Clarification

Now that even the kids are confused, I'm going to explain once.

During a mission two days ago, I was exposed to an EM field. On top of a rather nasty shock it also scrambled my powers so badly that it knocked them off-line for the next few days. As a defense mechanism, my body shifted to what I call my primary alternative form. Until the effects wear off, I'm powerless and cannot revert back to my normal body.

Yes, I am currently the strange redheaded woman seen in the halls. I'm still me, obviously, just packaged a little different. If the juxtaposition is too odd, for now, you can all me Nora if you need. That was the name of the friend this body is based off of.

In order to avoid more of... well, all of this, for one day only, I will answer any questions about shapeshifting, living in other forms, and whatever you want to ask. In return, everyone comes to terms with the fact that sometimes I'm other people for awhile. Deal?

No idea who Dexter is, but I can sense a broken person at fifty feet. No need to hide for me.

A semi-enjoyable TV show if you enjoy the premise of a serial killer being taught to kill only other serial killers.

I wouldn’t dare hide from you, Kevin. It might make me seem less trustworthy in many eyes were I to avoid the mansion’s spies.

The martyr complex is the suspicious part. What have you done that is so bad you assume you'll be quickly judged under the same parameters? Or is this a desperate head fake?

A Martyr complex: One who seeks out suffering or persecution to feed a physical need or desire to avoid responsibility.

Certainly there are many people here who do not trust me. I have in the past done things which were considered shady or downright suss. I don’t deny that I have been untrustworthy or that people are in their right to distrust me.

Have I not been taking steps to be more honest? I’ve certainly been upfront with many things I may have hidden in the past.
