> > It would be an interesting situation for Anna, who has really got a strong scientific backgroundand is a child of science to face something that is so alien to her nature and understanding.
> True, and Yuki has started training her to be more creative when she's in danger, which makes her both more useful and more dangerous in a situation like that.
> The only major problem Anna has right now is she hasn't really learned to consider collateral damage. That's something which comes from doing the hero thing a lot for a long time. Ironically, that's also why Lara Night is more surgical and careful about collateral damage than Yuki - she's been doing this longer and has more bitter experience.

> > > And historically, if someone tried possessing her, or taking control of her to hurt someone, she goes into auto-shutdown and faints. That's what happened last time someone tried possessing her. It's not an automatic response though - she does that consciously to prevent harming someone while out of control.
> > I think possession in the poltergeist sense would more likely be some kind of over-riding of muscular control systems rather than the mind that usually commands them - like someone physically bending your arms against your will.
> She's well-equipped to resist, at least, and since she's terrified of hurting someone she likes by accident she will resist as much as she's able, including shutting down if necessary.

If she shuts down wouldn't that leave a possessing force in uncontested control?
> > > > Vinnie's used to being "in trouble" from the womenfolk of his life, especially his mother, sisters, and ex-fiancee. What disconcerts him about Liu Xi and his other new female friends is a tendency they have to actually care about him and try to scold him for benevolent reasons not to control him.
> > > Liu Xi also tends to mean exactly what she says, and doesn't manipulate him.
> > I imagine that would be refreshing.
> And maybe confusing for Vinnie too. Maybe that's why he gets in trouble so much, because he doesn't expect Liu Xi to care unless it directly affects her.

He just wants to prove he can make it on his own.
