[Simon's peering into his locket, looking uncertain- brows gently furrowed as if he's concentrating, but slightly hesitant to speak. To one other person in particular here, it must be somewhat reminiscent of the Simon who was worried about speaking up, worried his friends might think he was stupid for voicing his thoughts. He licks his lips. Should he have told Alisha first?]

Did-.. anyone else see things last night? [Though his voice is even and sure, a hand is idly pushes back the brown hair at his forehead with a flicker of self-consciousness. He doesn't really know these people, should he be sharing this?] I don't know if it was a message- it was, more like a vision. Like someone trying to contact me.

[Blue eyes lift, glancing upward briefly before settling back upon the locket he recalls what he was shown.] There were people asking for my help. It seemed like they were being torn apart er- in the sky. [His nose wrinkles a little, it sounds vaguely ridiculous and wasn't pleasant, that much is reflected in his expression and he's compelled to help them even if he doesn't have any idea how, this is all he can do. Perhaps someone else here will know better.]

[Simon's little relieved to hear he isn't going utterly mad, perhaps all the more eager to talk to the other given the delay in his reply. After all, this is why he chose to share what he'd seen.]

Yes. Do you know why we saw it?

[His tone sounds rather hopeful. Plenty of other people here know more about this land, the magic, how it all works. Maybe someone knows. Other, than you know, someone being desperate for help.]

No.

[he doesn't really want to go into it -- he had been hoping simon had a better explanation. looks like he has to talk.]

You think everyone saw what we saw?

I don't think so-- at least Alisha didn't see anything. She didn't say anything about it to me.

[His tone implies clearly enough that she would have. He thinks. Simon takes a breath in, as if he's a little nervous.]

It's just. I don't usually see- ..things like this.

[ben doesn't know who alisha is but he assumes she's a good friend of simon's. either way, he doesn't ask about her.

he sounds a tad exasperated when he responds,]

You don't. What do you think this means? People -- normal people -- ain't used to this, and now everybody's talkin' about it. Who d'you think did this?

But- I'm not normal. [Simon's almost a little too keen to offer this up, not quite pride but there's a sense of eagerness in his voice.] I see things sometimes. Things that are going to happen, but usually it's my future, I'm part of the vision. Because I can change it.

[There's a pause, he only wishes he had something else.]

I don't know. The ..sky doesn't seem quite right either. People are talking about that too --do you have any ideas?

[ben is taken aback by simon's willingness to admit his abilities, to broadcast the information over the network so easily. not only that, but that his abilities are similiar to his own. he's baffled. a part of him is envious that simon can accept himself for the way he is and talk about it, but all ben can manage is a curt response.]

I ain't, either.

[he gives a shake of his head, though simon can't see it.]

No. Maybe someone's doin' this, makin' us see things.

[wouldn't be the first time for ben, anyway.]

[Simon smiles to himself, even if it's not visible, it's sort of audible in his voice.]

You've got powers? [By nature he's curious; he's thought about the fact he's bound to meet people with different abilities, magic and spells. In Wertham no one was born with what they could do.]

I think you might be right. Maybe it's a test? [To see if they'll act, see if they'll help. How? He's not really sure.]

[he ignores simon's question, happy to move on to the next. he's not ready to admit something like that.]

A test for what?

[it's not happening to just a few of them, so ben's at a bit of a loss. at home, he'd be able to make more sense of things, but now, it's really all up in the air.]

[Simon's still interested in these powers, though it's an obvious snub of his question, he doesn't take it badly.]

Maybe to ..see if we'll help them or not? We're supposed to do things- people talk about gaining favour with the royals. I've never really had to do anything like that.

[Maybe this is one of those things, deeds that would please the royals? Even so, Simon's still more curious about this voice.]

I'm Simon.
