I almost got in touch with her!

So close! Sorry, I need to vent.

Since I left my home, and came here, to... well, here, I've been investigating this girl. I can't give out too much information in the here/now, but I finally found her hanging at a certain club on "Goth night" (One can never scratch too much information out of a simple photo!). As I was making my way to her, she APPARENTLY made use of her new found powers, and looked right at me as I was pushing my way through the crowd (For SOME reason, in that kind of audience, I stick out like a sore thumb... ) Well, she's APPARENTLY also better at crowd manipulation than I am, because she immediately started making her way in the opposite direction... at a faster rate than I was going. Didn't help that she's pretty small for her age, I lost her in no time flat. Damn it all, it's so frustrating... She doesn't realize how much she really needs help right about now... How do you approach someone that knows you're there... before you know they're there? Damn psychic powers... er, No offense, dear!

or use multiple psis to manipulate the crowd. It can be subtle but a thicken of the crowd in the direction she's going (generate a what's that sensation) and she'll be swimming in molasses. or have an ally doing overwatch generating a relaxed mellow party feel around you. much tougher to do the second, but between that and an "someone else's problem" shield, I've managed many good retrievals and recons.

You were there for buisness - everyone else was there for a good time - might as well shot off a flare.

Wouldn't there be a slight problem of if your chasing someone your having to chase them on their terms and homeground so not like they would go somewhere, where they won't be able to spot would be attackers that well.

Never had to deal with this of course so I'm just speaking my mind, a tired 2 in the morning mind, and trying to give it as logical a view as I can.

have you tried getting across the idea that you're not about to attack her or anything? she's probably seeing some odd guy, totally out of place, trying top chase her down, and getting freaked. maybe if she's not freaked out, she'll be more willing to deal with you.

James has a very valid point. Thou maybe I should ask why you are looking for her in the first place? And who else maybe looking for her?

Have you tried just ringing the building with people?

how yall are? tell me yer defnishun a strange woman an en i tell ya maan.

oh, i'm not getting into this!

shits skeery.

It can take a lot of mental discipline to not broadcast that, "businesslike mindset," all over the place. Try not staring at the person you are approaching and try to not think about them either. Not easy by any measure but something to consider. Hey, it's not as conspicuous as wearing a tin foil hat, besides those only work with aliens anyway.
