[It's time to play the 'who's awake at 1 AM' game! If you're not, Tetsuo's talking softly enough that it might not wake you. If you want to see or answer this later in the day when normal people are awake, feel free, but please specify.]

Everybody's got powers, right? That's why they want us to stick around...

[You can just hear how much he likes that prospect. He all but spits those last two words out like it's a curse.]

So anyway, I'm curious.

How many of you have 'side effects' from them? Anybody know? I know there's gotta be more than one... but it's not all of you, is it?

I - nnghh. I wanna know why that is... why's it only some people?

Because it is not my business to know someone's thoughts or feelings, not without asking--that someone is feeling lonely or homesick or stressed? I've no need to know that.

[Riza chooses to say nothing on knowing when someone is choosing to lie to her, to conceal something; where some ones allances may fall--there's a good bit of information that she can percieve with her power but she rarely uses it. It's invasive.

Could she know more about someone with her power? She imagines yes, but it's an unused muscle. Her attempt at ignoring the influx of information is what causes the constant headache, after all. She certainly wouldn't be able to do more</>.]

If you weren't supposed to know, you wouldn't be able to.

[how the hell is that power supposed to work, anyway? Somehow she's got that worked out it sounds like.]

[Don't ask her, since all she does--still, after months--is tune out the information. It's almost an extra sense. For more than cursory information, she needs to focus on the other person. Mostly, though...she tries not to.]

There are lots of things humans are not intended to be able to do that we have gone and figured out how to do anyway--that doesn't mean we should pursue doing them.
