[The image is shaky as Anakin props the phone up. Once it's in the right spot Anakin steps back until he's in view about waist high on up.

He looks really excited.]

So get this! I noticed I was moving my pen on my desk with my mind yesterday at work! So all last night and all this morning I've been practicing this.

[He lifts up his left hand - real hand - and he's holding a tennis ball. At first, but then he opens his fingers and the ball slowly rises, when it's about six inches about his hand, it starts spinning slowly on a tilted axis like a mini-planet.]

It totally my mind- see-

[The ball pauses its spin and drops to Anakin's hand. He takes it with his right hand and the ball repeats its maneuver. Rising and then spinning on a tilted axis- though this time it's spinning in the opposite direction from before.]

What the fuck, dude, that's awesome! Really, congratulations!

So much better than feeling other people's emotions.

[howkickassiam]

Is that something else you have?

Re: video;

[darkforcerising]

Ya, it's the first thing I noticed a few months ago.

[howkickassiam]

Geez, I kind of feel jealous. All I have is some vague memories of being in a paramilitary outfit and wearing armor.

[darkforcerising]

It's not that awesome.

Okay, the moving things is awesome. Feeling other people's emotions is less than fun.

[howkickassiam]

No, I understand. Though, you know, the whole in-armor thing? I also had an AI, and we were having two conversations at once. One was out-loud, the other...was not.

idk telekinetic + empath powers seem p cool to me.

Re: text

[darkforcerising]

The empathic powers just keep getting worse. I'd trade those in a second.

But telekinesis: hell ya, that's cool!

[bearshermark]

Are you having trouble controlling the empath powers or something?

Re: text

[darkforcerising]

I've never been able to control it. There is no off switch.

[bearshermark]

What even. There has to be some way.. I just dunno what that would be.

[darkforcerising]

A lobotomy most like.

But nope, this is just a part of being connected to whatever weird magic is there in my memories.

People can control their emotions and then I'll feel a whole lot less from them. But lol, this is America, emotional control is not a tool in most people's mental sheds.

[bearshermark]

That's awful. I hope you're doing okay.

[hardtoignore]

That's pretty cool. Can you lift bigger things? Have you tried yet?

Re: text

[darkforcerising]

I started with a pen yesterday. Now I'm at a tennis ball. Not enough to say exponential growth, yet. But ya, I think I could work up to something bigger.

[hardtoignore]

Neato. I'm doing something similar but I wouldn't say it's just done with my mind. This stuff is... complicated?

Anyway, do you feel exhausted after you do it? I don't really get tired when I pick stuff up with my magic.

[darkforcerising]

Yes and no. It's hard to explain. I'm not exhausted physically or mentally, but with the magic?

What can you do?

[neverjedi]

Do you have any more memories, yet?

Re: Text

[darkforcerising]

Always.

I seem to just get a steady trickle instead of an info dump.

I think I'm almost to the point where we meet.

Re: Text

[neverjedi]

Maybe you'll hit memories of training soon. It might help.

Re: Text

[darkforcerising]

Anything is better than reliving being beating every day.

Re: Text

[neverjedi]

I know where you came from, and I'm sorry. I wish I could do more than feel terrible and promise you that it will get better. [ at least for a while. His memories still stop when Anakin is really young. ]

Re: Text

[darkforcerising]

Are you skating right now?

Re: Text

[neverjedi]

At this exact moment? No.
