Urbadelphia. It was such a strange town... Much different from where the young girl March was from. Especially this place. A store where you can buy more than one thing? This place sold food AND all sorts of other thing! Back where she he was from, to do the grocery shopping, one had to go to one store to buy bread, and another for meats. This was all so new to her him.
_________________________________________________
I was looking in awe at how there were meats right next to the breads. And... something in the aisles over here. Potato chips? I stand in front of the bag and look at it in confusion. Potatoes aren't thin like that.. I reach out, but take my hand back. "Right... Don't touch things if you don't know what they are..." I repeated the very mantra of my existence.

"That's a good brand," I told the strange person without really thinking of it, grabbing a bag for myself and adding it to my filling cart. "You should try some, they're pretty good for generics."

"Wait! Why-" I stop. He probably didn't know about the Ill. I didn't even know if the Ill were even here. That's why I was here in the first place. I knew I could touch them. The Ill couldn't affect me. I hesitantly take a bag and examine more of it. "What... are these?" I ask the boy. I tried to make my voice the not-so-feminine tone that I had to use around people.

I gave him a very strange look.
"Um, potato chips? Y'know... crunchy snacks? You eat them? Come in a gajillion different flavors, ring any bells...?"

I blink twice at the boy. Then I shake my head. "No. None.." I look him over. Hair... was never that color. And... "What are those things on your head? The purple things? And those white strings coming from them?"

I gave him an incredibly weird look. "It's an incredibly odd fashion accessory," I deadpanned. "They also increase my psychic powers." My ability to restrain sarcasm diminished early in the morning and when I had a headache. Since Nami had taken to using up my painkillers, and my prescription wasn't ready, and it was about 7AM, on a Saturday....
"They're headphones. What else?"

"Wow, really?! Psychic powers!" My eyes lit up like a child's, like green pools of glitter. "Headphones can amplify powers? That's so cool!" I lean in to get a closer look. "Wait..." Then I back up, ready to attack. I didn't sense an Ill... But if he had psychic powers, then how did he get them? "You're not an Ill, are you?" I ask, not quite sure what was in my voice. The feminine voice cracked when I said 'Ill.'

"An 'Ill'?" I asked. "What's that?"
Was it some kind of demon? Then again, it was likely this poor guy was pretty nuts. He wasn't wearing a tinfoil hat or anything, but I could tell he wasn't really playing with a full deck.
Then again, he might be. Experiencing a first Crossing does occasionally screw with people's minds.
I sighed, taking a deep breath, taking the time and effort to quietly ease my powers into his brain. I was starting to learn a little bit of control.
"Don't worry, I'm kidding," I said to him as I opened my mind to his.

So he knew about the Ill. Okay... Maybe that meant he knew what they were. Wait... Humans don't know about the Ill, though. He must be a Ciste Vihad. I nod and choose not to venture further. I open the bag and smell it. "Funny..." I comment, before taking one out of the bag and looking it over like a jeweler would a fine diamond.

His mind was strange; everything here was new to him. THe sights the sounds... I almost got lost inhis viewpoint. This was more than just overhearing a few thoughts, a few words. I tried to pull out, but I was drawn deeper and deeper until...
Something looked at me!
I pulled back in shock, eyes wide.
"What was that?" I asked under my breath, not realizing I made the comment aloud.

I raise my eyebrow, and look away from the chip. "What was what...?" I then jump, as though knowing the answer. "Oh! This!" I hold the chip to his face. "You already told me, it is a... potato chip." I then take it back and bite into it. It was so salty! In a good way, too! "Wow! This is new..."
