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.]

[summerorange]

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

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

[ninjayeehaw]

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

[sentai don't swear gosh]

[ninjayeehaw]

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

[helborn]

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

[summerorange]

So it wasn't on purpose?

[all_onis_are_true]

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

Were they aware you had done so?

[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.

[ninjayeehaw]

Oh yeah.

[ninjayeehaw]

Didn't even know I could 'til I pulled it off by accident, so no.

[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.

[summerorange]

I...I see.

[That's a rather disturbing thought.]

Just...if you try it again...ask next time?

[ninjayeehaw]

I sure as hell don't plan on forcin' myself on someone.

[He only sounds a little bit offended, Natsumi.]

[cloudpotter]

[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.]

[summerorange]

I wasn't saying that you would!

Just...be careful with it. Please...

[ninjayeehaw]

I'd like it on record that I ain't about t'go forcin' this on people. [Stern, only mildly offended. He just wants that out there.]

But naw, if it's anythin' like some a' the other network skills I been hearin' of, it needs permission t'happen. It ain't too hard keepin' people out anyhow. [Right?]

[helborn]

Yeah, no. I don't expect you to do something like that. I'm just worried about someone who doesn't care what other people think.

.. I don't know if I can keep other people out or not. I've never tried, i think.

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.]

[ninjayeehaw]

A bunch a' people were offerin' Psychic Protection back durin' the mermaid jaunt, maybe try hittin' some a' them up.

[ninjayeehaw]

A' course.


[Private, no protection]
...y'alright there, Nat?

[summerorange]

[There's a sense of tension on her end of things for a moment or two.]

[Private, no protection]
What you just described...I've been thru it, on the other end of the scenario.

Private, no protection

[ninjayeehaw]

I'm sorry.

[He's never been on the receiving end. It was too up-front to be any sort of technique Kyuemon would use on him.]

Are... y'all gonna be okay? Talkin' 'bout this?

Private, no protection

[summerorange]

I think so...though please don't be offended if I have to stop mid-way.

Private, no protection

[ninjayeehaw]

[His tone is much gentler now.]

Yer welcome t'back out whenever y'all need. Ain't like other people can't ask questions y'all woulda too.

Private, no protection

[summerorange]

...no, it might be best to tell you anyway. Especially if they somehow end up joining us at some point.
