[ video ] » and I'd love it if we made it

[One violet haired and iris-ed woman with a Maldon, Essex accent pops up on the network in a video feed. The ID attached? Psylocke.]

If anyone would like some nice, calm, peaceful, and I'm running out of words to otherwise describe relaxing thoughts, and is having difficulty, consider this psychic open for business. I think we could all use some of those after this month.

[Betsy, out.]

Wait...so like...your business is giving people a psychic zen zone?

No, but. It is now, temporarily. Except free, because this month has been a bloody mess.

That's pretty badass. [He smiles a bit. Things had been majorly crazy this past month, but he avoided most of it. Until the Shimmer.]

Not that it wouldn't be cool to have a business like that. Psychic therapists should be a thing. But it's badass of you to offer to do it pro bono.

I had these powers back home as well, so I've had to do it before; I've got a couple back home who've done it more than me, even. I'm just doing what I can to help -- this world is partially ours for as long as we're here, so if we don't help when we can, that's not good. [She returns the smile.]

That said, if you need some help, I'm confidential -- naturally. [She's not about to spill anyone's secrets during sessions.]

Nah, nah, I'm cool. Believe me, this was...it was rough, but I was more a bystander than anything.

[He had gone in hoping to help people, but really, he hadn't been nearly as helpful as he wanted. There wasn't much he could do beside get out who he could find.]

But I'm signing right there with you about helping as much as we can. Figuring out where we fit best is the hard part.

I'm glad you got lucky with it. Well, as much as lucky counts.

Did you ever see stuff like this where you're from?

[He looks like he's thinking about it for a moment.]

I almost got stuck in a pocket universe once, but it wasn't like this. And there was a girl whose powers were like LSD right into your brain, but still gonna say this was a thing of its own. No one turned into a tree from it. What about you?

r u offering xanax power??

That's basically what it is, yeah, minus any nasty side effects or accidentally getting too much or un-fun stuff like that.

Actually incredible. So what's the deal, you're going to make a chill bubble around your office or...?

I *could*. It's easier to get into people's heads first and do it individually, though. With confidence about what might be 'seen', of course.

"Seen?" What, see stuff in our heads?

yeah unless someone's got shit to block that while I work

How does a psychic business work? Do you have to get into people's minds somehow?

Y..es. To calm people.

But how? Do you know what they're upset about? Do you read their minds?

Yes, that's one of the aspects of my telepathy.

You- can you really do that?

[Hope rang in his voice though for the most part it was pretty hard for him to ever sound "excited". He sounded more desperate than anything.]

Yes, I can. It's a power I've had since before coming here -- I'm what my world calls a mutant. So if I can help, I will.

'So if you can help'- are mutants known for helping others? Like the heroes here?

[The term mutant has a weird feeling in his mouth, as if it's bad... 'Mutant' wasn't exactly a kind word to begin with to him, but then the context of it had yet to change. Applying it to this woman here seemed wrong but, if it's what she referred to herself then he'd adopt it.]

Just like with people, and imPorts here, there are self-serving mutants and selfless mutants. So, yes -- and no. In my world, many -- not all -- of the humans in power have sought to control and harm mutants, so a mutant's response can be very different to how they react to that threat. I think humans and mutants can co-exist in peace, if both sides apply effort.

So mutants are just... people then.

[Gotcha. It just sounded like... a derogatory term or something. He'll have to just get used to it.]

May I ask your name? I'm Shuichi Saito.
