Forced Telepathic Bond Meme: I'm With Stupid

[enabling]

Telepathy. The ability to hear the thoughts of others and pry into other minds. Suddenly, you have it. Or maybe you always had it. And now you're connected, for better or worse, to another person, for who knows how long. You can feel their thoughts and, more alarmingly, they can hear yours. You share dreams, you can feel them there constantly, you their joy and their grief. INSTRUCTIONS; 1.] Post with your character name, canon, and any preferences you may have. 2.] Try not to leave just a blank comment. Maybe write a little scenario about what your character is thinking or feeling, something their partner can pick up. 3.] Whoever tags you now shares a telepathic bond with your character. 4.] When tagging, you may roll 1-5 Extent and for How on the RNG if needed. EXTENT OF TELEPATHY; 1. Sudden Onset Limited. It's a bond limited to exclusively you and your partner. 2. Sudden Onset Unlimited. You and/or your partner can hear the thoughts of others, but it's largely uncontrollable. And you retain a special bond with your partner that you can't block off. 3.] Experienced Limited. You've had your bond for a little while now, and have some experience with controlling it. Limited between you and partner. 4.] Experienced Unlimited w/o Partner. You've had telepathy for a while, but having a bond with your partner is new and confusing. 5.] Experienced Unlimited Partners You and your partner are pretty used to this, and either you, or both of you, can use telepathy on other people. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? 1. Genetic. Baby, you were born this way. Maybe you didn't know it because it was a recessive trait and only appeared at a certain age. Maybe it's a mutation. Your partner shares this genetic trait and, by proximity, you've been bonded. 2. Government. Generic "The government is responsible!" Either you consented or you did not, but you've been partnered by an act of your government... or someone else's. 3. Experiment. You started trying to just bend spoons and... whoops! It was an experiment. Either you planned it or an enemy/evil scientist is responsible! 4. Through Strife/Friendship. You got really close, whether by sharing a hardship/trauma or just being together and getting on. 5. Really Intense Sex. Smut option. Guess it was so mind-blowing that you literally connected minds. idea from guiltapalooza meme by terrabelle

[And there's some suspicion there. Everett's eyes narrow slightly at that, but he stops himself from calling him out on it.]

Good.

[He has a right to be here. And he's getting all defensive now.]

What exactly are you working on? [He's genuinely curious.]

[Rush sighs, annoyed, but he keeps his voice more or less level.] Would you really like me to go over the details with you? Because I'm sure we could get Eli down here to make it all make sense for you.

[Hostility is likely suspicious, though. And he doesn't need that. He doesn't need anyone to check in on him, to look at what he's doing, hover over his shoulder, or any of that. Anything that requires being near him. Rush rubs at his eyes. They should be trusting each other now, he knows, but what good can come of this? Just breathe and ignore it, Nicholas, like always.]

I apologize; I admit I haven't been taking the most proper care of myself lately, and I suppose I'm getting a bit snappy without reason. Seems like a good indication to quit now and get some rest.

[If Young could trust Rush, he would. This would all be a lot easier if they could trust each other. But Rush's past works against him.

He sighs inwardly at the snide comment, not really expecting anything else. And Rush should be able to feel that. And at the apology? Genuine surprise.]

It's okay. I've not been myself lately, either. [Ever since their last journey through the gate.] I think we all need a break. Some nice planet for a few hours.
