Terry? I... Is that really you?

Yeah, it's me, but...I'm sorry, I don't recognize you. Have we met?...

I... wow. I'm... really sorry. You just... you look just like her. Like the Terry I know, but I don't think you're her.

Her name's Theresa Rourke.

*small smile*

Yeah, sorry...Riordan's my last name. I'm from Los Angeles...used to work for the LAPD, Crime Scene Unit.

Is your friend Theresa local to Los Angeles? Maybe I've met her...or something.

No. Ireland, actually. You'd know if you'd met her. She's got a... pretty big voice on her.

*laughs*

Clearly you've never heard me when I'm pissed. But I have a few tricks of my own...I'm a Paranormal. Freak among freaks, my co-workers used to call me.

*smirk* She's not your typical Irish gal herself. She's a mutant.

Mutant? Oh...kay...

I'm sorry, that's just a really outdated term for me. Like, 1970's outdated. Three years ago, it was still pretty offensive, but maybe that's changed. The supernaturally gifted generally call themselves Paranormals.

Maybe that's just Irish slang or something...I have a little Irish in me, but Dad was Scottish, Mom was French and Russian. *grins*

So your friend, Terry Roarke...what's her gift?

Ah... I think she's a little different than you. We both are.

She can produce sonic waves with her vocal chords. They're powerful enough to knock down a building.

Hmm.

*shrugs*

I'm electrokinetic and empathic. I shorted out an entire city block's power grid when I was thirteen.

Don't get me wrong, I can control it now...but yeah. I can totally dig it.

I'd say about ... three years.

*eyeroll* *smirk*

That'd be really obnoxious if you didn't have the cute older guy thing going on...y'know, like Victor Garber with scruff.

I don't have his ears.

*laughs*

No, but you're sexy with a little grey, like he is. Only cooler, to be sure.

I always suspected that I was made of awesome.

It's either awesome or win...hard to say, they both lend that indefinable allure.

There's no need to be sarcastic.

Aww, but I thought you'd appreciate it. *smirk* You look to be a connoisseur of sarcarm.

If it's coming from me, sure.

Ahhh...sarcasm double standard. Gotta love it.

Didja see my sarcasm there? *smirk*

C'mooon...share the witty-barbed love, dude. You know you wanna.

Resurrection seems to be in these days.

OOC: Siryn and Domino ftw

*snorts* Something like that, yeah. But mine? Seriously sinister shit, man.
