2nd Floor Common Room [Wednesday Evening]

Bridge is in the Common Room, notebook on his lap as he studies for finals.

Of course, he'd probably be better able to focus on studying if the TV wasn't on. But there it was.

Comments

Okay, now Bridge is sort of internally flailing.

"Sorry," he says apologetically. "I didn't mean to, um, bring up bad memories."

Alanna shrugged. "Don't really care. At least if he's dead he's no longer sending letters to "Alan" and addressing them to Thom." She laughed lightly. "That's what I tell myself at least. So what's your home like then? How'd you get weird powers when it's not normal?"

Bridge shrugs. "No idea," he says. "I've just always been able to see... differently. Two of my friends back home have weird powers too. Sky can make invisible shields, and Syd can turn her hands into whatever she touches. Never try and spar with a girl whose fists are made of iron," he tells Alanna.

"Woah. I'll uh, keep that in mind. That must be cool."

"It can be, yeah," Bridge grins.

Alanna grinned back at him. "So what can you do?"

"Sense any kind of psychic energy- thoughts and auras, and even just the traces that are left behind after you leave a place." Bridge explains. "That's why I wear the gloves, because it's a little distracting to see that *all* the time."

"Oh. Wow, yeah I'd imagine that would be distracting." Alanna paused for a moment. "Can you see a person's future?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Only the really recent future. At least, so far." Bridge says. "Like, if something big was gonna happen to you next week? I could tell. But not if it was, like, four or five years from now."

Alanna nodded. "And you always need your hands for all your powers?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yup," Bridge nods. "The gloves don't block everything, but at least the rest is just background noise."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"What about, I don't know, different type of gloves? Or possibly some sort of magicked gloves or something?"

"I don't know," Bridge says. "I'm kind of used to it. I switched bodies with Anders and Cally, once, and spent the whole day without my abilities. It was... quiet," he shudders a little.
