[It's been almost a month since her arrival. Nike has sensed the changes within the world and heard the voices from the natives. All of it felt oddly welcoming, a little sweet, maybe unsettling by the sudden waves of energy coming from the moons-filled nights, and maybe a little fear and some anxiety in-between especially after the events of the amphitheater. Which was happily taken care of. But now it was her turn to experience the next phase of the moon which was just around the corner...]
...um, I hope I'm doing this right. First time using such a....impersonal item. Something about using this to talk to a lot of people. Like using a microphone...? Just without the singing?
[That was the best way for her medieval mind to go around it. Just ignore the fact her country was far too advanced in a world that shouldn't be. A detail she has learned the reason of, but wasn't important right now.]
Um, right, so...I'm Nike. I arrived a while ago. And I was wondering: is there somewhere I can go when my phase of the moon pops up? Like a safe place I can hide away in...? I'm sorta alone. I don't have many people I trust here and those I do...I may have messed things up...
[By aggressively attacking their ears, going overboard with flattering, and just simply being more clingy than usual. Even she is embarrassed by it but he happened to look insanely gorgeous that day, more than usual....not that it was an excuse but...]
Anyway, is there anyone with powers similar to mine? Like sensing their surroundings and knowing what a large group of people feel? Or are able to hear the planet's voice or influence? I've been...having some trouble. I don't know how to explain it.... [More like she's been feeling very uncomfortable with herself, getting easily irritable, feeling more self-conscious than usual, and yet staring at herself more than she would like. Not to mention the cold chills traveling her spine and arms.]
Is it normal for your body to feel so cold while feeling pretty warm? Or just agitated in general? I don't know what to do...or expect. Any advice would be very appreciated.
[How should she end this? Um.....she's turning this off like now because what is talking to herself? This is weird. She doesn't like this.]
(ooc: Here is an opt-out post for anyone who wants to use it along with learning more details about Nike's powers with a permission form as well. I would appreciate it if everyone tagging this could take a look at it. Thanks!)

[Her voice is calm, as is her expression though she regards Nike with curiosity.]
I can sort of do things like that. It's a bit more complicated than that, but I can sense things and feel peoples' emotions and the like. Are your abilities starting to act up?
[Hers' tended to do that too, so she sympathizes. And when the mitori ability really got going, she tended to become even more sensitive to sights and sounds; it was headache inducing at best.]
video
Well, after she takes a few deep breaths first.
Can't be looking too frazzled.
Especially when she has found someone else like her.]
Yes. I'm...having a tough time concentrating. It feels like this world is trying to suck me in....who knows where. This place is starting to feel unbearable.
[Her head was beginning to feel very heavy with the amount of information she was gaining from her surroundings. She knew the moons have something to do with it because ever since it popped her senses feel like they've gone haywire. Lights were getting brighter, the darkness was getting even darker, the sounds felt closer, and the temperature has been changing in waves.]
...does it get better after its over? [The moonphases she means.]
video
The iris moon is coming up. That might be the reason, if that's your moon. You'll feel more connected to it. Are you new? Often in the first month people don't really experience anything, but it'll hit the second or third month in.
It lasts only a couple days, but there's a time in the middle of the month when all the moons are out when it can get even stronger.
But it's...a relief, sometimes, when it's over. Often I don't suffer much during my moon phase, and it comes and goes. It's unfortunately different for everyone. But my sense do get... It's a little... Overwhelming. Like everything is just 'too much.'
Too sharp, too bright, too loud... Moonlacing helps alleviate a lot of the symptoms.

Does it get that bad? Cause you're starting to sound like I should do a blockade or something.

It depends on the moon cycle. The effects tend to vary so you may experience few to no changes at all or quite a few. Some may be physical, others behavioral.
You know yourself best so you'll have to decide what you're comfortable with.

[The voice replying is robotic-like in quality, if the face wasn't convincing enough that this person isn't human. Though it is laced with concern as this is almost a familiar situation.]
Are you alright? Are the moons affecting your powers? [His own sometimes goes haywire, especially when the moon cycle begins, he's become far more sensitive to sounds.]
video
Nike has never met a robot or talking machine before or would notice it is how a talking machine would sound like. There is a lot of ????? while all at once she is left feeling curious about them too.]
Thoughts are something I have no control over. Feelings, emotions, and hearts are more of my expertise. [Although her mantra will always be "a human heart can never be calculated".] What does it feel like to hear other people's thoughts? Especially in a big city like this one?
[As for their next questions, Nike will lower her head as she stares at her own dress noticing it was longer and wasn't as ethereal white in color. Not to mention the way her surroundings feel...as though it was trying to twist into her or suck her in somewhere. She was afraid to be anywhere dark. If she had more people to trust, then she wouldn't be sleeping alone. The waves were driving her a little crazy. She was becoming more hyperaware which was weighing her mind down. Not to mention the sudden change of temperature, almost as if she was suffering a fever while not having one. There was a lot of concern especially now she can feel her turn was coming.]
Yeah. Ever since the first moon phase, I've been noticing everything feels different. It's been worrying me. I thought they were my own moon phases, at first, but after talking about it....it doesn't seem to be the case. The world just changes. I've been noticing it, but now I feel....anxious all of a sudden. Like something scary is coming up. The chill. It's beginning to feel a lot colder now. [A pause.] I'm scared about what's to come....
no subject
While he can see her curiosity, his appearance isn't the utmost importance right now.]
I can hear those, too, feelings, emotions, hearts... however, I have no control over them. [He can manipulate them somewhat via electronic wave, but it's not an ability he likes to use on anybody.] A headache. I can't turn my powers off fully, so I hear their thoughts and emotions all the time. The pain tends to vary during the moon cycles... my moon cycle, which is the next cycle, brings the worst, but it can get especially terrible than a headache when emotions or tensions are high in the air. The best I could do to limit what I hear is to focus.
[And if he's not careful, not taking himself out of the crowd, or find a place to be momentarily alone, he might experience a sensory overload, which this person might be suffering through. While her situation isn't exactly similar, her sense of the world is different, almost similar to a Prime with how they can hear the world speak to them and all. Still, there are some overlaps with his own sensitive sensors.]
First off, take a deep breath- [That's what humans do, right?] -and try to calm yourself... Your surrounding is overwhelming you and making you anxious about your coming cycle... It can be scary not knowing what to expect, but there is nothing to fear about change, so long as your prepared for it. I have thus far kept Iris under control and the worst impulses away...

And then she'll just have to figure out how to explain the whole alternate timelines thing if this Nike wasn't from Duplicity.]
Yeah, you're doing it right if you just want do a voice message, Nike. As for a place to stay, well... is there any reason why your apartment here won't work?
video;
Well...
[How to answer her next question?]
I don't know what to expect. And I'm alone. So... [How to explain she was now afraid of the dark or being alone during these moon phases?] I guess I'm not used to being on my own. I always had someone with me one way or another. And I made a mess of things with the only person I do trust. [Which she feels very bad about.] ....it wasn't even during my own cycle when it happened. Who knows how I'll be when it is my turn? [Which begins now...or tomorrow....?]
video
Coupled with the fact that her moonblessing hadn't kicked in, it was pretty obvious which one Nike was going to have... which honestly baffled Videl a little on why Nike wanted to be near anyone, even with everything she said.]
Okay. I... before I make any suggestions about what you can do about it, you do know what the potential Iris moonblessing effects are already, right?

[ But then she shows where her true interests lie, as her lips soon curl into a smile. ]
Where I'm from it's called "ki", the energy of every living and non-living thing, it might not be exactly what you're dealing with but it's pretty similar. You may be suffering from an imbalance caused by either draining yourself of too much of one energy or becoming overwhelmed by another.
[ She taps a finger to her chin, expression shifting into one that's more serious. ]
If you're not too careful you could die.

boy-crazysisters. One of them or both must have given her similar advice at some point. Hopefully. Or maybe she was confusing those memories with the ones where she used to overhear their antics.Just the thought was leaving her nostalgic.]
vido 4/5
.....
Let's concentrate on the new explanation for "ki" because it sounds very similar indeed. Very interesting topic. She was not wrong.]
"Ki" sounds interesting. My power is based on sensing the world's thoughts and feelings so I can grant its wishes. It allows me to sense the emotions of the group of people in a specific area. I was only allowed to sense a the areas I recognized. The only way to gain access to other areas was by learning about the area's culture, scenery, and people. Without those things, I cannot create its song. That was until I was given the role of the world guardian. [Another pause.] Even before gaining this title, this power of mine -- to sense -- has always been "on" for all of us in my family ever since we're born. We can't turn it off unless the world does, we get gravely injured or sick, or we have a certain rock to cut our connection... [Which she doubts exists.
As for the final part, about dying, Nike will shrug her shoulders a bit.]
That part doesn't scare me. In a way I already have. [If anything.] The only thing I fear is losing control. I don't want to hurt anyone even under the guise of this moon blessing business.
video
I don't think I'm allowed to live a little, not when I am no longer human.
[The saying was such a human concept. As much as she wants to be more like her older sisters, Nike doubts she's allowed to. Not after leaving behind so many treasured people and breaking so many hearts in the process.]

Reminding her of Sagiri, somewhat, she has to pretend as if she isn't thinking of a friend for a split second before she responds. If she does she may just make this too personal -- ]

[His voice was gentle and soft, but firm even as he spoke slowly for her. A bit of stability for her to cling to if she needs it.]
Nike, was it? I'm called Bishop. Getting right to your questions, I'll have to know what your moon phase is because depending on what it is, my advice with change.
voice;
She'll be doing it a few more times. Just a couple. Enough until her senses can calm down to focus on the other boy's voice.]
That's right.
[He got her name right.]
Bishop? It's nice to meet you.
[What an interesting name! It sounds more like a title than a name, but she is sure it may be the way his world is.]
It's the last one. The one that has a flower's name, I do believe.
[Iris, maybe. She still hasn't experienced it yet. So any advice would be appreciated. She already knows Allen's cycle changes his form and increases his charm. The first one is filled with passionate emotions. Iris, however, was a mystery.]

I can't claim to understand what you're going through, but if you'd like the place I'm staying is currently very quiet. And I'm familiar with a kind of tea that could at least help in soothing your nerves.
voice;
What would you recommend for me to bring to pair with the tea?
[Can't exactly go empty-handed to his apartment. Even if he did invite. It'd be rude to not bring something!]

[ Well, well, well, doesn't that sound interesting? ]
I have abilities similar to yours. I can sense my surroundings and the emotions of others. I can even project my emotions... but for those that don't have any protection, it can cause some rather unfortunate side-effects. [ Like mutilation or death. :) ]
Still, it sounds like you're having quite a time... will you survive? [ His voice is light and filled with a joking tone. Like this isn't serious. ]
voice;
Can you sense everyone or pinpoint individual emotions?
[The way he describes being able to project his own emotions with unfortunate side-effects -- she has a feeling he doesn't use his powers entirely for good. Hard to tell. Not when he sounds friendly...]
Well, it wouldn't be the first time I'm having a hard time! [To answer his own question.] But it wouldn't be the first time I'll fail at it either. I mean, no one is perfect, right?
