Questions

Who did you share part of yourself with when you first Fell?

Erika's corgi, Providence. I, i don't know why... But his little tail nub lets me unburden myself. He's so... Cute.

Who doesn’t know, but suspects you’re not human?

There's a barista who works the graveyard shift on my way home from my show. She caught me using my powers once, I think; she's been watching me out of the corner of her eye when I stop in for a midnight latte. But what can I do? Erika needs her lattes.

Who could give you up to the angels right now, if they really wanted to?

My biggest fan and, self-proclaimed head of my cult, Samantha "VoiceAddict" Nielz. Samantha knows that Erika Vocce is a cover for a secretive and mysterious angelic power and feels priviledged to be within my "inner circle".

Who would you trust the truest part of yourself with if you absolutely had to?

I... I think I can trust Erika's neighbor/best friend Marjorie... But I can't be sure.

Who thinks they have something on you, when all they really have is smoke and mirrors?

My station manager, Herbert Giles, thinks I've got a drug problem and is trying to use it to blackmail me. I'm going along with his blackmail and letting him keep up his little game because it amuses me and helps to hide some of my more esoteric activities.

The Case of the Dream Haunter

Valerie Yasmine was a university professor specializing in neuroscience. When she began suffering from constant nightmares and episodes of sleep paralysis, she became concerned but chalked it up to overwork. When she began suffering hallucinations and delusions, she called a psychiatrist and began researching late onset schizophrenia. When she coughed up a lungful of car parts... She started looking further afield.

The gang (Yellowjacket Greenapple Investigations?) eventually tracked down the Infrastructure causing the transformations --a device(egg/coccoon/larva?) built into the water tower of her apartment building. Before they could determine its function, the device self-destructed, leaving no answers, but halting whatever bizarre metamorphosis was affecting Professor Yasmine.
