Noticing the strange little bird, Tali tilted her head, frowning as a sudden thought occurred to her. Could she read an animal's mind? Stretching out her mind to the bird, she was a bit surprised to feel a... wall or something. It blocked her completely. Stretching a little bit more, she pushed against the barrier, vaguely aware of the pounding headache that was beginning to form. It bent, and bent, and bent before it just snapped, shattering like a glass sheet.
Her victory was extremely short-lived, however, as a flood of thoughts barraged her. There had to be thousands, no, millions, of brains around her. And every single one of them was pounding into her mind. Crying out, she fell forward, completely lost in the flood. Absently, she noted that the bird wasn't actually a bird, and how she could suddenly feel the man's thoughts as if he were normal.
She had to force the gate closed. If not, she could literally become comatose. That had happened when her powers first bloomed, and it hopefully wouldn't happen again.
Lost in the flood of mental images as she was, Tali failed to feel all of the animals come closer to her. Butterflies, worms, bees, and other bugs began covering her body, while birds landed nearby in flocks. Heck, deer and other mammals were edging nearer as well.
Then her eyes closed, and her tense muscles went slack.
((Ooh. A twist! P: ))
