Kind of forward for a first date, I know, but do any of you have access to tech that can give a guy a clean brain scan? Looking for foreign organics, not the chip.

And has anyone tested the limits of the empathy bond? If not, consider this recruitment for some extreme handholding. Also forward, but I promise I'll buy you a drink as soon as I get my allowance.

just trying to hold all my hands i see

[stabilis]

Don't worry, we'll work on your stamina.

[ sorry ]

My name's Johnny, by the way. Did you notice anything weird in those few minutes?

Other than someone else's feelings. Obviously.

"all my hands" is a creepy phrase

[forcevisions]

Only when I was sick.

There was an illness. Some kind of contagion from an apartment fire. It made people aggressive. Several minutes of contact fixed it.

[stabilis]

[ Oh. That's........ weird. ]

All people? Or just people like us.

b y e

[forcevisions]

Any people who touched people like us.

come back

[ A little like D'av— he could "cure" people with ""prolonged contact""", too. Kind of like a big stupid biological magnet, which isn't super relevant. Except for the part where it was all on the same spectrum. ]

Whatever infected those people must be based on the same building blocks as whatever gives us the link. Same tech, same biology. Same magic, maybe.

[ but also definitely not magic. ]

cw: unhealthy relationship in these subject lines

[forcevisions]

Then it was probably created by the same people who experimented on us.

lmAO FUCk also 1/2

Seems like a weird way to test their new bioweapon.

Were any of you affected? Could you touch yourselves?

[stabilis]

[ wait. ]

Prolonged contact, I mean. Healing the contagion.

[forcevisions]

Some of us were affected, yes. And touching ourselves didn't fix it. Other people like us had to touch us.





There has to be a better way to put this.

[stabilis]

I don't know, this way's growing on me.

If it was a straightforward "cure" then it should've cleared it out of your own systems, but maybe it was more like magnets cancelling each other out.

[forcevisions]

Are you a scientist? You should talk to @stephen.strange and @clarke.griffin.

[stabilis]

I dabble.

But thanks, Clarke said the same thing. Steve must be a popular guy.

[forcevisions]

He's effective.

I don't know much about biology. Most of what I understand is machines.

[stabilis]

[ wow a mysterious internet stranger after his own heart ]

Well, that's because biology sucks. Technology is a billion times better, minimum.

Any specific machines?

[forcevisions]

Spacecraft.

[stabilis]

Hells yes. Have you had a chance to work on any of the tech here?

[forcevisions]

Hoverbikes, mostly. I work in a garage.

[ reads. laughs. shitposts. ]



remind me to define "touching yourself" in 21st century lingo, rey

[forcevisions]

I know what it means!

[evite]

do other people usually have to help you out with that?

[forcevisions]

No. But I'll keep your interest in mind.

[evite]

if it helps you, i'm flattered

[forcevisions]

You—

[ damMIT she thought she was being so clever. and now she's the one who's wound up showing her ass. ]

That's not what I meant!

[evite]

don't hurt my feelings, rey
i thought we had something special

[ womp womp. ]

[forcevisions]

You're a menace.
