It's Called "Telepathy"

[tastes_of_honey]

"If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence."
-- George Eliot, Middlemarch

"I woulda called that telekinesis more. Grass growing tickles if pay too much attention to it."

She was using the grass growing thing as more of a metaphor, but sure.

It annoys me when people don't give me much credit for being as sane as I am when it's not easy.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"People annoy me in general. Besides, most of them don't realize that staying sane takes effiort."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

That too. I have to make some allowances because it's not like we can kill everybody. We'd still need people to make stuff for us and be sex slaves.

"We could ship most of them off to another continent though. I hear Antarctica has lots of space."

They need some supervision though. Even the supervisors need some supervision. It's a shame you can't trust people to be competent.

"You can trust them to be incompetent though. You just pick some of the really useless ones to teach the rest how to be not stupid, and they should mostly all be dead before too long."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

But you have to control the number that survive. I don't trust them not to kill too many off.

Saying that kind of thing without context could come off sounding like a threat, y'know.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Wasn't meant that way. I prefer to be open about it when I threaten people.

Though I have broken a few enemies by giving them a taste of what I hear all the time.

A little paranoia goes a long way.

So what gives, then, Schukins? Middlemarch on your reading list this week, or are you in need of a decent pair of earplugs?

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

"Schukins"? I didn't realize we were so close already!

I haven't had time to read lately, but I was in New York City on a job and saw the quote inside a train car I was running through.

Ear plugs can't help me.

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

You're behind, man. Seriously.

Metaphorical ear plugs, of course. But you're right, it's probably too late for that.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Too late for the tinfoil hat too.

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

It's never too late for a tinfoil hat.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

For me it depends on how stylish it looks.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

If it's easy people get pissy. I know.

"Hey. Long time no see." Yotan seems a little tense, but he's doing a great job not thinking about any of the things that are causing it.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

That's for sure. You and your paramour have been scarce lately. I'm glad you came by.

::Yohji's tension feels scratchy to Schu, so he'll see what he can do. He actually kind of likes this Yohji.::

[wireboundheart.livejournal.com]

"I've been nurs- er, healing up a shoulder injury." Eh-heh. That was a little too close to what Yohji doesn't want to think about.

"The new team seems to think I can't stay out of trouble so I was grounded until now."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

That makes sense. You're going to need that shoulder working well for the rest of your life.

::If Yotan were well-adjusted, he wouldn't be Weiß.::

You have to admit that you're a magnet for it.

[wireboundheart.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Sex is way less complicated with it healed." Because that is totally why getting healed was important.

"I completely admit it. Hell, even my shrink admitted it, which is oddly depressing."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Being well makes a lot of it easier, I agree. But I'm sure Aya likes all your parts working for more than just sex.

That's not so odd. Thing is, once everyone, including you, agrees that it's a problem, you know you should work on fixing it.

"Working together is nice.... And the flowershop sucks a lot less when the girls don't have such an obvious reason for being pests."

"Yeah, but before that the he was all about me facing my issues and stuff. Now he thinks some of them might be justified." Yohji grimaces.
