[Egon looks up curiously from his work, blinking at the woman peering in at him and her odd... phrasing. Fairies? What the hell was that supposed to mean?]
[He's still assuming that people have come here from different planes and realities so he's become accustomed to seeing strange people. But this woman is especially odd.]
Do I? Interesting. Dreams in which you meet someone can indicate precognitive abilities.
Uh. Of course. I exert my will over the universe all the time. Unfortunately, the universe almost always wins. I'm forced to use more mechanical means.
[He holds up the circuit board he's been soldering on.]
[It's obvious to Egon that she comes from a very different world and he nods, pretending to understand her for simplicity's sake.]
Well, I admit my machines aren't a great example of what you'd usually find in man's possession. My realm is the supernatural, a subject most humans like to pretend doesn't exist.
Oh I know... Humans ignore what they do not understand, or try and exploit it for power thinking they are above it. My duty was to aid those who stood against it where I come from... Though, it was through pacts with spirits and masks that were worn.
I think if someone had that kind of power where I come from my colleagues and I would be out of business.
[In the midst of his fascination Egon somehow manages to remember his manners.]
You're welcome to come in and sit down if you'd like.
I'm Dr. Egon Spengler. Before getting trapped here I was a ghost catcher of sorts. This [he gestures to the project in front of him] is my attempt to recreate the instrument I used to detect supernatural energy using outdated technology.
I am Elizabeth... Attendant for the Velvet room... Back home I assisted my master in binding spirits to rebuff the dark dreamings of gods and men that wished to become them.
[She peers at the device for a bit with a curious look]
To separate one energy from another... How fascinating.
[He sets the soldering iron in its holder and begins fitting the circuit board with screws.]
Not really separate. There's psychokinetic energy in every living thing, which is why this sort of device never reads at '0'. You simply have to know which levels are normal and which levels suggest mild, moderate, and extreme supernatural activity. That activity isn't restricted to ghosts, either.
This device measures psychic channeling, dimensional portals, ectoplasmic residue, and even human possession.
[Egon hadn't yet installed the parts from the voltmeter to detect a negative charge, but the device was able to detect high amounts of electrons within a short distance using the photon-emitting pieces from an old Radarange oven. It didn't have a display screen yet but the lunch-box sized box that the circuit board had been wired to sudden began emitting clicks and whirs.
Egon stared at it in surprise and then looked up at Elizabeth leaning over the table.]
Elizabeth, right? Do me a favor and step back for just a moment.
Hrm... The decisive tinkerings of mechanical fairies seems quite popular this evening...

[She shrugs a little]
That and my master requires those who contract the first time to speak within a dream.

And how do you "bind" spirits?

You ask these questions as if you are unfamiliar with the concept....

[She gets closer to it to peer at it and if the thing is on, its going to read something that may or may not be suffering from Carpathian Kitten Loss]
