Can Thomas talk/send images/send notions into your character's mind? Yep. Can Thomas poke around in your character's head? Yep. To what extent is it cool for Thomas to explore you dude's brainpan? The whole darn thing, all of it. What kind of stuff would be cool to Thomas to dig up, if he spends more time snooping in your character's head? Simon is a right mess because he has a somewhat fragmented self. He has some relatively mundane surface thoughts (too mundane for his own tastes, actually), likes to be put-together and well-mannered, friendly, more or less cool under pressure. But he also has a lot of internalized negativity, namely fear and resentment and anger that run very very deep into a part of him that is partially still locked away but on the verge of bursting out. See, that part of him was an angry, possessive, abusive douchenozzle obsessed with his then-girlfriend, his hypnotherapist. And because his abuse was escalating to the point he'd almost killed her, she sealed his abusive super-douche self away by using sustained post-hypnotic suggestion—she made him forget her and forget their relationship, and then programmed him straight back into his gambling addiction (which was the reason he was her client in the first place) and into stealing for her a painting. So he doesn't know any of it, even though he'd recently met her again before being imPorted, and he doesn't know why he hid the painting instead of delivering it to the person who'd cleared all his gambling debt. But since meeting the ex-who-he-doesn't-know-was-his-ex, he's become obsessed with her (again), and there's also a part of him that knows something about her is off. It's a part of Simon that tries to protect him from falling into the same trap. Ok, so that was pretty long, but it's the summarized version of what Thomas could find in Simon's head. What stuff do you NOT want Thomas digging up in your character's head? Nah, pretty much all that is up for grabs or I'd never have bothered writing it all out. Do you want to do any kind of bleed over stuff while Thomas still sucks at using this power? Oh, hell yeah. That sounds like a lot of fun. Contact?artillerate, or a PM might do. Anything else? As it turns out, one of Simon's powers is Extreme Suggestibility—to summarize, he's susceptible to telepathic/psychic/hypnotic/etc suggestions and commands, or basically any type of persuasion or mind control type powers. (More details on that on my powers & permissions post.) So I think it would be greatly horrible (or horribly great) for our characters to mess around.
I just saw this post linked on your log that I'm thinking of popping into.
