Tweak says, "Hello again"

Greetings. I'm Carlin and I'm bringing to the game Joelle Burkheart. She's a virtual unknown with no relations to any hero or villain and doesn't even have mutant parents. Her mutant power is Mediumship which allows her to sense and communicate with spirits. She works two jobs - one as a bookstore clerk, another as a waitress - in NYC and shares an apartment with one other girl (potential for a PC to be that particular girl if anyone is interested).

Five interesting facts about her:

• Joelle loves art and dreams of becoming a professional artist someday. She's really good at portraiture and often uses spirits as her models.

• She touches everything.

• She had a brief moment of fame when she communicated with a spirit while she lived in Rochester. The publicity was very localized and brief so very few would probably remember her.

• Had a brief relationship with a spirit when she was 16, but she moved away before anything could really develop.

• She's a big fan of classical music.

So, yes, I'm open for plotting! I can be reached at xscarletkittie.

	I am sensing some sort of religious conflict in the near future. I'm embracing it. I don't know what sort of plotting to suggest between us. Joelle doesn't seem like she deserves that sort of torture. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The first part of that was oddly cryptic. That, or I'm just too tired to understand the complete implications of it. I'm sure we could think of something in time, just have to ponder over it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't really understand either, to be honest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think I get it now. Religious people who don't believe in ghosts come face to face with a girl who claims to speak with ghosts. I can see the conflict. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, good. I dub thee the voice of my logic from this point on. Do you come in cellphone application version? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is this going to be a hard job, being the voice of your logic? And on a slightly unrelated note, apparently our two pbs were in a photoshoot together points to icon (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well. It pays well, if you like cookies. Clearly, everyone else should pretty much be jealous. Now we have to thread and be BFFs. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	she sounds sweet, i'll gladly offer up eli for any potential line ideas you may have. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That would be awesome. I'm not too sure what kind of plot they could have... maybe they cross paths at one of her places of employment? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	elle's a book nerd, so she'd more than likely run into at some point :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Awesome. Yay for random run-ins at work! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thanks! Oh, and so you know, Joelle's birthday is Feb. 28th. Sorry I didn't add that to my application. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hey! If you'd like her and Victoria could be roommates. lizzyhowlett is very accepting of everyone and a book nerd so they'd probably run into each other at book stores. personality_ is a hermit so I have no clue what lines they would have. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I wonder if they would get along well enough to be roommates. Well, Joelle gets along with everyone but it seems she's everything Victoria chooses to avoid. There would have to be a good reason why she'd chose to room with Joelle, me thinks.

Doesn't Lizzy work as a waitress? Maybe she and Joelle work together? I haven't quite figured what restaurant/bookstore she works at yet.

As for Lyle... I'm not sure how'd they interact either, but we can always explore that and see what happens.

Vic is never home and when she is it would be for sleeping or eating. She can be surprisingly nice when others aren't around but if you don't think it will work then that's okay.

Lizzy and Joelle could work together, she works at a place called the Greasy Spoon and loves it there for now lol.

Sure we can see how Lyle and her would work together once I get him out of the thread with Leila.

	If Vic is willing to be her roommate then I am all for it! Joelle is pretty laid back and knows how to give people space so she's a pretty good roommate. Sounds good for both Lizzy and Lyle :) (Reply to this) (Parent)
