Lieutenant JG Charlotte Brexis - Scared and Empathic
Charlotte Brexis
((Sickbay, Deck 5 - USS Icarus))
Foster: I think I get what you mean, Lystra. Something is… present.
She whipped her head around to look at Cade.
Brexis: Something? That’s vague. Something like what? A person? ::Lowering her voice:: A ghost?
Lystra: Well…I mean better a ghost than something like Borg…or a Moopsy, right?
Foster: Maybe something or someone survived. In a way that isn’t what we would call life.
A small huff came out of Charlotte. She typically kept her mental barriers in place and stayed out of other people's heads. Except Thelan, but that was a completely different story.
She swallowed hard and let her inner Betazoid out, lowering her shields just enough to feel around with her mind.
Brexis: I can feel something.
Lystra: Like what? The willies? Creeps? Heebie-jeebies? Cause I’m right there with you.
Foster: Response
She waved her hand around, but kept her eyes shut so she could focus.
Brexis: I don’t know what it is. I’ve… I’ve never felt anything like this before.
Lystra: Is it something alive?
Foster: Response
A static of emotions slammed into her. Terror, confusion, incoherent yelling and pain. She shook her head trying to push it away without losing the connection.
Brexis: Whatever is– or was here it’s not very happy…
Lystra: Yep, the phaser’s staying out this time.
Foster: Response
The strangeness of something or someone continued its assault on Charlotte's senses. Underneath it all she was fairly sure it was a man… One who was not very happy.
Lystra: If you want me to holster the phaser I can, there’s no need to be upset with me.
Charlotte gave Lystra a confused look.
Brexis: No one said anything…
Foster: Response
Lystra: Cade…I think you may be right.. Charlotte, you said you can sense something right? Are you able to communicate telepathically or are you just empathic? Can Betazoids talk with ghosts? ::she asked wryly:: Oooh, looks like someone had some non-regulation medicine in their drawers. ::she giggled::
Charlotte glanced at Lystra to see some dead tribbles floating away. Along with them there were two PADDs and a bottle of some kind of alcohol. Lystra poked it so it floated towards Cade.
Brexis: Well, ::her eyes following the bottle as it floated:: I am full Betazoid. Telepathic and empathic. I have some pretty heavy mental walls I keep up, but whatever I’m feeling is… different. I’ve never felt this. It’s like some kind of static and a lot of confusion. I’m sorry, I can’t really explain it better than that.
Foster/Lystra: Response
Charlotte pointed to the bottle.
Brexis: Are we going to celebrate after this is all over? ::Rubbing the back of her neck as best as she could through the suit:: This is making my head hurt.
Foster/Lystra: Response
Suddenly directly in front of her she felt someone, up close and personal. She shoved herself back violently and let out a yelp.
Brexis: What in the Four Hells was that?!
Her breathing was heavy and fast as she tried to keep herself in a somewhat upright position, which was incredibly difficult in the low-g.
Brexis: I felt someone standing right in front of me!
Foster/Lystra: Response
