A Curious Confluence of Twins

[iamnotpolaris]

It was shortly after she had finished classes for the day that the constant low-key hum of her sister's mind in the back of Emily's head brightened. 'Hey Emily, (guess who's new/did you know we're getting new students today/there's something noteworthy about them/I am prodding you to guess even though we both know I'll tell you anyway)'
'Mm? (vague curiosity/not terribly interested in playing guessing games/I'm sure I'll be more interested when you tell me)' Emily returned
'(Picture: two faces, one male, one female/female face, name attached: Arya/male face, name attached: Ezra/twins/Ezra=telepath/Arya=flight(+danger sense)/juxtaposition: Arya in flight+Edie floating on bands of metal/juxtaposition: Ezra+Edie telepathing)
'...You were right. That is interesting,' Emily noted. '(Query: location/location 1 Edie/location 2 relevant not-us twins/location 1=location 2?)'
'We're (me/othertwins/all three of us) in the library (picture: open library window) I thought maybe you could give Arya the air tour?'
'Alright, I'll be right over,' Emily sent, changing course towards the library.

"Wow," she murmured. "That's so strange...I don't think I could suppress my power like that if I tried."
She sends back an impression of how she perceives the world when she's got her telepathy turned down as low as it goes.
Hundreds of (bright/distinct/THERE) (lights/minds/THIS IS A PERSON) roiling with indistinct emotion, each perfectly distinct from every other. Some are (brighter/louder/MORE) than others, whether because the mind is more active, familiar or just inherently bolder.
"It's a completely different experience," she says. "Your power is clearly getting stronger fast, if you were like that not so long ago. I wonder how you'll end up."

Ezra blinks.
"I haven't experimenting much with how different minds feel. Your telepathy is overwhelming to have since ever, but I guess you are used to..." he pauses "I don't think mine is getting stronger, it just feels like it was under control... is there a way to know? I don't want to get stronger if it means lack of control."

[whatamithinking]

"Like it was under control? Control of one's powers is a function of time, practice, and how cooperative they are. If your telepathy got much stronger it would probably be harder to control for a while, but you'd catch up to it, and if you were really worried in the interim we could make sure to keep you from hurting anyone."

Ezra relaxes a bit.

"Thanks for telling me that," Ezra says "so... do you mind showing me around? This place is amazing enough that even the ground tour should be worth all the walking."

"Well, you can't see the entire campus as well, but most of the actually important places are indoors." She grinned. "Want to see the Danger Room?"

[superego_medico]

"Sure. What kind of danger is in the Danger Room?"

[whatamithinking]

"The holographic kind! It's awesome."

[superego_medico]

"That I got to see."

Presumably, Ezra will follow Edie to the Danger Room
