I know people have talked about waking up with strange hair and eye colors. I read some of the older posts, and Zodiac mentioned it too.

Has anyone... woken up with tattoos? On top of everything else?

This isn't the only thing that's become a problem.

I... keep going places. Vanishing away. One minute I was looking in my mirror, and then I was in the mall. Kitchen. Library. Corner store. Home again. I'm tired of it.

How do I control it...? How do I make it s








Update: Park fountain this time. My socks are wet.

This is so annoying...

[Well that's. Concerning.]

Is it teleportation, or are you perhaps having memory issues?

[He'll switch it to voice on his end, just assuming that it's easier for her. His is a soft one, belonging to a teenage boy with a slightly bratty edge to it.]

I don't have memory issues.

[He totally has memory issues but this is different.]

I blink and appear somewhere else. Sometimes I'm even in the middle of something.

[thaumewturge]

[Eh, sounds like her nephews. Or a student. Or any number of Ishgardians!]

It is a valid concern. Possession can result in odd memory blackouts that have no other explanation, and if it's that and not simply oddly timed teleportation...

[wavemastery]

Possession?

[That actually sends a chill through him.]

Possessed by what, exactly?!

voice;

[thaumewturge]

Well, back home it could be any manner of voidsent--what people here call demons--and in one particularly memorable case the anger and grief of a dead dragon. [Estinien.] Here I'm hardly certain, but I would imagine at the very least demons could still possess you.

You can teleport? I think you need some more practice and maybe that's why you keep going places.

[That makes the most sense, right?]

[wavemastery]

Teleporting... I guess that's the best word for it. Like it's a video game...

[This kid might have a point.]

How do I practice something when I can't figure out why it happens...?

[speaksanimal]

I suppose you're going to have to expect it? Like you have to be prepared for the unexpected?

Or you can try to focus and see if you can try to teleport somewhere? That's how it happens with video games!

[wavemastery]

Oh. Maybe... I didn't even think about it that way...

[Video games. He knows video games!]

All right, let me try.

[wavemastery]

IT WORKED

[speaksanimal]

That's great! All it takes is practice!

I know I have to do the same with talking to animals too! Even if I don't really understand them completely!

[icyboy]

Has anyone witnessed you teleporting?

[wavemastery]

My dad. He just said, "oh! I didn't see you there," like I wasn't five miles away a moment before.

[icyboy]

That doesn't sound like something that someone who just witnessed teleportation would say.

[wavemastery]

Of course not, but he doesn't understand what's going on. He didn't even notice the tattoos on my face. No one outside of the people with this app notice anything.

[icyboy]

I have had that same issue with my hair change. It's like anyone without the app can't see what we do.

[camaleonico]

This happened to me in my labyrinth. But not in the city. Sucks, though, huh?

[ He's empathetic, really, he is... Don't mind the dry delivery... ]

video; best un for camilo tbh

[wavemastery]

[Even though he's turned on the video, the camera is decidedly not on Tsukasa. He's not sure how he feels about how he looks but it's freaking him out. On the other hand, he has a pretty nice phone and it's capturing the random people running around the park perfectly. Oh, and Tsukasa's poor wet Converse sneakers as he literally dumps water out of them with his free hand.]

Your labyrinth?

[He is certainly... interested.]

Can you tell me more about what happened? All of this is... still new to me. A month ago I was a normal student, until I wasn't...

lol ty i'm never changing it, undecided forever

[camaleonico]

Every other turn I took, it kept turning into a new place. A jungle, a swamp, snow, a city, desert, mountains, volcano... You name it. Maybe it's happening to you now cuz you're stressed out? That's what mine was like. My moods affected it. Have you been stressed lately?

[ He felt like his mom. But like... if his mom had a curse instead of a gift. It was the scariest experience of his life, don't mind the pinch of salt in his tone. ]

[wavemastery]

[It doesn't bother Tsukasa any. He has a tendency to sound unenthused.]

Hm... I haven't ended up anywhere like that yet. It's all places in the city that I know of, even if I don't know what they look like. But... I've definitely been stressed... I'm close to graduation, and I have a lot of college credits riding on my AP results.

Maybe the stress is making it impossible to control...?

[camaleonico]

Yeah. I don't know what any of that means, but yeah. Maybe you should try de-stressing things and see if it helps? That's how I got out of my labyrinth. If it worked there, I dunno, could work here?

un: hikari-vi

[whiteshroud]

Sounds like you got teleportation. I have something like that too.

[wavemastery]

What? How long...? No, that's not important...

How do you control it? How do you keep from teleporting all over?

[whiteshroud]

Well, I usually only teleport when I think an incantation and have a mental image of where I want to go.

Though it sounds like yours is more sensitive.

[wavemastery]

Someone else said it might be because I'm stressed. I don't need an incantation, but an image to focus on might help...

[A pause.]

School again?
