💭💭💭 Psychic Group Chat 💭💭💭

» Sorry about that, darlings. I won't be available except for intermittently during the day and for an hour or two in the evenings it seems. I have a form here that prevents me from using my telepathy, and apparently it's my steady state, so we'll all have to suffer a bit for that.

» I've given you all that I can glean about your counterparts here. It's a little sparse, I'm afraid. Also as some of you are already painfully aware, there are cameras all over, so be mindful.

» ~~I hate this stupid~~

» Another exciting adventure. Congrats on surviving the first day. How is everyone holding up?

Better than the rest of you, if I had to guess. But for the record, Mojo is even more repulsive up close.

[...]

You should all take care in my presence, though. Anything I see could make it back to Spiral.

What the fuck?

I would say you do not want to know, but that is never the case for you.

Correct.

Naturalmente.

She removed my eyes. Apparently. The replacements have some additional features.

Hey and again I’ll say what the fuck.
I hate mojoworld.

I could not agree more.

Any chance this ends with the rebellion burning this repugnant place to the ground?

I mean, I think we’re getting close to some really big moves, so it’s not off the table completely. If everything works.

Godspeed, then.

Thaaanks I'll give everyone a heads' up so we're not part of the fire if I have to.
Are you ok? Do you need anything? I can slip around more than most of this place so that's nice.

Gracias.

[...] I am enduring. Are you okay?

Oh, enduring. Perfect. [...] I guess at least we only have to do this for a few days. I am also enduring. I think in this universe I live in a series of basements.

Did you expect me to be thriving, Gatita?

Not ideal. But certainly preferable to the alternative. [...] Enduring carefully, I hope. Clever as you are, you do not know this place as well as your other self.

No I'm just commenting on the general baseline around here.

I might not yet, but she saw to it that I could. I have all the surveillance footage and her maps. But I am being careful. You too, ok? Especially when you interface with Jabba the Mojo. If he figured out we were us he'd probably turn that into a plot hook and I don't want to.

I should've known. She is still you, after all. [...] But sí. I will be cautious. Fortunately, he is not particularly interested in what I have to say. He just wants a yes-man.

That is barbaric.

[...]

I am sorry this place is so unpleasant. They do not hurt, do they?

You are not responsible for anything here. Why apologize for it?

[...] But no. They do not hurt.

~~But it is in some w~~ I am just sorry that we had to come. At least we know it will end. [...] It will be messy at the end, though. I am still trying to sort through all these memories.

No pain is something at least.

Is it all returning to you?

The thinnest of silver linings, but I will take it.

It is, but it is a little overwhelming, since I knew nothing of this place until now. [...] I do not think things will end well.

We must take what we can get unfortunately. Do you live somewhere comfortable?

Understandable. Even those of us that have dealt with this place before would be overwhelmed in your position, I suspect.

You will let us know if anything significant becomes clear to you, no?

Comfortable is not the word I would use. But compared to where the rest of you are, sí, I suppose I do.

Yes, of course. [...] In a few days many of us are meant to die. It is very chaotic. [....] ~~I must~~

I have a private room, so it is not so bad.

I cannot say I am surprised. [...] Chaotic how?

So optimism runs in the family, then.

Some of the rebellion will be caught and thrown into the arena. There will be all sorts of defecting and fighting. And it is all very sudden.

I am not so sure it is optimism. ~~I think we are just ready to accept~~ Maybe like Illyana said, it is simply active imaginations. We had to be creative growing up.

[...] And we have to let it happen if we hope to learn anything. Wonderful.

I was being glib. But I take your point.

[....] I am the cause of it, and I will make sure it happens. Until then it is just [...] this. [...] It ~~How can~~ It was like this when you all came, when you were younger?

You are not particularly optimistic, are you?

[...] If you are feeling guilt about it, do not. You are not responsible for your other self. And none of this is real besides. We are all just playing our parts.

There were not other mutants and Mojo was not as powerful as he seems to be here. But otherwise, it was very much like this.

I am a realist, I think.

[....] I know you are right. It still does not feel good, though. [...] But I know how to do what I must. It is a little reassuring that this has all already happened.

And you were children at the time, yes? It must have been frightening.

That is a useful thing to be, I think.

I usually am. [...] Small mercies, no? We just have to follow the script and keep our eyes open. This will be over soon.

At the time, I would've resented that assessment. But sí. We were children. None of us were prepared for it.

[....] Maybe not so modest, though. [...] ~~I am joking, of cou~~ Yes. As always, we take what we can get, and it is going alright so far especially since we knew nothing when we arrived.

You have not been to yours yet, correct?

Even now it is terrible, and we are older and know it is nothing lasting. I am glad it was only a short while for you, back then.

Edited (tries sort of joke, feels bad) Date: 2025-11-23 06:28 pm (UTC)

What has modesty ever gotten you, Piotr?

[...] No. Not yet.

That is all true. Though, he was not as prepared for us then as this Mojo is now.

All I can say is it has never caused me problems.

~~You also dislike~~

This Mojo does seem to have this figured out well. Even with the rebellion.

Just what you see?

Just what I see.

That is enough, no?

Obviously it is not good.

Is anything here good?

It could be worse.

I had no idea you were an optimist.

I am not. I just have an active imagination.

Fortunate for us all, then, that you are not in my position.

[...] How are you faring?

While it's not as bad as your situation, our home is brimming with cameras. I feel like we live in an enclosure at the zoo.

I'm hoping you're a little bit safer than the rest of us, cariño. Then I won't have to worry so much at least.

Is it a competition?

I am safe. So long as I can keep Mojo appeased. You should worry about yourself, mi corazón. [...] You have an appearance on some program tomorrow if my records are accurate.

Even if it were I'm not sure who would win amongst all of us. If that could be called winning. This place is infuriating.

At least it won't be for too long. And the diamond form I have here keeps me quite safe. It is a little annoying, though. [...] Ugh. At least I'm a good actress.

The only one winning is Mojo and that is even more infuriating.

Sí. I am glad for that. Even if your new form comes with its own complications. It is quite striking, at least.

[...] If I can decipher more, I will. This is written in some incomprehensible combination of English, shorthand, and a language I've never seen before.

Yes, it's possibly the worst part of it. Odious thing.

I look stunning, don't I? [...] It mutes my feelings, which is a strange sensation.

I'm combing minds to hopefully find something too, so don't trouble yourself too much.

[Manny]

I hate that we're back here, and I hate that you're on your own.

You have no idea.

[...] Mutes to what degree?

I have little else to do anyway. But I hope you will find something more informative.

[Emma]

So do I. I did not think this place could get worse, but clearly I was mistaken. [...] But you do not need to worry about me. This version of me seemed to have no priority higher than protecting himself. I do not like being alone, but I am in far less danger than the rest of you.

I am glad you are with Scott. Even if the situation must be [...] uncomfortable.

Nothing feels terribly strong. I can tell it's there, or that I'm meant to feel it, or I expect to feel it? It's a little off-putting, but I imagine very handy.

No interest in hanging out with your new best friend, Spiral?

[Manny]

Impressive how terrible all these places can be, isn't it? It's hard not to fuss. You're right, though — you're well-positioned, and it's a short period of time to endure.

I'm glad too. Luckily it's not so uncomfortable for me, just strange. I can only imagine how much this will be running through his head once we're home.

[...] I can see the appeal in that. But, sí, it sounds unsettling.

She is terrifying, Em. And not in the charming way that you are.

[Emma]

You always take these things in stride; the rest of us should take notes. [...] What do you anticipate he'll dwell on the most? The marriage? The child?

Particularly here.

I know darling. At least she's not a telepath, I suppose. Does it feel like you're on her good side at least?

[Manny]

It helps that he's thought about these things before, so it's not entirely foreign to me.

[...]

Ruby, I think. Children are always complicated for him.
