I was re-reading AB and I was wondering if you could tell us more about Jackie's seer powers?
LMAO, sure. The more I think about AB and all it was, I become more convinced it’s a big mess I have to re-write soon.
She has dreams where she can see parts of what may happen if things follow certain path. Since things are constantly changing with people’s desicions every day, she may get only glimpsets of what is to come, or full on display of a thing that will happen soon.
It’s dangerous to change things, so Midge always reminded her of this and made sure Jackie would understand the kind of power she has in her hands. This adds to her desicion of never do anything to stop the things that are to come, unless it’s too bad or dangerous. This had made her sacrifice plenty of things in order to not make a disaster, like allowing Randy to find out in time about them. It was his desicion to make to accept them or not, he chose the later.
The passt my come to her, mostly not for hers but for people around her that will soon enter into a phase of change and that glimpset of passt she has gotten has something to do with it. When she was younger, it make things difficult for her to separate from passt, present a future.
If consentrated enough, she can see the present and even feel what the person is going through. This makes her weak and she has to lay down for a while after doing it, which is why Donna is always behind her reminded her to NOT do this.
Since the visions aren’t clear, she has learned to interpretate her dreams and makes tarot lectures to find out more explanations on the visions or what is to come. She is pretty good at this.
Her dream books are various, Donna usually reads them for entertaiment. Hyde starts taking them, too, secretly to understand better when the dreams come to her, since sometimes they make her distant and distracted.
A part of her considers the visions a curse, since they don’t often let her sleep let alone live at peace. Yet, Midge and Bob made a good job at making her see that her power is hers and she can control it, and as long as she accepts that part of her, she can love it, too.
Hyde thinks it’s pretty cool, what she can do, and it makes her blush every time.
She has never learned how to use the crystal balls for visions, but she is constantly trying. Eric thinks it’s super funny because it’s a very cartoonish image.
Visons are constantly not of her but the people around her, people she loves. When they are about her, it scares her even more.
She is in a bad mood after a vision, always.
