[ irene's not sitting in her room, she's sitting in someone else's. namely, the room that once belonged to her version of sherlock holmes. on her index finger are three gold rings that she fidgets idly with while she speaks. ]

I see our very own cautionary tale has graced us with an echo. For those newly arrived, I'd say pay attention to that, and note what happens if you don't get yourself into a pod before the jump time. It leaves in quite a mess, or so I'm told.

[ there's a clink of rings as she shakes them off, letting them fall onto the side table, edging them lightly into place with her fingertips. ]

Now, having that settled, I suppose I'd ask an introduction on the part of those newly arrived. All those newly arrived. In all the chaos of your arrival, it's only polite that we all introduce ourselves. We are to be living in rather close quarters for the foreseeable future, are we not?

Your mother had a similar talent?

[askedtobe]

She still does, as far as I know.

[jilt]

Did you inherit it from her, or was it a gift given to you both?

[askedtobe]

Inherited, I think. Seems like it, since my brother can do it too.

[ er. ] He's not a precog, though. Nathan can fly, i'm an empath-- we've all got abilities, they just manifested differently. [ yeah peter, keep talking like this is all incredibly obvious. ]

Just runs in the family, apparently.

[jilt]

Nathan's never let on. I can't imagine why not, when such talents seem to hold such value here.

[askedtobe]

He doesn't exactly think it's much of a talent.

[jilt]

What does he think it is then?
