I don't mind if you don't mind

[twistedspoon]

Who: Casey and YOU!
What: A good old fashioned mind reading log!
When: Wednesday, May 23
Where: All over campus



She'd made it! Casey could hardly believe her good fortune! There were a few times over her months of wandering from city to city that she doubted she'd ever find the Academy, and that maybe the Gym Leader she'd 'borrowed' the information from was just making things up. But here she was now, and she was excited!

...For a few minutes.

The building alone wasn't enough to hold her interest for very long; Casey was much more interested in the people within. After a short nap (which ended up lasting almost an entire day, as all that excitement was exhausting!), during which she teleported all over campus and likely got herself spotted a few times, the Abra decided to seat herself at the edge of the outdoor fountain. From there, she let her mind reach out...

[[OOC: You know the routine! You can just post your character's idle thoughts, have the more psychically-inclined characters have a conversation with Casey, or even meet her in person! She'll be 'porting all over the place, as usual.]]

I've never seen a bug like that before.

...I wonder if Navi would let me eat it?

[twistedspoon]

Gross.

[breaks_pots]

Link cringed at the voice, thinking it was Navi somehow and that he'd spoken out loud.

"It's not gross," he said outloud. "We've had bugs before, just... not this one."

Navi circled out from under Link's hat and gave a confused chime, "...Who are you talking to?"

"You."

"But I didn't say anything."

"You said it was gross!"

Navi chimed again, huffing, "I did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

...this would probably go on for a while.

[twistedspoon]

Hahaha. Watching people get confused when she spoke to them never got old. She would help my chiming in her own did nots and did toos at completely inappropriate moments for even more chaos.

[breaks_pots]

The shouting match eventually devolved to a point where Link was sitting with his arms crossed, huffy and upset, grumbling under his breath while Navi had gone and flown off, also grumbling under her breath, equally huffy and upset.

But unlike the fairy, who could hold onto her anger for a good long time, Link calmed down pretty quickly, sad at finding himself alone again. He picked at the ground at his feet, plucking the grass blades in a slow, robotic motion, not really seeing what he was doing or picking at.

I wish I knew where I came from.

I have a feeling I'm forgetting so many important things.

[twistedspoon]

Past is boring.

Casey's was, so obviously everyone else's must be, too. She can be the voice of experience and give helpful advice!

[after_the_flower]

Sophie's life was so far from boring gee it would be nice if she remembered.

Sophie looked around. What? What was that?

[twistedspoon]

This girl was definitely not a trainer, and therefore was probably safe. It wasn't that Casey was afraid of being caught. She just didn't like getting hit in the face with Pokeballs.

She did, however, like how comfortable Sophie's head looked. Poof! She was now draped over it.

[truffulatree]

Hello!

[twistedspoon]

Oh, that was new. Just who was this? A little light probing, and--

!

She physically flinched, immediately terminating her connection with the stranger. This was even worse than the Headmaster's brother. She tentatively reached out again, careful to keep herself from gleaning for more information... as curious as she was.

What?

[truffulatree]

RADIOOO NOOOOISE.

Hiiiiiiii!

How are you?

[twistedspoon]

...Unsure.

What a rare and troubling feeling, to not know what she was feeling.

What are you?

[obfuskate]

... Damn hedgehog.

He should *not* be giving me these feelings.

Sonic. What... is it about him? Why does he persist?

Maria... what should I do?

Good thing he can think these thoughts because no one will know about them.

EXCEPT NOPE, MIND READERS ARE ABOUT, SILLY MR. UNSMILEY.

[twistedspoon]

Casey. Not Maria.

Silly ... spikey-looking thing. Why would he ask her for advice on someone she doesn't even know, anyway?

[obfuskate]

What...?!

Shadow whirls around, searching for the source of the thoughts entering his head by force. That isn't normal. Could it be some sort of psychic creature?! But... how?! Are his own thoughts not even safe here?!

Who are you? Show yourself!

[twistedspoon]

Suddenly, at the end of the halls! Some sleepy-looking Pokemon thing just sitting there. She wasn't keen on coming any closer until she knew this guy wasn't the kind to get angry and attack her for the little intrusion. Some people were like that, for reasons beyond her.

What up, phatness?

Casey. Casey no. That's the kind of thing that will get you beaten up.

[bluestreaker]

...What's that?

Sonic was staring right at... whatever it was. He narrowed his eyes as if that would help him decipher its existence.

He turned toward it, feet moving him in its direction.

Looks suspicious. Better jump on it.

[twistedspoon]

No jumping.

He couldn't very well jump on her if she was suddenly behind him! Right?

Oh. You're Sonic.

[bluestreaker]

Sonic's spikes flare up at her sudden disappearance - and presence behind him!

Sonic spun to see the little bugger taking up the space behind him, more stunned to hear a voice that... had a weird pitch to it. He couldn't tell where it was coming from. How odd.

"Woah," He finally blurted out. "Hey, neat trick!"

Neat but what the heck? Speed? No... Can't be Chaos Control... No emeralds. Shadow would've been all over that, if we had 'em. Aaah ah, wait a sec!

"Wait, y'know me?"

Maybe I should jump on it anyway. Could be Eggman's.

[twistedspoon]

Oh no, Sonic, don't do that thinking AND talking at the same time thing. Most people did it, sure, but it just made everything a big jumble for Casey. It was easier to focus on one thing at a time. She would just focus on his words, since he was speaking directly to her now.

Someone was thinking of you!

ITT: Simple minds...

[buddinghart]

...simple pleasures.

[twistedspoon]

Hey, that was kind of relaxing.

Also, BORING AS BEANS. She couldn't even smell them.

[buddinghart]

Hey, it's hard to think in smells. If it counts, if Casey happened to be close enough, she might be able to get a vague whiff of antler-flowers?

[twistedspoon]

Not at that exact moment, she couldn't. But it wasn't long before she appeared in close enough range to get the thoughts again mixed with the scent this time.

Time to follow her nose!

And test out Kieran's rack as a seating device.

You look weird for a Stantler.
