I guess Mina has a point, it would be kind of bad if I pushed myself to the point of exhaustion while trying to mess around with my Branch. Not to mention that it would be a shame if we spent this entire visit talking about creepy superpower stuff.

Yeah, there's other stuff that we can talk about too.

"Hey Mina?" I call out.
"Hm?" Mina says, idly spinning a keychain flashlight around her finger.
"It's been bugging me for a while now, and I'd like to hear your side of the story."
"What story?"
"The story of why you and Theresa had that falling out."

And then the keychain slips off of Mina's finger and flies across the room. I guess she really wasn't expecting me to ask about that.

"Wh... why are you asking about HER all of a sudden?" Mina asks, suddenly in a really foul mood.

>>tell her that I was over Theresa's house yesterday and I asked her the same thing

Honesty, best policy.

Does anyone else want to call up Irene and ask what she thinks about Gauthier? Maybe tell her we know what our power is and it doesn't seem dangerous and no, she may not know what it is.

>>32832160
>tell her that I was over Theresa's house yesterday and I asked her the same thing
There's really no point hiding it.

>>32832160
>tell her that I was over Theresa's house yesterday and I asked her the same thing
maybe add that theresa still feels like shit about that

>>32832253
Uh, have you seen the way Mina reacts to the mention of Theresa? There's definitely a point.

>>32832264
I meant more like when (not if) she finds out we were hiding the truth, the consequences would be much worse.

>>32832160
>tell her that I'm just tired of avoiding the subject

>>32832279
"I knew you would react like this" solves that.

I know we have great reasons to lie to Charlotte and Irene about the books, but if there's anything that could have worse consequences, it's that.

>>32832160
>tell her that I'm just tired of avoiding the subject

I am sick and tired of your bullshit Mina.

>>32832160
>tell her that I'm just tired of avoiding the subject
Saying that we were at Theresa's is bound to set her off.

>writing

Uuuuuuuuuuuuh I just realized that it's possible that emotional state might affect her power as the seed gets planted. Making her angry could give her a SHIT RUN power.

On the other hand, Arch probably has all the potential powers decided already. Please be that.

Rolled 44

>>32832488
or maybe he just rolls them and builds on that
mhmm...

>>32832488
For all the shit we're going through and what she researched, she's probably too scared to get planted. She managed to be within 20 ft. of a very expensive (and powerful) book she got from the internet for an entire night and successfully refrained from reading it. She's better off joining the Green Lantern Corps. than getting planted with a seed.

>>32832478
time to shed some LIGHT on the subject.

Wait a minute, shouldn't we give Theresa and Mina Irene's number? There's still the chance that shit could go down with their powers, and I'm pretty sure her invitation to call her if things get out of control (and there's almost no way one of them isn't going to get a shit roll on their power to force us into making Hard Decisions) applies to them too.

>>32832704
The problem is we don't know if she's one of the bad guys yet.

>>32832721
You're right. We don't. We DO know that hearing voices or burning down your house or whatever are bad news.

I'm saying Irene might need to put down our friends like rabid dogs and we might need to sit back and let her.

"I'm just tired of avoiding the subject," I say. "Things between you two have been weird for what, a year now?'
"Yeah," Mina mumbles, "but it's not like it's my-"
"I don't care," I say, rolling my eyes. "We're in this together now and I'm sick of having to tiptoe around it."

Crossing my arms, I stare Mina down.

"Wilhelmina. Spill it."
"Ugh..." Mina walks over to her bed and sits down. "It was personal stuff, okay? Why does it even matter, it doesn't involve you..."
"Yeah, it kind of does," I reply. "My two best friends got in a huge fight and as a result, one of them ended up avoiding ME for a year. Now quit stalling."
"Aaaaaaagh..." Mina flops over on her bed. "You want to know what happened? Fine."

Still lying on her bed, Mina takes a deep breath and closes her eyes.

"It was after Theresa joined the track team... you remember how she pretty much ditched us, right? Going to the movies, hanging out at your house... she quit doing all that stuff with us in favor of them."
"Yeah, I remember that," I reply.
"Well I waited for her after practice one day and asked her straight-out why she was acting like that. I mean, it's not like I wanted to monopolize all of her attention or anything..." she says, resting her forearm over her eyes. "So I asked her to come clean, you know?"

This pretty much matches up with what Theresa told me yesterday.

"So I said all of this, and reminded her that we had tickets to a concert later that week... and she FLIPPED OUT on me," Mina says. "Said a bunch of hurtful shit and I just couldn't take it, so yeah, I'm done with her."

Hey Arch?
You mentioned that your sister helped you name this quest so I assume she knows about this and PGQ.

Does she read them?
Who does she think is best girl?

If I'm wrong and she doesn't, who do you think would be her favourite character?

>>32833118

"I could tell when I talked to her after that whole fainting thing yesterday that she really regrets what happened," I say. "A ton."
"If she regrets it so much, she could have said something directly to ME at any time over the past year instead of going through you," Mina replies, wiping her eyes off before sitting back upright.
"C'mon, Mina..."
"Nope, she's already had her chance with me and she blew it," Mina shakes her head. "I'm done with her."

Someone actually brought up a good point last thread

Becoming cyclops is the simple application of our powers. Just taking light and moving it somewhere.

But light manipulation. There's a lot of crazy things you can do with that.

At the very end of last thread someone suggested bending light around us, making active camo like Grey Fox.

If we get good enough with changing light, we could start manipulating quantum states. Crazy things await once we reach that point. Things like becoming one with light itself.

Pic unrelated, it just puts a smile on my face.

>>32834119
yes, beautiful friendship that gets us stuck in a groundhog day style time loop for years or even decades as we watch our friends either turn into lovecraftian monsters or get horribly murdered

So can we make beer using our light manipulation?

>>32834163
>we could start manipulating quantum states.

>>32834156
>>Delicious alcohol
but we're under age

>>32834094
Here's the great thing: If we can master one, the other is merely the same thing only much more powerful. Which means the difference between doing one and the other is just more training.

If we could find a way to absorb more light, via mirrors or something, we could throw around beams like it's nothing.

i was in favor of the free electron laser flashlight since it doesn't require us making light, just manipulating the existing light. if we're going big it would probably be best to do something like that space magnifying glass from that die another day bond movie rather than starlight breaker

>>32834163
Are our powers specific to visible light, or does it apply to all Electromagnetic waves?

This guilt is weighing down on me like crazy...

"I just..." I walk over and sit next to her on the bed. "...I just wish that the two of you could at least get along again, you know? Especially with all this Branch business and strange people looking for the books that you both bought."
"Dammit, Cecile," Mina shakes her arms in frustration. "I'll try to at least be -civil- with her, okay?"
"That's a start."

And then I pull her into a tight hug since I know talking about this kind of stuff must really hurt.

"Stupid jerk..." Mina mumbles.

My hug acts like a trigger for her to let out all the stress and frustration from holding it in for a year put on her, and she spends the next ten minutes or so sobbing.

I can't remember the last time I've seen her like this.

After she stops crying, Mina lets go of me and rushes off to the bathroom to freshen up. The idea of snooping while she's out does come to mind, but now really isn't the time.

"Alright, I'm back," Mina says as she walks back through the door. "No more drama bull."
"Fine with me," I reply.
"And uh..."
"What?"
"...you're not gonna start hitting on me now, are you? 'Cus that'd just be all kinds of uncomfortable."
"Wha!?" I shout. "Wh- why are you jumping to THAT conclusion!?"

Seriously, what the hell!? Is this payback for making her cry or something?

The limiting factor for light is wattage, not space taken. So far as I know (they are Baryons), light does not have a maximum density, though it'll ionise the air and attenuate rapidly above 1 Terawatt per cm^2 of cross-section.

>>32834465
Nope, we shouldn't be looking at it in terms of cubes.

Light is really fast, as we all know, it's better to think of it as a flow of power from the sun. And the amount of energy impacting the 10 square meter plane per second is going to be approximately the same as the amount that flows through a cube with faces of 10 square meters.

We might be able to draw incoming light into a tight loop, build it up for a couple seconds, and then laser the fuck out of something.

Just accept it CC. You are an lesbians. The plot has ordained it to be so.

>>32834661
I think this is going to be how most of our powers are. Grabbing huge swaths of light and concentrating it.

..but with a little creativity we could be an absolute terror to fight. Making patches of complete darkness at will. Igniting portions of air to deny oxygen. All while invisible.

>>32834526

Oxygen isn't important when the air is too hot to breath. And that's not how air works, it doesn't just burn.

I would assume that would be limited by sunlight.

Actually I wonder how powerful moonlight would be. It's not as much as sunlight, but it's still nothing to scoff at.

>>32834627
So, you're suggesting focusing light into a narrow beam AND storing it in a loop?

That seems valid and powerful!

>>32834804
I'm not arguing that, I'm just saying that air doesn't "burn". Or normal air, at least.

>>32834790
Holy crap, we are dangerous.

Brightness of sun: -26.7 magnitude.

So. If you need 2 square meters of earth's surface to make a Sun-laser, you'll need 800,000 square meters of earth's surface to make a Moon-laser.

Sunlight is powerful enough to bounce off FUCKING SATURN and still be visible.
Moonlight, having already bounced once, is a shit.

Making light is more draining than manipulating. Manipulating is not free and we will run up against that limit when we push ourselves.

>>32834935
Fuck.

>>32834938
That just means we need to practice until we git gud.

>>32834938
We're not even all that good at manipulating yet. But we could practice, maybe?

>>32834935
This means we can never ever be caught outside in the dark

Or, well, we just not use our powers to attack in that situation. I'm still all for active camo + knife as a last resort.

>>32834989
Knives are effective weapons.
You can get a flippy knife if you want to always carry one around with you.

Yes I know it's called a Balisong. But calling it a flippy knife irritates the dirty hurricane people.

I was counting light we made ourself as a separate thing.

And of course our skill and stamina is also a factor but less of a hard limit.

>>32834989
Wouldn't active camo be pretty draining to use? I think flashbang + weapon would be more practical for now.

"Th... that wasn't a date!" I stammer.
"But you said that it -was- a date," Mina replies.
"W... well, it was a date but it wasn't an, umm... DATE date! Just business, you know? She wanted to thank me for helping her cat."
"I -bet- she wanted you to help her cat..."
"EW, Mina!" I pick up a pillow and chuck it at her.

That's the kind of thing I'd expect to hear from Alison, not you!

"Hell, I didn't realize that it even was a date until Allison pointed it out..." I mumble.
"And that's when you realized your true feelings for a girl who's obviously been planted to lure you and the rest of us out so we can get captured and experimented by the government," mina says.
"Shut uuuuuuuuup."

We're not sure about the upper limits of our light manipulation yet.

Live inside of a reflection? I don't think we can do that.

>>32835032
Uh, I think that falls well outside the purview of "light manipulation" and into the realm of "fucking crazy holy shit fuck physics magic".

Lets stick with things we know science can do, like lasers and opticamo and making ourselves fabulous on command, before we start trying to convert our body into light and live inside reflective surfaces.

>>32835046
>Light Manifestation: Hanged Man is actually a stand that attacks via reflections. Rather than attacking a person directly, it will appear in a reflective surface and attack their reflection. The person will then bear the results of the attack, seemingly from an invisible assailant. Hanged Man can move through any type of reflecting surface, including human eyes, at the speed of light. Its weakness is that it can only move between reflective surfaces in a linear pattern and is forced to move to the one in front of it if its current location is covered, leaving it vulnerable.

Wait does this mean we can make a lightsaber?

We should invite Irene on a dinner date and pump her for information.

There's no reason to believe she told us the actual extent of her power.

Powers should be like assholes, we should assume everyone has one and that they're not willing to tell us everything about them.

>>32835086
Arch's power level ... it's increasing rapidly!

>>32835121
Except there is. See that pastebin at the top? It confirms everything she said. And arch specifically said she never lied, only withheld information.

Pastebins don't lie.

And that's almost as good.

>There's no reason to believe she told us the actual extent of her power.

>Powers should be like assholes, we should assume everyone has one and that they're not willing to tell us everything about them

Who knows if it can do anything else? She didn't lie, she just didn't tell us that she could also do X and Y.

>>32835155
Yes, but her pisspoor detection range is what's relevant here. How is she possibly useful for searching for the books? The logical way to find them is to notice a Sprout and follow them back to the book, and she's terrible at that.

The only reasonable explanation is that she has backup. Or her faction is stretched so thin that she's all they can spare and they're hoping she can put out fires.

>>32835155
>>32835133
In fact, looking at the pastebin again, it even has a slot below it that says "other abilities: unknown". For all we know she can encase herself in dragon scales or something.

>>32835133
>Other effects: Unknown
for all we know she can unhinge her jaw like a snake and swallow cars whole like that one guy on one piece or anyone on /d/

That we know of.

Also it's possible that she may not be, she may be merely expecting to fight whoever finds the books and just take them. It may be a pattern that when people gain powers, they immediately go out and test them and give themselves away.

"B- besides," I say, "even if I -did- swing that way, I'm not gonna suddenly start hitting on you two and run the risk of screwing up our friendship."
"Yeah, that's definitely a lesson to learn," Mina sighs.

"Cool, sounds like fun," I say. "Where are we going?"
"To the kitchen," Mina replies.
"...huh?"
"I spent all my money on the scary-as-hell book that gave -you- magic light powers, did you really think that I have the cash to spare on a restaurant?"

Great, now I feel stupid.

"C'mon, there should be enough food left in the fridge for you," Mina says.
"Alright," I reply.

And so, we make our way downstairs, walking past the sounds of gunfire coming from whatever game that Marcus and Andy are playing before finally reaching the kitchen.

"...crap," Mina says, looking in the fridge.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"Apparently my stupid gorilla brother ate up everything that was left," she grumbles. "Look for yourself."

Mina steps aside so that I can get a better look, and yeah her fridge is pretty much devoid of anything that I'd consider worth eating. But maybe...

"What's that?" I say, pointing to two objects wrapped in paper which are suspiciously in the shape of sandwiches.
"I dunno," Mina replies. "Andy probably brought them with him."

It was a silly choice to be divided on anyways.

Andy's always been pretty nice about stuff like that, but I wouldn't really feel comfortable with eating up the food that he brought. And I still have a bit of my weekly allowance left... plus it's Saturday so I'll be getting next week's in a day anyways.

"You wanna go to a fast food place and eat?" I ask. "I'm paying."
"Huh?" Mina turns to me. "Fast food? You're gonna get fat if you keep this up, you know... you go to McDonald's or whatever like pretty much every day."
"So you -don't- want free food?"
"...thank you for offering to feed me," she sighs.
"That's what I thought."

As we make our way to the front door, Mina stops by the family room.

"Hey Marcus!" Mina shouts over the annoying loudness of the TV.
"Mm?" Marcus is too engrossed in his shooting to even form actual words in response.
"MARCUS! PAUSE YOUR STUPID GAME ALREADY!"
"Alright, dammit!" he shouts back as he pauses in the middle of what I'm assuming is Andy's character getting shot in the head. "What's so important that you had to ta-"

And then he freezes in place.

"...CC's here to talk about 'girl stuff' and you're calling me out in the middle of a game... you're not pregnant or anything, are you?"
"What!?" Mina grimaces. "Hell no I'm not pregnant!"
"Th- then are you, CC?" he points to me.
"No I am not pregnant," I say, rolling my eyes.
"Oh thank God," he breathes a sigh of relief.

Why does he always have to be so overdramatic?

"So what -did- you want?" Marcus asks.
"I just wanted to tell you that we're going out to get something to eat," Mina replies. "So you don't go to check on me and freak out about us getting kidnapped or something."

I don't think he's THAT paranoid, Mina.

>[2/?]

>>32835989

Does Marcus know about Theresa? It'd be a shame he misunderstood things and started spreading rumors about us.


Also Archelon you know that with that backstory Theresa route and Mina route are out of the question? People will just want them to get them back together because /tg/ is romantic like that.

>>32836064
Maybe that was just a clever plan by arch to avoid waifu wars. Just give all the potential waifus a backstory that makes /tg/ not view them as a romantic interest.

Random crap:
When Cecile was first learning how to talk, she didn't know how to say her own name right and would say "CC" instead of "Cecile." This ended up catching on as her nickname through most of her early childhood.
Marcus still calls her that because she will always be his annoying baby sister's adorable baby friend in his eyes.

"I brought some sandwiches from work if you want them," Andy chimes in. "They're like... gourmet stuff or something, they're supposed to be really good!"
"Nah, that's fine," I reply. "I wouldn't feel right eating up your food like that."
"Your loss," he shrugs.
"And now you know where we'll be," Mina says. "Byeee!"

With Mina waving goodbye to Marcus as obnoxiously as she possibly can all the while, we make our way to the front door and out of the house.

"So where to?" Mina asks, turning to me as walk down the sidewalk.
"McDonald's," I reply. "The one by the park's the closest place nearby."
"You're the one paying," she shrugs.

And so, we start on our trek to the Land of the Golden Arches. The quickest path there cuts through the park, so that's what we do...

"Kh-" Suddenly, I'm stopped in my tracks by a familiar headache.
"Cecile? What's wrong?" Mina asks.
"Synapse," I reply.
"Syn-" she gasps. "So you mean that another of those weirdoes is somewhere nearby?"
"I guess so."

These things need to be happen in porper order. First, we have to be recruited to an academy for the gifted young.

"Aw crap, what do we do?" Mina grabs onto my hand and holds it tight.
"You go over there and hide," I say, pointing to some nearby bushes. "I'll go and see who it is."
"What!?" she squeezes my hand even tighter. "No, I can't just run away by myself! What if it's a government agent come to snatch you up?"
"They already know that -I'm- here," I say. That's how Synapse works... I think. But you're a normal person so they shouldn't have any clue that you're here with me."
"But-"
"Go!" I whisper-shout, shaking free of her grip on my hand and pushing her towards the bushes.

I really hope that it's Charlotte who I just sensed... or Irene. Or Theresa. It doesn't really matter, as long as it's one of those three.

Walking a little ways away from where I told Mina to hide, I try my best to stay calm and try not to act too visibly paranoid. Just be cool, Cecile. Whoever I just sensed will show themselves soon and then I can tell Mina to come on out of her hideyhole and everything'll be

just

fine

"Don't move," an unfamiliar voice calls out from a little ways behind me. It's... a guy?

"Wh... who are you?" I ask, my voice wavering because I'm doing my best to hide how horrified I am right now.
"That's what -I- want to know," the man replies. "It was you, wasn't it? The one who has the book."
"Wh... what book?" I ask, hoping that he'll leave me alone if I pretend not to know what he's talking about.
"The Book of the Gardener," he replies. "The book that plants the Seed of the Tree of Knowledge, the one that caused you to trigger a Synapse. Now quit playing dumb!"
"I don't even know-"
"I -said-, quit playing dumb."

The triangles float closer to my neck and several more pop up out of nowhere... and then a guy with glasses walks into view.

"My Branch is called 'Ornamental Tangram,'" he says. "It makes these wonderfully sharp implements that are currently hovering around your neck. I'm only telling you this so that you know that there's no point in trying to run. Now answer my questions truthfully or I'll end your life right here and now."

Sharp... they look so freaking sharp. They're all around my neck, and now there are a couple pointed at my heart too...

"What's your name, what's your branch, where's the book, and did you let anyone else read it. Now hurry up and answer," the man says.
