    hey guys, this is an update to let you know that my posting will be spastic for a while. My laptops LCD broke and I currently have no way to fix it meaning that I will have to use computers college campus to post. I will post as much as I can.

    When browsing the roster, don't be intimidated by the number of abilities listed there. Only a small portion of those are ever in play at once. Since this a freeform game, players come and go all the time. So if you're on the verge of scrapping a potential ability just because someone else has already claimed it, then think again; It may turn out that the player who made that claim is long gone.

    EDIT: If anyone has any suggestions for an esper power, let me know.
    Ok, this is off the top off my head: How about an ability which subtly alters other people's memories of the user? So, for example, he could make a complete stranger think that he's an acquaintance of theirs; Or walk into a new school and pass himself off as a 2-year student; Or change an ally into an enemy. Naturally, this would work best on 'retcons' that were plausible, consistent with existing memories, and unlikely to be examined closely. The more that a memory pushed its luck, the more likely it'd be to come undone.

    Hmm, I did think of it that way. But I'm completely in 'think of new ability' mode right now, so I won't bother worrying about it.

    I thought about your memory alteration suggestion and I decided to put my own twist on it. Then, somehow I ended up with "the ability to make mental copies of other people's personality." I'm not entirely sure what this entails yet, so I'll dwell on it out a bit more.

    Heh, sorry for stealing your idea first, Monticularis! ^_^'

    Hmm, mental copies of other people's personalities? Hmm, I may have some ideas, though those can be terrible:

    a) An ability that makes Jun able to mimic the personal traits of a person for a short while, ranging from their body language to how easy they get angry. This would not be the most useful of abilities, unless a particular quality (Being calm in the face of danger, being intimidating, being seemingly drunk, &c.) would be useful in a situation.

    b) Making phantoms of other people, either as automatons re-enacting a particular scene or mimicking how the person would act. Could be a nice way to record events or spy on people.

    c) The ability to "steal" a particular moment or aspect from someone's brain. Might be a bit difficult to do in FreeForm, but could work as a thing that is attempted. Would essentially transfer memory or mental states to Jun. Could even be limited to just mental states, making Jun able to absorb someone's anger/sadness/happiness/&c.

    Hope some of that inspires an idea better than mine, and welcome to RailgunITP!

    PS: I apologise for being around so little that I seemed long gone. School is busy as usual and I am looking a lot forward to graduation and summer. Will try to post a bit soon and get over my simultaneous fears of jumping in and starting new scenes as well. ^_^'

    I am. So long as there's even one other person who doesn't want this RP to die, I'll stick around. Speaking of which, would you care to post for Crocell? Kin's been falling from that tree for nearly a month now...

    And Krystal's been waiting to break her fall.

    I'm still in. Not sure about anybody else, though.

    Indeed. A noble gesture which, unfortunately, will likely end badly. So unless Crocell wants both his new friends to get slammed against hard concrete, a timely rescue would be most advisable.

    I was actually in the middle of posting when the forums went down. So yes, still here.

    I am! I must admit that I honestly forgot to post, for which I am deeply sorry. m(_ _)m

    However, I would like to point out that it is quite difficult to know if one can enter a scene or if it is in a closed area. I can tell that the last few posts involve falling off a branch, but as the last location tag was over two pages ago, I have no idea if Katsu or Yua could pass by or if they are in a secret underground garden intended for the cultivation of Esper-suppresing plant spores. ^_^'

    Admittedly, that last one probably is a bit off, but with all the conspiracies and secret organisations, I would not doubt it... X3

    Katsu runs about over roofs and such, right? He could find Ryuu in her little garden-thing, if you like, as could Yua if you can justify her getting there...

    Crocell and the two Ks are currently outside one of Tokiwadai's dorms. And yes, it has indeed been quite a while since that fact was last mentioned.

    Katsu runs in such places, indeed. As for Yua, it depends on what a little garden-thing is and where it is. Is it on a roof, a private garden inside a building or just a closed-off space visible from outside?

    That certainly is somewhere any of my characters could be, will get on to rudely interrupting them soon! :3

    In all seriousness, would a character frantically looking for help in dealing with a murder be fit for the situation, or would a less doom-and-oh-noes character work better?

    Actually, some serious drama might be welcome right now. The whole 'secret darkness' aspect of Academy City hasn't been getting much screentime lately. Bringing it into focus again would give the characters a chance to stretch their creative legs and explore new territory.

    It's a little courtyard outside. Not particularly hard to get to, but hidden unless you stumble onto it through some alleyways or come from above.

    Yua it is, then. Hopefully, the secret darkness will be illuminated without needing another bloodbath. ^_^

    And it seems Katsu has come from above, I feel kind of bad for sending Ryuu against that. ^_^'

    Whoah, sorry, I've been rather busy and the lack of activity in this thread made me stop checking for a few days. Glad it's not dead. I still am rather busy, but I'll make the time for post as regularly as I can.

    While I don't think any of us would object as such to doing more with this... It's been two years since the last post in this thread, so.

    That wasn't a technical no, yes! Which now brings me to this point; I don't know exactly how to chose an esper power for a character that is brewing in my mind. Some help would be appreciated.
