Voice | After the festival, before the world hop

[unrecovered]

[On one hand, Wash absolutely hates his power, and he is beyond angry with Astoria for saddling him with it. That's not going to change anytime soon.]

[On the other hand, odds are the group at large will need the use of his power at some point, and if they don't have it when they need it because he's been too busy bitching about it to learn how to use it effectively, that'll be his fault. The list of Things That Are Agent Washington's Fault is too long already; he doesn't need to add to it.]

[So here he is.]

If anyone's available, I could use some help getting a handle on my power.

Full disclosure: it's...invasive.

[And the sun is slightly warm.]

[OOC: Time to break in that permissions post!]

[beyondthegreen]

Right, I'm sure tons of people are just going to sign right up after that. [Snippy and sarcastic, what a great combo.] Are you going to elaborate, or are we supposed to have gotten mind-reading powers to figure out what the fuck you mean by that?

[unrecovered]

[In Wash's experience, any given group tends to include helpful people and helpful people. Looks like he's already found the latter.]

I was going to explain on an individual basis, but I think I can put you on the No list.

[beyondthegreen]

That depends. What is it?

[Look, she can't help but be curious anyway... although the question is still asked with a rather bossy kind of tone. ]

[unrecovered]

What part of "explain on an individual basis" did you not get?

[He doesn't exactly want to shout this from the fucking rooftops, okay.]

[beyondthegreen]

I'm talking to you as an individual. It's not like anybody else is going to listen in on us.

[She remarks carelessly. People wouldn't do that if they know it's a private conversation, right? Right?

This girl picks some strange aspects of humanity to have any faith in.]

[lonered]

[Well. Keith is all for people sharing what their powers are so they can figure out how to best work together when the shit hits the fan. Inevitably. Because that's what is going to happen.

So.]

Invasive how?

[Question one.] I'll help, if I can.

[unrecovered]

I'd rather talk about it in person.

[lonered]

Uh... sure. We can do that. Anywhere in particular you want to meet?

[Keith is game.]

[unrecovered]

The southernmost edge of the forest, whenever you're up for it.

[Voice]

[spaceforged]

I wouldn't mind helping you. [He still feels guilty (mildly) for that mishap back at the temple.]

Tell me when and where.

[unrecovered]

[Honestly, he's still a little embarrassed that he freaked out all over Shiro, let alone multiple times - not that he'll admit it.]

The southernmost edge of the forest, as soon as you're available.

Voice --> Action

[spaceforged]

On my way.

[It isn't long at all before Shiro approaches on foot. He'd taken most of the way by Lion and changed back before he got in sight. Wash has had enough scares as it is.]

Alright. How do you want to do this?

[unrecovered]

[Wash is definitely doing better than last time. It helps that he's had time to come to terms with being pulled into the Circle, with his new location, and with magic existing at all. The conversation with Astoria was actually reassuring, which wasn't something he was expecting when the end result had still been, 'sorry but you're stuck with that power.']

[He's found a mostly-stripped fallen tree to perch on, and is currently trying to convince a small green wyvern to perch on his finger with absolutely no success. It's relaxing, and he hasn't been bitten yet, so as far as he's concerned, it's going just fine. He straightens up when Shiro approaches.]

Hopefully with less panic than last time.

[Ahaha. He gestures to the spot next to him on the log as the wyvern hops away, inexplicably offended by the sudden visitor.]

We should probably both be sitting, though.

[runwaying]

colour me curious~ ☆

invasive how so?

[unrecovered]

[Eventually, someone is going to figure out that he didn't give details in the initial post for a reason. This person is not that someone.]

I'd rather talk about that in person

[runwaying]

[ hm. someone's being secretive, considering that this isn't even broadcast to most people at large. that's fine. it's not the worst that she's dealt with. ]

hm~ that sensitive, huh?

I suppose if it makes you more comfortable I could accommodate that request. when and where?

[unrecovered]

[Someone has been paranoid for a very long while and doesn't like sensitive information being on an open network.]

The southernmost edge of the forest, whenever you're available.

;voice

[sendinthecavalry]

Okay, but so mysterious there! Are you looking to just get everyone itching to know? ...if do, I mean I'm impressed.

[unrecovered]

Oh no. You've discovered my master plan.

[Dry as the desert.]

[sendinthecavalry]

I mean, bravo then. Real nice lead up and everything.

[Not even phased by that attitude, Wash. Cayde's been dealing with dry and disappointed for eons now.]

Begs the question though, and you know I just have to ask: what'd you get? If you're not sharing with the rest of the class I'm gonna go with it's really boring, really wierd, or really dangerous. Hit the mark on the head there?

[unrecovered]

Thanks. I worked really hard on it.

[The sarcasm is working for him, so he's going to keep it.]

If I was going to announce that on an open network, don't you think I would have done it from the start?

voice

[runicking]

That sounds... ominous.

[ Were you expecting a bit of optimism, Wash? Sorry, but he isn't exactly making a good case for himself here. ]

Care to elaborate?

Re: voice

[unrecovered]

Not on an open network.

[Why does everyone do this]

voice

[runicking]

[ Because someone somewhere thought it would be funny.

Probably Astoria lbr

But okay, she'll meet you halfway with this. ]

Where would you like to meet, then? I assume you would rather talk about this in-person?

[unrecovered]

Yeah, I would. The southernmost edge of the forest, whenever you're up for it.
