[ When Charles' voice comes over the network it's shaken, only momentarily; then solemn, and hardly as prepared for what he's about to say as he'd like. He clears his throat and makes a soft sound like a hum before he's speaking. His confidence is regained and his voice has its appropriate, upright standing it requires for his words.In the

voice!

[xuffasch]

You think people would volunteer to have you go through their heads?

voice;

[grooviestmutant]

Many have.

I have a remarkable talent for healing. I'm not going to deny that. [ he also has no reason to be proper when dem childrens is getting snooty ]

voice;

[xuffasch]

And how, exactly, does rummaging around in someone's head denote "healing"?

voice;

[grooviestmutant]

It is much more complicated than that, I assure you.

voice;

[xuffasch]

It seems rather straightforward to me.

voice;

[grooviestmutant]

It is a process that my mutation is capable of. Describing it would not assist you, I'm certain.

voice;

[xuffasch]

Now you're just being patronizing and creepy.

voice;

[grooviestmutant]

Ah. I hardly mean to do either of those things.

I only mean to say that the process is not tangible, and thus would only be confusing to describe.

voice;

[xuffasch]

I think I'd follow.

voice;

[grooviestmutant]

You know that I must first inquire as to why you are so fascinated with the process?

voice;

[xuffasch]

Because knowing the mind is useful. And knowing how others do it, even if I can't do it myself, would be at least partially so.

voice;

[grooviestmutant]

Mm. I suppose it would be redundant to say that it is hard to describe; though I have warned you, so don't make fun.

When one's mind is manipulated, or otherwise changed, so as to cause insanity -- dementia, fits of hallucinations, or, ah -- insomnia, even. [ He pauses, trying to articulate. ]

I can find the link. The strings, I suppose, between one portion of the mind to the other. Oftentimes, though not always, the problem is a result of manipulation of those connections. I can force the mind to re-learn that connection -- to untangle it, or heal it, as it were.

It can be a short process or a long one, dependent upon the source of the affectation.

voice;

[xuffasch]

So if you can fix people's minds, does that mean there is an innately correct state for them to be?

voice;

[grooviestmutant]

From what I have experienced--yes. Though it is different for everyone, and not all individuals can be 'fixed', as it were.

voice;

[xuffasch]

Well if something can be broken there must be a way to fix it.

voice;

[grooviestmutant]

That is how I attempt to view it. There's still quite a bit of work I ought to do before I will know for sure, but I am practising. Studying. Growing, as it were.
