Good evening.
[There’s a woman speaking, tone clipped. The corporate jumpsuit hangs off her small frame, and her hair is swept up into an old-fashioned bun. Or so it seems - she’s standing a bit away from the screen, and it’s tilted at an odd angle.]
I am given to understand that this is how to contact my new coworkers? My name is Beatrice Brewer, at your service, and I assure you I am quite qualified. I am - was - an apprentice of the fifth circle in, ah, a collection of magi, have experience in a thrilling variety of crises, and am quite keen to get started on - [a heavy sigh, more notable for the fact that someone observant might catch that she doesn’t breathe] - this situation.
[There’s a long pause.]
Drat, is this bloody thing even on? Dreadful place, what sort of dog and pony show are they running, honestly. Stuff? Stuff? Of all the names?

[She's intrigued, but not surprised. There are people she have known who needed gloves, or those with acidic contact.]
Thank you, madam. People do find my touch unpleasant, but concerns are not serious - hardly a matter of safety. You needn't go out of your way on my account, but if you scrounge some up, I will indebted.
[Beatrice says indebted with a heavy and formal weight.]
If you don't have your gloves on, is there anything else one should be aware of? Any additional precautions?

[ She nodded, understanding how people might react to touch in some circumstances. ]
Ah'll do mah best to avoid touching anyone, but if Ah do they could get hurt. Sort of a weakness and they can pass out.
[ And worse, but she really didn't want to go into that and never planned on letting worse happen again. ]

Very well, ah, Rogue. I'll heed your warning.
[A beat.]
Is Rogue a name, or a job description?
