can_has_vodka[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!

Hey, that was quick. Please, come in.
[She steps back to allow entrance, then stops.]
GAH! Wait, sorry, you're not allergic to dogs, right?

Date: 2011-09-12 10:36 pm (UTC)My Whitechapel flat doesn't have all things, but the kitchen works all right for tea. [The teapot she has brought looks a little chipped and scratched, but is clean and a pretty dark blue porcelain.] Here we are!

Date: 2011-09-13 11:49 am (UTC)That one's Chester and the lab is Izzy. They don't bite friendly people. [Small chuckle.] You can sit where ever you like.
[There was a chair at her vanity table, another at her desk, and of course, the bed.]
You keep saying Whitechapel...can I ask what that is?
(( If you really want to see what her room looks like I uploaded images here (http://some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com/10720.html). ^_^ ))

Date: 2011-09-13 05:07 pm (UTC)"The other Freakangels and I take care of the people there."
Spam - assuming she didn't bring tea cups? If wrong, can edit. ^_^
Date: 2011-09-13 07:36 pm (UTC)And the Freakangels...who are you guys? Are you actually angels?
[Last angel Claire had seen was Gabriel.]

Date: 2011-09-13 09:41 pm (UTC)Nobody truly knows what we are. We were all twelve born at the same time in a little village in the South of England. Our mothers at least were human. But everyone with the Freakangels Package looks a little odd: purple eyes, pale skin. And, of course, we all have powers.
This is my first time apart from them. It gets a bit lonesome.
[She offers a cup of tea.]
Spam - p.s. what does this tea taste like as I am not sure I've had pineapple mint, >.<
Date: 2011-09-13 10:37 pm (UTC)Sorry, it's just, I can relate to the whole having powers and not knowing who or what you are. There was a time when I even questioned if I was human or not.
[Though, she was pretty certain she was. Claire took the offered tea and blew on it to aide the cooling process.]

Date: 2011-09-14 01:39 am (UTC)"You're a person, Claire. That's all that matters. My mum was human which means I'm tied to humans as well as the FreakAngels. All of us are tied together. I could show you an example but it's a little trippy." She poured her own tea and then went back to pettingses.
"I am the psychonaut of our group. I learn the powers and unpack the Package and lead the way for the others to learn new powers. I also teleport. Which means I can get people to the Infirmary very fast!"
A curious blink. "You have a Package too?"

Date: 2011-09-14 08:13 pm (UTC)[Which was comforting since he oft times seemed able to judge the people she allowed in her room.
She listened to Arkady explain with a look that crossed between confusion and interest. At the question asked, she nodded, assuming that Package meant ability.] Yeah, I can heal. Rapid cellular regeneration. It...comes in handy, [she laughed.] I knew someone who could teleport. He could travel back in time too with it...can you do that?
Spam
Date: 2011-09-14 08:24 pm (UTC)[Blink blink] Oh. Oh, that's lovely! It must be uncomfortable at times, but lovely.
[She sips her tea and thinks on it, brow wrinkling slightly.] I can see some bits of the future, but I cannot go forward or back yet. Perhaps some day! But not now. Your friend has opened his Package a bit more than I have opened mine.

Date: 2011-09-14 08:40 pm (UTC)Wait, you can talk to animals?
[Now she's really intrigued.]

Date: 2011-09-14 11:38 pm (UTC)So I can tell you what sort of treat your doggies want, but not what their opinions on politics are.

Date: 2011-09-15 08:14 pm (UTC)I mean, basic or not, it's still pretty amazing. Can you tell me what he wants now? [Adds:] Please. I don't mean to put you on the spot, you can turn me down, you know.
Spam
Date: 2011-09-15 10:17 pm (UTC)He's curious about me, and the leafwater because it's a new smell. He is very hopeful on the prospect of the treats from the crackly bag. I'm not hitting the right spot behind his ears--ah, there, fixed. He'll need a widdle in about half an hour.

Date: 2011-09-15 10:59 pm (UTC)When the girl was through, Claire sat there in awe, grinning wildly.]
Seriously, that's so awesome. Do you want to give him a treat?

Date: 2011-09-16 02:46 pm (UTC)She handed it to Arkady as Izzy barked his eager approval twice.
They can do some tricks if you want to try.

Date: 2011-09-16 07:45 pm (UTC)[She crouches down before them.] Do you feel like showing off for me?
Spam
Date: 2011-09-16 10:27 pm (UTC)They can sit, speak, roll over, and leave the treat. Chester can play dead and do a little circle dance. Izzy can only stand on his hind legs and paw the air. [Chuckles.]

Date: 2011-09-18 12:19 am (UTC)Claire still watched, amused by her mannerisms. If one thing could be said about the girl, it would be that she was cute. Chipper. A breath of fresh air for the Barge (okay, so that was three things).]
Spam
Date: 2011-09-18 02:41 am (UTC)I'm sure there will be bad times as well as good here, but...I'm from a tough breed. We weathered the end of the world, after all....
Spam
Date: 2011-09-18 07:30 pm (UTC)[Claire smiled. Though she didn't yet say it, she could relate to end of the world situations, sadly.]
Can I be forward and ask you something?
