I see dead people

[biiowiired]

Greetings, aliens. I'm the Ψiioniic. You can call me Psii, but don't get cocky. [[ He immediately proceeds to get cocky. ]] Considering all the disturbing-as-fuck things I've heard on this Network since I got here, I have a proposition for you. Let's talk about dying.

First, no one's going to die in the immediate future. I think. Say, the next few nights? Second, I'm here to offer my... services... as a... clairvoyant. [[ A couple seconds' pause. ]] I have visions of future deaths. I can warn you or your quadrantmates about them. No, you can't prevent the hideous or embarrassing ways in which you will die. But you can do yourselves a favor and get your shit in order. I accept payment in food, electronic parts, and lessons on how to... make stuff out of thin air? That's a thing here apparently.

If the next Jaunt's as dangerous as you all say, it's going to be a bloodbath. Try not to die in stupid ways. I have to watch that shit.

Ok, so I really don't need to know when I'm going to die and how, because it'll probably be nasty or just really pathetic, but I do have a question.

... what do you mean by 'quadrantmates'? I haven't heard that term before. Also, if you wouldn't mind me asking, what sort of species are you? I'm... um. I'm an astroanthropologist and astrobiologist. Basically, I like learning about different sentient species.

... humans, I swear, are the most boring species in the universe sometimes.

Dude, have you actually tried? I can't peek forwards for fuckall.

Just in case nobody told you yet, psychic new kid, we come back from bein' dead here. If it happens on the Jaunt, it happens quick, a day or two. Happens kind of a lot.

Don't let it happen in liminal. It's fucked up if you do.

Sounds interestin'. So you can pick who's death you see?

Oh, a clairvoyant? That's one magical ability that's always been quite outside my expertise. If someone dies it's usually either a surprise or something I did on purpose...

About how far ahead do your visions typically happen?
