week 2

[airlockedmods]

[With the sudden pirate takeover and the sudden, tragic deaths of the crew, the second week of the Starfield Penitentiary rehabilitation project is off to a rough start. After Price's call for parlay with the pirate captain, he was not seen for the remainder of Saturday but around 10 pm it is his calm but tense voice that makes the time announcement.

Buckle in, Champions, things are about to get bumpy.]

[tenimuho]

I think I remember the meanings of the cards alright. Do you want me to look them up again?

[heartswapped]

I think it's fine.

[That hasn't been the issue.]

Can I ask you something?

[tenimuho]

Anything.

[He may decline to answer if it's incredibly personal, but she can ask.]

[heartswapped]

...do you actually believe in any of this?

[tenimuho]

[He thinks about that for a second.]

I don't, but I don't believe it's impossible either. I can see the future myself, to a limited extent. And we have a vampire on board, that isn't any less unusual than fortune-telling.

[heartswapped]

Wait.

What was that thing you said about being able to tell the future?

[tenimuho]

[Oh, yeah, that might be a strange thing to just say.]

My ability, 'Flawless', lets me see about six seconds into the future, if I'm going to be in danger based on my current course of action. So I can change my actions and hopefully not be hurt.

It's been weakened here, but even at its strongest, it can't really be used for fortunetelling.

[heartswapped]

Hate to say this, but that...doesn't really seem that useful. Six seconds can go by pretty fast.

[tenimuho]

It's saved me from being shot more times than I can count.

[So he'd consider it useful...?]

[heartswapped]

Oh. Right.

[She kind of forgot about the whole mafia thing for a second.]

I guess they wouldn't want us to have our powers here when Blaze just wants to keep us on our toes. I've tried to work on my own, but-

[She blows a raspberry.]

Nada.

[tenimuho]

[He would get that a lot, if he talked to more people.]

Flawless is only barely working. It would be much more helpful normally, but now I only have a sense that something is about to happen - I don't see what.

[heartswapped]

Let me guess.

Not knowing what is worse than not having it at all.

[tenimuho]

In a situation where only a few things are likely to go wrong - facing one opponent who might shoot me, for example - it's still somewhat helpful.

Otherwise, it's not much good at all.

[heartswapped]

[She "hmms" at that, before letting him in on something:]

My sister had premonitions.

They were a lot farther out than six seconds, but... it was sort of the same thing. Vague, sort of based on what she was doing at the time...

I never really understood how it worked.

[tenimuho]

Is that common, where you're from?

Abilities in general are very rare where I'm from, and people who have the same ability even rarer.

[heartswapped]

Not really. Sometimes it kind of skips around in families, and it's not unheard of for humans, but it's much more common with Pokemon.

Like... hold on a second.

[She closes her eyes, then extends one hand towards the Emperor card he's drawn out.

After a few seconds, it begins to float.]

[tenimuho]

Oh, that's very useful.

[In like a week he's going to realize she's probably responsible for pantsing Diego because of this conversation.]
