Today is October 12th, 2024. You are a normal person, living a normal life, remaining completely unremarkable among over 8 billion others just like you. Today, you are going to manifest psychic powers, and your life will very rapidly cease to be normal. Who are you?> Jacob Porter, male, 25 years old. Works 2-3 shitty wagecuck jobs, splits rent with a tolerable roommate, almost exclusively engages with political media, thinks world is doomed.> Rebecca Sims, female, 28 years old. Homeless, addicted to heroin, probably some sort of undiagnosed mental illness. Got fired from her acting job after years of mounting stress and misery, lost her apartment, got disowned, and was never able to pick herself back up.> Casey Russo, nonbinary, 20. Junior in undergrad for computer science, participates in three clubs, in a sorority, has a part-time job and an internship with the campus. Uses amphetamines, sleep deprived, going to crash and burn.> Pete Pruitt, male, 36. Lives with his parents, works a shitty wagecuck job, entire life consists of helping his elderly parents, working, watching escapist slop, playing vidya, or gooning. Definitely has some sort of depression.> Thomas Duarte, male, 52. Lives alone, survives off social security and renting out some property he inherited. Alcoholic, stopped trying to quit over a decade ago, children and ex-wife hate or avoid him. Has pancreatic cancer that will kill him in ~8 months.> Robert Writt, "male," 31 years old. Uses /lgbt/ and /pol/ consistently, chud, closeted trans woman, hates himself, moderately suicidal, keeps to himself, has a decent job and splits rent with two roommates.> Gabriela Cabrera, female, 24. Always loved reading and writing stories, and was pressured into college. Has no long-term life plans, a knee-deep pile of debt, and a few months until she has a degree in literature. Deeply avoidant person, only thing keeping her sane is her girlfriend and some high school friends.> Kurt Ortega, male, 18. Lifelong interest in sports, good enough to get scholarships. Plans on going to a trade school, partying with buddies, getting certification, and maybe locking down his hot high school sweetheart.

But if not, here goes. (Perhaps someone should hijack this?)
>>6369506I'll vote for the middle aged Spiderman lore ripoff Pete Pruitt.Else I'll give a +1 to the Jacob Porter squad.>>6369787>that isn't a boring tumblr lesbian OCYeah all of the characters seem half assed, but who knows maybe OP can read the room.

>QM messageHey everyone, NecroQM here. I'm stepping in to continue this quest because I really love the premise.
>>6424152Extremely based behavior. Godspeed, NEW QM
>>6424152Maybe redo the characters though
>Gabriela Cabrera, female, 24It's the evening. You are in your pjs, drinking hot coco and reading a romance novel, smuggled up on your bed in the college dorm at University of California. You imagine yourself as the protagonist, and your girlfriend, Rebecca, as the love subject. The story is scandalous, as in the story, which is set in 18th century, the love subject was, in secret, selling her body to strange men in exchange for opium. Yet the protagonist would fail to notice anything, because she was so enamoured with her. Part of you wonders, would Rebecca ever do something similar to you?As you stare through the window outside at the moon, you see a bright flash of light. Your body feels warm, warmer than the coco. It feels exhilaring, and you feel empowered. What's happening to you? Instinctively, you know. You feel it running through your body; psychic power. For a split second, you have a vision of yourself, floating in the sky, emanating energy in resonance with the moon. The sheer intensity of it makes your head spin, a creeping dread that you're losing your sanity warring with the euphoria. What's your power?>The power to enslave Rebecca and make sure she remains yours and only yours for the rest of your life.>The power to read minds, so that Rebecca, and any other person you care about, cannot hold secrets from you.>The power to kill anyone with a single though, so that anyone who crosses you or betrays you dies horribly in the instant.
>QM messageAs the original QM started with an image of the earth, I thought it would be poetic to continue with an image of the moon.>>6424189>QM messageWhich ones?
>>6424235Oh whoops I didn't see this update>The power to read minds, so that Rebecca, and any other person you care about, cannot hold secrets from you.
You invited Rebecca, your girlfriend, and Robert, your best friend, to dinner at Momo Masala, an Indian restaurant. It’s a rare attempt at normalcy, a distraction from your knee-deep pile of debt, your lack of long-term plans, and the deeply avoidant tendencies that define your life. They are the only things keeping you sane.Rebecca sits across from you. Unkempt blonde hair, a hazy, distant gaze. She is clean, but it’s a fragile cleanliness; she has definitely seen better days. She’s dressed in the bare minimum: a faded purple sweatshirt and matching sweatpants. Living in a homeless shelter means zero clothing budget. You constantly wonder if she’s sticking around because you can afford to buy her a meal, or if she actually loves you. She feels emotionally numb. No smiles, no tender words to soothe your anxieties. Just a hollow presence."Why are we eating here?" Robert asks, adjusting his black-rimmed glasses. "I don't like Indian food."He is the quintessential grumpy "chud". Miserable by default, critically tearing down everything in sight. His venom seems aimed at the world, but you know it's mostly aimed inward. Still, he has his moments: a surprisingly keen eye for fashion, a rare, genuine compliment on something small. That sliver of softness is why you keep him around. You have your own mess of problems, so his misery is comfortably relatable."Food is food," Rebecca says, her voice flat. "Would you prefer to eat the slop they serve at the shelter?""I'll pass on that.""Then stop complaining, and eat.">Flirt with Rebecca. Ask her about what moods and feelings she's experienced lately, and if she's been experimenting with anything.>Read Rebecca's mind, to discover what she thinks about the meal, about you, and if she's been feeling okay at the shelter.>Read Robert's mind, to discover why he's grumpy today, and if anything has hurt his feelings that he hasn't been able to talk about in public.
>QM messageI'm still experimenting, but I'm trying my best to match the OP's style.
