Hello, fellow imPorts.
[ A smile lights up her face -- friendly, warm, inviting. And her tone is much the same. ]
My name is Raina. As you can probably guess, I'm new to this world. But that doesn't make me any less fascinated by it. To be drawn here by forces beyond our control, given powers beyond some of our comprehension, and to have an opportunity beyond our wildest dreams to be heroes? I can't be the only one who is excited by the prospect, can I? This world is incredible. Beautiful, even.
[ Her lips purse in thought and she lowers her gaze toward her fingernails -- freshly manicured. It was one of the very first things she did since she got here, apart from buying the lovely flower dress she has on. ]
But there are things that the files and the debriefing can't explain; things that only those with experience in this world can share. And that is what I hope you'll do with me. Share.
[ Raina makes eye contact with the camera again, her smile -- still beautiful in nature -- houses something else. Something almost predatory. ]
What is it that makes you special? We were chosen for one reason or another. Perhaps you aren't aware of the reasons or perhaps you aren't comfortable sharing them over the network. I understand. We all have our secrets. But I hope at least some of you will help me understand your worlds and your lives and you, yourself. Now that we're all given a special power -- what was it that you have done with yours or what is it you will do?
I greatly look forward to meeting all of you and appreciate your time.

Yes, I already got treated to 'YOLO.' Twice.
[ But she would be willing to put up with it because it was Loki. You either put up with his bizarre sense of humor, or you died. But as Chilton looked over the network and checked to see who it was she had talked to, she had to smile. It was cute that he was invested in giving her the answers. She imagined he would check her post even when they parted, looking for hints about what she would be doing -- how she would move, maybe even her thoughts on him. Analyzing her as much as she intended to analyze him. Old recordings, new recordings, previous conversations. Raina was thirsty for any knowledge she could get about the closed-lipped Dr. Chilton. ]
Just like that, you can guess who it is? What if I was having private conversations? [ Raina teased, but she knew he knew. He had guessed. The whole topic of fear proved just that. ] Fear is a way to control, yes. But to be feared means to be lonely. Alone. It might be exciting to get close to a monster...
[ She looked over as the bartender cleared her glass before she rested her chin on her palm, sliding her gaze back in his direction. ]
But you're the only monster I want to invite into my bed at night.
[ Raina allowed her eyes to linger on him for a few moments too long before she pushed herself off the stool, collecting her purse. ]
Well, I had better get back. I promised one of my roommates a dinner, as much as I would love to get swept away in this moment. This whole thing has been incredibly enlightening. I'm very much looking forward to seeing you at the Swearing In Ceremony, Frederick.

But sometimes, while it was rare, sometimes Chilton knew when to keep his argumentative tongue trapped behind a pretty smile. Women didn't find pedantic arguing attractive, he had been told. Multiple times.
And then she said that thing.]
Going -- already? [It was a strangled plea in his throat. The teased invitation for intimacy, for that kind of intimacy still rang in his ears.] But I -- [A beat. Chilton swallowed, blinking a couple of times.] I certainly would not want you to break your promise, of course.
It was an absolutely delight, Raina. I hope we can rendezvous a good many nights to come.

After drinking in the sensations of his warmth and scent, Raina reluctantly pulled back. Not far, though. She was still close. Still intimate. Just inches away. Raina looked up into his eyes before turning her palm upward between them. A soft, pink glow rose up and began to take the form of a flower. With a smile of awe, she was still pretty amazed by her ability, she offered the fully formed blossom to Chilton. Nerium Oleander. Poisonous. Deadly. But stunningly beautiful.
Raina said nothing, but she did lean in to kiss his cheek before finally separating from him and heading toward the door. ]

Power and control had so many skins.
Looking down in his hand, at he lovely and deadly blossom, Chilton considered what this relationship might be. That she would demonstrate her imPorted power to him (presumably imPorted) was significant, just as his negligence to inquire after it was significant. There was more to her than capability.
Raina was a more formidable sum.]
