"GOOD! PERHAPS WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO HAS A TINY, TINY SPARK OF POTENTIAL! NOW. KNEEL DOWN ON THE PADDED FLOOR."
[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES] Nicole, sweetheart? Mind if we strangle him?
[PERSON OF INTEREST] We do NOT need to alienate an Alphabet Company who's on the same page as us.
You force yourself into a kneeling position. Your fucked up leg screams in agony but hopefully the UVX will fix that soon enough. "Okay. What now?" You hope you'll get something of value out of this tomfuckery. You're only 23 and yet this whole thing is shredding years off your life.
"SIMPLE. WE ARE HERE TO DEVELOP A WAY TO IMPROVE YOUR VISION. YOUR MIND. PERHAPS TO SEE INTO THE FUTURE. PERHAPS TO SEE IN THE DARK. PERHAPS TO READ MINDS. WE ARE HERE TO TAP INTO THE FORBIDDEN POTENTIAL OF THE MIND. BY DEPRIVING YOUR NORMAL VISION, YOUR MIND MUST ADJUST."
Soon, as if on cue, the room floods with a thick haze of magenta smoke. Kiara is about to yelp something out but she hisses out a 'she's going to be okay' before even your hearing is muffled by the constant hiss of smoke flooding the room. Eventually smoke stops pouring in but it's going to take ages for it to clear out.
"WE'LL SEE IF YOU CAN PREDICT WHAT I'M DOING. I CAN BE REAL QUIET-" And then his voice vanishes. How to approach this?
>Refine your current MIND READ. You only have rough dots right now but what if you could actually make out their outline? (WILLPOWER DC: 18, rolling 6d6. On a success, you'll refine how precise and detailed your MIND READ's MIND RADAR ability is. Failure and while you'll pass, using your ability and staying stagnant will mess with your RESTRAINT.)
>Seeing into the future, huh? It's going to burn your brain a lot but try to predict what he does before he does it. (RESTRAINT DC: 22, rolling 6d6. On a success, you might see something you shouldn't normally be able to predict. Failure and lowering your mind and guard this much will leave you open for an attack.)
>[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES] She smog seems heavily concentrated around where you're sitting but Kiara and Sebastian might be able to see clearer. Focus your MIND READ to detect where the two are at, locate their minds...and CONTROL IT. (-3 RESTRAINT, WILLPOWER DC: 16, rolling 6d6. Succeed and your combined power usage may unlock a new sub ability for PUPPETEERING. Failure and you might go a bit kookoo.)
>[SCHOLAR OF THE CITY] Perhaps where his location is at is not the issue. Maybe if you had a solid, clear reading of what your environment is... (COGNIZANCE DC: 15, rolling 5d6. Succeed and you'll get a solid layout of the room you're in despite your lack of vision, potentially unlocking a very useful power for urban exploration. Failure and you'll be stumped.)
>[UNSTABLE] LET YOUR INSTINCTS DO THE TALKING, NICOLE. (-1 RESTRAINT, TALENT DC: 26. You won't know what you'll unlock on a success but you imagine it'll be useful. Failure and, well, UNSTABLE does what it does.)
>Use an item to help ground your mind...(Write in what item to use.)
