( the look on lydia's face is both determined and harried. she's discovered something about the lawkamercyme, as well as herself. her voice is a harsh whisper, and she seems to be creeping around just outside of caer glaem. )

I can kill them. By myself, I can -- ( she sees one of the creatures approaching. quickly, she sets her locket down. in the frame is a massive lawkamercyme. in the background, there are two or three smaller ones approaching. lydia rights herself and approaches slowly, her back to the locket. but it's clear she's going to face them head on. and they notice her. she just so happened to catch one of the nymphs shouting the name of the creatures before falling unconscious, and just hours prior, she found herself hunted by one of the fearsome things. she opened her mouth and channeled her banshee abilities and screamed its name, and it disappeared. so now, as all four of them turn toward her, she draws a deep breath.

through the network of lockets everyone will be able to hear a piercing scream, recognizable as the name 'lawkamercyme'. supernatural beings will pick up on her scream even without their lockets, as her voice is capable of traveling over at least two to three miles of distance to those with heightened hearing. the shadows seem to be jolted by her voice, and in just a matter of moments, they disappear. vanished. gone. after she's sure the coast is clear she turns, breathless, back to the network. )

I can destroy them.

A Banshee. [That's a new one.] I though banshees were hideous though. ...I mean like in the movies and stuff they're always really creepy and ugly and--I didn't know there was more to a Banshee than just the screaming.

[Nice safe, Ryan.]

Mmm, well, apparently the legends aren't all true. ( she gives a little flash of a smug smile at that. )

Lots more.

Anything else that's just as useful as vaporizing whatever those things are?

Unfortunately, no. And I can't exactly control the comings and goings of the rest.

Kind of a weird hand to be dealt. [A pause.] I mean it just gives you an edge and that means a lot in a place like this don't you think? You're lucky that way.

You're not kidding. ( weird is the word of the day )

It's a blessing and a curse. Seriously, it's nothing I would wish on anyone else. I'm not sure I'd call it lucky. But it can be useful.

You said it yourself. You can kill them by yourself. People can do that, sure, whatever, but you can do it without even lifting a hand. [Seriously Lydia how can you not see how perfect that is? Never mind that Ryan's got a bit of a tunnel vision going on]

But grass is greener, etcetera etcetera. Maybe I just appreciate someone screaming without a tantrum attached to it.

No hands. Just vocal chords. Which are going to be in desperate need of a latte later. ( she hears voices and dreams about people dying on the side, man. ) I wish what came with it was as simple as a tantrum.

If you can find a decent coffee place around here, let me know. [That sounds ominous though Lydia, not gonna lie.]

Maybe you can ask the fairies or whatever to turn it off. They need to be working for us to make sure we're in good shape for them, don't they? It makes sense.

Oh, no. I brought some back from the station. It's actually probably going to go bad pretty soon. Guess I need to drink quickly.

I don't know that I'd want to turn it off. Just... Make it quieter. Easier to deal with.

[All the more reason to go to the station then, he thinks. But that's not the point. The point is he's trying to wrap his head around what horrible things come with being a banshee.

In the end, he just settles on--]

Sorry. That it's not easy, I mean. Maybe somebody else around here knows how to do something the fairies don't to make it better.

I'm hoping. I intend to learn as much as I can about it while I'm here. It stands to reason that someone here might be able to help. ( s i g h life is so hard in lydiatown )
