[Most people had decent superpowers, like flight or super-strength or super-speed. Growing up without them hadn't really made Cissie envy her peers, especially since she was pretty used to her own supervision and enhanced reflexes.

So when Garden suddenly went bonkers - again - and even Cissie got a power, she thought she should be elated. After all, she had superpowers! Even if they were only temporary! Except no. Cissie's superpower? Was totally and completely involuntary. Teleportation - "bouncing," as she heard it was termed - was much much worse than she thought it'd ever be.

Case in point: she wanted to go to the bathroom. Any bathroom.

... Which is why she's somehow in YOUR bathroom right now. She'd apologize for just falling into your tub in a huge cloud of smoke, but at this point? She's more frustrated that she's still in her ratty pajamas. Clearly, the superpower gods didn't favor her.]

[ooc | Cissie's superpower was involuntary teleportation. It... clearly backfired on her in more ways than one.]

Is that the only certain symptom of madness in you? I only ask to ensure that any physical drubbings I inflict are completely warranted.

[Snorts.] It's the only sign I know... though I wouldn't be surprised if there were more hiding in the woodwork.

Significant psychosis is rarely caused by one factor alone. If the problem worsens it's likely the other issues will come to light in due time.

[Oh dearrr, she's talking to someone who actually knows her stuff.] Yeah? Are you planning to become a psychologist or something?

[she smirks a little] If I can acquire the necessary degrees in a timely fashion and the medical board deems me knowledgeable enough to be certified. It's a fascinating profession.

Then I wish you all the best. [Cissie can't help giggling as she cautiously steps out of the tub.] I'm planning on being a doctor myself, but we'll see how well that goes.

Any particular subset, or just general practitioner? [she steps back a little to let her move out of the bathroom if she'd like]

Sometimes I find myself wondering if perhaps I should look into physical medicine as well despite my intentions to be a doctor of the mind. It seems to be knowledge I need more and more often.

[Cissie starts to head out, but she ends up leaning on the doorframe anyways.]

Probably a general practitioner. I haven't really thought much about specializing, but... then again, Garden doesn't really offer much in terms of a traditional medicine program, so it makes sense.

[She nods in agreement] It wouldn't hurt to look into both. You never know when it'll come in handy!

I don't imagine that they have much interest in neurosurgeons given the intended career paths of most prospective graduates. [eyeroll]

And I do believe that I might, if only for something else to do.
