I appreciate your standing up for your beliefs. I appreciate your doing that - really. Of course there's going to be an adjustment period, but trust me, you've done the right thing. We'll get the... the storylines up and going before you realise it.

Hm then I might try that at some point but he wants to put me in a community with a consistent plot.

[angustifolium]

And those are great, too - it just depends on what you want to get into.

[tinfoil_angel]

Yes, also my mundane is amused by the fact that I would make your job as an investigator so much easier.

[angustifolium]

[He blinked, brows raising.] Oh really? How do you mean?

[tinfoil_angel]

Well I hope you don't find me rude for picking this out of your head.

[He paused a moment.]

But in some part of your mind, with the holidays coming up you're thinking about your mother.

[angustifolium]

...Uh. That's... not exactly a trick, you know? At the holidays, most people think about their family.

[tinfoil_angel]

Well I didn't want to say this outright but you're not just thinking about her because she's your mom.

You're thinking about her because she isn't mentally stable.

[angustifolium]

[And that got some pause.] ...Okay, so that's your way of saying that you're either telepathic or a mind reader, and I think I'd really kind of appreciate it if you didn't do that anymore, because my dragon does enough of that.

[tinfoil_angel]

Sorry, you're a man of science so I wasn't sure if you'd believe me if I said I could.

But don't worry, I don't normally do that and I don't judge for that sort of thing. After all, I can't say I'm completely right in the head and my skeletons run far deeper.

[After a moment he decided he needed to divert the topic.]

Mind reading isn't the only ability I have. I was rather proud of one thing I managed to do recently.

[angustifolium]

[Yes, subject change. Great idea. Reid nodded, encouraging.] What's that?

[tinfoil_angel]

It was raining, and I stopped it.

That was one of the most interesting experiences I've ever had.

[angustifolium]

[Reid's eyebrows shot up.] Wow. Now that's... That's a talent.

[tinfoil_angel]

Yeah, even I have to admit that was amazing. Though I was worried I'd lose my mind like another one of us.

She's a sweetheart but she isn't the same after something happened to her.

[angustifolium]

I guess I... kind of got lucky. Getting Curie probably could've made me think I was losing my mind, but she ended up saving my sanity. Should I-- ask what happened?

[tinfoil_angel]

She isn't ashamed of it so she wouldn't mind me saying.

She had a drug overdose. Since then she hasn't been completely there in the head but I think it allows her to play with our powers without being worried about losing her grip on reality.

[angustifolium]

[The idea of a drug overdose makes him wince. He never quite came close to that, but he can still see how it happens.] I... Drugs are worrisome no matter what. I hope she found help.

Sorry about the delay

[tinfoil_angel]

She gave it up, yes. The scary thing is I think because of it she became the strongest one out of all of us.

Obviously for most people drug use in general is a bad idea but something about that overdose made her different. Maybe she died then which would explain it, she would of been the first out of all of us to get an "upgrade"
