Then … my sister’s voice. I can’t make sense of it. I’m thinking maybe my sister is a mind reader like me, but … can mind readers share dreams? Or is this unrelated to her sleeping?

I just feel really lost. Anyone have any ideas?

damnnnnn, man, these just get better and better! I can’t wait for the next installment—I hope we find out what’s going on with the sister!

Christ, dude, we don’t want to ban anyone but c’mon, how did you even find this sub?

Crap. n/onmyown?

onmyown

Yeah, I’m on it.

This might be a dumb question (I don’t know your relationship to That Place) but why doesn’t she just go there and find out for certain?

I mean, my relationship with them is totally fine. My time there wasn’t exactly … fun? But it was definitely helpful. I know folks have mixed feelings, but, as tough as it was, I don’t think I’d be where I am today, have the control I do, without spending time there. I think my sister hasn’t thought about going because … what would she ask? I know that That Place helps Unusuals who are new to their abilities, but they don’t exactly diagnose someone who hasn’t actually shown any real evidence of having an ability. I’m not sure they’d know what to do with her.

For anyone who might not take n/thatsahumanperson’s comment about The Powers That Be shutting us down seriously, that has actually happened before. If it hadn’t been for n/theneonthorn’s backups, we would have lost this whole community.

onmyown

Oh, is that why we’re the unusuals and not just community/Unusuals?

theneonthorn

yep. don’t mess with TPTB.

Sorry for using the throwaway, there’s some folks I wouldn’t want finding out I post on here. I’m a telekinetic and, while I’ve never experienced what you’re talking about, I totally have seen two … Unusuals (that’s the term you use on here, right?) with the same ability clash before. I work with people like us and it really does sound like something is going on with your sister (I read through your other posts). I think you should suggest that she goes to the place that helps folks like us, if you live nearish one that is, which it sounds like you do. Worst-case scenario, she goes in for one appointment and they send her home.
