Ana and Kirk meet

[06:50]  * bouncebackEschaton began pestering psionicPskateboard
[06:50] <bouncebackEschaton> Hi!
[06:52] <psionicPskateboard> Oh.
[06:52] <psionicPskateboard> Hey there.
[06:52] <bouncebackEschaton> SO
[06:53] <psionicPskateboard> So.
[06:59] <bouncebackEschaton> On the main #Psionchat, you mentioned a certain name
[07:00] <bouncebackEschaton> A pretty uncommon one
[07:00] <psionicPskateboard> Which one?
[07:01] <bouncebackEschaton> Tchimbembe
[07:01] <bouncebackEschaton> Which I'm thinking is too obscure to be a coincidence
[07:01] <psionicPskateboard> What do you mean?
[07:01] <bouncebackEschaton> What country're you from?
[07:01] <psionicPskateboard> Canada. Why?
[07:03] <bouncebackEschaton> KNEW IT!
[07:03] <bouncebackEschaton> Around the west half?
[07:04] <psionicPskateboard> Uh, yeah.
[07:04] <psionicPskateboard> Why?
[07:05] <bouncebackEschaton> So, if you were to divide the country into latitudes...
[07:05] <bouncebackEschaton> Okay forget that, narrowing down is boring
[07:05] <bouncebackEschaton> Thaone High, yes or no?
[07:06] <psionicPskateboard> Okay, how did you figure that out?
[07:07] <bouncebackEschaton> Come on, I just told you!
[07:07] <psionicPskateboard> You're not using any powers on me right now, are you?
[07:07] <bouncebackEschaton> I looked it up.  There is less than a dozen people with that name
[07:07] <bouncebackEschaton> It's more unique than a fingerprint!
[07:08] <psionicPskateboard> So why do you care what school I go to?
[07:08] <bouncebackEschaton> WELL
[07:09] <bouncebackEschaton> First I saw you say the name, and then I was all "hey I know that name" and so I looked it up to see if it was just a coincidence
[07:09] <bouncebackEschaton> And it's all "there are five people in the world with that name"
[07:10] <bouncebackEschaton> Here, see?
[07:10] <bouncebackEschaton> http://www.locatemyname.com/southafrica/Tchimbembe
[07:11] <psionicPskateboard> So we both know someone with a weird name.
[07:11] <psionicPskateboard> That still doesn't explain why you care about my highschool.
[07:11] <bouncebackEschaton> Because it's the same person!!!
[07:12] <bouncebackEschaton> I'm Thaone too!
[07:12] <psionicPskateboard> Oh.
[07:12] <bouncebackEschaton> THAT'S SO AWESOME!!!
[07:13] <bouncebackEschaton> Isn't that so awesome?
[07:13] <psionicPskateboard> Yeah, that is pretty cool.
[07:13] <psionicPskateboard> I never thought I'd meet another psion.
[07:13] <psionicPskateboard> At least, not so close to home.
[07:13] <bouncebackEschaton> Oh, you're right!
[07:14] <bouncebackEschaton> We should try and meet up!
[07:14] <bouncebackEschaton> Because PSIONS~!
[07:15] <psionicPskateboard> You seem nice and all.
[07:16] <psionicPskateboard> But, I'm not sure I should be meeting up with random strangers on the Internet.
[07:16] <psionicPskateboard> I don't even know your name.
[07:16] <bouncebackEschaton> Even though we've probably seen each other IRL before?
[07:16] <bouncebackEschaton> OR
[07:16] <bouncebackEschaton> I'm a powerful enough psychic to read your mind, and I know what to say to convince you anyway
[07:17] <bouncebackEschaton> So resistance is futile, either way!
[07:17] <bouncebackEschaton> :D
[07:18] <psionicPskateboard> Can you at least tell me who you are first?
[07:18] <bouncebackEschaton> Oh yeah, sure!
[07:18] <bouncebackEschaton> I'm Ana
[07:18] <bouncebackEschaton> Recognize the name, maybe?
[07:19] <bouncebackEschaton> Hey, maybe you're Kaz in real life!  Oh man, that'd be crazy
[07:19] <bouncebackEschaton> Ooh, or that other guy!  Callum!
[07:19] <bouncebackEschaton> Oh man that would be so cool!
[07:19] <psionicPskateboard> Not really.
[07:19] <bouncebackEschaton> Aww
[07:19] <bouncebackEschaton> Oh well!
[07:19] <psionicPskateboard> My name is Kirk Stevens.
[07:19] <bouncebackEschaton> Hi Kirk!  Nice to meet you!
[07:20] <psionicPskateboard> Nice to meet you too.
[07:20] <bouncebackEschaton> So, we should try and meet up, right?
[07:21] <bouncebackEschaton> IRL?
[07:21] <bouncebackEschaton> I've never seen anyone else using psychic powers before, not in real life
[07:21] <bouncebackEschaton> Oh man this is gonna be AWESOME
[07:21] <psionicPskateboard> I think I know who you are.
[07:21] <psionicPskateboard> So why not?
[07:22] <bouncebackEschaton> Oh, awesome!
[07:22] <bouncebackEschaton> Monday, front door?
[07:23] <bouncebackEschaton> Oh wait no then we'll just have to split up and go to class
[07:23] <bouncebackEschaton> Uh
[07:23] <bouncebackEschaton> AFTER SCHOOL Monday, front door?
[07:23] <psionicPskateboard> Sure.
[07:23] <bouncebackEschaton> Woohoo!
[07:24] <bouncebackEschaton> See ya then, Kirk!
[07:24] <psionicPskateboard> Yeah, I guess I'll see you there.
[07:24] <bouncebackEschaton> :D
[07:24]  * bouncebackEschaton ceased pestering psionicPskateboard

[07:25] <bouncebackEschaton> **************************** JUMP CUT TO THEN *************************

[07:31]  * Anastasia_Locke is standing outside the front door, craning her neck to look through the crowd of leaving students
[07:31]  * Anastasia_Locke probably should have considered that she has no idea who she's looking for
[07:32]  * Anastasia_Locke regrets making that poor decision for a second or two before taking another look just in case
[07:34]  * Kirk_Stevens notices the girl looking around
[07:34]  * Kirk_Stevens walks up to her
[07:34]  * Anastasia_Locke notices the approaching person-she-doesn't-know and beams
[07:34] <Anastasia_Locke> Kirk?
[07:40] <Kirk_Stevens> You must be Ana then.
[07:40] <Anastasia_Locke> Yeah!
[07:40] <Anastasia_Locke> Oh man this is so EXCITING!
[07:41] <Kirk_Stevens> Yeah, it is pretty cool.
[07:41] <Kirk_Stevens> So, now that we've met, what do we do?
[07:41] <Anastasia_Locke> Uh...
[07:41] <Anastasia_Locke> I dunno.  To be honest, I'm just so psyched that this is actually a thing that's happening!
[07:42] <Anastasia_Locke> Come on, let's go find somewhere we can do stuff!
[07:43] <Kirk_Stevens> Uh, sure. Where did you have in mind?
[07:44] <Anastasia_Locke> I dunno, but COME ON!
[07:44]  * Anastasia_Locke starts walking in a random direction, then stops
[07:45] <Kirk_Stevens> Hey, wait up!
[07:45] <Anastasia_Locke> I'll wait up if you hurry up!
[07:45]  * Kirk_Stevens runs to catch up with her
[07:46]  * Anastasia_Locke also begins running

[07:46]  * [S] Chase Scene

[07:46]  * Kirk_Stevens speeds up.
[07:46]  * Anastasia_Locke fails to speed up
[07:47]  * Kirk_Stevens successfully catches up.
[07:47] <Kirk_Stevens> So, where are we going?
[07:47] <Anastasia_Locke> I have absolutely no clue!
[07:48]  * Anastasia_Locke and Kirk_Stevens are standing in the midde of a random street, lined with massive office buildings
[07:49] <Anastasia_Locke> Ooh, here!
[07:49]  * Anastasia_Locke dashes into an alley between two buildings
[07:49]  * Kirk_Stevens cautiously follows her into the alley.
[07:50] <Anastasia_Locke> Woo!  Okay, let's do this!
[07:51] <Anastasia_Locke> D'you wanna go first or can I?
[07:52] <Kirk_Stevens> What do you mean?
[07:52] <Anastasia_Locke> The psionics!
[07:52] <Anastasia_Locke> Oops
[07:52] <Anastasia_Locke> *whispered* The psionics!
[07:53] <Kirk_Stevens> Oh.
[07:54] <Kirk_Stevens> _Oh._
[07:54] <Kirk_Stevens> Well, uh, why don't you go first?
[07:54] <Anastasia_Locke> WOO!

[07:55] <Anastasia_Locke> ======= STRIFE =======
[07:55] <Anastasia_Locke> > Psi Blade 1, Pushing Attack 1
[07:56]  * Anastasia_Locke pokes Kirk, sending him flying roughly five feet back
[07:56]  * Kirk_Stevens falls on his back
[07:56] <Kirk_Stevens> Hey!
[07:57] <Anastasia_Locke> I know, right!
[07:57] <Kirk_Stevens> Maybe warn me next time!
[07:57] <Anastasia_Locke> Oh right, sorry
[07:57] <Anastasia_Locke> But yeah that's what I can do.
[07:58] <Anastasia_Locke> Oh wait there's some more actually
[07:58] <Anastasia_Locke> Wanna try it?
[07:58]  * Kirk_Stevens stands up.
[07:59] <Kirk_Stevens> As long as I'm not the guinea pig.
[07:59] <Anastasia_Locke> Aww...
[08:00] <Anastasia_Locke> It's telekinesis.  I can hold somebody in place for a few seconds
[08:01] <Anastasia_Locke> And set things on fire!
[08:02] <Kirk_Stevens> Well, take it away then.
[08:02] <Anastasia_Locke> Woo!
[08:02] <Anastasia_Locke> >Psi Blade 2, Snare 1
[08:02]  * Anastasia_Locke pokes him again and backs up
[08:06] <Kirk_Stevens> Is that it?
[08:07] <Anastasia_Locke> And fire!
[08:07] <Anastasia_Locke> But maybe let's not do that one
[08:07] <Anastasia_Locke> It's your turn!
[08:07] <Anastasia_Locke> Let's see what you got!
[08:08] <Kirk_Stevens> Well, uh, Nothing that interesting.
[08:09] <Anastasia_Locke> It's ALL interesting!
[08:09] <Anastasia_Locke> Show me!
[08:09] <Anastasia_Locke> Show me show me show me!
[08:09] <Kirk_Stevens> Well, I can like, use weapons with my mind?
[08:10] <Kirk_Stevens> But weapon is really loosely defined.
[08:10] <Kirk_Stevens> Mostly I just use it to mess around with skateboards.
[08:10] <Anastasia_Locke> Oh, cool!
[08:10] <Anastasia_Locke> I can do that too actually!
[08:10] <Kirk_Stevens> I guess.
[08:10] <Kirk_Stevens> Oh.
[08:10] <Kirk_Stevens> Guess I just got the short end of the stick.
[08:10] <Anastasia_Locke> I sometimes use it to hold my umbrella for when it's raining, but that's it
[08:11] <Kirk_Stevens> Oh, and also I can make illusions.
[08:11] <Anastasia_Locke> O.O
[08:11] <Anastasia_Locke> Show me!
[08:12] <Anastasia_Locke> Show me show me show me show me show me!
[08:12] <Kirk_Stevens> Okay, one second here.
[08:12]  * Kirk_Stevens closes his eyes and concentrates for a little bit.
[08:13] <Kirk_Stevens> ((A medium-sized dog appears a few feet away))
[08:13] <Kirk_Stevens> See?
[08:13] <Kirk_Stevens> That's about it though.
[08:13] <Anastasia_Locke> THAT'S SO AWESOME!!!
[08:13]  * Anastasia_Locke runs over and nudges the dog
[08:14] <Kirk_Stevens> It's not real though.
[08:14] <Anastasia_Locke> Well yeah but STILL!
[08:14] <Anastasia_Locke> It's AWESOME!
[08:14] <Kirk_Stevens> Yeah, I guess.
[08:15] <Kirk_Stevens> Not as cool as starting fires.
[08:15] <Anastasia_Locke> Come on!  You could do so much awesome stuff with that!
[08:15] <Anastasia_Locke> Start a fake fire!
[08:15] <Anastasia_Locke> Mine only last a couple seconds before they burn out anyway
[08:17] <Kirk_Stevens> Yeah, but my fires wouldn't be very impressive.
[08:17] <Kirk_Stevens> Just watch.
[08:17]  * Kirk_Stevens waves his hand and the dog disappears.
[08:18]  * Kirk_Stevens closes his eyes again. A few seconds later, a small fire starts up a few feet away.
[08:18] <Kirk_Stevens> See? That's the best I can do.
[08:19] <Anastasia_Locke> :D :D :D
[08:19] <Anastasia_Locke> THAT'S SO AWESOME
[08:20] <Kirk_Stevens> Really? It's barely even a campfire!
[08:21] <Anastasia_Locke> Who cares!
[08:21] <Anastasia_Locke> It's AWESOME!!!
[08:46] <Kirk_Stevens> If you say so.
[08:47] <Anastasia_Locke> Well I do!
[08:47] <Anastasia_Locke> Wish I had illusions
[08:48] <Kirk_Stevens> And I wish I could do whatever those things that you did were.
[08:49] <Anastasia_Locke> I'm pretty sure it's just basic tk.  Pushing, holding in place, stuff like that.
[08:49] <Anastasia_Locke> And fire too
[08:50] <Kirk_Stevens> Still cooler than fake dogs.
[08:50] <Anastasia_Locke> Dogs, maybe.  But think of all the stuff you could make!
[08:52] <Kirk_Stevens> Like what? A fake cat?
[08:52] <Anastasia_Locke> Uh
[08:52] <Anastasia_Locke> Yes
[08:52] <Anastasia_Locke> You could be like that one crazy guy with all the cats!
[08:54] <Kirk_Stevens> I don't think I can make more than one illusion at a time.
[08:54] <Anastasia_Locke> Aww...
[08:54] <Kirk_Stevens> And what would I do with so many cats?
[08:54] <Anastasia_Locke> Well still!
[08:54] <Anastasia_Locke> I dunno, just... just have a bunch of fake cats!
[08:54] <Anastasia_Locke> It doesn't have to be for a reason or anything
[08:55] <Kirk_Stevens> Yeah, I guess you're right.
[08:55] <Anastasia_Locke> Of course I am!
[08:56] <Kirk_Stevens> So, uh, anyway.
[08:56] <Kirk_Stevens> I'm all out of magical powers to show.
[08:56] <Anastasia_Locke> Yeah, same
[08:56] <Anastasia_Locke> I kinda wanna try to make an illusion though
[08:57] <Kirk_Stevens> Be my guest.
[08:57] <Anastasia_Locke> Because that would just be SO GREAT
[08:57]  * Anastasia_Locke tries to make an illusion
[08:57]  * Anastasia_Locke tries really hard
[08:57]  * Anastasia_Locke gives up
[08:58] <Anastasia_Locke> Okay that didn't work
[08:58] <Anastasia_Locke> Here, tell you what
[08:58] <Kirk_Stevens> What?
[08:58] <Anastasia_Locke> You try and help me work on that, and I'll do my best to help you practice telekinesis
[08:59] <Anastasia_Locke> Deal?
[08:59] <Kirk_Stevens> You think you can show me how?
[09:00] <Anastasia_Locke> You said you did it with skateboards, right?
[09:00] <Anastasia_Locke> So it can't be that much of a stretch!
[09:00] <Kirk_Stevens> Well then, you've got yourself a deal.
[09:00] <Anastasia_Locke> Woohoo!
[09:01] <Anastasia_Locke> Alright, now I'd really better be getting home before Kaz gets too freaked out
[09:01] <Anastasia_Locke> Talk to you soon?
[09:02] <Kirk_Stevens> Sure.
[09:02] <Anastasia_Locke> :D
[09:02]  * Anastasia_Locke exits alley and starts running to apartment
[09:02]  * Kirk_Stevens also leaves the alley and starts walking back home.
