[It's never not going to be weird when he runs into people who don't know that term.]
Psychic. I'm psychic.
It's a term where I'm from for human kids who have gone through a bunch of bullshit medical procedures that alters your brain and body so much you disassociate from regular reality and replace it with your own personal one. If you aren't completely useless, you can impose your personality reality on the regular one using mathematical calculations.
[There's no way in hell Accelerator is going to sugarcoat the worst parts of Academy City after having had to live through it all, no sir.
That joke is so bad, though. So bad.]
If we were talking face to face I'd be rolling my eyes right now, just so you know.
The math is the easy part. I could do it in my sleep. I have done it in my sleep. My point is like practically everyone else who gets stuck here, I've got some extraordinary ability. It just came from a lab and a bunch of bastard scientists instead of me being born with it, or whatever the hell is most common here. Donatello had mentioned you guys were mutated from non-sentient turtles, so I thought that was relevant information.
[By 'relevant information' he means there's some similarities between all of them regarding being engineered in a lab. Like, 'oh yeah, you're a fucked up science experiment. So am I. Cool.']
Anyway, it’s not like he was keeping the mutation part a secret. The Hamato side of the equation is the one that various entities have beef with, and so it’s the part Leo was trying to keep from getting around.]
yeah we can start a club escaped lab experiments anonymous did the scientists who gave u powers want world domination and/or genocide or nah?
[There isn't really an 'escaped' part on his end. In fact, he's pretty sure his situation just got substantially worse back home.]
No. Espers aren't the end goal of their research, we're byproducts. They want to study the science behind how espers are produced. It's just hard to do that without actually producing espers, so there's an entire system set up to deal with that issue.
I think it's better than being created as a tool for someone else, like you guys.
gee thanks we got out of that life thanks to my dad tho which is good because the guy that mutated us is a real jerk he threw me off a roof once, did D tell you THAT??
[HE WILL NEVER LET IT GO.]
still sounds like it sucks for you tho man uh sorry
He mentioned your father, but nothing about a roof. Is there a story behind that?
[Just casually making a mental note to throw Draxum off a roof if he ever meets him nbd.]
You should be saving your fucking pity for someone else, I don't want it.
[He reeeeeaaaally doesn't deserve it.]
Anyways. My esper ability. I'm assuming you have some kind of mystic power like Donatello's mystic-tech, but he didn't specify. What I have is mostly along the lines of psychokinesis, there isn't much overlap with extrasensory perception.
uh well its kinda long short version: my big bro had something he wanted and draxum (the guy) had me so he said he'd throw me off the roof if my bro didn't hand it over bro called his bluff (EVEN THOUGH I TOLD HIM IT WASN'T A BLUFF) and he dropped me my big bro saved me tho so its cool
[Obviously, since Leo is not a smear on the NYC pavement.]
anyway hes "reformed" now ig but im not gonna let him forget that!
[He's not going to comment on the pity thing because fair enough. Leo's not big on receiving pity or sympathy either, so he lets it go.]
mines nothing like donnie's but yeah
psychokinesis so like u can set stuff on fire with your brain?
[Pffft what even is that story! These guys are real idiot heroes, it's kind of hilarious.]
Your brother's first mistake was assuming a scumbag on that level would bother bluffing. At least he made up for it by not letting you die like roadkill.
[Thumbs up to Raph.]
That's pyrokinesis, dumbass. Mine is the ability to manipulate vectors, which are the magnitude and direction of things. Displacement, force, velocity, acceleration, etc.
[Oh boy, complicated non-science stuff. This universe is really filled with it, isn't it?]
Hm. You can't just go out and buy a new one.
[He gets that much, at least.]
I'm not going to pretend I've even begun to understand your guys' abilities. Having a useful one like that be inaccessible would be difficult, though. What are you doing about that?
[Thank goodness he does, because Leo has already had to explain why that won’t fix the problem a few times. Incidentally he did buy a new one, but only for fighting - it can’t channel anything.
He’s glad Accelerator can’t see his wince. Everyone’s a critic…]
ive been training heck I was even hoping going to the flying superhero school would help it’s stabilized a little lately but not back to where it was
[Given the timing he’s pretty sure it got better after he told Huvrye about his nightmares, but he’s not going to say that if he doesn’t have to.]

From OurPowers to Discord!
Date: 2023-04-03 03:17 am (UTC)Discord seems fine.
[He'll download the app and make an account quickly, then send Leo his Discord Tag.
It's totally just Accelerator#6631.]
boom!
Date: 2023-04-03 03:30 am (UTC)alright sweet
now tell me what you guys talked about
im so so curious
[He is also ready to strangle both of them but they don't have to know that (yet).]

not gonna lie

Date: 2023-04-04 04:20 am (UTC)eh don't be too hard on him, he was just doing what he thought was right. but yes if he had let me die I would have haunted him into an early grave.

oh right, I knew that
me?

it hasnt halfway worked since I got here anyway

no subject
Date: 2023-04-04 05:30 am (UTC)Anyway, moving on.]
I dont KNOW why its not working
ive been trying to fix it
but its not like there's a user guide on this stuff
its probably because I lost a sword before I came here
no subject
Date: 2023-04-04 10:23 pm (UTC)A sword? What do you need a sword for? Does it act like some kind of conduit or focal point?
no subject
Date: 2023-04-05 03:26 am (UTC)Probably.
...Actually he has no idea but let's hope not.]
yeah kinda
I made them using my ninpo
the
inner will?
that makes my mystic powers work
im not the best at explaining this
anyway usually I use two but I lost one so
yeah
