I13DT - Recharging Batteries

The seer regarded her for a long moment. I appreciate your offer, but while your heart is great, I do not think this is the time for you to help me. Perhaps in the future, time is a tricky thing that way.

by **Haley Crusek** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 9:56 pm

Okay... she said, a bit disappointed.

She stood there awkwardly in silence. Is there...uh...anything I can do?

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 9:57 pm

Perhaps pass on what you have seen here to someone who can help. I am in need of a messenger.

by **Haley Crusek** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 10:31 pm

Okay...I can do that. I can think of a couple of people who could help... she nodded.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 10:34 pm

The huntress and I appreciate it. Do you think you can find your way back out?

by **Haley Crusek** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 10:37 pm

I think so...I'll come back later with help... she said, bowing her head lightly before starting to head out. It was nice to meet you both.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 10:45 pm

A pleasure to meet you as well.

Getting back out wasn't particularly difficult. The door was still easy to see and just as open as it had been before. As Haley got back to her own body, Miranda gave a snort and raised her head. "Oh, I'm sorry. I must have drifted off. You're... Haley, right?"

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 12:04 am

"That's me," she smiled weakly, a dull ache in her head now from the exertion. "Miranda?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 8:08 am

"That's what they call me," she said with a smile. "Everything okay?"

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 9:17 am

"I uh...well you started talking to me telepathically after you wouldn't talk like this, and you sort of invited me in, sorta...I kinda spent a while in your head, in your mindscape I guess."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 12:42 pm

"Miss Weaver mentioned something about those in a tutoring session the other day."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 3:35 pm

"Your's is....kinda fucked up. No offense. Are you...like okay and stuff?"

Haley was super tactful.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 3:39 pm

"My only memories prior to being rescued are of a research facility where I was kept in a cell with a collar that made me blind unless they were performing operations or other assorted tests on me. I'd wager to say that I'm probably far from 'okay'. But I'll live."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 3:42 pm

"Oh my god all the rumors were true... that's horrible! It's...that makes your mindscape make a lot more sense..."

Haley sat down on a chair nearby. "I'm so sorry that happened to you. At least you're like...safe now and stuff."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 3:43 pm

"There are rumors about me?"

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 3:51 pm

"Just that you and the other new guy got rescued from some creepy place by the X-Men." she added quickly.

"We sort of attract trouble ourselves. We actually just got kidnapped a week or two ago."

"....while we were off campus and stuff. It's totally safe here."

Unless you get swapped into the wrong body by a magic spell

Haley chewed her lip, wondering if she needed a shovel to dig herself deeper into the hole she was in.

"Uh. So...but you're a teep, too? And you can see because of it?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 3:55 pm

"They called me a clairvoyant in the infirmary. For some reason, Miss Weaver thought that was... I don't know what the word is. But I have some telepathic abilities too."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 4:18 pm

"So you can like... see the future?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 4:19 pm

"I don't know. Miss Weaver says it's possible, but all I know is I 'see'."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 6:03 pm

"I'm way better at my TK than my telepathy. All it does is seem to give me headaches."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 6:06 pm

"TK?"

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 6:36 pm

Haley demonstrated by gently lifting the couch Miranda sat on off the floor and then back down again. "TK. Telekinesis."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 6:46 pm

"Oh! Cool!" Still, she was gripping the cushion of the couch with one hand.

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:01 pm

"It's cool. I'm supposed to be really really powerful someday or something. Right now it's hard to control, though. I break a lot of things with my brain if I get pissed off."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:01 pm

"I'll remember to stay on your good side."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:10 pm

"I think you're probably safe," she smiled.

"What do you do for fun?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:11 pm

"Draw some, read some. I'm kind of catching up on things."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:17 pm

"How are classes? They're a lot tougher for me than they were back home."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:19 pm

"I don't really have any frame of reference. They don't seem too bad though."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:25 pm

"History is the worst...you'd think it would be cooler since Mr. Sackville literally experienced a lot of it first-hand but he just stands up there and drones on sometimes."

And even though he dresses like it's like 1970 he's like...actually kind of good looking.

She may have thought that one a bit loudly.

"The professors are all pretty cool though once you get to know them. Professor Weaver and Professor McManus both sometimes help me with my telepathy."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:28 pm

"I had a tutoring session with Professor Weaver. She's helping me get a handle on what I can do."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:34 pm

"It helps a lot. And honestly, power control is pretty helpful too. Ms. Kaltiera is kind of a bitch sometimes, but she's got good advice usually. Mr. Gabriel is really, really hot."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:39 pm

"Miss Kaltiera was on the team that rescued me. I haven't met Mister Gabriel yet."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:43 pm

"She gave like the entire class detentions one day for almost nothing at all. I'm sure she's good at doing the X-Men thing though. She's like...a werewolf and stuff. It's scary. She lectures us about control and why it's important. And it kinda is in her case, and like, my case too I guess."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:49 pm

"Control seems to be a big thing around here."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 8:25 pm

"Yeah...probably since our powers could really be pretty dangerous."

"Have you talked with Ms. Weaver about your mindscape?" she said after a moment's hesitation.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 8:26 pm

"She mentioned maybe having a telepath look at it, but she was concerned about the memories it might dredge up."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 8:27 pm

"Well...I'm a telepath...but uh.... I'm not very good at it..."

She chewed her lip. "I dunno if it's like... good or bad to tell someone what you see in their own mind, you know? You want me to talk to her or one of the other teachers about it though?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 8:28 pm

Miranda thought about it in silence for a bit. "Probably for the best if you talk to someone else. As curious as I am, I'm not sure I'm ready for that."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 10:25 pm

"Yeah...I'll...I'll bring it up with someone else."

"Have you gotten to see the Danger Room yet?"
