[And here's Lorna, complete with an expression that looks like she is both pissed off and has a migraine.

Anyone who can perceive auras such as magical or psychic ones will be the only ones to notice a purple -- violet, really -- semi-abstract butterfly shape around Lorna; mostly around her head. It's made of psychic energy, so not a tangible substance. It's a manifestation of the powers of one Elizabeth Braddock -- AKA "Psylocke" -- from Lorna's world, and the powerset also comes with telekinesis.]

Can everyone. Just. Please think less loudly for two minutes? I know I'm not the only one freaking out, but damn -- some of us have psychic powers suddenly and without notice beforehand taking up residence in our brains. How do you all who have this all the time deal with it, shit.

[Lorna is grumpy and overwhelmed. She might apologize later for being so short in this message, but right now all of you are giving her a migraine, so she's not inclined to not be like This at present. She knows she's not the only one dealing with weird, but she also has a tendency to get kinda like a dumbass when she gets this grumpy, so anyone inclined to call her out on it, probably should do so and tell her to Chill Out.]

The telekinesis, I can live with. [She holds up a fist, and again, only people who can detect magical or psychic auras will notice a ball of purple telekinetic energy around her fist.] It works on not-just-metal stuff.

[She's been grumpy enough for one video, so she ends the feed there.]

Not enjoying the new powerset? [Natasha would probably be more sympathetic, but. Fire. There's a curl of flame licking up from one arm right now, in fact. She's starting to run out of unburnt clothes. ]

Zero out of ten. [But she does squint because is that fire?] Are you -- on fire?

I am indeed. I take back everything I ever said about Johnny Storm. [A small pause] I take back 75% of the things I've ever said about Johnny Storm.

Telepathy and telekinesis, huh?

Did you install sprinklers in your space yet? [ie: how wrecked are things?]

Smack me if I ever talk shit about a telepath again.

I'm in the market for a new mattress, but everything else is still mostly in one piece. Helps to mainly work with metal.

Usually pretty good advice in general, I've found. I'm sorry you're having volume control though.

[ Welcome to Jean's world, Lorna. ]

Do you want some help? I can help place up some mental barriers for you.

[weh, Jean, your world is Too Much.]

Does it involve knocking me out, because I would be very much in favor of that. [a beat.] Yes, please, help would be nice.

I am thinking as quiet as I can.

[Laura knows what it's like to have everything overstimulate you and feel like too much all at once. So she respects someone coming out and demanding that there's quiet. She even speaks in a whisper, and tries not to move a muscle when she responds.]

You should talk to Charles. He can help you. He helps everyone.

[you're cool, Laura.

(one plus side is that Lorna can't pick up mental things over the network, at least.)

She does have a point though, about Charles.]

I should, you're right. Assuming he's not seconds away from telling me to be quiet. [She is sure that her 'inside' mental-voice is even worse to other telepaths now than it usually is.]

My theory is that Charles is immortal and that's how he has helped every generation of mutant since the dawn of time. [That is a sliiiiiight (massive) exaggeration on all counts, but since she is having A Day, she needs to try to amuse herself where she can.]

[Wanda winces in sympathy - she knows this feeling all too well.]

I'm sorry. I know it's hard.

You can learn to push them out, but it might be easier somewhere quieter.

I feel like quiet is a myth, gotta be honest. Unless you've found spots. [she's willing to try anything here]

There are places here and there. And you can't hear anyone in space.

Does this mean we can go on a field trip now?

Is it that bad? [Hmmmmm...] Maybe sitting in orbit for a while would be best.

[It would seem Kurt is putting his own newly gained shapeshifting abilities to use, considering that an entirely normal looking teenager is what shows up on the feed of the TAB.]

I take it you haven't always head telepathy then?

[That vibrant purple is recognizable, though. Where has he seen it before ...? Then, like a lightbulb clicking on, his azure colored eyes widen in bewilderment. 'Psylocke' was what her name was and she'd been working with--

He clears his throat, shakes his head and straightens slightly, shoulders pushed back as he tucks his arms across his chest.] It would seem you've already been contacted by Jean. I could suggest you talk to Charles Xavier, but miss Jean knows how to deal with voices that are too loud.

[Lorna was once an unwilling follower of Apocalypse, too -- she was pestilence, it was not a fun time.]

That'd be a negative. [what gave it away? heh.] It seems like there are enough with these kinds of powers around, yeah. I'm never talking shit about telepaths again.

[Kurt's not too sure if Psylocke was unwilling or not, but ... that's neither here nor there.]

Probably for the best, considering they can read your mind and you would never know it.
