Questions can be sent to me via private message or at [plurk.com profile] tricia868.

If it would ever be useful to have an intervention by Tris, you're also welcome to contact me and let me know what she could have seen/heard/sensed to alert her.



Scrying the Wind
  • Tris hears voices and sees images on the wind, whatever a current of air has passed over before it reaches her. This is a passive ability; it requires active effort on her part to avoid seeing or hearing, but she will only catch brief flickers of images or a few words at a time unless she hears something that warrants closer attention. She tries to be good about actively eavesdropping on anything that isn't dangerous.

    Hearing: Can Tris overhear snippets of your character's conversations in public areas?
    Seeing: Can Tris see flashes of what your character is doing in common areas?

Magical Senses
  • Tris can see magic. All of it lights up for her, and the stronger a spell, the brighter it is. This is, like her scrying a passive ability. It happens whether she makes an effort or not, particularly with stronger spells. She sometimes strains her eyes from the brightness.

    An active ability of hers allows Tris to sense much more than magic. She can feel people's energy reserves, magical or otherwise. She can feel very general impressions of their moods. Their locations. Whether they're awake or asleep. This requires concentration and isn't used nearly as often as her other abilities.

    Magic: Does your character (or any of their commonly used possessions) have magic? Can Tris see it? What is she likely to see?
    Sensing: Can Tris sense your character's status when they are in public areas?

    Now this is a story all about how
    My life got flipped-turned upside down
    And I'd like to take a minute
    Just sit there still
    I'll tell you how I made a deal with the creature called Bill

    In the middle of a flood, the ship it was crazed
    I couldn’t recall a single one of my days
    The Admiral’s pranks, they can sometimes be cruel
    ‘Cause without my memories I was really a fool.
    When all of a sudden, my magic unchecked
    Started shooting lightning over the deck
    Bill offered his help and I was so scared
    He said I’ll owe him a favor, and that’s only fair.

    I thought it ended with the flood, nothing owed
    But he managed to possess my friend Horatio
    Bill sent me a message, then began with his threats
    “I’ll make you murder someone if you don’t pay your debts.”

    Since then, I’m never alone
    Till Alan went and sent this green monkey home
    He’ll turn into a ward if I ever need help
    Wait, I’m ahead of myself.

    And then I found out he had a deal with my inmate
    Was I supposed to leave Erskine to his fate?
    I don't think so
    He says that Bill stabbed him
    I hope Bill’s prepared ’cause his fate’s looking grim

    Well, I was working at a library shelf
    There was a book with Bill’s mark, he’s so full of himself
    I was trying to rub it out
    When he got there
    I flinched then fixed him hard with a stare

    I called up my magic and enhanced my sight
    Magnified the details - he glowed silver and bright
    I started to understand like I knew that I must
    But I saw too much and
    Dissolved into dust

    I woke up in an infirmary bed
    And I said to Jesse, "You know, I musta been dead."
    I recorded a message
    Despite feeling quite ill
    To warn the whole ship ‘bout that creature called Bill
