[Lydia is perfectly dressed, perfectly coiffed, and her smile is dazzling.]

Hi, everyone.

My name's Lydia Martin, and I'm a banshee.

[She lets that sink in for a moment.]

So here's the thing. This city? Is full of crazy stuff that no one ever suspected was even possible. I mean, if we can cope with guys who run at superhuman speeds and people from other planets, I don't exactly see the value in hiding, especially when you're dealing the scientific improbabilities of transdimensional pocket universes that exist outside the forward movement of time and there isn't even a wardrobe to explain it.

So my thought is? Let your freak flag fly. Who's going to persecute you here? Who's going to tell you that you're impossible, and shouldn't exist? Not me. And maybe there's other people just like you here, or maybe kind of the same, or just a -leetle- different since the rules from their universe don't apply. Wouldn't you want to meet them? Wouldn't you want to know more?

You're in the one place where you don't have to hide. Unless you're like...an axe murderer or something. But if you still feel safer keeping things on the DL, tell you what. If you're interested in reaching out to like minded Cityzens but want to do so discreetly, contact me privately, and I'll keep an eye out for those with similar origins.

You know what they say. Live together, die alone.

[She laughs, delighted and she's almost purring.]

Pavel Chekov, are you science-flirting with me?

[More seriously,]
There are a lot of stories and they vary. But in most they're a woman, or a female spirit, whose screams are harbingers of death.

[candothat]

What? No! Not intentionally. Would you like me to be?

[He doesn't like the sound of this harbinger of death thing.]

Do you scream often?

[lefthandedgenius]

Well, very smart men are something of a turn on. Very smart men who have sexy accents just up the ante.

[Behave, Lyds! Mercifully, she changes topics.]

Actually how it works for me is kind of different.

[candothat]

[He just. Maybe that first part shouldn't be addressed.]

Then no one dies when you scream?

[NOT HERE]

[hischair]

[ Torn between going cross-eyed at the science-speak and rooting for Chekov with the hot chick. ]

[NOT HERE EITHER]

[candothat]

[omg Kirk can u not]

[lefthandedgenius]

[She notices you dropped the subject Chekov; it makes her grin.]

No, it actually works very differently for me.

[candothat]

[There's only so much sexy science talk a guy can take.]

May I ask how it works?

[lefthandedgenius]

You may, but if you want to talk detail I'd rather not do it over the network.

[candothat]

Then over dinner, maybe? If you would like. If this is a sensitive subject, there is no need to talk about it at all.

[But come on, not many people have an opportunity to talk about banshees with a banshee.]

[lefthandedgenius]

Dinner sounds great. We're actually due for one anyway...so when would you like this to happen?

[candothat]

In the evening? Maybe six? Or whenever it is that you are available.

[lefthandedgenius]

I think there are few parties and the like upcoming, but once the calendar's clear, this is going to happen.

[candothat]

My schedule is flexible. Only tell me when you are free.
