Chapter 10 by Peithos Peithos

Any luck with research?

Research is a bust, mostly

Well, serious research was a bust. Nobody's ever experienced anything like what you're going through. ‘Or at least nobody's been crazy enough to write it down, I suppose.’

The closest you came was some anime, certain RPGs, etc. You browsed a few wikis, finding not much that was helpful. ‘Why is every fandom wiki run through this one site that's just flooded with ads?’

That led you to consider western comics, superheroes and the like, and go down a tangent imagining some wildly powerful abilities you could make…all of which would cost way more LP than you have, sadly. ‘I didn't realize I could even hold that much,’ you shake your head, but you'd checked things out with Appraisal and Editor (targeting yourself, then each skill to see their details), and there was no mention of an upper limit to how much LP you could hold. ‘I'll recuperate some LP when I sleep,’ you think as you turn in your chair to face your door, ‘but I should really find a way to stockpile some so I'm not so tired when I create new powers.’

Just then, movement catches your eye, and you see your sister Lily pass by your door with a towel over on shoulder. She's looking at her phone as she passes by, and a second later you hear the bathroom door close. ‘Guess she's taking a shower,’ you shrug, beginning to turn back to your computer, but a half-formed thought makes you pause. ‘I couldn't… Could I…?’

Clairvoyance: Observe another location, using all your senses, as if you were physically present. The location must be known (somewhere you’ve been), or in an obvious location that is unfamiliar to you (such as behind a door, around a corner, or in a grove of trees). Your point of observation may move, so you may “walk” it around to explore an area.
Cost: 400

You go still, knowing this would definitely be crossing a line…

Do you cross that line?
