5th Speculation: Information sought

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

So, from what I understand, Lavi and Sasuke are likely the best sources, but if anyone has any info, that would be helpful. I know there are places here rumored to be haunted, and then thare are places that are haunted. Does anyone know why? It's most likely related to why this place is the way it is anyways, but...I was wondering about more specific information.

See if there's anything that might be helpful in figuring out what happened.

[Becca isn't sure why she's so at ease here, but perhaps she'll have to visit more often.]

There aren't any at all. Just phonies who scam people.

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

[Trust me, Raven could project creepy too, she just would rather you were at ease, since this is something you're obviously struggling there with.]

Probably anyone who has genuine gifts, hides 'em. Not entirely a bad idea, as people often fear what they don't get, and there are many who'd take advantage of the abilities in the wrong way.

[pencilpremonition]

Yeah... People would think I was crazy if I told anyone. Or the military would come and take me away and lock me up for science.

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

I don't think you're crazy. Where I'm from, meta abilities aren't uncommon. I think of the residents here, you wouldn't be unusual either.

[pencilpremonition]

It...doesn't matter now.

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

...why not?

[pencilpremonition]

She took it... I feel blind.

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

...ah...I'm...sorry. I've lost my powers before too, and it's a difficult thing to deal with.

[Not really much more she can say but that...]

[pencilpremonition]

What are your powers like?

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

Kind of varied, in some ways. I was raised in another dimension...so...

[Have a shrug.]

They resemble telekinesis, mostly. I can also levitate. I meditate though, daily, to keep myself centered.

[All true--we'll just ignore that it's not the whole story, as there's no need to go into that really.]

[pencilpremonition]

That's amazing... Does meditating really help you with them?

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

[Tricky question, that. Yes and no. ^^]

Meditating helps me which helps me deal with them.

[pencilpremonition]

Oh.

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

Did you have trouble with your abilities?

[pencilpremonition]

As much as I need them to function... I always hated them at the same time.

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

Understandable. There are times I hate mine too.

[Sometimes she hates the fact she was even born, believe her.]

[pencilpremonition]

Powers suck in general, I think.

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

Some of them, and sometimes. It's like...any ability that makes one different. Or even just a part of 'living', I suppose. Everyone has days when they hate something about themselves. It doesn't have to be a special ability out of the ordinary, to make someone unhappy about it.

[pencilpremonition]

I guess. It's kind of stupid to hate something that's not actually hurting you, though.

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

People hate stupid stuff all the time, and fear it.

[Another shrug.]

It's part of life, part of humanity really. It's also likely a lot of them see whatever it is they dislike, as hurting them--even if another person would disagree.

[pencilpremonition]

People don't know how good they have it.

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

[There might or might not be a faint smile under the cowl, not that it's easy to tell.]

True, and some would say you don't know how lucky you were to have precognition. Some would say you were lucky to have ONLY that, instead of many other things as well.

It's all about perspective, lots of times. That, and if someone can look at someone else's viewpoint and perspective. Put themselves in another's place, as it were.

[pencilpremonition]

...Do you know how many times I've seen my dead body?

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

Believe me, I can empathize. I've....been raised with the idea that after a certain birthday of mine, my father will come to Earth, using me as a portal, to destroy the world. Nothing I can do to prevent it. I've seen it, the visions, I know what's go come...

[Well, at least until she was brought here to Nesreca...in a different world, apparently--then again, maybe Trigon could find her here, too. Raven didn't have that much hope, really...]

To us...it's a mixed bag, whether we hate our abilities. But to someone who hasn't had that, who doesn't think about the bad, as well as the good...they wouldn't see it the way we do.

[pencilpremonition]

[Wait wait what]

You...you...what? That's horrible!
