Super Hero
The night before last, as often is usual, Rian fell asleep listening to Conspiracy Radio.
The guest of the night meant to teach the audience how to 'Grow Their Telekinesis Skills.'
He gave three or four practice variations.
Rian's favorite went thusly:
Light a candle. Wait seven or ten minutes until the wax softens enough that the flame is steady. The Radio Guest suggested using these seve or ten minutes to meditate and remember that ye are one with the universe.
After ten minutes (or seven) have passed, focus on the candle, roughly half an inch above the tip of the flame. Imagine the flame rising and swelling to fill that empty space. Soon ye will find that the flame stretches to fill that space on command.
THEN ye are ready to move on to the next skill set, which vaguely enough involves the flipping of a coin.
Rian is a telekinesis skeptic. And a great believe in draft wobbling flames.
Nevertheless, just ye wait! In a handspand of days I shall be floating above the ground, lifted by Wild Telekinetic Powers...I shall wear a red velvet cape and a domino mask and shall call mySelf the FLAMING ORCHID.

Too bad you didn't know about that trick before the candle party-- you could have impressed the group.
Can Ata be your assistant? I can wear sequins. And carry a fire extinguisher.
Wow, we'll all be able float things about in no time. Nice and handy for the meet, I must say. None of that plane rubbish, I'll just fly myself over the ocean.
Thanks, Rian! You've changed my life.
*sniggers*
Not the Blushing Tulip? Or the Lovely Vase?
*winks at Heather*
"Beware, jesic," says Rian, grandly ignoring Emma, "the Secret of the Flame must not be passed on to just Anyone."
*chucks a live octopus at Rian*
Pshaw! Thy cowardly squidish shenanigans have no affect on THE FLAMING ORCHID. I shall counter with my Vorpal Sword of Dustless Doom.
...just as soon as I can unsheathe it with my mind.

What's with all the octopus abuse lately? Poor little creatures.
*telekinetically gathers all octopi strewn about the floor and deposits them in a large aquarium set up specially*
Now that's a sight. Octopi flying through the air seemingly of their own volition and splashing happily into a tank of water.
