“I also have some nonfiction collected that shouldn’t be too baffling but it’s important to me to make it easier to distract heavily-backlashed-me from trying to steal people’s phones or take my shirt off in public. It was funny when I tied you to the couch but it would not be funny for a stranger to have video of it.”

"Do you possibly want clothes that are difficult to take off without help? Buttons up the back or something."

Permalink

“—That is a really good idea.”

Permalink

"You'll be so confused though."

Permalink

“I would rather be confused than have my bra on the internet!”

Permalink

"So valid. You don't think being confused'll make you escalate in some way?"

“I…guess it depends? I wonder if a dress would be remotely dungeon-practical, since it won’t be mostly my own body I’m moving, and then I won’t be able to take off pants but I wouldn’t have certain jumpsuit-related difficulties that would make it very urgent to do so.”

Permalink

"Maybe a dress with pants under it so you have a failover if the pants and you should have a falling-out?"

Permalink

“Or, like, leggings, yeah. I’m sure I can find a dress designed not to get in the way.”

Permalink

"It's likely you'll be able to retain that I or other partners you may come by are people, at least when we're in guiding range, for longer than you can remember this about anyone else, I have something like that at dangerous levels. So that may be helpful in the field."

Permalink

“Yeah, I do remember when Cricket and your mom were in the room and aaaaall I knew about the existence of persons near me was that you were an esper and the sofa wasn’t.”

Permalink

"With me it's not just 'an esper', I don't have this realization about espers I'm not compatible with, but I can notice that June's a person when I've forgotten that I'm not all alone in the universe. Not that I push it to this level often enough to have a great spread of data."

Permalink

“I think the way my backlash works I would realize that non-compatible espers are also people but I haven’t tested it.” 

Permalink

"You can fistbump some people at the water dungeon maybe, though you might have to wait, sensors show up to a dungeon before anyone else."

Permalink

“We’ll see. If I can’t control dungeon monsters I probably won’t get very backlashed.”

The traffic isn't too bad; Haru shows his esper passport at the cordon around the portal and parks inside. "You should get an ID. They've got an esper at city hall who'll poke you to confirm, it's not difficult. But today you can just piggyback on me."

Permalink

“Sure! Now that I have a name, that was pretty much the holdup.”

Permalink

"You want to sit in the car or the ready tent while I go in?"

Permalink

“Ready tent.” She’s nervous but she does want to jump in , insofar as that counts.

Permalink

He identifies the ready tent for her and in they go. "Hi there, I'm Traceless. This is Sonder, she's going to be joining my second foray for some powers testing."

There's medics in there and a SWAT team (there's another SWAT team standing watch outside). They wave. There's chairs and a couple boxes of donuts.

Permalink

Lucy claims a donut and sits down and makes conversation. She’s a new esper but this is technically not her first dungeon, she got kidnapped once before she awakened.

Permalink

A SWAT team guy has a story about getting kidnapped by a dungeon he was assigned to a couple years back! A medic was kidnapped by a dungeon but it was while she was on vacation in New York right out of her seat at an off-Broadway show.

Permalink

“I’m sorry about your show, I just missed some class.”

Permalink

"It was so disappointing, I'd gotten the ticket in the lottery so I didn't have insurance on it. But the dungeon wasn't one of the really heinous ones, at least."

Permalink

“Mine wasn’t horrible either. And I managed to take some video of it.”
