[ Travis has been out for a few days with a wicked flu. He wasn't sure if he'd seen the lights for sure or not, and afterwards he'd blamed the strange behavior of his pets on fever dreams.

But, well. Here he is, looking much better, with a tap-dancing spider on his blanket covered knee. ]

So, uhh... I think, I can mind-control animals.

[counterclock]

that has to be immoral on some level of something
jesus christ

[summit]

[ He drops his hand down and lets the spider crawl on his hand, her fangs agitatedly clicking. ]

I'm not going to listen, to your trolling. Except, this time you might be right.

[eras]

Oh my goshhhhhhh. Seriously?

[ Yes, that's not the most useful response, but.

...PSYCHICS. ]

Did Pete do something weird?

[summit]

He brought me a bag of chips, and a glass of water last night. Or, uh, he tried to. And, Lolth can dance.

...wow.
thats really bizarre two see wtf.
you didnt even get something useful?

audio

[summit]

It could be useful. Maybe.

[wonk]

...im keeping my cat away from u dude

audio

[summit]

I won't do anything bad!

video

[neopianangst]

Oh my god.

I don't think the animals are going to like that.

video

[summit]

Me either. Uh... [ The spider stops tap-dancing and just crawls slowly up his leg. ] She's sort of, more angry than usual.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

That's AWESOME.

So you have animal minions now, eh? How far's your range? How much have you tested this?

audio

[summit]

Uh... Just on my own pets, in my room.

[Pia doesn't look very impressed. In fact she looks a little bored.]

I feel I've become desensitized to these things.

At least you've gotten something exciting. All I got was some tattoos marring my body. When did this happen for you?

My name is Pia, by the way.

[summit]

Travis. [ he lets the lovely spider lady crawl over his fingers, frowning. ] Uh... The night when there we weird lights, I think. I was sick, and not really paying attention...

[vetala]

Do human beings fall under the caveat of animals?

[summit]

I don't know. Uh... I could try, I guess.

[originaloddcouple]

Huh.

We know a guy who can control fish. Is that under your jurisdiction?

[summit]

I haven't tried yet... so, maybe?

[Video] 1/2

[destinedforrock]

Mister Arthur does not control the fish, unless I am terribly mistaken - he makes requests of them!

[Video] 2/2 directed squarely at Travis!

[destinedforrock]

Now - is that what you're doing - [They've been acquainted, a second to recall the name...] Travis, dear? Asking that spider friend of yours if it'd be so kind as to indulge you with a little dance routine, or are you really bending them to your will?

...So to speak.

[video]

[moarnomsplz]

You only think? That looks, look-suh, pretty definitive to me, man.

[video]

[summit]

Maybe she's just, uh... practicing a mating dance?

[beyond_the_sea]

Wait, what?

[ Jason will process ethical questions in a moment when he's done with 'whoa my god'. He's only been skimming the network so this is the first time he's had a live show of superpowers, so to speak.

He jabs a fascinated finger at the spider. ]

Dude, are you making it do that?

video;

[summit]

Yeah. [ Um. ] I think so, at least? [ He's actually

not really sure how to work this at all. Concentrating is hard, and focus is hard, and thoughts to move her legs usually just end up moving his fingers so...

Psychics are hard. ]

[Video]

[playerspooker]

You only think so?

[Video]

[summit]

I guess I know so, now. But, I'm still not sure, since I've just tried it on my own animals...

[drama8om8]

Wow. Wow! That's so gr8. It's like you got the same power as me, only it got turned to shit somewhere along the way!
Which I assume is the reason why *I* got losers and chumps and lamey-lame assholes whining and screeching at me to stop it and YOU just get "ooh that's awesome" and "duh so impressive" and "duh duh what a funny thing you are making the gross spider do."
I would like to st8 pu8lically for the record that this network is full of HYP8CR8TIC8L ASSH8LES!!!!!!!!

video;

[summit]

I don't think it's shit, at all. And, uh... Maybe it's because, they're not threatened by me having this?
