Ah...good afternoon. Forgive me, I'm not quite used to doing things in this manner. But that is kind of why I am contacting you all today.

On the previous mission, I realized that this communication device is useful but that we might benefit more by other means. I'm new so I'm afraid I don't know too many of you and so I hope I am not over stepping by asking this.

But I was curious...Is there anyone else that has communicated with others via a more internal method? Where I am from we have these communication arrays that we access using spiritual power. And if you know a person's personal password you can communicate directly with them through your minds.

[That is the most general way he can describe that...he just hopes he is making things clear.]

It got me thinking that during missions that might be monitored by an enemy, it might be convenient to have such a form of communication that they wouldn't be able to track. Granted I haven't been on many missions so I don't know how many times this would be useful...but it is good to be prepared for any situation.

I'm sorry I have rambled on...

Basically I was asking if anyone else also has communicated in that way in the past and if it might be something useful that those of us with that ability might be able to help contribute to missions in some way.

Yeah, we've got several kinds of 'psychic-type' abilities here - I can communicate with a certain few from my world, and a few others on top of that - but we've been on worlds where those were blocked, too. Granted, that was part of what we were there to fix...

So it's a mixed bag.

It's good to know that option is available at times though! I would be curious to see if I might be able to communicate with you all in that way as well.

Do you have personal passwords in order to contact one another?

Re: [Video]

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita visibly shrugs.]

Passwords no, but I know how to do shielding so I can block people outright. Consent itself is pretty essential to what I do, after all.

It's easier to initiate contact in person, anyway, if we want to test this out. After that it's not strictly required.

Re: [Video]

[lucklessgege]

I would have to give you my password in order for you to get into my head, but if you don't have one then I might still be able to communicate with you if I initiate it.

I don't mind meeting and testing this out as long as you are willing.

Re: [Video]

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita nods, this time.]

That sounds fine by me. Want me to come by your cabin, or should we take it to one of the training gyms?

... Or someplace more peaceful than that, maybe.

Re: [Video]

[lucklessgege]

Perhaps someplace more peaceful. This could be a delicate experiment and not having a lot of outside distractions could prove beneficial.

You have a preferred booth in the Quiet Car?

[Though it probably doesn't need to be locked, not for this.]

Re: [Video]

[lucklessgege]

I actually have not been to the Quiet Car before. I look forward to seeing it. So if you have a preferred booth then we can use that.

[Video]->[Action], I presume?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita... looks briefly surprised at that, but nods anyway.]

It's on the second level; I'll wait outside it for you, okay?

[And she will, in some nonindicative t-shirt and slacks combo, with her orange hoodie tied around her waist as has become her norm.]

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Do you mean a system of organized telepathy based on...what kind of spiritual energy? Like Chi? or Magicallly based?

[lucklessgege]

Mine is based on spiritual energy, but other types might also exist. It would simply take some work to see who might be able to communicate with one another since we all have a different method.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Telepathy with people who aren't trained can be very dangerous. Presumably your system of arrays is used by trained people? Or has safeguards built in?

[lucklessgege]

We have passwords to ensure that not just anyone can contact us at any time. We only give those to people we trust. As for the array that was used overall it was like a big room that you could step into and there was almost always a group of people in it talking.

[They were often quite noisy...and they never seemed to enjoy it when he would pop in. Of course he wasn't widely liked by other gods...]

I'm only suggesting it be used by people who know how to handle it.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Unfortunately we don't know how many people are trained or untrained. It's not a bad idea, but even with a password, we might be able to find something safer for everyone.

[lucklessgege]

I certainly don't want anyone to experience any difficulties from doing so. That was why I had hoped to focus on those that already had such a skill. My partner and I are on different teams and we know each others password. So it would make it easy to communicate between blue and purple. If the other teams also had similar connections it could make things easier.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

I'd be interested in seeing the arrays, if that's possible.

[lucklessgege]

Our personal arrays don't really have anything to see. It's just in our minds. So it is more...feeling and hearing it.

As for the heavenly array...we can't access that in this place but perhaps someone with stronger spiritual power could create something similar for meeting as groups.

[It's not like the video can be made private, it can be heard throughout the ICP. So Hua Cheng heard him when he's cleaning the kitchens and bathrooms since it's team blue chore. When he's done and finished with his chores, he meets up with him]

Gege, did you learn anything new from the others?

[lucklessgege]

[He smiles at him as he approaches.]

There are others with spiritual communication type abilities on the train. They just don't all work the same way that ours does. I know we can communicate like that but it might be good to have a team that is able to do so in case things happen.

[crimson_rain]

There's a lot of people from different worlds on the train with different powers and abilities, so of course.

That's sound good. Are you training them?

[lucklessgege]

A-ah..I wouldn't say I am training them. We are simply comparing our abilities to see if they might be compatible.

[crimson_rain]

There's a lot of youngsters on the train. I find that most of them are eager to learn new things. Gege would have make a good teacher. [He smiles]

I'm going to make lunch, so if gege is hungry, I'll make us lunch.

[lucklessgege]

I was a teacher once a long time ago. I'm not sure I would consider myself a very good one.

[At least that didn't end up very good...but that didn't really have anything to do with his teaching.]

I don't mind continuing this over food.

[crimson_rain]

[Flirting with him] I know~. I learned a lot from you by being close to you. Besides being your most devoted follower, I always dreamed of being your disciple~

Okay, I can make lunch in the kitchen. What would gege like to eat? I can make fried rice, noodles, or even sandwiches. Whatever you desire.

[lucklessgege]

I'm not picky San Lang. Whatever is available and easy is fine with me.

[He's used to small meals, when he remembers to eat at all. He certainly won't complain about anything that the man gives him.]

I don't think you need to be my disciple any longer. You are much stronger then I am.
