On the topic of unexpected skills

[ninjayeehaw]

This ain't anywhere near so excitin' as some a' the other skills that keep croppin' up as a' late, [nor one of the more exciting ones even he's picked up] but... I think I mighta just hitched a ride in someone's else's head. Like straight up gone into their body.

An' mighta controlled 'em a little durin'.




...so that's interestin'.

Is "interesting" really the correct word for that?

[Oh man he's got the heebities now.]

[ninjayeehaw]

The word I'd like t'say, I ain't, cos there's kids listenin'.

[sentai don't swear gosh]

[all_onis_are_true]

[He could probably provide a few that are very polite but nevertheless harsh.]

Were they aware you had done so?

[summerorange]

..."Might have". That's a little vague for something that worrisome.

[See, she's not judging the first part. Small miracles.]

[ninjayeehaw]

I ain't about t'go an' ask 'em t'help me test it again, freaked us both out enough doin' it once.

[summerorange]

So it wasn't on purpose?

[helborn]

... Interesting. Yeah. Did... the person know you were doing it?

[ninjayeehaw]

Oh, they were fully aware. Kicked me out on instinct, I think, so there's some small mercy right there - can't no-one let me in 'less they want me in.

[helborn]

... That's. Worrying. At least it seems like they can't do it unless it's agreed on... but I'm just worried about someone trying to push that envelope.

[First there is a sense of alarm, then interest, then curiousity and finally a sense of contemplation. Is Kinji talking about something similar to the possession technique?

And then there's a brief, two-second livestream of him heading to Kinji's room. Because Yakumo is not as happy as Kinji is to discuss this with the entire Network.]

Actionspam ahoy

[ninjayeehaw]

[There's enough direction in that livestream that Kinji gets the hint immediately, and he's already in his room by the time Yakumo gets there. Today it's the Igasaki mansion's lounge, and Kinji's sitting cross-legged at the table on a gold cushion; but he moves to stand when Yakumo enters.]

Don't mind when Yakumo blows in - literally, he's been practicing the wind form some more - through the door. He's gotten good enough control of things that he only mildly upsets the tanuki statues in the corner alcove and only sends the cushions scattering a bit, before all of his winds draw back in. The spirit's form exists, suspended in the air, for a moment - and then it solidifies with a gentle, almost imperceptible blue glow and Yakumo drops the foot or so to land lightly on his feet. Totally windswept and already straightening out his clothes, but no less bright-eyed or curious for it.

"You advanced the possession technique?" No need for greetings, they're teammates. And hey maybe he's also still putting his head back together after having all his thoughts literally scattered to the wind, who knows.

not here

WHAT

THE

FUCK

[Well guess whom he'll be avoiding.]

[chalicejoker]

...the hell? How do you even accidentally do that?

[ninjayeehaw]

[Don't you judge him]

It don't matter, I figured out I got it.

[chalicejoker]

[Too late.]

Still kind of a big thing to figure out you've got on accident.

[forcechanic]

If by interesting you mean wrong and invasive.

[Palpatine could do that. And "don't do what Palpatine would do" is one of her guiding principles in life.]

[ninjayeehaw]

Ain't disagreein' with y'all.

[forcechanic]

Was it at least an accident?

[SHe caused a rather spectacular incident by accidental filter intrusion after all]

[haremtrap]

Dude that's kinda fucked up.

[ninjayeehaw]

[There is the distinct sensation of a shrug]

Could already do it to vehicles an' junk 'fore I got here. Natural progression, I s'pose.

Not one I'm particularly happy with, mind you.

[haremtrap]

Like, I'm pretty sure you're not gonna mind control me because you don't really trip any of the "probably evil" sensors in my head, but.

Any of us could learn to do that, couldn't they? That's how these powers work, if I get it.

[uzoda]

That's... kind of creepy.

[Private]

Whatever you do, don't... don't try that on Tachibana. Don't. Please.

Private

[ninjayeehaw]

[There's no immediate response, but he manages to throw up some privacy before a very distinct sense of guilt works its way into his connection.]

Yeah, ah... about that...

Private

[uzoda]

...oh. [He gives a cringe that one can just about feel over the network.]

How'd you... why were you doing that, anyway? He really doesn't do good with psychic things!
