Rumor Has It- Hear My Thoughts

[vectorchange]

[Accelerator has been in his room since seeing a strange rumor regarding others suddenly being able to hear your thoughts. To Accelerator, this rumor is not only possible as far as he's concerned, but even substantiates the fact that this tower is similar to his home world- where strange powers (like mind reading) were taught. He has little to say, and gets straight to the point. ]

My thoughts are none of your goddamn business, assholes! Stay the fuck out of my head!

[Ordinarily, Accelerator wouldn't worry too much about strange powers considering his own power simplt reflected most of them off him, but he wasn't too sure about how strong his powers were here- or even if he still had them, as well as whether or not they'd be effective against these mind reading powers.]

[Ignore the bandaged arm. Not like this particular rumor is all his fault or anything. He doesn't bother hiding a bit of disdain in his reply. If they're reading his thoughts, they'll pick it up, anyway.]

Hate to break it to you, but the kind that tend to listen probably don't care what you say.

[vectorchange]

And you think I give a shit about any of that? I'm just giving these assholes fair warning before they provoke me. They can stay the fuck out of my mind.

[After all, his mind was the only safe place he had]

Then keep them to yourself.

[ Problem solved ]

[...Or is it?]

Maybe they are. Maybe you're like a radio that they can't turn off.

[...whoops. Here's an actual mind-reader who's looking a little chagrined, or at least she would if she were using the terminal's video function. Which she's not, for that exact reason. Instead, she types -]

It's possible to veil your mind, with training. Do you know anyone who could teach you?

...

[Accelerator hadn't considered that.]


Should have thought of that possibility myself. My own powers work on their own at times.

[vectorchange]

...You don't know that people here can hear what you're thinking, right?

[vectorchange]

No, I don't. I have powers that would ordinarily reflect powers like this, but I don't know if they work here.

[seekinganswers]

Do you want to find out if they do or not? It should be a pretty simple test.

[the_other_path]

Your own powers? Are you telepathic, too?

[Which is a silly question, isn't it? If everyone can read their thoughts, that 'everyone' should include them... but does it?]

[rewindingly]

I have reason to believe that to be a lie. And even if they could, it hardly matters.

[vectorchange]

...No. I have vector control. It pretty much turns powers back on the user.

[vectorchange]

...Even if what you're thinking is completely harmless, you're telling me you're okay with the shitty bastards reading your mind?

[vectorchange]

Don't see why it would hurt.
