So.. nobody panic if you see Laurie over the next few days? My powers slipped, it caused a mishap. Everything's going to be fine, we're handling it.

As always, I am available should people wish to discuss their concerns or ask questions.

[xp_darcy]

But also, if you give Lo a hard time I'm going to have words with you, since this was my fuckup and she got caught in the backlash.

[xp_banshee]

Who'd be giving either of you shite? Cause I'll be having a few words with them, myself. Our abilities aren't stagnant things and anyone who tries to box people into prim and proper roles is just asking for some type of mishap, whether intentional or not. Besides, how would anyone find out how their powers interacted with others' if they didn't get together and make mischief sometimes?

Obviously, I have some opinions.

[xp_darcy]

I mean, I should be better trained than accidentally commanding my partner. Or anyone, really. I deserve all the yelling. I own that, I fucked up.

[xp_banshee]

Did you? Or was it an understandable misstep that you're actively attempting to avoid in the future? Everything's a learning experience, regardless of the lesson you take from it. In fact, I'd say your actions now speak highly of you as a person.

[xp_darcy]

I should have put the effort in before instead of ignoring it. My thoughts on why I didn't are still valid, but. I could and should have.

This could've been so much worse.

[xp_wallflower]

You know I didn’t mind, Dar.

[xp_darcy]

Still fucked up, Lo. I mean, if I'd done it knowingly with your consent I'd be smug as fuck that we combined our powers like that.

[xp_wallflower]

I’d like at least a sticker for how I didn’t make a crass Captain Planet joke just now

[xp_banshee]

No, no. No one wants to ask you questions. Darcy's already used enough vaguery to keep us all slightly informed. Besides, it's nobody's business if Darcy persuaded you into an orgasm and whatever new physical form your powers might've taken on. For pity's sake, tell them all to shove off and go enjoy a bit more time with Miss Bossy Boots.

Besides, good orgasms are likely one of the few acceptable excuses for a powers slip. Lord knows Kyle's had to replace at least three windows courtesy of me and mine, so.

[xp_wildchild]

TERRY THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM PEOPLE CAN SEE THIS

[xp_banshee]

Aye, it is. And there's nothing wrong with normalising healthy discussion and appreciation of people who give others orgasms good enough to shatter glass.

Speaking of. What're your plans for the evening?

[xp_wildchild]

As it turns out I'm replacing that last window in my room that I didn't think to put in the safety glass ahead of time.

[xp_banshee]

And that'll take up your entire evening?

[xp_wildchild]

Depends on if you wanna know what I'm wearing besides a tool belt.

[xp_wallflower]

This is what happens when I don’t run in the mornings. I miss all your best gossip.

[xp_wallflower]

I’m not sure if I should laugh or begin teasing both yourself and Kyle.

[xp_banshee]

Laugh, Miss Collins. You had a good evening and an amazing orgasm with a consenting adult who also enjoyed herself. You’ve no reason to be ashamed and neither does she.

[xp_wallflower]

I’m not sure I could explain why if you asked. But Thank you. I can see why Kyle is so smitten.

[xp_spectrum]

Totally not giving you a hard time, since I don't want the scary Irish lady with opinions coming for me, but I do have a couple of questions. Are you actively leaking right now 'cause you're purple? And if you are, how can we avoid being affected and what is being done to help you get back under control? Darcy says she's going in for more training, which is great, but I really didn't enjoy the last time I had your powers working on me, even if it was a demon haunted house's fault.

[xp_wallflower]

It’s a completely valid question. When I am this Colour it means I am not safe to touch without some form of covering unless you wish to be affected.

I am not actively leaking beyond touch even when purple.

Showers are an effective control, and I have an air scrubber I use when things are bad. Nobody need worry about being harmed inadvertently.

[xp_spectrum]

You missed a question. What is being done to help you get back under control? Are you waiting for Darcy's suggestion to wear off, are you wearing the air scrubber (does this count as "bad"?), is there something else you can do like, I dunno, yoga or meditation or something to get back under control? 'Cause if I went around leaking low level x-rays, I'd be letting folks know what was being done to fix it.

[xp_wallflower]

While I understand your concern, the fact that I have said it is being worked on is enough. If you wish to know about my medical history, you can do the thirteen years of study required to gain access to it.

[xp_spectrum]

I didn't ask for your medical history, I just asked what was being done to address the problem. You never said it was being worked on. This is what you said:

It’s a completely valid question. When I am this Colour it means I am not safe to touch without some form of covering unless you wish to be affected.

Show me where it says it was being worked on. If it's there, then you can call me out. Otherwise, after that Halloween and some of the "slips" before then, I think we're justified in asking if it's being taken care of.

[xp_wallflower]

Far be it for me to censor anyone for being a pedantic little shit. A lady after my own heart.

Fine, Nica. It is being managed with those who have skill in the area, and as I have said, I will be using my scrubber.

One would hope that is sufficiently direct for your comfort?
