sooo what kind of powers do you guys have? were you born with them or get them in some freak incident or what?
[He pauses as he types out the text, considering if he should be honest about his intentions or not. It's not like he had any sinister plans or anything. It's just a matter of being private. But he doesn't want to sound too weird or shady. This sounds shady doesn't it??
He types and deletes a bunch of times, unhappy with most of the reasons he tries to give for asking the question. This one makes him sound too weak, this one makes him sound too ignorant, this one just makes him sound stupid. Eventually he settles for...well, nothing. He just gives up and hits send.]

[She's read through the post a little - thankfully they don't share her mind-bending abilities. And no, Wanda won't talk about her own on the network with a stranger.]
We should meet. It's easier to show things like this.

Still, it's the smart thing to do.]
yeah, that's probably a good idea. uh where's good for you?

[No one really goes there; they should have plenty of privacy.]

[And he will be there, though he'll be leaning up against a wall as he waits. Totally not out of paranoia or anything, nah.]

I'm Wanda. I don't know if our powers work the same way, but I will help you if I can.

Andrew. Well I mean, I guess you knew that already...[She's a pretty girl and he's an awkward loser. Give him a second.] Uh yeah, so...can I ask how yours work? Or what you do?

Threads of red light surround her hand and a book she was holding. It hovers in the air, slowly rotating.]
It's like this.
[She can do more, of course, but it's harder to demonstrate without a safe target.]
no subject
Um, what's that light?
[That part is definitely different.]

Wanda motions ever so slightly and the book drifts a little closer to him. She's assuming Andrew has something a little more subtle if the question is anything to go by.]
Take it. Show me.
no subject
[He's wondering to himself what could be causing that light when the book starts to drift closer to him. When she tells him to take it he pauses only because he had been a tiny bit lost in thought, but after a moment he'll take the book with the force of someone snatching it. He himself doesn't move.]
no subject
Could use a little more finesse, but that's why she's here, right?]
You don't need to move to control it, do you?
