Skye looked back at the professor again to see she was still engaged in the conversation. So much so that she actually valued the words he was saying and it kind of embarrassed him. He never had anyone pay him THAT much attention to him and it got him a little heated and accidentally apologizing when he really shouldn't be. He'd apologized again but he bit his tongue to prevent a second embarrassment. She seemed to be enjoying herself so there was no reason to get all worrisome over nothing. So telekinesis didn't exactly work like he had thought, he was certain that there was more to it, it seemed there had to be an understand of how objects moved and the kinetic energy that it took to move said object. He wondered if this was just something that telepaths had to keep in mind or if it was just something that happened subconsciously? Skye nodded and waited until she was finished before he had asked any other questions. “Out of curiosity, do you know any other traits that aren't your own?” He only asked because he was certain that there was something else he had aside the spirit sensing. But he wasn't sure, how common was it for abilities to double up? “Since you gave two traits is it safe to say that traits can double up for people? Or is this one of those strange anomalies you're looking into?” As far as he was concerned having abilities was a lot more common than people would assume. Given the numerous times that his senses would go off, but since not many people knew about their own abilities these kind of occurrences went unchecked. Honestly he didn't even know he had these abilities until…. “Actually, uh I know I'm asking you a lot of questions but this one is rather personal...when did you realize you had your abilities? When did they surface? Did...did uhm something happen to you?” He wasn't sure if there had been any study on how these abilities surface but it said a lot about people with skills if a traumatic experience was required to have them even work. The implications would be phenomenal and he's a huge nerd good grief! He needed to stop talking to himself in his mind, now he was creeping himself out. Katie Cooper

you'vegotabigheart THAT'S THE WAY YOU SEE THE WORLD Katie nodded looking down at Cayce who began to make a slight trilling purr, sort of like a cat but more distinctive to that of the Espeon.
“There are different branches of mental abilities, one being the psychic abilities that fall under the telepathic branch, others under the empathic, and then the clairvoyant. These main branches address the mental, astral, and ethereal planes respectively, each branch has distinct individual abilities while in some cases you have a “double up” of the two. Even some abilities can split off into two different branches. For example, Precognition is both a mental trait and an ethereal trait depending on its function. There are some who can perform pre-cognitive telepathy and others who can perform pre-cognitive clairvoyance. One sees future thoughts and intentions of the individual while the other shows future events and actions on a grander scale.” She paused for a moment thinking about other psychic anomalies that would be applicable.
“Psychic suggestion is another branch that has a couple of manifestations, this combines both the mental and astral planes. Psychic Suggestion is where the user can bend their subject’s thoughts and emotions to get a desired action. Then you have someone who can control their own dream world and even in advanced cases it is speculated that with the proper control could cross into another’s dream world, this trait I imagine can consult with the ethereal plane as well but there has not been an abundance of subjects to perform a cast study on.”
She thought for another moment and then as if a light switched on reminding her of her next thought she continued “there is also a relatively unknown, unexplored trait that takes the astral plane and allows it to appear more physical to the user. Usually they are referred to as Aura User’s…Lucario is one such pokemon that can use aura sensing.”
She then grew silent for a moment contemplating his last question and nodded, this young man was indeed very self-observant. She sensed some emotional tension and grief as he spoke, the insecurity also crept up in his voice. She knew that feeling all too well. “When I was four I lost my mother in a horrific accident that I was witness to. It is my belief based on what I know of PTSD and trauma that, that event may have been the trigger for my psychic traits to begin developing. I am currently in the works of putting together a case study to test my theory…nothing has been solidly determined as of yet.”
She smiled softly hearing the string of thoughts that ran in the young man’s mind. Perhaps he would be interested in participating in the case study, considering how that would go she could also use a keen minded individual with aptitude as an assistant, maybe even get him into college so he could learn from and contribute to the academic world of parapsychology.

There was so much about psychic abilities he had yet to learn, he had never heard of precognition or psychic suggestion. The latter sounded very dangerous, to be able to make other people do what you wanted. Someone could very easily become corrupted by their own ability, it reminded him of his own with possession and what not. He remembered the first time it happened, he hoped that it would not come to that again. What she has said about aura abilities was interesting he did remember seeing Lucien use it and he made it sound like he was learning somehow so it couldn't have been that unexplored right? Suddenly the professor grew silent, for a moment Skye thought he has asked her something too personal and she was upset now. Before the dread could even set in she nodded. She then began to explain her childhood trauma, wow that must've been very horrific. Skye lost a lot of things but at least he didn't see his parents burn to death. He still wonders how was he knocked out during the entire time the building was on fire? Perhaps whoever started the fire wanted to ensure that he was very well dead? He wouldn't know and he won't know until he decided to go home and solve the mystery maybe. "Oh...I'm sorry Professor....I know how you feel. When I was a kid there was an accident that claimed my parents' lives and permanently disfigured me...." As he says this he places a hand on his face covering. "It's so bad I have to wear this prosthetic." Of course the mask served many purposes. It kept foreign particals away from the open areas of his face, protected the exposed old wounds from sun as well, the sun was very bad for the tender and overly sensitive skin that remained on his face. And most importantly it hid the scars from the public eye. Sure Skye was a little self conscious about his scars but there was nothing he could do about it. So in time he learned to accept them. The only problem was that everyone else seemed to have a hard time accept it rather than having to constantly deal with stares and other hurtful things it was better that he creeped people out than make them sick to their stomach. "Uhm, if you uh would like some help...I still have a few books I've collected on the subject of psychic abilities. They're from Alola so it might give you a new perspective?" Katie Cooper

you'vegotabigheart THAT'S THE WAY YOU SEE THE WORLD Katie surveyed the young man’s face, or false face rather, with kind understanding. If he was disfigured enough to find moderate comfort obscuring his face then he bore a lot of pain and burdens. She could relate in sense with her psychic traits, she could also empathize with his reclusive reasons due to her empathy. She felt so much of the burdens of other people when she was exposed to them that she felt like the freak when she was younger. After years of testing, poking and prodding she just didn’t bother with telling many people now.
His offer of sharing with her some of the books he had on the topic intrigued her, she had heard that some research was beginning to surface from the Alolan region and she had yet to receive any of the publishing’s.
She turned to her backpack and pulled out a card. It bore her name and information for her office in the League headquarters, her lab was not listed though as it was her place of residence. “I would appreciate that very much,” she said extending to him her business card “Here is my contact information, feel free to come by my office during my business hours. Also, if you would be interested I am compiling a case study, its non-invasive, but the premise is to begin documenting the various manifestations of psychic traits through observation.” She paused giving him a moment to digest the information before she continued “You would be compensated of course for your participation. For a young man with your particular set of skills I would also invite you to consider submitting an application to my office to be employed as one of my assistants if you have the interest.”
She didn’t disclose that should he apply and his application be accepted that she would be in consideration of a work-study scholarship to the University she worked for. As an esteemed professor she had the opportunity to extend such invitations on the ground of exceptional skill, performance, and potential. He would have to do the work though to gain acceptance to the assistantship first then the rest could go from there. NOTES: |TAGS: | WORD COUNT: :MADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GANGNAM STYLE

The professor turned away and back to hand Skye a business card, he briefly read off the information on it. Ah she was with the Veria League, he didn't realize that League affiliated with scientists like this. He only really knew of the battle aspect of it, it was certainly a pleasant surprise. He would have to make a trip out to where ever this was to drop the books off. He looked over to her as she spoke about some case study she was working on, she wanted to document the various abilities through observation. It sounded quite interesting, but he wasn't sure if he should be showing off his powers when he knew of the reprocussions of misusing them would bring. But at the same time he wanted to provide information for the next person that discovered their abilities that are like his. He didn't have anything like that so how could he deny people a chance to about his abilities to help the next guy out? "Hmm, it sounds rather tempting. I would be more than happy to participate granted that I don't reveal my name, remaining anonymous or using a pseudonym if your case study is going outside of Veria." He then paused for a moment. "Also, my ability can be quite dangerous uhm so I guess you should prepare for stuff to happen?" Huh? What was that? She wanted him to apply for being her assistant? Really? She sees potential in him to do that sort of thing? Skye scracthed his head, he was flattered and surprised. "Uhh, really? You think I could do stuff like what you're doing?" Katie Cooper

Katie nodded in response to all of his comments and inquiries “Of course we can keep your name anonymous, it has to be for legal purposes as well. Your identity will be kept safe on all accounts for the study,” she assured him kindly before addressing his next concern “I am planning on having the proper equipment and pokemon available to help create a controlled environment and handle any such issues that may arise. While I cannot 100% promise your safety, I can 100% promise everything will be done to ensure that you are safe…you are the one that knows your traits better than anyone so in any instance always communicate and I will listen.” She pledged and then smiled at his surprise at her suggestion.
She nodded as Cayce lifted his head from her lap and looked at the young man approvingly and nodded slightly as he sniffed towards him. “While not knowing you entirely well simply based from our conversation you hold a great deal of potential for the field. Pair that with your natural inclination to it with your own traits…it would be an asset to the community. There are not many professional’s in the field with real life experience to add to their work.” She explained “Even more is that your knowledge and composure would be compatible for the entry level position that could pave a path for your future, I wasn’t much younger than you when I began university. Who knows? A young man like you could be one of the foundation pillars to the field.”
Katie had been encouraged in her youth by her mentor in a similar fashion and she was beginning to understand the significance of not only encouraging the future but also investing in it personally. It was what being a teacher implied in the mantle around one’s shoulders. Perhaps she could positively impact this young man, she could only imagine with what little she knew and had observed that it was probably a much needed influence.
