[voice], within the first week of October

[You feel something reaching out and touching your mind... Poking it, actually, like a prodding finger. It withdraws and tries a softer, finer touch. That withdraws too, and there's a pause. Looks like Need can't get around her powerloss and covertly use peoples' senses/look into their minds just by using the pearl network. Unfortunate.

After a moment, Need allows her presence to bloom into the connection and make itself known. If you can gauge this kind of thing at all two things are immediately evident. One is that she's very old. Not tired, not fragile, but distant and distorted to the point where her mind doesn't really feel human. The other is that she's female. There's nothing stereotypically feminine there but it's very clear. She's something crushed into a tiny space a very long time ago and also: she/her.]

Someone always figures out how to make a teleson. [Telepathy via technology.] How far does this reach? Does it work between people who haven't met?

[Need is far more accustomed to speaking mind-to-mind than using anything else, so her "voice" has a particular quality to it that I'm gonna keep rendering as italics.]

Where I'm from it's possible to visit other realities, where things might be very different, and be fully embodied in them but one's actual body remains behind. The more difficult part is getting back to it. I wonder if that's happened here.

[In that way, they're similar. Anasui rarely feels remorse for anything he does, though he is trying to make an effort to try be more considerate to others. It's difficult when you don't understand though, whether it be the bubble of personal space or the privacy of ones' own thoughts. Anasui supposes it must be different where Need is from but he doesn't particularly like it.

Honestly, it seems like it must be a difficult way to live. How does anyone get anything done where she's from asides from amassing more power?

Thoughts for someone who actually knew what was going on in Velgarth, and not someone like Anasui who isn't thinking about it.]

I see... A spirit with the power to probe minds. You sound like a Stand. [This is a thought that Anasui absolutely doesn't elaborate on, but the connection to power is evident from Anasui's thoughts.]

What exactly are you looking for in people's brains at the moment?
