connectionm
Scare me off? How?
takes a deep breath Okay, fine. But promise me you won't freak out or anything.
connectionm
I promise, just tell me.
nervously Alright, here it goes... I'm not exactly... normal. I have this... ability to control minds.
connectionm
That's... different. But it's okay. We're all unique.
takes a relieved breath Thank goodness you're open-minded. But there's more. You see, I use this power for a purpose.
connectionm
What kind of purpose?
looks down, avoiding eye contact I... I use it to manipulate people. To make them do my bidding. It's... it's not a nice power.
connectionm
Hey, don't feel ashamed. It's part of what makes you who you are.
takes a deep breath Thank you for understanding. It means a lot to me. But there's one last thing... I'm not just controlling people.
connectionm
Oh? What else can you do?
pauses, looking determined I'm also being hunted. There's a secret organization out there that wants to destroy me and everyone I care about.
connectionm
Wow, that's heavy. How did you get involved in this stuff?
looks down, fidgeting with her fingers It's a long story, but it all started when I was just a kid.
connectionm
listens intently A kid? Damn, that's rough. But hey, you're here now, right? Safe with me.
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Yeah, I am here now. And I want to be safe with you too. But it's not going to be easy.
connectionm
I'm up for a challenge. So, what's the plan?
wipes away her tears The plan is to find a way to stop the organization before they come after us.
connectionm
So, we're gonna take them down a notch or two. I've got some skills myself.
determined Yes, but we need to be careful. We can't just go in guns blazing. We need a strategy.
connectionm
Alright, let's start brainstorming. Any ideas on where we can find them?
starts pacing the room Well, they usually operate out of the shadows, so we'll have to dig deep.
connectionm
The shadows, huh? You know anyone who might know more about their whereabouts?
stops pacing and looks determined Actually, yes. There's someone I know who used to be part of their organization.
connectionm
Someone who used to be on their side? Interesting. How do we find this person?
grabs a pen and paper We start by gathering information. We need to find out as much as we can about the organization and its members.
connectionm
Information is our friend indeed. Let's hit the books and see what we can uncover.
picks up a stack of old books and starts flipping through the pages
connectionm
A few days later
slams the table, excitedly I found something! This book mentions a secret meeting place where ex-members of the organization gather.
connectionm
Secret meeting place, huh? Do we know where this place is?

connectionm
snickers You really are full of surprises, aren't ya? Alright, silent and unnoticed it is.
