experience share

Experience Share allows Maudie to transmit information, experiences, thoughts, and feelings telepathically to someone, and understand it in the way Maudie intends it to be understood.

If Maudie can imagine it, they can seamlessly give someone that thought and the other person will understand and experience it in the same way, as if they were reading Maudie's mind. For example, if they share a memory with someone of the time that they saw a beautiful painting, the person receiving the memory will experience the same emotions and understanding of that particular moment that Maudie feels about that memory.

The quirk works best with no outside distractions and at a close distance. At long distances and with distractions present, the information they share will be fuzzy, difficult to decipher, and takes a lot more concentration to get to them. If the information that Maudie wants to transmit to someone is something that Maudie has never experienced, the other person will only understand what Maudie thinks the experience would be like rather than experiencing the real, authentic thing. For example, if Maudie wanted to telepathically share a place they've never visited, the experience of seeing that place won't be 100% accurate to what the real place looks like, and instead will instead the person experiencing it will see it from how Maudie remembers it or how Maudie thinks it might be like. Even though sending a less specific experience, or one that Maudie has not personally experienced can lead to the other person experiencing an inauthentic version of the memory or feeling, if Maudie sends an experience vague enough, it doesn't really matter if the information itself is authentic because it's too vague to matter. For example, someone may experience a more vivid image if Maudie just sends a memory of a generic field, rather than an old fuzzy memory of a specific field.

To activate Experience Share, Maudie simply has to concentrate on what information they want to send, and who they want to send it to, and the effects of the quirk last for three seconds, however they can lengthen the time that the Quirk is active by continuing their concentration. Maudie can only use their quirk to affect another person's mind, and not any actions related to it. For example, they can make someone think about them simply by wanting that person to think about them, but their Quirk won't work if Maudie wanted that person to think about them every time said person was thinking about someone else.

Experience Share can't transfer physical sensation or reaction, but it can cause, intensify, or dull it. For example, if Maudie sends someone a sad memory, they might start crying, but Maudie can't make someone start crying on a purely physical level because there wouldn't be a mental or emotional component to that experience. Likewise, sending calming and relaxing feelings to someone may dull the pain of an injury, but this is only because their mind isn't focusing on it, not because the physical pain has gone away. Similarly, sending a happy experience or emotion to someone who is already happy will intensify the feeling.

If Maudie thinks about someone enough over a short period of time, that person will get a small jolt, similarly to suddenly paying attention if someone calls your name. How much Maudie has to think about that person in order to grab their attention depends on how far they are from Maudie, and if they're paying attention to something else.

Experience Share also works through dreams. If they're dreaming about someone, there is a chance that they'll get the jolt mentioned above, or even have the same dream as Maudie in some cases. Like other aspects of the quirk, its intensity depends on distance and distractions.

Maudie believes that touching someone might make a shared experience more intense, but they can't confirm for certain if this is true. This may just be an effect of the distance factor though.

strengths

• COMMUNICATION | Because Experience share allows anyone to understand Maudie's point of view, intentions, and emotions, it's a great communicative and imaginative tool
• MEMORY | Maudie has a great memory, though it's unknown if this is due to their Quirk itself, the result strengthening their memory due to their Quirk usage, or simply unrelated altogether

weaknesses

• FATIQUE | If Maudie overuses their Quirk over an extended period of time, they'll get more easily exhausted and get migraines. Usually this only happens if Maudie is constantly using the quirk all day
• FUZZINESS | The experiences that Maudie shares are, under most circumstances indistinguishable from any regular thought. This means that the memory could be crystal clear, or fuzzy depending on distance, concentration, and how well Maudie remembers and imagines what they're trying to send. The receiver can also notice natural flaws and fuzziness if they are aware that the memory they're experiencing is not their own. This most often manifests itself in the receiver noticing that most of the time, the people in Maudie's memories have blurry or no faces, because Maudie is faceblind
• RANGE | The range of Experience share varies, but it typically only works within earshot of the receiving person. Maudie can also only send something to one person at a time. Maudie also can't receive someone's memories in return
• DIFFICULTY TO CONTROL | Because the Quirk is controlled by Maudie's thoughts, it's possible for Maudie to accidentally share information with someone, simply by thinking about them. Fortunately, because activating the Quirk requires concentration, it's unlikely that they'll fire off a passing thought on accident

skills

• INFORMATION SHARING | Not only does Experience Share make it easy for people to be on the same page as Maudie, but because the Quirk is telepathic, they can easily send information much faster than physically saying, typing, or writing it
• MANIPULATION | Because the Quirk allows people to experience Maudie's memories as if it were their own, it can easily confuse someone into thinking that Maudie's thoughts and memories are their own, which could work as way to easily mentally manipulate someone if the Quirk is used with the wrong intentions, or even without proper clarification. In extreme cases, Maudie could even get someone addicted to their Quirk by messing with their dopamine levels. Maudie is extremely aware that they can do this, and tries to avoid it at all costs.
