[Sara is in the oxygen garden today, apparently alone - maybe Cid isn't with her, or maybe he's nearby getting dirty or something, who knows. But Sara looks even more wary than usual as she looks at the camera. The camera turns, and anyone watching this can see that she's got a plain silver lighter - and it's floating a couple inches off her hand, sort of circling around in the air.]

I know there are people here with... powers. Magic, superpowers, whatever the hell you call it.

Telekinesis.

[She obviously doesn't like this, not one bit, but it's also obvious that it's something she feels she needs to do.]

I need some... help. If you're a telekinetic. [One last look at the camera, and she turns it off. Yep, that's it.]

((OOC note: after this goes down.))

[Edgeworth takes a few long moments to respond, but finally, he works up the courage:]

Ma'am. How may I be of service?

[She wasn't sure what she expected, exactly, but it wasn't this guy. She's a little suspicious, but that's as much because she doesn't trust anything she says on the network to stay private.]

I need to learn. Control. [Not her, of course, but she's not going to just tell someone that her five-year-old son has killed two people and nearly just killed a third right here on the ship.]

[Well. He's not certain that he's the one to help with that, being as he's had his power only four months - but he'll be damned if he doesn't try.]

I see. May I ask you to describe your abilities in more detail?

[voice, encrypted 20%]

[thefuckinhalf]

[HA HA HA nice try Edgeworth wow no.]

I don't know. Throwin' shit around. What can you do?

[voice, encrypted 20%]

[jurisimpudent]

The...same, I suppose. I'm able to lift and manipulate items using my mind. Is this a new power to you?

[voice, encrypted 20%]

[thefuckinhalf]

Somethin' like that. [Well, it's still new to Cid. Everything is new to Cid. And it's not something she knows how to deal with; hence asking for help.]

[A nod, and then:]

Shall we speak off the network?

How much help?

[thefuckinhalf]

I need help figurin' out how to control it. How much help do you think that would need? [Vaguely annoyed, but only in part because of his response. It's tough, trying to get this figured out for Cid.]

[triedtobe]

Depends on how much control you have in the first place. How much time you're willing to put into it.

[ Peter is more than a little bit aware that this is a touchy subject, as well as a potentially incredibly important one. ] I've got more than my fair share of experience when it comes to learning how to control an ability.

[thefuckinhalf]

Not much control at all. It's a pretty new thing.

[She's trying to give some details, without being too revealing or actually saying it's not her that has this power that needs controlling.]

But learning how to control it is important. Like, life-or-death important.

I know it won't make you feel any better, but I get it. Believe me. Learning how to control something like that's usually more important than you wish it was.

It's not about what I wish for. There's a lotta things I'd wish for if I had the time or energy to bother with wishes. But wishes are bullshit anyway. I got enough real life to handle. [HMPH.] You think you can help, or are you just wishin' me luck?

[enforced]

What kind of help?

some crappy encryption like 12%

[thefuckinhalf]

Controllin' it.

bumped up to 75%

[enforced]

For you?

75% encryption;

[thefuckinhalf]

Yeah. [Well, technically, no. But she's not saying that on the network. She can't.]

[enforced]

Control can be attained through meditation.

[Sorry Obi-Wan, have a derisive snort.] They teach you that in rainbow and unicorn school? [Also, trying to imagine her rambunctious five-year-old son trying to sit still long enough to meditate is just absurd.] I got telekinesis, I gotta figure out how to use it so it don't hurt anyone.

Got any takers? [Just makin' conversation after your kid almost blows someone up, nbd.]

Maybe. Not sure I buy any of this bullshit I'm hearin', but I don't have much of a choice right now. [Yep, thanks Joe. Always brightens her day, seeing your happy face.]

What is it, a lot of "mind over matter" stuff? [You're welcome :V]
