Congratulations to everyone who participated in the election -- I was kind of surprised about the result, but I'm really grateful to the people who voted for me. Thank you for your faith in me -- I'll try my hardest not to let you down! And to the rest of the student government, I'm looking forward to working with you.

[She looks a little bit nervous for a moment, but pushes forward:]

I've been meaning to ask, is there anyone who wouldn't mind me praticing my power on them? It's just that I want to be able to use it to help people, and I'd hate to use it on anyone without their knowledge...

Anyway, thank you!

[...Right, then. Crazy.]

I'm really sorry for your loss...

[voice]

[martyrerkomplex]

Do you really think so? That's so sweet of you to say...

[martyrerkomplex]

[Krista shakes her head, looking a little horrified at the thought -- wanting to make sure Eli believes she'd never use it unnecessarily.]

No, I... I used it once or twice, in an emergency, but I wouldn't want to change anyone's feelings if they didn't... if they weren't...

[martyrerkomplex]

Well, your power is probably a little bit less... uncomfortable to have practiced on you, I think...

[monstrueuse]

[Wow, rude.]

Yes, great loss! My heart has been cut out! I have been eviscerated!

But if death was undone once, then it can be undone again. And this I will do!

[martyrerkomplex]

If I could meet with you and practice changing how you feel, that would help.

Then maybe once I got used to doing it a little bit more, I could try doing it with you resisting, or -- or I could try sealing small memories, like what you ate for breakfast or something...

I wasn't really planning on all this, so I don't have much of an idea yet, actually.

[martyrerkomplex]

[She calls it like she sees it. You know, in her mind.]

Will you?

[soundandfurry]

I mean, I guess that's true, but I don't think I'm being sweet as much as I'm just being honest.

[voice]

[martyrerkomplex]

[She laughs a bit. It's a warm, musical, Disney-princess sort of sound.]

Thank you... I just hope I can live up to everyone's trust!

[stophamatime]

I'm glad you're okay now.

[martyrerkomplex]

It's alright. You don't have to worry.

[eileaneathompson]

[Eli nodded. That made sense.]

"How can I help?"

[gregorydeegan]

"It's fine. And this way I know at least one of my friends will call whenever she gets hurt, so I know I can help."

[aquawayfinder]

"So long as we establish boundaries before we begin, we can do this. Would you like to come to my office?"

Something tells me you have a number of late nights ahead of you.

[martyrerkomplex]

Maybe... I could practice different emotions, and you could just tell me how you're feeling, to see if it's working?

[martyrerkomplex]

Are you really sure?

[martyrerkomplex]

Of course, whatever boundaries you need me to keep to. When are you free?

text;

[martyrerkomplex]

Probably. Between this, and my team, and the outreach club...

I just hope I'll have time for my homework, when school starts up again!

[eileaneathompson]

"Sure! Where and when?"

[gregorydeegan]

"Really sure," [he promised.]

[aquawayfinder]

"I am available for the next two hours today, and I am available for a few hours tomorrow afternoon."

[martyrerkomplex]

Whenever works for you? I mean, after class, of course, but I'm free otherwise today.

[martyrerkomplex]

...You do know what my power is?
