What: Look, some new people!

[There's a person in gray walking around the new buildings. He seems to be scanning the area around the two buildings, getting his bearings perhaps? Though he looks pretty calm and collected.

Bother?]

The amount of effort it would have taken to fake some of what was done is prohibitive.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

Prohibited by what?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Not prohibited, prohibitive. Too much effort for too little result; it's inefficient.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

[Seems to think about that.]

I suppose I'll get to see something like a wish being granted to another at some point?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

More than likely.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

Then I guess I'll wait to see it for myself.

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Fair enough.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

I heard some of the Judges were worse than the others?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Definitely. The ones to watch for at this point are Surgeon, Mirror, Game Master, Haunted and Flowers. Storyteller can go either way, Persona is invasive but not sadistic. The rest usually aren't bad, but you can never trust them completely.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

Someone mentioned Surgeon. That most people are afraid to say his name. WHy is that?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Because saying it can summon him, and he pays attention. It's the same for all of them, but most of them aren't as...active about responding. His attention is something most of us would prefer to avoid.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

Why?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

He's been known to experiment on us. Painfully and invasively. Generally it happens to the losers of his Games, but there's no sense in tempting fate.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

...ah, I can see why people would want to avoid him.

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

He doesn't make a lot of friends, let's say.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

Except for Lepus?

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

Ah, also, your...furry...teammate seems to be saying he can talk because of this somehow? [Pointing to the bracer.]

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Lepus has some kind of pact with him. Service for favor, or something. They got it by going around using his instruments on people. Not exactly a friendly gesture.

...hah, he's a projective telepath. Unfortunately, the bracers you're block psychic communication, among other things. Removing them removes your ability to form long-term memories, though, so don't take it off. You can lower the psychic ward by willing it down; the image I usually tell people to use is lowering a wall around your mind.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

Instruments?

Oh. Well, I suppose that explains why he'd understand me, if he could do that. [Looks at his bracer and does it.

Rather effectively too because if Jace is paying the least bit of attention, there's quite a bit of psychic energy coming off this guy as it starts going down. Since, you know, that's his whole nature of existence.]

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

They drained...something. "Spirit", or "life", or "mental energy." I haven't heard of anything like that happening since, though.

*hoooooooh.*

That's got it.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

And now they're the only ones to like Surgeon because of it?

You can tell?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Exactly.

*nods*

I've got some abilities along those lines.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

[Would have loved to ask about those abilities.

Except talking to Poppy isn't turning out so good. (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/sabra_la_tau/207541.html?thread=86089397#t86089397)]
