Good Instincts; ...or are they?

Character: Dann

Missions to hand in: Mega Test (hard)

New Ability Name: Soul Perception
Effects/Description: Dann has realized that he has soul perception, that manifests in that feeling that you get when you think you aren't alone. He thought it was good instincts at first, but now, he has discovered that it's much more. He can detect souls within 10-yard radius, and can get a general sense of what kind of soul he's dealing with (witch, kishin egg, or human). However, he cannot tell which direction the souls he directs lie. That is, unless he uses soul dispersion; since it spreads his soul wavelength out, he can more easily find other souls within his 10-yard radius. Though, using soul dispersion and soul perception takes a lot of concentration; Dann cannot move or fight with both active simultaneously.

Any other changes:

None

"Are you sure about this, Dr. Stein?" Dann asked. "We've been trying this 'meditation' thing for a week now." They were sitting in an empty room somewhere in the halls of Shibusen. It was either unused or used exactly for this purpose. There wasn't much at all in the room, so no distractions were present, that's for sure.

"This is one way that could help you recover your memories," Stein said, the glare from the lights hiding his eyes behind his glasses. He was sitting in his usual stitched-up computer chair, sitting on it backward. He began to twist the bolt in his head with one hand, "if you want, there are..." he adjusted his glasses with his free hand, the light no longer hiding one half-closed eye, "...other ways." The way he said that made Dann shiver.

"Meditation it is," Dann said, sitting down, crossing his legs beneath him. He got comfortable and sat, trying to clear his mind. Meditation is a tricky thing; you can't think about clearing your mind. If you did, your mind wouldn't be clear because you'd be thinking about clearing your mind, and distracting yourself. He followed some of the tips that have helped a little bit in the past week. He focused on his breathing briefly. He caught it, and tried slowing it down. He relaxed the muscles in his arms, legs, neck... everywhere, really. Being relaxed helps to minimize distractions like discomfort or stiffness.

So, he sat, ignoring everything around him. That is, except that Stein was in the room. He had that feeling... you know the one. It's the one that you get when you know there's someone there, but you can't see them. It's the feeling you get when you're walking around in the dark, and there's someone behind the corner. It's the feeling you get when you're out at night, and you hear the smallest sound; imperceptible, yet the sensation is still there.

All of a sudden, Dann could felt like he was being watched by another person... it wasn't Stein. He could tell. How? He didn't know. It was like another instance of the feeling. He felt exposed now, vulnerable... he wanted to disappear. He would have noticed a person enter the room, wouldn't he? And unless they have some ability that makes them see through walls, they would only be able to see him through soul perception. Maybe... maybe Stein wouldn't notice if he used soul dispersion? That would certainly hide him from this third person. He didn't know where this person would be. Whether in the room next door or out in the hallway, he didn't care.

So, he let his wavelength flow out, spread through a large area, to confuse this person, wherever they were watching from. But then... he felt a type of certainty now... that there was someone behind him. Definitely behind the wall of the room he was currently in as well. He felt another presence outside the door briefly before it moved on, and with it the "instance" of the feeling was gone.


Tictictictictic-click Stein turned the bolt in his head only once, but it was enough to snap Dann out of it. His soul retreated back into his body, as he jumped up, breathing hard just in shock, "So, what has you on edge enough to activate your defensive ability?" Stein asked.

"I..." Dann said, figuring now was a good time to just tell the truth, "I felt like I was being watched... but... when I used soul dispersion, I... I don't know how to explain it, I felt like I knew where some people were... exactly where."

Stein raised an eyebrow.

"You have soul perception, right?" Dann asked, "Then tell me there's someone in the room behind that wall," he pointed to the back wall of the room that was just behind him, "Tell me there's been someone there the whole time."

"I can't say about before, but he's definitely in there now. I guess soul perception manifests in many ways and under many different circumstances..."

"There's no way," Dann argued, "I've been trying to see souls since I got here, and now... I just must have heard them in there or something."

"I doubt it. This room is soundproof," Stein said, "and further, I noticed that your hearing only gets sharper when you're transformed, as with all of your other enhanced senses."

Dann stopped talking and concentrated, like he did before. He got the feeling again, twice like before, one for Stein, one for the student in the other room. He looked up.

"It seems that you're getting a handle on it right now," Stein said, "you should probably work on that before we meditate again. I'm sure that soul perception kicking in while trying to meditate would be quite distracting. I'm sure you'll get it; most people get to a point where they can turn it on and off at will very shortly after getting the ability. We'll pick up here on Monday. Dismissed."

And with that, Stein rolled his chair out of the room, without him getting up, and flew down the hallway in a similar manner, leaving Dann somewhat bewildered by what just happened.

I guess... I just work on it over the weekend? He picked up his bag and began his walk to the dorms. On his way there, he kept getting the feeling; it was only when people were no more than an average room's length away, but the feeling would come and go; sometimes, he knew that people would appear behind the corner in the halls, but others they would take him by surprise. I've got to be doing something to make it start and stop... Dann thought.

He found himself at the top of a staircase, and he could feel that there was someone on the staircase somewhere... No, don't even think about it. Dann thought. Think about more important things... like your homework. Yeah, think about math, or biology or physics... He started to walk down the stairs, and nearly ran into the person the sensed while he was at the top. Woops, feeling's back again.

As soon as it came to mind, it would stick there, and he would start detecting souls all over the place. But, as soon as he distracted himself, he couldn't. He practiced all the way back to the dorms. By the time he got there, it was out of his mind; it was kind of like a song you get stuck in your head... and when you finally get it out, it stays out, for a while at least. Power in control, and blissfully unaware of it, Dann opened his Physics book and started his homework like it was any other day of the week.
