So,

In an attempt to get a better hold on my power, I have a favour to ask of you all. I've been contemplating not using the little air scrubber thing while I'm in the suite. This will of course affect all of you since it's a confined space and if I leak you're going to get the effects of it.

For the most part it shouldn't be anything horrible. Maybe a bit of an up in the mornings when I come back from my run, or your body would inexplicably feel relaxed for no reason you can fathom. It's only if I freaked out that it might get weird but I'm almost certain nothing is going to frighten me suddenly.

Anyway, I won't do it if any of you are uncomfortable but I figure this'll give me a better idea of when my power is off or on and how it works on others over time. If you're all okay with it, I'll ask Paige and Moira as well before I go ahead.

Dear Laurie,

If it is to be helping you with your learning and Mr. Professor and Mr. Haller are saying it is being safe for me, I am not minding. I will be sure to be telling you if I am feeling anything different.

From,

Yvette.

I am trying to type on the computer now. I am sorry if it is hard for reading. When I am frighten suddenly I am turned to sand. But I think you should not turn on the machine if you do not want. Thank you for the ask.

Laurie,

I do not have a problem with it. In fact, I am happy to hear that you are going to be working on control without the air scrubber.

Of course, I doubt that your power will affect me unless I actually allow the pheremones to reach me.

Ah. Hmmm.

I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be with this.

Hey Crystal, is there a surefire way you can keep the phermones from reaching me?

As much as I want you to control your power, Laurie, outside influence on my state of mind isn't something I feel real comfortable about right now.

Jennie,

I am not quite sure that I will be able to do this. First of all, there are times when you and Laurie will be in the suite while I am away. In addition, it is one thing to surround myself with wind and/or blow the pheremones away from me; it is another matter to constantly do this with another person.

Perhaps this will be possible if Laurie only ceases the use of her air scrubber during specified times and you stay in close proximity to me while she does this.

Another option is to set up a wall of wind at our door when Laurie is in the suite and is not utilizing her air scrubber.

Remember, I am willing to speak with you, or simply listen to you speak to me, about any matter you wish to discuss.

Laurie,

I will try to see what I can work out in regards to Jennie. I have suggested that perhaps you will only refrain from using your air scrubber during certain times that we know about in advance. Unfortunately, I cannot keep Jennie from being affected all day. Blocking pheremones from reaching someone requires an effort and I cannot just leave something in the room to keep the pheremones from reaching Jennie.

It is my sincere hope that you will be able to work on the control of your powers and get to the point where the air scrubber is no longer a necessity. I have spent a great deal of time on learning how to control my powers.

Look, I'm sure there's something we can work out. 'Cause it is your powers after all. Maybe a filter for my room?

I'm just funny when it comes to something like that. It's not personal, I'm just not too keen on having feelings I'm not supposed to have.

Maybe we can stick a filter in our room or something, if you don't mind. Or I can get an individual one like she had. Though that might muck up her control issues. ARGH. This is difficult.

One the one hand, I want her to feel in-control, and what better place to do that than the suite? On the other, I'm really really really uncomfortable being controlled like that. Even though I know it would be unintentional...

Oh dammit. Now my head hurts.

Hey Jennie,

Firstly, perfectly understand and I think Crystal had an interesting idea about either a particular time of day for trying this or maybe we can talk to Forge about a filter for your rooms.

Secondly though, thought I'd explain a bit about my power, since to control it, I've got to know if it's effecting you guys at all anyway so that I can focus on it.

It's not mental at all. I'm not going to be changing the way you think or feel. From what they tell me, it only affects your body. It's completely physical in nature. I'm sure Paige or Moira could probably explain this better. From what they've told me. Say, I'd just come back from a run, you'd get the physical benefits of the adrenlin rush I'm feeling but you wouldn't 'feel' how I feel.

I've been told the experience is somewhat odd, especially since you don't have the corresponding emotion/mental thought pattern associated with your bodily reaction.

But, having said that, I can understand the need to be in control of things. So, at particular times of day I could do. That'd give me a chance to get enough time to practice control and you'd be prepared for things. Or we could talk to Forge about that filter in your room.
