No one freak out I am not freaking out- I am so freaking out but I think I can tell what people are feeling. Mentally tell. Not all people. Some people. It's weird. I don't really know for sure.

...Maybe you should test it more to be sure?

[temptationaccomplished]

How they are feeling, but not how they are thinking? How does that work, exactly? I don’t doubt you, I’m just curious how this sense might work. Do you feel it as if it is your own emotion? As general ambiance, or as an aura specific to a person? How detailed does it seem to be? Or do you think this is a sense, like smell, that you could cultivate to find more specific?

Gracious, I’m sorry, that’s prying. But you must admit from an outside perspective it IS fascinating.

Like an empath?

[That's what they're called, right? Seems like a useful and annoying power.]

[scotch_egg]

Calm down. I'm sure it's just your imagination.

[...just...watching this. Do you always say seventeen words when you only need one or two? Ask and be done with it. You're flittering around like a nervous pigeon]

not here

[temptationaccomplished]

[Shush you. Words exist to be used.]

[darkforcerising]

Don’t be rude.

Re: not here

[used but not to deluge someone. Give a man a chance to breathe before you drown him]

[darkforcerising]

Maybe? I don’t know if that’s the right word yet.

[scotch_egg]

I'm not being rude, I'm being sensible. This is the real world not some fantasy. If you really think you're feeling someone else's emotions, if this is a delusion you have, than you've either taken something you shouldn't have or you really need to seek a psychiatrist.

Brb, gonna go purposeful annoy a coworker, see what happens.

[bearshermark]

Report back.

[temptationaccomplished]

I hardly think that's a test. You know what the results will be.

[darkforcerising]

You do not know the complicated minds of rocket scientists. We blow things up for fun. This will be a test of all my abilities.

[darkforcerising]

Yes. No clear, defined thoughts.
I don’t know.
It feels entirely outside of my head.
On the subway it was a little like white noise. But sometimes I could pick out a singular person.
Not very detailed most of the time. I’m not sure why yet.
It’s like proprioception, but about other people’s emotions.

[darkforcerising]

Wow, that's even more rude.

[darkforcerising]

Back. Test was successful. Coworker definitely annoyed, and could definitely feel it.

This better not turn into a 90s comedy/rom-com.

[missingache]

That's what they'd use in movies and stuff... but if it doesn't fit, I could think of something else.

[scotch_egg]

The truth is rude? Or are you just desperate to cling to your fantasy?

[darkforcerising]

So, do you have another setting?

[scotch_egg]

[he rolls his eyes and ends the feed. Idiots will be idiots]

[bearshermark]

Probably only if you want it to.

But wow, that's.. weird, but kind of cool. I guess we really have to start considering the possibility that reality as we know it is changing.

[darkforcerising]

I'm not ready to give up the laws of physics!

[darkforcerising]

I mean, maybe it is that. I just don't want to jump to conclusions.

What if this is a computer chip planted in my head?

[bearshermark]

Well, who knows. Maybe it's not that dramatic.
