[Once again, Kon's in the Talon, drinking a huge cup of coffee (which in itself's a bad sign - Kon doesn't really like the taste of it). He stares at the screen blankly for a moment before he goes ahead and asks:]

I know I wasn't here that long, but this Filippo Rescari's offer sounds ridiculous. He said he was the guy that tortured you guys last year - so was he the one that put everyone on reality TV? [There's a long pause as Kon realizes belatedly...] And did he put us on reality TV AGAIN?

I'm kinda wondering now since he was able to watch us and stuff. It's like we're all in one giant episode of the Truman Show - only we know this place's fake and we need to get out fast. I don't know about you guys, but the Talon and Professor's car and Willis's house and Ichijou's weird tub of blood... all those things being here aren't good.

I like the Talon, but I didn't want my world to be affected by this stupid experiment too. Are we still looking for that lab? I think I want in. And if we're not... well, come down and have some coffee. It'll all be on the house. [Nevermind that it was already free in the first place.]

[Ah, right. Kon had completely forgotten about the whole kilt thing. He grins sheepishly, shaking his head as he takes Jamie's hand.]

Nah, it should be fine. [Then, with a slight nod, he slowly levitates them up in the air. As promised, it's not more than a couple of feet off the ground.]

... Just lemme know if you wanna go higher.

[He'd been expecting something, but the sensation of rising in the air was more than a bit strange to him. It's just as well that it's slowly, or he might have wound up trying to clutch onto Kon and hang on for dear life. As it is, he's still looking a bit nervous around the edges.]

Er, um...no, this is fine. You've been able to do this most of your life, ye said? How?

[tactilekonesis]

You're not afraid of heights, are you? I promise you don't have to look down or anything...

[He shrugs, not really sure how else to explain it.] My dad's from a planet called Krypton. It's a red sun planet, so when we live on yellow sun planets... we get superpowers like this. I guess it's just one of those things I don't think about too much?

[bonnypiperlad]

N-no, of course I'm not! [But he's still going to follow that advice about not looking down all the same. Fortunately, the conversation gives him something to focus on.]

Ah, so ye were born like that. Aye, well, I suppose it'd not be something ye really think about, then. I'd not even would have thought that sort of thing was possible a few years ago, myself.

[Then again, he would have thought that about a lot of things at that time. That part of things have definitely changed.] There were stories, ye ken, but nothing like what ye can do. Or some of the other people here, come to think of it. This place seems to have a lot of people here with powers, have ye noticed?
