	See if you still say that after you win a game or two. Sometimes it's hard to tell at first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All right, all right, if you say so. Telepath, huh? How does that work? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's pretty broad. If the block on your bracer's down, I can read what you're thinking and send you information. I can also affect your thoughts and senses...things like blocking pain, or giving you space to function through trauma. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds neat. Any reason why you chose pain and trauma as your examples? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mostly because it'll come up. People get hurt hunting, and some of the Games can be pretty dangerous or traumatic. There's one Judge who likes externalizing people's mindscapes and sending people in -- she basically puts you in a place that represents someone else's psyche. If you're not careful in there...well, it can be sort of messy when they wake up. People can have pretty traumatic memories, too. So mostly what I do with it, other than communication, is help with things like that.

	Oh wow. It's just a barrel of laughs here, sounds like. How dangerous and traumatic are we talking here, for the Games? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-01-17 06:32 am UTC (link)
	Depends on the Judge. Some are pretty light-hearted, some are informative. Some are bloodbaths; if you die, they revive you, but it's not pleasant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[just. this face] ... Bloodbaths! That's a little... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-01-17 06:40 am UTC (link)
	...yeah. Sorry to drop it on you, but it's better that you have warning. They're outnumbered by the games that are decent, but they happen. We'll have your back in that kind of game, though, and I'll tell you which Judges to watch out for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I guess I would have found out eventually. And you're sure I actually agreed to this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-01-17 06:42 am UTC (link)
	Everyone who's gotten their wish remembers agreeing, so it's pretty likely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-01-17 06:54 am UTC (link)
	Probably not. Some people realize earlier, but it doesn't seem to happen often. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nods You're going to hear a lot that's unpleasant, but daily life is actually pretty decent, if you don't mind the general conditions. Keep that in mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So sort of like... [draws an invisible line in the air with his finger] with occasional [drops his finger sharply] and maybe once in a while a [brings finger way up, drops it back down to the first line, then continues before dropping his hand]... more or less? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That seems like a good summary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eye_ofthe 2011-01-17 07:18 am UTC (link)

	nods Good attitude. One other basic thing. There are some things you're going to learn that you don't want to talk about outside the dorms. The Judges can't see what goes on inside here, but anything outside is fair game; particularly if you use their names. They don't respond often, but there are some topics that need to be kept quiet.

	Wait. The Judges are all-powerful enough to make this whole place and grant wishes and kill people and bring them back to life, but we can still keep secrets from them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
