It can be redirected as long as it hasn't been too long stored then the first feeling she feels if too emotionally charged up consumes her being until it dissipates.<br/>This could be good or bad. If timed or directed, sending emotions to another could change a whole diabolical plan.<br/><br/>It's insidious in its depth, but effective in its use. She can bleed the emotion from say a crowd and calm everyone. Or she can absorb negativity and release it as needed.<br/><br/>She also has a keen sense of smell that is almost animalistic. It blends nicely with the emotion control mechanism/ability.<br/><br/>Work: She used to strive to be a chef extraordinaire, but due to her work as a witch and developing emotion skills just couldn't be in such a stressful field.  She now,  is a voluntary Librarian, where the scent of old books keeps her happy and there is less emotions to dissuade.<br/>__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/>Holly has listened to Melinda's comments about changing one's shape to change perspective. She decided to come out and tell her sisters that she quit her job at the Restaurant and is pursuing a more quiet career.<br/><br/>During the time she spent comforting Molly's parents, something inside her opened. She hated what the demon lord had done and wanted to do nothing more than remove their pain and suffering. Her silent prayer was answered by her sudden ability to read their emotions and absorb the negativity. Suddenly, they weren't so desperate, so lost or so bitter. She began to ease them into feelings of hope and soon they were even talking about creating another life within their family.<br/><br/>Unsure what to make of this, Holly went to the restaurant to grovel for forty five minutes to get her job back. Again all the emotions of the employees and the patrons invoked a strong need to improve the emotions of all those around her. From the prep cook to the head waiter, stress kept everyone uptight and even angry.<br/><br/><em>And I wanted to be a part of this for what? At least my sisters appreciate my talents.</em>No sooner than she got her job back she went back to the manager and quit. The look on his face was one of confusion and grief. "I realize you have given me several opportunities, but my life has just become too complicated to add the stress of a highly competitive work environment." Leaving the restaurant, she drove around the city for a while. "What am I going to do now?" Everywhere she drove she felt pain, anger, frustration and helplessness. Until she got to the public library. Here, all she felt was comfort. It was closed this time of night.<em>Maybe ...</em>She shook her head and headed back to the Manor.<br/><br/>She entered and saw James was still there.<em>He looks darling with his sleepy look and his hair just slightly tousled. </em>It was comforting seeing him here. He came up to her and together the joined her sisters for an update.<br/><br/>Standing this close to James seems to heighten her senses. She knows there is some sort of connection to him.<em>I wish I could see what Melinda saw</em>. "I think Melinda is on to something, asking the Elders about how to find the original weapon rather than us creating something new. But if we were to make a modern weapon of sort, what would it be? I mean, we can't find the first weapon? And good God, I can still smell that demon downstairs. Yuck. I know he's gone but his stench is..." She shook off the aggravation and sighed. The day had been long and she was just getting tired.<br/><br/>"OK, on a lighter note, I, uh, got my job back and then quit it. And I have new powers and my old ones seem to be leaving." She looked around and waited for response from her sisters.<br/><br/><br/>
