UN: JUSTSOPHIE | TEXT + TELEPATHY

[sophielicious]

running a self-serving survey. if you hate the thought of someone talking to you in your mind, respond to this message with an x.

edit: ugh, fine. if you're OKAY with someone talking in your mind, respond with an y.

(A day later, those who hadn't replied to it with the 'X' but replied with a 'Y' and people she knows will receive a sultry, raspy voice in their brain. There's some static with it, unfortunately, her powers have been glitchy since they returned from The War.)

/Hi. It's Sophie, you know, Cuckoo. Sorry for the brain static, blame Aurora for letting that vent open in the first place, but that aside, if you are hearing me, it's because of that post, and this is important.

I don't trust Aurora, and I'm sure plenty of you don't either; that's why we are talking here. I scanned the whole place from top to bottom. Scylla actually did leave, so that is confirmed. If any of you had contact with Scylla and would be willing to let me take a look at it, please let me know so I can keep a record. I'm also sure he's a telepath like me, so I want to make sure everyone who has met him has their brain in place.

Also, if anyone knows how I can reach him, that'd be fantastic. I'd probably come back with at least something to report. I asked Aurora if she could pass down a message, but again, I don't trust her to do it, or with anything, really.

So, yeah, remember that thing I keep talking about, community being important and stuff? Let's get on that. Also, ugh, do me a favor and pass the word to the cowards who responded with an 'X'. Also, to respond to me, just think, man, start with my name, so I can actually filter you guys. And don't talk out loud. You guys just look weird when you do that./

Didn't meet him and can't reach him, unfortunately, but you're right about what I think of Aurora.

Also, I don't hate this way of talking, but I'd appreciate if you wouldn't otherwise read my mind without permission. Though I am curious if you'd hear words or see pictures or what if you did.

EDITED

/I can't read her, I don't trust her.

Depends on how you think. and I don't. I ignore all of you like background bar chatter./

lol I autopiloted the formatting and then was like WAIT—

[newsbeat]

[He will now take a minute to shake off the mental text formatting. Okay good.]

/At all? Hmm. I guess it could be an AI thing. Or that's what they'd want us to believe.

Oh, I know how that is. It's the same with me and super hearing. In any case I appreciate it.

X

I really think this should be opt-in rather than opt-out.

[sophielicious]

i didn't ask for your opinion. i asked for an x. you gave me your x. cool, right, how that works?

[ornithologist]

A survey that isn't looking for opinions sounds like a monologue.

Never, ever make an attempt to let yourself into my head. I do not know why this is something you are asking others to opt out of. This should be something one gives permission to before it is done.

[sophielicious]

who the fuck are you again

FINE i can hear TWO whole yappers. you two happy now?

[brat]

Two. I know of several individuals who would opt out immediately but may not wish to reach out to an idiot who thinks she can just allow herself into others' minds on a whim.

I am trained to be able to block out any potential telepaths. Not everyone has that luxury. You are in the wrong.

look look she's learning sort of

[reincarnesiac]

/Thinking 'why' your direction but I know you know I'm good with this. What're you leading into?/

[sophielicious]

/Oh, look, a sparkle of sunshine! I'm gonna need you. I have a good-bad idea. Maybe.

How about you boost me, I boost Quentin or, uh, Kid Omega, and we try to find him?/

X for anything that isn't important. Y if there's information you need to exchange that should be made known.

[sophielicious]

perfect answer.

[repaintress]

[ The voice that comes through Sophie's telepathy lacks its usual energy and bite. Words and images alike are muted, quiet, and sentences are short. Exhausted. Occasionally, Sophie receives a sense that Clea has a splitting headache and roiling nausea, but Clea tries not to focus on those unpleasant sensations. ]

/I do not believe Aurora is actively malicious, but that does not mean she is trustworthy. I trust neither Echo nor Scylla. I had contact. It was unpleasant. Are you certain you should be doing this right now?

Please be polite with Monsieur Finch. I am fond of him./

[sophielicious]

(Girly... Rest. You need rest.)

/Even so. If you don't trust Echo, then you can't trust Aurora, right? You can blame the bearer of bad tidings AND the bad tidings. It's called multitasking.

I'm fine. Can I take a look and also scan you to see if he left any seeds of doom or anything?

Seriously? Are you asking me to play nice?/

un: magik

[lingeringshadow]

Can I still opt out?

[She's kidding!!!]

[sophielicious]

actually you should

god i hate your brain

telepathy.

[overconfidently]

You know searching out another telepath isn't always a good idea.

( even if he's not physically around, that doesn't mean he doesn't pay attention. )

[sophielicious]

/Oh, so now you're talking to me. Fun.

Where the fuck have you been?/

telepathy;

[laserguy]

Do I even get a choice in this?

[Despite the words though... he really doesn't sound that grumpy. Maybe he's also glad for Sophie that she's feeling back to normal, at least compared to before.]

[sophielicious]

/In... What? Not talking outloud? You know how it works, dummy./

un: SquirrelPower

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

y!

how does the whole telepathy thing work, out of curiousity? is it like calling someone up on the phone, except the phone is their brain? or do you get to hear what's going on inside people's brains as background noise when you figuratively call 'em up?

because if it's the latter, sorry not sorry, you're gonna get a LOT of pop music and computer science jargon

Re: un: SquirrelPower

[sophielicious]

both? think of it as hearing. you just hear, right?

and i really do not pay attention to you guys but i can't complain with good radio unless you look choruses then im mad by principle?

X

Thanks for asking first, a lot of people probably wouldn't have bothered.

Mind if I ask why?

[sophielicious]

i think the answer is SO clear so let me be clearer, cripes man

because i can talk like that, which i find it preferrable when i want information to be guarded, do you understand?
