[Have a spritely young bald woman in filmy clothes, perching on a scratched wooden desk and beaming at you. Her eyes are bright, bright purple and almost seem to glow slightly, and she is very pale.]

Hullo everybody! I'm Arkady, and I'm from the Island of Whitechapel. Of course, for most of you Whitechapel isn't an island, but we had a little problem with the Thames getting loose from its banks, and ever since then things have been a bit wet in London. Whitechapel has about twice as many people as this place, and we just took on a hundred more. We'll make do, though. We just need to pull together. [It's not clear whether she's speaking of Whitechapel or the Barge. Both maybe?]

I'm to be a Warden here, and if there's a need for help anywhere, do let me know! [She pauses, blinks at the screen, and then leeeeans forward and peers into it as if she can see some of you on the other side. A giggle; the purple eyes blink and she pulls back again.]

I'll be up on Deck in the gardens if anyone wants to say hello! Yay flowers!

[A few seconds later she literally appears a few feet from the Colour Garden, which she immediately crouches down to inspect.] Hello flowers!

[No idea what any of that means except maybe psychic.] You like talking to ghosts?

That is actually something I haven't tried. Mostly I talk to minds, and to the future.

[The only response you get is a look like "tell me more because I really don't know what you're trying to tell me now."]

You know those people who read tarot cards? I do that. Without the cards. And some other things too.

[There's something to those people. Not all of them - most of them are fakes, Lua even knew a woman for a while who did it but didn't believe a damn word - but the ones who don't make a big show out of it, they might be seeing something you can't normally.]

Yeah? You just look at people and know?

Sometimes it helps to talk to them, or go off and try for a vision. But yes, I could do it. If you want?

[... why not, really. It'll make her happy and she doesn't stand to lose anything if she's real. She shrugs as if to say "go ahead".] What are you going to look for?

It is easiest if you give me a question to focus on. Or a person.

...all right... Why am I here? [It's a test.]

[She plops down into Lotus position and closes her eyes. Very slowly a faint purple radiance starts to trickle from her skin, like a halo. It is a minute or two before she starts to speak.]

There's a train...two bottles of something...blood. Many people died. Big man, big hands that could cover your whole face, light hair. Boyish somehow...

Red-haired woman. Beautiful, starey eyes like a cat's. She's trying to explain something to you but you're taking it too hard...like you'd have to change too much...like you wouldn't be yourself....

[The girl's real even before she starts talking. You can't get light to work like that. There are enough details too specific to be "a man with an S" that Lua knows she's seeing something. The only thing she lets through, though, is a little tension.]

So you're the real thing.

I am, but don't worry! I also care. I won't tell people what I see and I won't judge you on it. We have rules we live by, we Freakangels.

Perhaps you should ask after future things instead. They're fairly useful.

[It's better not to know the future, because you can't change it and you find out what it is quickly enough.] Can you tell me something else? About that man you saw? [She needs to know this.]

The big bloke?

[She closes her eyes again. Then peeks.]

He's alive...he's okay...he's...bored. Really, really bored. Cooling his heels. But not forever. And besides, this is someone who knows how to take care of himself. Himself and some kid. Or at least he thinks of that person as a kid.

He's all right. He's going to be all right no matter what happens, so you just focus on taking care of you. Okay?

[This is so good. Such a relief. She hadn't known what would happen to him, what he would do after he'd followed her off.

oh no she's going to start crying and she can't right now. ]

Oh luv. It'll be all right! That one's tough. Don't you worry about him, worry about being strong for yourself. And maybe some others here. I can't see that part yet, it's not set.

O'course you will. You're stronger than you credit yourself. And you're already making friends. I'll be about if you need someone. Just call my name very loud or think very very hard of me.

[...she doubts she'll take the offer, but Lua does well with the kind of loud and weird that isn't trying to kill her at the moment.] That's... kind of you.
