[OOC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[Mistress Dizzy]

I don't think Devika's control is that precise, for one. For two that'd be godmodding out the wazoo. besides, they may have the same power but they work differently.

[knight125]

That's true. Thank you for not arguing.

Why would I argue that? Not controlling someone else's character is like... rule one of RP...

[knight125]

I'm going to sleep.

Question, how are they sensing the emotions?

[MarshiestMallow]

Empafhy. It means being in tune with anothers emotions, its like a sixth sense. Hard to describe really.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack and Griffin are going to confuse them!

[twave]

I ask because if it's done through a mental method then they might not sense Estella unless she lowers her mental barriers. It is relevant.

[Mistress Dizzy]

It's mental, yes. Though Devika's never read an alien before. So who knows if they're even on the same wavelength/

[KatherinWinter]

Have you ever looked at someone and knew how they were feeling. Or walked into a room and knew an agreement just occurred. Empathys sence emotions the way we smell a fragrance

[MarshiestMallow]

I have but then, im a nurse lol

hm. Interesting.

[twave]

Heh. Empathy doesn't have to be so nebulous. It may be a sixth sense but there has to be something to sense. Otherwise it wouldn't be a sense. I can think of four ways off the top of my head. Mentally, being able to read the particulars of the brain that revolve around emotion; chemically, able to pick up the subtle chemical scents that the body gives off; thermally, able to sense and interpret the areas of the body that heat up and cool down with particular emotions; and perhaps the more difficult to explain aurally, the ability to sense the aura (one could say spirit) that surrounds every living being.

[MarshiestMallow]

I'll figure out how Kalinda can sense them then.

[KatherinWinter]

Yea those would all work never thought of it that way

[twave]

Those aren't necessarily the only ways either obviously someone with a very keen eye can also read body language. And given that this is fiction there is no reason it couldn't be some other way.

[MarshiestMallow]

Yeah but she can sense emotions not read body language to know. I'll have a think and explain later

[twave]

Really I just want to know, if Estella were around would they sense her or not?

[Mistress Dizzy]

out of what you mentioned Devika's would be mental, it's a brain thing

it's 2am and di can't sleep

[twave]

1:30 am here. I feel ya.

[KatherinWinter]

It would be interesting if the could seeherbutnot sense her
