[In sharp contrast to her professional tone the last time she addressed the public, this time she's most definitely pissed. In a more level voice than she'd like to use:]
I don't know who you are or what you want, but stay the fuck out of my head.
[Yeah, Charles, this means you. Years of being mindraped by ancient alien beacons of doom and then a dozen curious asari have made her profoundly sensitive to when someone's poking around inside her head.
She's not going to put out any threats. She's hoping she doesn't have to. Her point's been made.]
[ ooc: sorry for posting again so soon, I'm done spamming the comm after this one. |D She just. Wouldn't have let this slide, and this is the only way to make sure whoever it is (cough charles cough) hears it.]

I'm by far not the only one with 'prejudices'. But I guess that's too damn bad for us, then, right?
supertext is OOC notes
This helps. Whether it's coming from a propaganda broadcast or a telepathic one does not change that.
ooc: 1 - This also came at a time when air raid procedures were being refined and perfected, and citizens were growing more accustomed to the reality of bombings, which no doubt contributed to the statistics.
2 - This particular neighborhood was targeted for several days at the peak of young!Charles' power for the purposes of filming some propaganda about how British citizens were handling the Blitz.
3 - This is true, but early on, Charles reducing a soldier's fears often meant increasing his likelihood of getting killed, and led to a rise in casualties in the short run. He's gotten better at the technique now but still not eliminated that problem. Also it tends to result in him absorbing the trauma of everyone's fear, thus making him someone you really don't want to be around in those situations.
roger that
Look--This may have helped, back home. Hell, it might even help here.
But there are people with big goddamn guns here, people who won't put up with bullshit as long as I do. People who'll shoot you in a second if there's even a chance it'll get you out of their heads.
Knock it off. For your sake. Don't make me ask you again.

[One of the downfalls of text--out loud, he'd probably have heard a grudging sort of kinship in her tone. She's 'one of those' too, a lot of the time. The sort who pays a little too much attention to past mistakes.]
So what will you do, then? Scramble their minds until they can't remember wanting you dead?
no subject
I don't do that casually. I consider it a fate worse than death to have free will violated so deeply.
[ He's only done that once. And that was a long time ago. ]
no subject
You don't strike me as the kind of person who'd kill them, either. So what then?
no subject
no subject
[Not so much, actually. Considering killing them and controlling their minds would pretty much be the two ways to stop everyone he's angered from killing him, and he just took both of those off the table.]
no subject
I'm not going to stop. Now that you know the effect is there, it should be easy enough to shrug off. It's very mild.
