[ Haen is enjoying a coffee or something (those who've spoken with her, will probably shudder at the thought of her having caffeine) and the bustle of a cafe is visible in the background. The redhead is smiling widely, pleased to make a proper public network post for the first time since her arrival. ]

Hello, imPort dears! I have an offer to make to you today, so lend me your ears~ but don't actually lend them, I have a set of my own and they work perfectly well, not to mention if you need glasses those would be quite the challenge to have sitting on your face without any ears. You could manage, I assume, but I'm not sure it'd be worth the hassle.

Oh, I should probably introduce myself first, before my offer. Unless you don't care who the offer comes from, in which case, just hold on tight for a moment, I'll get right back to what I was saying. Although if you're holding someone's hand, or anything that's soft like a fruit, don't hold too tightly, because you'll make a mess. Metaphorical or literal mess, your choice.

So! My name is Haen, and in my world I'm what is called a genessi!

What that means is that, using my Tracerie [ she holds up a glove made of small metal link and translucent filaments ] I can change people's genetic coding. Little bits of fixes, here and there!

Now, for some reason, these changes seem to be wearing off after a couple of days, but in the meantime, there's a lot that you can change to see if you like it! For example...

[ Haen turns so that her profile is visible to the camera, and a network of delicate, opalescent scales develop on her collarbone, reflecting the overhead lights. ]

See? Quick and easy, and they're just stunning with a nice shirt. I can do all sorts of changes, hair, eyes, skin, scales, feathers, you name it! All of it painless as well, that's a really important bit to mention, unless you're into that sort of thing, which please don't get me wrong, I don't judge, but that's not what I do. Genessi work -- proper genessi work, that is, not dirty genehacking -- is completely safe. And don't you fear a bit, I'm absolutely registered back home, Riesling Tower seal of approval!

Now there's other kind of work that I can do, the things like this are called Tweaks, but there are also Morphs! Hasn't everyone wanted their very own pair of wings or a tail? It takes a little longer but it's just as safe, you have my word on it.

Suffice to say, and I hope I haven't lost any of you dears already, but this was something I did at home and I'd really like to continue it. So if you have any questions, just go ahead and ask, little me won't bite, I promise!

[ OOC: Haen's permissions post lays out more of her ability with examples, but any changes will automatically wear off within 72 HOURS due to game mechanic limits. ]

Interesting.

[You have his full attention. Run for the hills!]

What do you charge for your services?

Re: Audio | Private

[alcheregis]

[ She does enjoy being the center of attention, she won't lie. ]

Hmhm, hard to say! Nobody here uses credits. What would you think something like that's worth?

[He knows someone like that. He lets them have the spotlight.]

It depends on the person. People have different values for just about everything.

[melavasomniar]

That's an amazing ability, Haen. I didn't know such a thing was possible.

[Private]

A question; what about, say, changing someone sex?

[alcheregis]

[ Compliments are the way to her heart! ]

Oh, why thank you Talyn! It's so strange being the only genessi here, but I admit I'm kind of enjoying not having any competition. Don't think for a moment that I won't still offer the very best service I can, though!

[ private; ]

In appearance or all over?

[melavasomniar]

Normally a competitive business then? And with a lot of demand, I'd imagine.

[Private]

Just the... um. I'm sorry, this is such an awkward line of questioning. [And as such he has to laugh a bit to diffuse some of the discomfort he's feeling asking about this.]

Just the parts that don't match the rest. If you follow.

[dicktate]

Are all genessi as pretty as you are, or are you a special case?

[alcheregis]

Oh my, what a flatterer! Trying to get a little free genework, are you?

[dicktate]

Me? No, I am already perfect.

[ And humble. ]

[hisheartsdesire]

That sort of thing can't possibly give someone a reflection, can it?

[alcheregis]

A reflection? In the mirror, you mean? I'd probably just suggest you buy a different mirror, dear, yours sounds a little questionable.

[hisheartsdesire]

Well, it's not just any one mirror.
And I can't be photographed or seen on camera or in video.
It's a sort of side effect, I guess.

[video]

[wasnever]

Well, that's freaky.

Does it only work on people?

Re: [video]

[alcheregis]

A person as opposed to... an animal, for example?

[video]

[wasnever]

Yeah.

I'm thinking "genetically modified bees."

[khajidont]

[Well, colour him impressed.]

Whoa. I mean, I'm okay with me how I am, but... that is seriously cool stuff. Is that common where you're from? Changing your genetic coding just for fun, or for decoration?

Re: video

[alcheregis]

[ She can colour you anything you'd like! ]

Oh, people don't engage genessi for genework only because they're unhappy, dear. It's like buying a new set of clothes, it's because you want to look different, not because you're not happy with what you have in the closet already.

It's common in that it's widely known. There are around 10-15% of the population which carry the alcheregis trait, but only about 2-3% of us actually are capable of becoming genessi! So we're usually in demand, but it depends a lot on the Tower.

[khajidont]

[He raises his hands in front of him, laughing a little.] Then I'll stick with having a boring wardrobe. But... hey, can you only change appearances, or can you tweak other parts of people's genetics too? Like, if someone had some sort disease that they could get 'cause of their genes, could you fix that?

Video

[logicunlocked]

I don't suppose you can fix scars and things like that.

Re: Video

[alcheregis]

Certainly I can!

Video

[logicunlocked]

Really?

[ He truly hadn't expected her to say that was possible. He sits forward a bit and tilts his head so she can see his eye and the scarring around it. In addition to the scarring on the skin that extends from his eyelid to nearly his jaw, there's a thick white cataract covering his iris. ]

What can you do about this?

[inmyothertights]

This sounds like a terrible idea.

[alcheregis]

[ That reaction is new. ]

Is it? Why would you think so?

Video

[orions_shadow]

[Face is so close to camera right now.]

Can you fix my stomach so I can eat chocolate? And my tongue so I can actually taste it?

Re: Video

[alcheregis]

[ Haen doesn't even bat an eye at the lion-boy. Animalia Morphs are her bread and butter at home. ]

Oh, it's not your stomach per se that wouldn't handle it, dear! Intolerances to food are due to someone not having certain types of enzymes, which are biological molecules called proteins, and those come from ribosomes in your cell's genetic code.

But you didn't ask for a biology lesson, silly me! Yes, it's certainly possible.
