[OOC] Hopefully Sanctuary

[Mistress Dizzy]

My laptop is acting up, it may be a bit before I post.

[KatherinWinter]

Ok. Thanks for letting me know.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Turns out my laptop just wanted to be restarted, I should be good.

[Mistress Dizzy]

A knife throwing Devika's going to remind me of the superhero version of her I cooked up ages ago.

[KatherinWinter]

That's cool. Roxy always throws knives. I've never had a version of her that couldn't.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Sorry my post is so short. I didn't want to keep you waiting, but couldn't think of what to write.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Could you explain more about the nature of an Anchor and an Empath's working relationship?

[KatherinWinter]

Anchor form like a bubble around Empaths protect them from other people's emotions. Empaths are highly valued in fields like criminal justice, counseling, and teaching because they can access emotions if they wish.

[Mistress Dizzy]

And the closer they are, the better the bubble works?

[KatherinWinter]

Yes. Remember most empath find their anchor among their family and friends which means they are already close. The bubble is usually pretty solid. Roxy's bubble isnt perfect because she isnt close to Devika.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Has the government ever made mistakes with this kind of thing? Like picking the wrong anchor or something?

[KatherinWinter]

Probably. Especially early in the program when they were still trying to figure out how Anchors protected Empaths. When the program started they only knew anchors protected empaths but not how or why. The first few empaths that couldn't find anchors in their circle of family and friends were probably matched several times before they figured out how to match the pieces together to protect the empaths. Now they know it's mostly biological and look at chemicals and things to match sure the anchor balances the empath.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Gotcha. I'm trying very hard to think of what to post next, and as always, my brain says "time skip". But I'm not sure to what. Maybe a week or so later? Devika's unpacked, the room is set, and they get another letter from the government?

[KatherinWinter]

We can go to the next day. Let Devika see a little of Roxy's life. I have a few ideas there. Then letter from government or Devika's family stopping by for a short visit.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Works for me! I will try to post tonight.

[KatherinWinter]

Just so you know they are above the garage Roxy owns. It's kind of a loft apartment. Everything is in one main room with the bedroom separate and off to the side.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Oh, okay. I didn't realize that. I removed the 'downstairs' part of the post.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[KatherinWinter]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[Mistress Dizzy]

I find myself a little bit stuck.
