I suppose some other people might want to read my inane ramblings...

I've been writing some pretty epic rambledansens recently on the state of Mio's head after the events of Krovyanka to

I definitely like reading RP ramblings! Although on the subject of what Mio's struggling with right now, I suspect I'm not going to be able to give much intelligent response through the back of my head making incoherent unhappy noises. :P

Although this:

Sharing her feelings and experiences psychically is something that's almost as natural as breathing to her

is definitely relevant to Iris' interests, inasmuch as, in any world, she's always quite happy to do that for people, to sit and commune with them psychically in order to better understand. Even if it's painful for her.

Public character exploration hooray

Jack will probably need to do more poking at Mio to determine exact things. Specifically, if her need to inflict trauma is "mechanical" or psychological - that is, if it's required by/an immutable fact of the way her psychic powers work, or if it's the only option available to her because it's the only option she can grasp/grok/execute, psychologically. If it's mechanical, then really, the only way he can see to move forward is to get a mind architect in there to change the structure or to provide a sink for the outlash. Of those two, not gonna lie, he'd prefer the first option, both because it's more pleasant for him and because it's less vulnerable to failure based on unforeseen events, like him getting eaten by the Kashtta or greenrifted or something

I think these two are... coming from almost exact opposite points, re: psychic sharing. Because while it's more comfortable for Mio, it's painful, triggering, and often nauseating for Jack. His history with psychics has been almost unmitigatedly bad: having a mind architect go into his head without his consent to take away seven years of his memory, amputating his ability to remember his own family, leaving two years a gaping hole, and rewriting select parts of his identity; soaking up an almost lethal dose of negative affect from the Master's affect machine; having the threat of Suzie using his own subconscious against him, and then the threat of his own subconscious poisoning him, and then Elashte's error resulting in Thane coming out; having the Vesmier try to repurpose his own mind (even though he failed), having the Doctor trying to rip his mind apart, and then having the delta wave forcibly enjamb the disparate operative consciousnesses, which led to him going full-out insane because he had two opposite identities and sets of
