oc voicetest!
option i
[Welcome to a nonspecific big city in America! Superheroes abound. As do supervillains. It's a real problem for the little people, but if you try, superheroes and villains can also be a business opportunity.
You may have heard about a little shop hidden in the back alleys. A shop run by a weirdo, but one that has results- If you go and ask, the shop owner can improve your superpowers. How? Well, you'll have to find out. But you can't cause problems- After all, this person supposedly has other powers, too. An incredibly powerful person, able to easily disable anyone who tries to cause problems... but the potential rewards of expanding your powers exist.
Are you seeking her out? Or have you simply found yourself here without realizing? Either way, whoever you were expecting, it probably isn't a girl with multicolor hair and a cat-ear headband.]
Welcome, what are you after, don't mind the burning smell, we don't need to talk about that!
[... yeah it definitely smells like... burnt pasta?]
option ii
[Alternately, maybe you're both in a jamjar setting together. Maybe you know Enchant. You probably don't, really. But either way, she's approaching you, and... putting a hand next to her face, like.]
You know. Like, nyah.
[She's looking at you expectantly.]

I've heard some rumors about you... being able to make people more powerful?
[ Runa hardly needs more power but more complete control over it...? ]
no subject
[Pause.]
... Legally, I have to inform you for advertising purposes that I don't actually increase or alter your powers at all. What I do is expand on the possibilities your powers always had but you haven't figured out yet.
no subject
[ Like uh
That one thing in Dragon Ball right? ]
I wonder how far I can get?

[She's going to head over to an... extremely cluttered desk in the back of the room
and just. one big arm sweep and the desk is now Clear. It's fine. Don't worry about the mountain of trash on the sides of the desk where she just... hurls everything off her desk whenever she needs to clear it off. It's fine. She sits down at the desk opposite Runa!]
So, I guess, first, let's start with the basics! I need your name, but a pseudonym is fine. And contact info, but a burner phone or something is fine. And a brief summary of your powers!

Mess solved.
[ She laughs under her breath. ]
I'm Runa Urumi.
[ It sounds like it could be a real name. It's not her birth name, though. ]
I have a burner number. My power lets me control people! When I want to, anyone who hears my voice can be brought under my sway. It varies with how close they are, if there's something in the way, and I can give someone a specific order that they have to do now, or to make them want to listen to me long term.

[She puts a finger to her lips, thinking.]
So, first, we'll need to break down the exact mechanics. It sounds like it's a power based on "cognition"- Would I be correct in assuming if someone doesn't understand the order- They don't speak the same language as you, for example- it wouldn't work?
[She seems... remarkably unbothered by this power, actually? Mind control? Eh it's whatever.]

[She's folding her arms, continuing to tap her chin.]
... For the record, you won't be able to use your power to avoid paying.
no subject
[ Runa cocks her head. She's not surprised that this lady doesn't seem afraid of her power. ]
You've got a countermeasure, I'm sure.
