Energy: 106 – Bon Guinea Pig
Telekinesis, elemental-kinesis, all the different kinds of ESP, Katie had been looking forward to studying them for years – Ever since they’d made the jump from science-fiction to science-fact. But there were some things about life at the Institute for Paranormal Study that she’d never conjured up in her ten-plus years of daydreaming about it. Bullies, for one thing. Because seriously, who would expect that kind of nonsense at a college? There were a few things that come to mind when you think of college; like toga parties and ingesting copious amounts of cheap alcohol, (or, if you were Katie, a huge library and quiet park benches where you could study.) But would swirlies make that list? No. No they would not. Another thing never featured would be a tyrannical frog faced evil nazi clone of a professor…who shall remain nameless…who uses her tentative power to control and crush the will of innocent knowledge seeking students…who shall also remain nameless. But the biggest curveball was her living arrangements. Did she get a swanky apartment with her best friend in which they get up to zany hijinks with hilarious outcomes? Nope. A cluttered dorm room covered in old pizza boxes, with a cranky roommate and a lumpy bed? Not a chance. A park bench she shares with a creepy homeless person and his flock of pigeon minions? She should be so lucky. No, due to various extraneous circumstances, she ended up saddled with her step-family. Her evangelical, anti-psychic extremist step-family. Katie was certainly not a precog, but she was beginning to see a pattern…And now it seems as if her school itself may be hitting a run of bad luck, too. One which it might not be able to bounce back from. With Kinetics on one side, a nazi frog on the other, and a pitchfork wielding psychopath at her back, the only way Katie wanted to move was forward. For that, she needed IPS; and it seemed like IPS needed her, too.
