The Strange Power

Written by LJ Smith
Adapted by KimiLynn

Kaitlyn Fairchild has always felt like an outsider in her small hometown. Her haunting eyes and prophetic drawings have earned her a reputation as a witch. But Kait's not a witch: She's a psychic. Tired of being shunned and not being able to control her power Kait accepts an invitation, with promise of a hefty scholarship to any college she wishes, to attend the Zetes Institute, where she can have a fresh start. There she meets 4 other psychics and together they make up the most gifted in the country. As time goes by, though, she begins to suspect that the owner of the school has an ulterior motive. One of the experiments traps the five teens in a psychic link. A link that threatens their sanity and their lives. And Kaitlyn must decide whom to trust...and whom to love.

It’s a Gift-- and a Curse.

Written & mixed by KimiLynn.


NOTE: I realize there's a lot of narration, but it'll become less and less as the story progresses XD.

[Pokejedservo]

Not bad, I understand what you mean by that e-mail that it had a bit too much narration at the start and I can understand what you mean by that. But still its a nice little start as the mixing is just fine and I have no problem with the voice acting. Overall its a fairly above average little production here and it would be cool to see more in the near future. But as for this production this is a nice start.

[Andieluca]

Great job! *envious at the mixing skills* I actually thought the narration was kinda necessary because of the imageries you had to describe, but that's just me...only the beginning had a little too much. But other than that...nice job!
I absolutely loved the voice acting in here, especially Joyce. haha. Kissy-sensei sounded so pleasant...very Joyce-like, haha. Can't wait to see more!

[Mrwest16]

I always love the adaptions you do, Kimi. Great job. Endings like that make you NEED to hear the next part. XD

[Akumaryu]

This was very well-done. The last couple of minutes gave me chills and made my eyes water. That's talent. Very well-done indeed. Can't wait to hear the next part!

And good job to all of the voice actors. Very nice job. ^_^

[Kissy-Sensei]

i am so ENVIOUS of your mixing skills. i think you should be my mixer for Bloodline Masquerade since my mixing skills are CRAP compared to yours. -cries-
but this came out so well !! i don't self-critique but everyone else sounded wonderful. especially Kait. dragonknighttara was wonderful. her Kait was simply marvelous. and the narration was actually my favorite part. :] i love description and narration. it makes everything SO much better.
OMG this is so awesome. i can't wait for the next part ! ^^

[bikki]

Will SO give this a listen tonight n___n Expect something from me then!

KimiLynn as the Narrator
Excellent inflection, your carrying a lot of the story and you do it very well.

Dragonknighttara as Kaitlyn FairChild
You've got a lot of emotional switching and a LOT of exposition to do here. It's a difficult place to be acting from. You did masterfully well.

CMEziere as Chris Barnable & Extra
Difficult to judge, but you carry the pace of the scene. Your competent, but with a bit of effort you could be truly legionary.

Pokejedservo as Mr. Flynn. I need to hear more of you.

Kissy-Sensei as Joyce Piper
Very smooth alluring voice. Excellently executed.

Midnightillusion7 as Ms. McCasslan
Miicah as Polly Vertanen
MrWest16, KimiLynn, Toku as Extras

One small thing whilst the classical piano work is good. I think you could create more of a soundscape with this. Make it a lot more edgy. I don't want to decry the effort here. But it's ALMOST.

Yeah piano becomes fax, hmmmm. needs a bit of work. Environment as an actor? Yeah. not just a plt device.

The actors did very VERY well given material. The story and editing needs watching.
With a bit of extra work this could be Brooha ha!

[KimiLynn]

Thanks for all the comments you guys!!! Akumaryu, MrWest, Pokejed, I really appreciate it! It means a lot ^^. It's nice to hear that it turned out all right =)

@Kissy & Andie: I don't plan on cutting out the narration completely, there will still be plenty, I would just like to not have it in such lengths XD. Glad it didn't bother you at all!!

@ClymAngus: The whole fax thing, well, it was spose to be a moment of silence in the conversation, but it didn't really work out that well XD. And they just turned the music off at the same time..lol. I know what you mean about making it edgier, too, which it will be, this is just the intro and is much lighter in terms of material right now.

Again, the comments are much appreciated. I always want to know ways to improve.

The next part will be coming along soon and we'll meet a whole slew of new characters

i am so ENVIOUS of your mixing skills. i think you should be my mixer for Bloodline Masquerade since my mixing skills are CRAP compared to yours. -cries-

Hehe, Thank you =D. If I didn't have so many other things to do I'd totally take you up on that!! If you need any help, though, I'll gladly see what I can do Really, though, I had nooo idea how to mix when I first started Serendipity, had never even thought about doing it before, but you get the hang of it =)
