my eyes are glowing and i can see through walls

i don't even know if i'm posting this right because I CAN SEE THROUGH THE COMPUTER and looking at parts and boxes and circuits on a card thingy is cool i guess but i can see through the monitor too so i can't see where i'm typing!!

i think retrospec gave me x-ray vision which is cooler than turning into a puddle or any of those other weird powers i was worried about BUT HELP

[ Well if she can't see the screen let's respond with a video/voice: ]

Can you see through your eyelids if you close them?

[frostythehitman]

[ He follow's Elda's lead on using voice. It's easier for him anyway. ]

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

[maidofmistakes]

Uh... No! Okay, no. Closing eyes works. I still don't know how to turn it off.

[maidofmistakes]

You can't turn off your eyes!

[matchbreaker]

No I figured, it's just good to know you have a way to not be sick for a little!

[ Okay... ]

Can you feel anything going on in the back of your eyes?

[digthefuzz]

what??
whoa
um
try to calm down!

[maidofmistakes]

[breathes] Okay. Okay. Uh... yeah, sort of. Like something's switched on and humming. But not like a robot. I think it'd feel different if I were a robot?

[maidofmistakes]

Im trying but ?? i don't knos wherh to type!

[digthefuzz]

ummm
close your eyes and try to focus for a minute?
there's gotta be a way to tune it down
you'll find it!

[thesettingsun]

[Also voice!]

I was kidding about the sludge powers??

Okay, um. Aside from what you're seeing, and the glowing, does anything feel different now? Like, maybe something around your eyes.

[playdolls]

Amazing! Can I examine you?!

[matchbreaker]

No, no, you're not a robot.

[ Probably? Probably. Let's just keep going here ]

Pretty much all the nerves and things that connect elsewhere are in the back of the eye. If you can feel something there, does it hurt? Or do you think it's a new muscle, maybe?

[ That would be weird but... then so are glowy eyes? She can't imagine a species that would want to have on see through everything eyes on all the time, if for no other reason it would be hard to get around and/or spew radiation everywhere. So ... it might be an on-off thing? Like when her eyes go more cat-like, even if she's not learned to control that well. ]

... Oh, and keep up the breathing. It'll be good to keep calm, don't worry, we'll help you.

[heiroglyphs]

Wait so if you can't even see the computer
How are you expecting to read the responses?

[maidofmistakes]

Right. Calm. Wait, new muscle? That just sounds like my eyeballs are gonna bulge out.

[maidofmistakes]

okay tried that
it's still hard to type when you see everything through the screen and it's hard to focus
maybe just focusing on what's in frong of me?

sry for typos

[maidofmistakes]

Yeah! It's like they're working extra hard or something. I'm not gonna try eating sludge, though.

[maidofmistakes]

please don't dissect me
i think you said dissect it's kind of hard when the words are transparent

[maidofmistakes]

I can see it, just I also see through it. My heasd hurts and it's hard to see.

X-ray vision? Wow Kara.

[Okay, focus Luna.]

...What were you doing when you set it off?

[maidofmistakes]

Trying to study for Chem. I felt like my eyeballs were going to fall out, and the next thing I knew, I was seeing through to the next page of the textbook, and then to the next and the next!

[digthefuzz]

no worries man
i can't even imagine what that's right
but yeah maybe focusing can help?
just keep trying different methods and i'm sure you'll find something that works

[maidofmistakes]

okay. Okay going to try and focus, that's how I got into this mess
X-ray vision can't be on forever, right?
im ean you'd get sick

[matchbreaker]

Muscle or nerve cluster or something, I can't know. Just breathe in and breathe out, and see if you can pinpoint what feels different. You said it seems like it's humming, right?

[maidofmistakes]

[She takes a moment, closing her eyes and breathing slowly.]

Yeah. Kind of like... It started when I was trying to study for chem. I was so focused, my brain was going to fry.

[matchbreaker]

[ Focus... Focus, okay, that makes sense. ]

Keep trying to relax, see if the humming dies down. Let's talk about something low-stress for you for a while... feel free to babble.

[ If it doesn't and it's like a switch, they can back up to that. ]
