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./

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?

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.

[sophielicious]

/She doesn't have a brain. What am I, Forge? Nothing I can do there. What I can do is if we have a person who has one. And look at that, finally a person. Bonus that he's cute.

Yeah, no worries, you got it./

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?

[ornithologist]

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

[sophielicious]

since you and whoever the hell complained, i changed the options to my survey. happy?

[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.

[sophielicious]

i literally am not gonna argue with you, i got better shit to do. i already changed the parameters. thank you for your input and you have a great day.

[ornithologist]

Thank you, I do appreciate that. May I ask why you wished to speak telepathically? I assume for security reasons?

[sophielicious]

perhaps.

[brat]

Have the day you deserve.

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?/

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

[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?/

[sophielicious]

perfect answer.

[ornithologist]

[ A savvy answer. Well, he does have an alternate network he developed on home-made devices, but he's not about to share that... so the point is taken. ]

I see. It is regrettable that Aurora's programming is such that we cannot ensure our own privacy on network devices.

Telepathy does seem a viable alternative.

[sophielicious]

exactly what i'm thinking.

[reincarnesiac]

/Ooh those are sadly some of my favorite kinds.

Sounds like what we can at least try, when are we doing this? I'd assume as soon as possible before he's who knows how far away?/

[sophielicious]

/Let me run the plan by him, but if we are, definitely as soon as possible./

[reincarnesiac]

/Let me know and I'll be wherever you need me!/

[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./
