Right. Ssso...who's power is it to know when people are hungry downstairs? Even when you like, uh. Don't really care ever? Is this just limited to food, or am I going to end up knowing everybody's business in a couple days? 'Cause I don't know how cool I'd be with that.

[beat.]

Buh. I don't even remember what I was gonna...Oh, yeah--

[YA HOUSE & TITANS FILTER:]

Scarab filters are just gone. I have no idea how much stuff I had protected? But it'd be a really good idea to backtrack on what might be kind of problematic in the open? And delete it. Or...re-lock it or something. I've only found a few things on my part.

...Yyeah.

[/filters.]

[another beat. glumly:]

I don't know if trading up one voice in my head for...everyone else's is such a great thing, but, you know? The radio silence before that was even creepier. I don't know what that says about me now, but...yeah. Okay. Let's just ramble on forever, Jaime.

Adios.

Soooo. Your new power is-- knowing when people are hungry? What kinda super power is that anyway?

hellyeah o/

[scarabsuited]

I guess it's the kind that wants me to eat more or...reaffirm my undying dislike of salad?

But either way? I do not want to know people's Taco Bell cravings. Bleaugh.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess it's sorta cool! In a 1-800 number psychic kinda way.

[ Pause. ]

So. What am I hungry for? Can you like, sense it?

[scarabsuited]

[without missing a beat:] Ben and Jerry's. Something with cocolate in it.

[objectiondenied.livejournal.com]

Still no luck on figuring out who has yours?

siryessir

[scarabsuited]

Well, I haven't seen anybody particularly blue, black, and bug all over lately. I have no way of even knowing for sure if the Scarab ever left. I mean. When my mom took me to the doctor when I first came back with it, Scarab never showed up on any x-rays or scans. So I...don't really have a way of knowing for sure.

[beat.] Skeets could tell, but he's not here.

[objectiondenied.livejournal.com]

Probably better to hope it's taking a long deserved nap.

Skeets? Is he a technopath?

[emperorshand.livejournal.com]

Have you tried to be in any crowded areas?

[scarabsuited]

How's high school work for crowded?

[emperorshand.livejournal.com]

Did you only sense hunger, or anything else?

You should rest or something, man. There's nothing worse than a stressed-out psychic.

[scarabsuited]

[kind of flipping out a little kinda maybe:]

More like stressed-out...making-things-floaty-and...anti-gravity and...buh...

[cantyouhearmy.livejournal.com]

Like. Telekinesis. Um. Dude. Do you have adult supervision? Are you taking deep breaths? DO you need an intervention?

staring stupidly at the floor. And then-- because he can sense things now-- at Ben. Squinting.]

...You told him to throw nuts at me?

action;

[taughttolisten.livejournal.com]

[pause.

and then, but NOT OUT LOUD:]

Because only a Jedi, or someone with powers very like the Jedi, would have been able to stop them.

[imonabike.livejournal.com]

... Talk about your useless power, before you say "no shit".

[scarabsuited]

Tell me about it, man.

...Well, not really. My head hurts enough.

[imonabike.livejournal.com]

Why am I already trying to think of a use for it?

Sorry.

/slowly creeps in on that filter

[notlikeanyone]

I've gone over as many posts as I could find to re-encrypt them, though my coding's probably not quite as good as Scarab's.

You okay?

*seeing.

[scarabsuited]

[beat.]

Well, uh.

The Force is strong with this one.


...'This one' being me.

[Yup have a long pause.]

Seriously?
