What's the difference between self discovery and self destruction

[iamtetsuo]

WHO: Tetsuo Shima and YOU
WHERE: Any city; just place it in the subject line or mention it in a thread. He'll be doing a lot of roaming around.
WHEN: Month of September
WHAT: Catchall open log for chaos or general activities - Tetsuo's been unleashed on America and intends to play garrys mod with it. If you wanted an excuse to fight an out of control psychokinetic, here it is
WARNINGS: General villainy (property damage, violence, possible drug use mentions, theft...) and potentially interrupting Kanedas at the end of threads

[It's a brand new month, and a brand new start; and with it comes so many brand new ways to find trouble.

You can expect to find Tetsuo engaged in normal shenanigans, like any ordinary sixteen year old. Things like threatening natives! Causing accidents or generally ignoring all traffic laws! Raiding drug stores! Hanging around on park benches or generally wandering aimlessly! Suffering from extreme migraines! All this and more in your hometown!

He's taken his motorcycle and psychic powers and hit the streets of America on a quest for ... you know what, we just don't know. The good news is, beyond checking churches for Crane, and making sure that his (glove-covered) wrist could say CRIMINAL from here until forever, he doesn't seem to have any set goals in mind on what to do. All that's clear is he can do what he wants, and he's not taking no for an answer to anything.

Feel free to fight him, talk to him, join in, what have you -- you're free to stop him but he's going to either run at the end if it's clear he can't win, or get you out of the way somehow. If you'd like to change this, talk with me and we can work something out.

I'll throw starters out on request, but please feel free to make your own. If you'd like to fight, check out his permissions first, but this is a general invitation to fight without any preamble or excuses.]

[By now, Tetsuo's fighting the impulse to put his hand on his head. Aaagh...]

Then what the hell're you getting in my way for??

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[Right. Talking did something to the human's head. He wasn't sorry this time.

< You caused that accident. >]

[iamtetsuo]

Yeah. They got in my way.

[Get it, freak?]

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[His eyes crinkle with disgust.

< I was right to warn them about you. Someone even tried to defend you. But they were just blind. >]

[iamtetsuo]

Go to hell. You better mind your own business, freak.

[Wait, who the hell defended him? He can fight his own battles, thanks]

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[< Don't call me freak. >

< It's my business when you're obviously a danger to everything around you. >]

[iamtetsuo]

[Hand back on head now]

I'll call you whatever I damn well want.

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[Hey look who's got the brain voice now ok. He make it just a tad louder now floating closer.

< You won't call me freak. >]

[iamtetsuo]

What're you gonna do about it? Freak. Huh?

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[Practically amplifying himself in Tetsuo's head now.

< Make life generally annoying for you. >]

[iamtetsuo]

[He's been trying hard to mask it, but that.. breaks his ability to cope. Even on all the things he's found that cut back on the pain, dull his mind to give that much-needed buffer, this guy manages to shove himself past the lingering fuzz and straight into Tetsuo's subconsciousness again.

The effect?

He visibly flinches, unable to keep both hands from clutching his head, audibly grunting with pain.]

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[Back a couple weeks he'd consider restraining being the similiarity in situations but...Tetsuo had tried any compassion he had. And the Crane deal did not help one bit.

< Now you see. I hold back not because I fear you. I do it to be better than you. >]

[iamtetsuo]

E-eat shit..

[Still defiant? Still defiant.]

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[The absurdity of what Tetsuo says makes Mewtwo's 'voice' soften as he stares at the psychic.

< ...eating shit won't help you here. >]

[iamtetsuo]

Wha-? Ngh... was ...tellin you to do it, dumbass.

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[< ...still a pointless gesture. It won't help you. >]

[iamtetsuo]

[Straightening back up. Ow. Holy hell ow.]

I don't - who cares?! You're dumber'n you look, aren't you!

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[< You're just pulling yourself from your own accident. >

What's that about?]

[iamtetsuo]

Shut up!

[Aaand... that's a shockwave of pure force aimed at Mewtwo. How mature.]

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[The blast is enough to make Mewtwo fall back. But his own psych potency catches him as he levitates back to his rightful posture, his eyes now full of a stern ominous glare.

He reaches forward, his own telekinesis seeking to pick up the other psychic.

< I warned you several times. Was that not enough? >]

[iamtetsuo]

[Tetsuo can feel himself rising into the air. Honestly, he's never faced another telekinetic before. This is a very new sensation, and one he really doesn't like. HE should be in control of this, not someone else!]

GO TO HELL!

[If Mewtwo gives him any time, he'll attack again to try to break out of the hold before ...something happens.]

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[He rises and Tetsuo rises with him. He's had a rough couple weeks and the last thing he's willing to let happen is a human boss him around.

They stop when he figures he can leave Tetsuo dangling.

< This is another of your baseless insults. They mean nothing to me. >]

[iamtetsuo]

[Nope. This stops right the hell now. This time, when Tetsuo yells, there's no coherent words at all - just rage.

And yet another attack aimed right at Mewtwo. It doesn't matter if Tetsuo falls - he can catch himself. What matters is he takes this - this ... whatever the hell this is right he hell down with him]

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[Distracted by well, holding Tetsuo, Mewtwo relinquishes his hold on the psychic instead hurtling through the air like a deflating balloon.

He regains his momentum, now speeding right back at him as he allows Tetsuo to fall and watch with a cold stare. He's still here, what are you going to do now?]

[iamtetsuo]

[Falling. Excellent. That means he's under his own power now. Tetsuo catches himself, at first drifting down slowly, then stopping midair, legs shifting underneath him...

With a flex of his mind he's shooting forward towards the thing, trying to pull his legs around in time to take the impact first, aiming to slam down hard into his opponent. That's what now.]
