"Be sure to remember everything as best you can, things that may have been different today, anything of note leading up to, throughout, and after." Melanie wasn't going to let it go that easily. Okay was good, okay meant that so far there were no side effects to using power that was apparently in reserve, but there was no harm in observing everything, committing it to memory so it could potentially be replicated again. And also potentially give warning as well. Warning would be good. But she understood -- she'd been doing this for far too long to assume that anything was that easy.

Okay was good though. Syd could be exhausted now, could be feeling adverse side effects. Oliver had told her that somehow David had retained his power and nothing had gone too disastrous because of it. Melanie's own passing out had meant little breaking of things as well with Rudy's power -- not on the level of David's, but considerable nonetheless. And terrifying. Certainly terrifying.

"I'm dealing," the words started, everything around shaking a little before Rudy's eyes closed and Melanie took another deep breath. "I just need to keep calm." Nodding a little, eyes opening again, she managed a small smile. "To say I had no idea is an understatement. Unexpected as it is, I do appreciate the experience." David couldn't help but smirk a little at that, offering a quick quip of: "Welcome to the 'holy shit, I can move stuff with my mind' club. Good thing your mind knew to shut itself down rather than keep panicking and wreck the place."

Melanie managed a dry smile. "I'll have you know that is the only time in my life I have ever fainted." Oliver nodded, motioning to Melanie as he did so. "I can vouch for that. At least since I've known her, and we've known each other since we were sixteen. It was an overcast day when we met, first full day in America, I saw her out behind her school with a couple of her girlfriends, stole her away and had her cutting the rest of her classes." The memory was clear as crystal in that moment, making him grin as he recollected the moment. Melanie, for her part, rolled her eyes and shook her head. "You always were a bad influence."

David's smirk grew into a smile, easily able to picture Oliver playing that role and Melanie being the rebel girl smoking with her friends where the teachers couldn't see. It seemed the both of them were getting some benefit from the switch, which was nice. Melanie's perspective, Oliver's memory. "We're doing some rounds to check in on everyone until we switch back. We'll leave the two of you to your memory lane." Because it was adorable, and a little weird, but mostly adorable.
