My apologies for stealing it, then. But, as the question has already been asked: care to elaborate?

Curiosity: piqued.
Really? I'd imagine that such an experience would be quite memorable.
Well, more like I
know
, rather than imagine.

By genetics. I can manipulate and control electricity.

... My, that's a new one.
To what degree are you able to manipulate it?

He seems even more surprised at this, if fascinated as well.
That's rather beautiful. I must admit I still have a slight fear of electricity, but it's nothing I can really help.

Most people are afraid of lightning, actually.
I take it you had a bad experience?

It's a pleasure to meet you, too, Miss Bishop.
If you don't mind my asking, are such powers a common phenomenon in your world?

In my world? I'm not an alien or anything, Mr. Mayfair. I'm just a human who happens to have evolved just slightly more than normal. And...actually...they're getting more and more common. Powers, I mean.

All along the same lines, or with variations?

s'Fine. Kind of a common misconception, really.
There's a few people who can do the same things, but there's countless different abilities out there.

Considering that I died by it, yes.
It's a singularly odd sensation.
For the few moments you're able to experience it, anyhow.

Well, I am currently what I believe is commonly called a ghost.
You have heard stories of the like, haven't you?

More on the positive side of the scale, or the negative?

Much, much more on the positive side.
