{OOC: No tag order, respond and/or bring up new topics as you like. Making your own threads to talk amongst yourselves is perfectly fine.}

[Nora has pushed several tables in the ice cream parlor together and is sitting down enjoying a sundae. She has with her a list of super powers and a small stack of comic books. She waits until everyone else has gotten their tasty frozen treats before standing up like this was some kind of board meeting.]

Okay! Now we're ready to get started!

[It was important for everyone to get their ice cream first.]

I think we should begin with a classic. Super speed! Anyone remember being faster than a speeding bullet or able to outrun trains or something?

[nowi_wins]

You mean like telepathy and telekinesis and that kind of stuff?

[She takes a bite of her strawberry sundae thoughtfully.]

I don't remember anything like that. Was past you psychic?

[clawkind]

More like precognition, but that stuff's ok too.

[she shrugs a little]

If she was I don't remember it yet, but I'm psychic in this lifetime so it wouldn't surprise me too much.

[nowi_wins]

You're psychic?


[omg so cool!!]


Do you tell fortunes?

[clawkind]

Not like palmistry or bone reading or anything, usually. It's not really my field of interest and I'm still in training.

[plus it's pretty easy for people to get taken for a ride with those kinds of things when someone decides to get flashy, and that never sits right with her]

But I do a lot of quartz gazing and omen interpretation. It's good practice.

[nowi_wins]

Aww...

[She's visibly disappointed about the lack of palmistry and whatnot. Then again, she is exactly the type to get taken in by that sort of thing.]

So what's quartz gazing? What does that do?

[clawkind]

It's when you enter a meditative state and use a nice piece of quartz as a medium to view visions of the future. It can be really useful once you're skilled enough at it.

[nowi_wins]

And does it really work? Have you actually seen the future?

[clawkind]

Sure, plenty of times. It's a lot more difficult to see actual snapshots of the future at my skill level right now, but I've gotten readable omens pretty frequently.

[nowi_wins]

That is just too cool! Have you gotten any omens recently? Like about the city or about the numbers club?

[clawkind]

[she shrugs nonchalantly]

I'm not really all that interested in either of those, so I don't really look too much into them when I gaze. I did a little reading for someone I met on here recently, though. Does that count?

[nowi_wins]

Sure it does! Did it come true?

[clawkind]

We don't know yet; it was more of a long-term metaphorical warning than something super urgent.

[nowi_wins]

Oh....


Could you tell my future?

[clawkind]

Sure, although I don't think that I could do any scrying here. It's too packed with people's energies, you know?

[nowi_wins]

Oh, yeah! It doesn't have to be now or anything. I was just wondering if you would. You know, sometime.

[She's really excited about the prospect of having a genuine fortune from a real live psychic.]

[clawkind]

Yeah, I can do it whenever. It's good for me to look at specific people every now and then - it gets me prepared for when I start my apprenticeship.

[nowi_wins]

I'm totally cool with anytime you want!

[She's gonna find out the future! So excite.]

Apprenticeship?

[clawkind]

Mhm. After I strengthen my spiritual awareness enough, I'm going to go look for a full-fledged shaman and apprentice to them so I can learn the trade.

[nowi_wins]

And then what? Are you gonna be a fortune teller to the stars? Or maybe for big time politicians?

[clawkind]

Eurgh, no. [she wrinkles her nose in distaste] I'm probably going to specialize in exorcisms and then I'll travel around cleansing people in need.

[nowi_wins]

Wow! That's really impressive.

I don't have any big plans like that myself...

[She's just been waiting for awesome powers to suddenly show up.]

[clawkind]

They'll come to you eventually; they're probably just waiting for the right time to show up.

[not everyone can have as many reaffirming experiences as her, after all. Nyah's doubly sure that people living in a place like Locke wouldn't.]

[nowi_wins]

That's what I keep telling myself. But I wonder if I should try to be more, um...

[She chews on a strawberry while she searches for a proper word.]

...proactive about it.

[Yeah, proactive works.]

[clawkind]

That always helps. The more experiences you have, the more options you'll start thinking about.

[nowi_wins]

Well, different experiences are something I'm good at! At my last school I probably tried out almost every club they had.
