This was a boon, in the sense that it did not require infrastructure in the form of an Operations Orb. Psychic powers, guided through the memories of magic from their second life, turned out to be able to emulate pretty much all of the various magical effects she remembered, although at a lower power level. Tanya didn't know how long she had been shielding herself. "Tanya, I'm here! The fire's gone, you can calm down now! It's safe, let me in!" Milla said nothing to that musing, only tightening the embrace. Just trust me, I won't ever let anything happen to you." When literal psychic spies were involved, Tanya held no illusions on how effective their amateurish psychic efforts would be. You're too young to be worrying about careers and conspiracies. "Always such a worrier." Miss Milla said with a fake smile. Immediately, Tanya stood up and presented herself to her guardian, and was promptly picked up and placed on her lap before being embraced. The fact that Miss Milla was telepathic but still mostly free was a promising sign, but far from definitive. Worse, Tanya's status as an orphan opened up a perfectly legal avenue for such kidnapping. If they had a psychic child known to them, were they the type to kidnap and indoctrinate them? Unclear. The only question was, what kind of organization were they? If you believe their marketing, they're basically super-spies that promote justice and halt the nefarious deeds of evil psychics, but that was far from a reliable source. They were fairly secretive, but given that they intervened when a powerful psychic caused massive disasters in the Eastern European country known as Grulovia, there wasn't any realistic way they could go back into hiding after that, so they pivoted from their roots in research to their current priorities. ![]() The exception was in that 'psychic abilities' were very real, run by an Interpol-like NGO known as the Psychonauts. In this world, 'magic' was nonexistent, instead it was a mostly-normal world in the 1960s, only a decade and a half earlier than her first date of birth. She should know, given how she was constantly bombarded with the normal, dreadfully boring thoughts of the other children. Reminding oneself of one's name and age was not exactly a normal thought, but it was better than the alternative. "I am Tanya Dosva, and I am six years old." As usual, the caretaker, a single woman for the eight kids in the converted church, gave her a concerned look, which was to be expected, given that she had telepathic abilities. Well, it wasn't called an orphanage, but a 'group home', but Tanya always preferred calling things as what they were.Īt that thought, Tanya stilled, and once again repeated her mental mantra. This orphanage was smaller than the last one. This is a post from my snippet thread, but it's got enough chapters that splitting it off into it's own thread seemed appropriate. ![]()
