the big mixup

*Vibes sighs*

Vibes: OK, we'll do this one at a time. What do you want to know?

Van: drowning out the 50,000,000 voices would help please

*Vibes smiles*

Vibes: Now that I can help with- of course this took me years so looks like
we'll need some kind of shortcut.

*She grabs Van*

Vibes: Go psychic mode and focus on me focusing on you. That way
I can channel you to listen only to the important stuff. And resist the
urge to get the really juicy gossip.

Van: oh haha *goes psychic mode and focuses on Vibes*

*Vibes smiles*

Vibes (thought): Think of this power like a radio. Tune into what you want and it gets easier to focus.

Van: got it.....

*Vibes smiles*

Vibes: Next up powers. It's not enough to just say "Strength mode" you've
got to focus on the form you want and the power from it.

Van: so you can have varying levels of each mode?

*Vibes nods*

Vibes (thought): In theory yes. But you've got to be careful.

Van: ok...i think that's good for now. now for you

*Vibes nods*

Vibes: Yeah so each time I try to double soul I seem to end up getting
something totally different. What's going on?

Van: well first off your going for one of my stronger abilities off the bat.

*Vibes groans*

Vibes: But it's so cool!

Van: but it takes a lot of focus and knowledge to use. you can't have an ego while trying to use it cause then your half focusing on how awesome you are, right?

*Vibes looks awkward*

Vibes: Oh...right. So what about your other abilities then? And also the
fact your body makes me feel really itchy.

Van: ......i'm going to ignore that last comment. for the other abilities it's a matter of collecting power and focusing on where it goes. like the shadow fire balls i focus on collecting shadows in my hand and having them heat up to fire levels

*Vibes raises an eyebrow*

Vibes: OK...

*Grabs at a shadow but nothing happens*

Vibes: What am I doing wrong?

Van: it's like a cat. don't grab at the shadows. let them come to you

*Vibes nods*

Vibes: Right...

Van: and if it helps start with using the shadows to boost your strength

*Vibes grins*

Vibes: Wow. This is awesome!

Van: yeah. it helps to have a master teach you

*Vibes raises an eyebrow*

Vibes: What was that about ego?

Van: didn't you say i needed one. besides i didn't just mean my powers. i got some of your's down faster than you because you taught me as opposed to figuring them out myself like you did.

*Vibes laughs*

Vibes: LOL good point. Still hope Penny and Carmy are sorting things out.
