Hah! Hah! Fuck all of you assholes with your stupid dumb fancypants power shit. Fuck you! Because I have a real superpower now. The best and most useful and cool and impressive one and you are all going to feel sorry for ever thinking my abilities were lame!

[ With a triumphant nyaaahh, Octavia sticks her tongue out at her phone and then turns it towards the TV. It's tuned in to one of those 24-hour live shopping channel broadcasts - a female presenter is currently hawking overpriced fake jewellery to the viewers. ]

"...And this beautiful piece can be yours for only three hundred dollars! But even if you wear this overpriced piece of shit, you won't be as hot as Octavia."

[ While uttering her slightly-suspect words, the presenter has an unsettlingly slack look to her limbs and a completely vacant expression. It's creepy as hell. After she's done speaking she claps her hands over her mouth in surprise, and Octavia turns the phone back towards her own grinning face. ]

Haha! See? I toooooooold youuuuuuuu! I can make anybody do anything I want any time I want to and it is going to be amazing.

[ She may be exaggerating just a teensy bit. (Permissions post is here!) ]

Oh yes. Your life must be so difficult, what with your plans to mind control people and possibly get them fired from their jobs. Excuse my lack of sympathy.

It's not like I PLANNED to get her fired if she gets fired! It will be an unfortunate side-effect. And one dumb mistake wouldn't get her laid off anyway, riiiiiiiight? I mean that would be stupid. So no worries!

Yes, but you didn't think before you acted, which is just as bad. What's going to happen when she tries to explain to someone that it felt like someone was in her head.
And anyway, I sincerely hope you won't go around abusing this sort of thing regularly.

Like she'd REALLY tell anybody that. That would make her sound nuts! Nuts and crazy and fucked in the head (lol)!
And of COURSE I won't abuse it. Unless I really want to, or it would be really funny, or unless somebody really pisses me off and deserves it. I am responsible as hell!

Exactly. This may come a s a shocker to you, but people typically don't like the idea that they might be mentally ill. So she might go to a doctor about it and it won't be the one who runs the clinic in the Dead District.
And that's literally the definition of abuse. That, right there.

UGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH and then the doctor will say she is fine and just had an "episode" and she will be fine! GOD.
And abusing it would be way worse, wow! Like I could theoretically just mind control all you chumps into thinking that I am behaving in a perfectly responsible manner no matter what I get up to. THAT would be abuse, du

You notice how you just stopped typing there and began considering ways you could abuse your power? That has basically told everyone looking at this conversation that you are terrible. Congratulations.
