*well. he's had to face this fact, whether he wanted to or not.
SAI folks, this dark brooding guy has shown up at your building. He probably at least made an appointment before coming, and he's waiting now before he can be let in to talk about Psychic Limiters.
He'd really rather not be here, so maybe someone can talk to him and calm his nerves a bit.*

What details do you need to know?
no subject
Mostly I'd just like to discuss what lead you to come here and allow you to ask any questions you may have.
You said you didn't have a reason to come here until recently?
no subject
That's correct.
I've been a Psychic Duelist my whole life, manifesting since I first experienced the hologram style of dueling, years ago. However, once I realized what was happening, I took steps to have control over it. I managed well enough, even with my confusion as to why. As a result, even when Limiters became possible, I didn't feel a need to obtain one.
However... I have reason to believe that my abilities have gotten strong enough to the point where I don't need to duel, to start affecting things.
no subject
I see. So your ability have taken an unusual spike in strength recently.
Is there anything you feel contributed to it, or was it just something that seemed to happen on it's own.
no subject
Well, I was part of a troublesome incident, well over a year ago, now.
no subject
An incident...?
*Juudai notices the increase in his anxiety as this is brought up.*
If this is something you wish not to talk about, it's fine. Though the more we know, the more we can hopefully help.
no subject
Do you recall hearing about an event that took place in November of 2016, where a researcher had gone berserk?
no subject
*Juudai nods.*
Yes, I remember that.
no subject
I was that researcher.
no subject
Ah, right.
So there's a good chance your experience with that may of somehow amplified your ability to be stronger than it was originally.
I agree getting a limiter is a good move, especially if it's effecting things even outside of dueling.
Is there anything you'd like to ask about limiters and the process of getting one?
no subject
Yes. The experience itself... left an effect upon me, even if I don't recall it personally. Since then, I hadn't dueled again until very recently, but there's been signs of it interfering with my current work.
As for limiters themselves... There's no known side-effects of using one, correct?
(1/2)
There's no side effects at all. They simply aide in reducing the effects of and controlling psychic abilities when it's needed.

Hm! I've had mine for a while now and it's never done anything bad, though I don't need to wear mine all the time. I've been training here to control the ability myself! I only wear the limiter if I really feel I need to. Usually if I'm dueling someone younger than me, or someone who might be a bit fragile... so I don't accidentally hurt them.
*She takes what looks to be a bracelet out of her pocket and holds it out to him so he can have a look at it.*
They can also make them into all sorts of things so they're really discreet!
no subject
It's something I had to wonder about, at least. I'm not certain still what causes Psychic abilities like this to manifest. It's something I was researching, but the best I could assume was either hereditary factors, or outside influences.
So, I don't know what dampeners like the Limiters have as an effect upon that...
no subject
Yes, there's still a lot not known about the actual cause of psychic abilities, and although I've never known any side effects being caused by the Limiters, we do take into account that it does suppress the power, so I'd recommend at least having some time without wearing it now and then, possibly when you're at home or in a place where, if the ability was to act up, it wouldn't do any harm.
For Tomoko here, her powers showed signs of developing when she was quite young, but we didn't get her a limiter until the ability started to manifest more strongly a few years ago, just so we didn't risk anything like accidentally stunting her abilities as they were developing.
no subject
What's involved in the tests for getting a Limiter?
no subject
You'll basically be tested on things such as your abilities reactions under certain situations, like those that create strong emotions or stress and also there is a dueling test. During these your ability will be monitored for the strength and then they'll be able to create a limiter specifically for you.
They also like to re-test once a year at the least, just to make sure there aren't any changes to how strong the psychic ability is and if there is, they can make adjustments to the limiter as needed.
no subject
... Have there ever been cases where an ability might be too strong to be limited, however?
no subject
Well, usually, for most clients, the limiters work fine and there is never any problem. A staff member of mine has mentioned a client of hers is a bit of an oddity with limiters not working, but I think that's more of an individual case.
All we can do is get you fitted with a limiter, see if it works and if you do experience any issues, you're free to come back and we'll re-look at everything.

It's okay, Mr. Yamada.
I know things like this are scary, but everyone here will help and support you no matter what happens. You can trust everyone here and even talk to them if you have any worries.
If you want, I can walk with you up to where they do the testing, so you don't have to go on your own.
*She gives him a reassuring warm smile. Even though his nervousness is obvious, it seems she's latching onto it much more strongly than Juudai is.*
no subject
Ah... it's fine, you don't need to worry about me. I can head for the facility myself.
(1/2)
Good luck, Mr. Yamada!
(2/2)
Okay, I've let them know you'll be going up to them.
If you have any concerns at any point in the future, feel free to let them or myself know.
