I feel like there is something vaguely familiar about your kin, though I couldn't tell you what. As you describe it, ah yes a gateway

I have no clue why that seems to fit, but gateways usually don't seem to repel or attract. That's the thing that is being translated in my head, though don't know why.
I'm a non-scanner. I couldn't tell a kin from a nonkin. All people either register as human, by my mixed feelings towards them or whichever type of animal draws me. Dogs I feel like a giddy excitement at getting near them and cats, I just end up chilling with.
I don't think I'd mind being scanned, if anyone could actually scan me. I rarely feel anything magickal done to me unless by stones, gems, or if I'm really connected to them.
What does one do when one scans anyway? I've heard of it, but never actually thought to ask for a definition. heh
I always believe one should hold their judgement until they get to know someone, whether they're true or not. of course not being able to tell by sense, it seems best policy. Though at times around kin, I just feel a calmness as if I've known them forever. Well most kin, some I just don't like without reason or explanation.
Anyway, I'm usually uber dead in mornings, though my brain works well enough. I can usually answer any coherent question while mostly passed out. Teehee. Now if I had motivation to be up early, then I don't mind. Such as the Ren Faire.
*Tailwags* Yay, you likes kitties. I'm a very happy one to hear that ^_^ Though not really a housepet type.
Although I'm rarely seen on with the others cause of time difference and work hours, it would be fun to have you join our kin guild on wow.
