When I once was Innocent

There is very little that is more confusing than when people from various points in time all converge...and then change the points in time they are from.

I do hope everyone has settled after all of that.

I hope you don't mind if I check in with you to see how you're doing?

[ private; Kylar ]

Any odd happenings as a result of losing your earring?

[ spam; Ned ]

[ There's hesitance in this, because what is the decorum when visiting the recently dead and now alive once more?

Tea, apparently. This is what Door decides, and thus this is what she brings as she enters the infirmary. ]

With any luck you like mint tea.

I hope everyone enjoyed all of their Christmas presents. I'm enjoying the food, without a doubt.

Are resolutions for the New Year unpopular on a prison ship?

[ The video opens to this face; smiling, polite, hands folded on the table in front of her. ]

Good evening. My name is Door; I am a new warden here, and I have a request for other wardens and inmates alike.

I am looking for partners to assist me in exploring our new location. The late 19th century held all sorts of fascinating opinions on women my age doing things on their own. Since I am new here I thought I would pose the request to all, and see if anyone was interested.

Thank you.

[spam for the duration of the port - make your own location in subject line ]

[ Door keeps to crowded places for the most part, which fortunately isn't hard at all; she's equally interested in both technology and art, seems to chat up people from all over the world and all over the Barge with ease and just a little bit of grace.

This is not what she was expecting, coming here, but it is fun.

Room 6:19


•CONTACT METHOD: Plurk! sleepofreason
•THREAD-JACKING: Go for it.
•FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: There's no canon puncture to be had and I'd rather not have Door 4th walled
•BACKTAGGING: Yes!
•AVOIDED TOPICS: Rape, racism and aggressive homophobia are huge button pushers.
•PREFERRED GENDER PRONOUN: she/her/hers

IC CHARACTERISTICS:
•CURRENT CANON POINT: After Richard's return to London Below
•PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Door is short for her age, pale, and has a LOT of red hair. She dresses in clothes that looks like the Ren Faire robbed several antique stores and then got some hipsters to give them coordination advice. Her face is covered in freckles and her expressions are varied and demonstrative. She doesn't move silently, per se, but does have a habit of being somewhere she wasn't the last time you happened to look in that direction.
•DEMEANOR: Door is warm. Kind. Curious. She smiles easily but is not as simple as she may appear. Everyone gets the benefit of the doubt, with Door - people are a variety and she is not a fan of assumptions. She is also a trauma survivor and acts like it, is aware of other's behavior and the possibility of things not being what they seem.
•ABILITIES: The Porticos have a Talent and the Talent is thus: opening doors.

Which makes it a bit hilarious that her entire family is named for methods of entry, really, but there you have it.

Door can open doors into nearly anywhere, from nearly anywhere, but the act itself drains her with each door she opens; the further the other side of the door is from wherever the portal was originally opened, the more exhausted Door is immediately after. This ability can be used on any surface, living or otherwise, though Door has not had any chance to use it as a defensive skill to do any more than get her out of harm's way. She needs only to have a goal in mind to use this skill, and doesn't do so lightly.

She is also a rat-speaker, meaning ...she can talk to rats and mice. And pigeons.

Door's ability will be limited to ports and rooms she has access to on board the Barge/common areas, as far as trying to open doors through the material of the Barge itself. Passengers are okay with player permission.

•MEDICAL INFORMATION: Door can heal most injuries with a good night's sleep, or some approximation thereof.
•CABIN INFORMATION: The door to Door's cabin, which is laid out like a mid-range London flat, almost but not quite exactly like Richard's. The layout is similar to this without the dimensions. Windows look out to a view of London from several floors up.
•OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Angels, political murder of entire families, that sort of thing

IC PERMISSIONS:
•MENTAL: With ooc plotting
•MIMICRY: With ooc plotting
•VIOLENCE: With ooc plotting
