psychometry opt-in

One of the powers Boba gained upon arriving in game is the power of psychometry! As explained in his app:

Boba has the ability to “read” someone’s memories by touching an object held by them at the time. When he uses this ability, he can briefly experience the sights, sounds, and feelings, both physical and emotional, that the object’s wielder experienced while in possession of the object at one point in time. Highly emotional memories tend to be the clearest, while more mundane ones fade into the background. Boba cannot control what memories he experiences, and objects frequently held by numerous people are difficult and unpleasant to read, as they result in a sensory barrage.


That means if Boba touches something that your character was holding/wearing during an emotionally significant moment, he might, in essence, relive that emotional memory! Boba doesn't like this ability that much and so will not use it intentionally without reason. Still, if you're interested in playing with this in the future or in a current thread, leave a comment with the following info below!

Player Name:
Character name + Journal Name:
What object(s) can Boba read?: Is it something carried or something worn? How might Boba get his hands on it? Why might Boba want to read the object or how might he come into contact with it accidentally?
What memories does the object carry? Be as detailed as possible here! Include not only emotions, but sensory details. What did your character see/hear/feel during this memory?



Thanks for reading! Also let me know if you have any questions, either with a comment below, a PM, or a PP at [plurk.com profile] crimsonxiphos!

What object(s) can Boba read?: Her skateboard
What memories does the object carry? He can see any number of things - her learning to ride it when she was younger (like, 11 or 12)- Emotions would have been excitement, determination, the rush of wind through her hair and an ocean breeze. Her 18 year old asshole stepbrother Billy breaking it after she disobeyed him. There would have been a lot of screaming on Billy's part, probably name calling, and she would have felt hatred, anger, and also a great deal of fear. Falling off it in a gymnasium while talking to her friend Mike - she was in a good mood, but falling puzzled her (as unbeknownst to her, a psychic child yanked it out from beneath her out of jealousy), so she was confused because she was pretty good at skateboarding by then. She was feeling hopeful that Mike would agree to let her join his group of nerd friends.
