Cailin followed, intrigued, and greeted all the retirees in turn, commenting with a
“That's handy,” when Janna orbed fresh cookies in. Which didn't make her forget to grab two. She was obviously surprised by the way most of them were dressed, but didn't seem particularly disturbed by it. Not even being called 'dude' fazed her and not just because she was perfectly secure in her feminity: she lived - or
had lived anyway - in California, so it was far from the weirdest thing she had seen…
She thanked Christopher as he left, then changed into a cute summer dress she liked, with no bra since she could certainly afford not to: she didn't know what was coming, but she decided she might as well get comfortable for it.
“So as you might know, I'm, well, the newest around. Freshly dead as of…” She frowned,
“Well, I don't know actually, I haven't checked.” It could have a day or two or a few years after all.
While she feigned nonchalance, it was obvious that she wasn't there yet. And as she had done before, she forged ahead to prevent herself from thinking about it.
“Anyway, I was told this was the 'deepest end of the pool'? I'm sure it'll become quite clear soon enough, but I do have a couple of questions before we get to that if you don't mind?”
She turned to Janna
“I don't suppose you made those cookies out of thin air right? It looked like you Orbed them in. Did they come from a oven you have or something? Or you 'borrowed' them from a place you know?” Being able to Orb things - and maybe even people - to her would be a particularly useful power. Probably.
“And,” she cocked her head to the side,
“I'm still counted as being in California as far as my powers go regarding my clients, even here. Since I doubt only Californians need Guardian Angels… Though who knows,” She had a bit of a wry tone there,
“I'm guessing that regarding my powers my position is fixed to the last place I was in before I Orbed here? Is there a way, to, uh, cheat?”
“And, uh, it's more than a couple, but regarding my Morphing ability, Christopher… Elder? Christopher?” she amended, not sure if she was suppose to use the honorific or not,
“mentioned something about different species. Does that mean I could Morph into one of the werewolves I saw?” they didn't seem all
that big to her after all, and while she was pretty light herself, surely there were some less than impressive specimens - weight side anyway - among the werewolf population, right?
“Or a panther or something?” Birds were out obviously - or at least
flying birds were - but… maybe she ought to go to a zoo at some point, give herself some options. Assuming she could indeed pick whatever she wanted as long as her weight matched. But maybe that was something she could work on?
She paused, then tilted her head to the side with a frown,
“Uh, one of my clients left my range. Damn portals. Is that 300 miles limit fixed, or something I could extend with work, experience and all that?”
