a hero? take over the world? for fun? either way, we will help you out because you guys are the main characters!

Wouldn't altering time also alter memories?

idea, lauren causes psy-feedback, only users, even low power ones, are effected. right now her power results in a resonance with the other user causing them to pop. will perhaps become a power amplification power once it's under control.

>>644270
I think you got it in one. That would explain why that one officer got the calamari napalm-cracker.

So, maybe you should look into this. If Lauren can identify power users by killing them... Yep, she is SO going to need safeguard augmentations and two acres of sedatives. But you should be able to train her, and either way, you get to record all power users in the city!

>>644270
Does that mean the cop is a user?

>>644167
...so...uh...what happens now? I mean Quinn is still dead (half dead?), Lauren is going between full on panic attacks and just barely keeping it together and seeing what her powers are that's.... going to be a bitch to deal with to say the least, Quinn's mom seems to be taking his death rather well which is actually freaking me out a little.

I guess what I'm asking is what's the next step?

Nicole had me follow her son around all morning, things were going fine, then he grabbed a ride and I lost him. Once I caught up to them the police were there and Quinn... god, poor Nicole, I'm also surprised at how calm she was though. All I had to do was keep time frozen while Nicole blanked all of the cops there, and I took the car. After scrubbing all the brain and mush from the seats, at least as much as I could. Let's hope they won't use luminol on a car crash scene. After that I just crashed the thing into a tree, made it seem like a car crash, then we headed over to the station to see if Lauren was fine. We're just lucky we got there in time to stop another mess she made... Nicole got to work on all the cops in the station then. Afterwards Lauren's parents showed up and finally got her out of there. I don't really know what she did with Lauren though, poor girl, but she said she kept most of her memories because it will make things easier later... I HAVE to fix Quinn, no one should have to deal with a guilt like she is now...

That is true. But I trust her, so if she did it I'm sure she had a reason for it.

>So... does that mean you're gonna bring him back in stages? Keep rewinding him a few minutes when you have the strength until he isn't dead?

That is the plan. Yes. I'm not sure how long it'll take though.

Yes I did. Too bad he'll never know about it haha.

>Let me guess. You're immortal? Slowing down the aging process is probably the first thing I'd do too if I had time control powers. Not much practice with reversing time though?

That's it. I can slow time down, I can stop time. But I am really not that good in reversing time... it's troublesome.

>Also, are you okay? You seem a little fatigued.

I've been using my power all day, specially keeping Quinn stopped is draining it right now... Cleaning the car also took some effort. I need to stay awake for Quinn...

>So can you hear us when we are currently visiting other people? (Is that you you learned about the head exploding thing?)

No, I can only hear you when you're talking to me. Like I said before I learned about the head exploding due to following them.

>How common are Users?

We're around. The family is big. Of course there are some we don't know yet, but when we find someone else with powers we try to help him to hide it from public.

>So, what manner of technology / psionic / supernatural / eldritch did you screw up to get to this point? I mean, the odds of finding three natural high-level power users in the same city are likely low, so I'm guessing that there is a specific procedure required to obtain powers.

I... I don't know. I also don't know if Nicole knows. We just start to develop these powers over time. I don't know if Quinn got them because Nicole is his mom. And we also didn't expect Lauren to start developing powers. That was a surprise!

>Also, can you give us a more detailed analysis of your power? Time isn't exactly a constant, so having a better grasp on how space-time reacts to your power might give us a better handle on tactics.

I don't know if I stop the time for the entire world. I can however make closed spaces in which I stop or slow time. Or in Quinn's case, turn it back. We're trying not to use it too much because we don't know about the consequences.

>First priority: you are not allowed anywhere near Lauren until her whatever is under control. We can't have the one guy who can fix head explosions head exploded.

Yes. … She's really cute though, I wonder if Quinn and her have a thing.

>So tell us, what are you guys using your powers for? to be a hero? take over the world? for fun? either way, we will help you out because you guys are the main characters!

Eeh? I've never been a main character before. Haha. Well, to tell the truth we're just trying to live a normal life. We use our powers mainly to hide the fact that we have powers. Of course when something bad happens that we can prevent we do that. Like, slowing time down for everything around me and being fast enough to stop a nice girl from being run over by a car.

>Wouldn't altering time also alter memories?

No. It just erases memories, only for not users though.

>idea, lauren causes psy-feedback, only users, even low power ones, are effected. right now her power results in a resonance with the other user causing them to pop. will perhaps become a power amplification power once it's under control.

>Does that mean the cop is a user?

Oooh, that would be nice! This way we can determine who has powers. But it would also mean that we have to keep an eye on the police officer she popped. We don't really keep a record on users. If they need our help they come to us. If they go out of control we … help them.

>>644313
Dude, what, she's like 19?
You're... I don't know old. What age are you physically?
I figured you and Nicole would have been a thing, really.

There are things in her head you don't wanna know. Poor Quinn is gonna have to know most of it.

Do you know how many sex things he's going to hear, man? From old people, family members, etc.

Odds are that Quinn reading Lauren's mind directly so much probably gave her a kickstart to her power, and made it a violent defense instead of what it's normally supposed to be. Or who knows, maybe Quinn's mind read power actually has to ability to make user's if he uses it too much. That's weird, but who knows what kind of radiation or weird science waves your powers all make. I'm sure there's no scientist around you, you guys are probably infecting more people into users and there's no way to actually test it.

So is it common for new users to just start using their powers with no ability to control it? I could imagine you or Nicole really making some messes if your powers just activated without you having any sense of control over them.

Oh shit, we're going to go full Project Tahiti on Quinn, won't we?
