Chance of what?

Permalink

Any method she might be able to use to clearly improve her abilities to use her magic?

Permalink

That depends on what she means by 'magic,' here. To do the little cantrips she's been doing it suffices to be very relaxed, and pay lots of attention to what she's doing. Maybe hyperfocused, even, and she's vaguely heard of some drugs that could help, too.

Permalink

… She's not sure how much she wants to try drugs, really. But maybe, depending on the side effects.

Permalink

Practice paying attention to things that don't matter probably helps, too, and to the threads.

Permalink

She has heard things about, like, checking you can read and checking clocks make sense, as a way to help you lucid dream… Maybe that would help.

Permalink

It would!

Permalink

She will get to trying to make that a habit, then!

"Works on itself," she reports.

Permalink

"Did you get any new things?"

Permalink

"… By just looking at it? Nope, but I know how to get better at using what I know I have?"

Permalink

"Could you see if you can improve the sense itself, using it?"

Permalink

"The planning-type sense? I was mainly looking at the small luck-changing thing instead."

Permalink

"I'm still confused about what you actually feel when you're using this sense thingy."

Permalink

"It's not really a sense? It's– more just knowing how things fit together?" Pause. "Well I guess that could seem like a sense, sort of seeing how things will ripple forwards and what they'll affect?"

Permalink

"Hmmm... So can you do it the other way around, then? Like, instead of trying to figure out what you need to do in order to achieve some goal, figure out what happens when you do something?"

Permalink

"… I think so? That's sort of how it was going, sort of back-and-forth, but I started with a goal not an action, so I haven't actually tried it." Pause. "How's screaming, I could see what happens if I scream?"

Permalink

"Sure. As long as you, like, maybe don't."

Permalink

"I don't plan on screaming, no, but I might be able to see what'd happen anyway? Or if that doesn't work I could try something a little less – dramatic."

Permalink

"Eh, go ahead."

Permalink

She tries looking at what happens if she screams! Presumably not as much jumping from Sadde and Theo now they know it's a possible idea.

Permalink

Not from Theo, yes from Sadde. It is quite likely she will scowl at Ev if Ev screams. And depending on how she screams and when she could, say, cause that one mug to break.

Permalink

Huh.

"I might be – might have been – able to get you to break that mug, if I screamed in a particular way. So yep, it works."

Permalink

"This is much cooler than it looked at first."

Permalink

"It does seem to be! Less just small boring telekinesis."

Permalink

"Do you guys have any more ideas for stuff you could test?"
