Pre-Moebius Sharing [A couple days into the racetrack liminal]

[itsananimalthing]

So a lot of you know I've been tryin' to rebuild memories from before Moebius. For you new people, Moebius was a Jaunt before most of you got here, were we died a lot and lost our memories every morning. A lot of that stuck.

[Look, he's being helpful, filling things in for people who don't know the story. Isn't that nice of him?]

Managed to put together somethin' kinda big out of them.

[Enjoy a brief lifestream of Riddick's strange vision: everything is tinted slightly purple, sources of light are doubly bright, and everything seems much more focused on heat and motion. It's an image of his hands, held apart in front of him, and after a second, an arc of electricity jumps between them, from one hand to the other. He holds it only briefly, then lets it dissipate.]

We can make energy out of liminal stuff. Claudia don't need to shoot me with her electricity gun to power lightcycles no more, we can just make that shit.

Came with somethin' else interesting while I was tryin' to put that trick back together. I was on at least four Jaunts before Moebius happened, might be more-- but there were people back then from the last round of this. The one Fortune won. We called 'em the Unlucky Dead. I don't got much about 'em yet, just a couple names and faces, but I'm workin' on it.

Figured that might be important to know.

[The last bit is said dryly. He knows that's an understatement.]

No time like the present, right? Don't suppose you mind me trying to tap in on your senses?

[He spreads his hands, a wordless invitation. He doesn't even have his goggles on, in the dim light of his forge, so she can get the full measure of his weird vision, if she manages it. In the meantime, he'll just keep the pathways of his brain open on the network, keyed to "her" psychic presence, and see if she can find them.

He'll give her pointers if it takes her a little.]

[She smiles and tips her head, then closing her eyes to concentrate. It's bizarre, reaching out deliberately instead of waiting for the connections to come, but she manages, after a few beats. Once she's 'settled in', she startles.]

This is what you see all the time?

[itsananimalthing]

Sometimes I see this.

[He reaches over to pluck up his goggles, and pull them over his eyes. It mutes the auras around things, particularly people and light sources, makes them easier on the eyes. It's still pretty weird, though.]

It's made for seeing in the dark.
