3. The FIs in the Clubs
(3a) Are there any invisible women members in the clubs?
Yes. Here is a list, in alphabetical order:
KIM ALI
Type: TFI
Disappearing as: seethrulady
How she got that way: A repairwoman, she was accidentally turned invisible while trying to mend a strange vending machine which may have come from the planet Ganymede.
Permanent? Yes. She has to wear a latex mask and gloves if she wants to be seen.
Remarks: Is currently trying to track down the elusive Ganymede Universal company, who allegedly made the mysterious machine.
--------------------
NICOLE ("NIKKI") ALI
Type: TFI, at least for now
Disappearing as: nicoleali
How she got that way: She is a science student who discovered an invisibility formula while analysing the changes to her sister Kim's blood and DNA. (See above)
Permanent? Early versions of the formula only lasted 24 hours. She has recently developed a version that lets her remain invisible until she takes an antidote.
Remarks: The formula seems to be having some strange side effects. It may be giving her the ability to become at least partly invisible by will alone.
--------------------
PIPPA MORAN
Type: TFI/FFI depending on the circumstances
Disappearing as: the_late_pippa_moran
How she got that way: The ghost of a Victorian illusionist's assistant, she was accidentally beheaded when a trick went wrong.
Permanent? She can appear and disappear at will.
Remarks: She also has the ability to walk through walls and remove her head, but she doesn't have the psychic energy to travel far from London, except on special occasions.
--------------------
NAOKO SHINAHARU
Type: TFI, with additional shape-changing powers
Disappearing as: naoko_shinaharu
How she got that way: These powers are possessed by all members of her time-travelling species from the future.
Permanent? She can appear and disappear at will.
Remarks: In this era she often uses a false identity, as a transsexual called Hiroko.
--------------------
VALERIE X.
Type: TFI/FFI depending on the circumstances
Disappearing as: mysterywoman_x
How she got that way: Has always been invisible ever since she was somehow projected into reality from the imagination of writer Jay Doe.
Permanent? Yes, and she's in no hurry to change it.
Remarks: She's supposed to be helping Doe with his writing, but events have recently taken an unexpected turn...
(3b) Can I join in and pretend to be an invisible woman too?
Certainly not! These are all real women, not pretend. You should be ashamed of yourself for even suggesting such a thing.
(3c) Sorry. I meant, erm, I'm a real invisible woman, can I join the clubs?
That's better... Yes, feel free; the more the merrier. You don't need any special permission, just create yourself a Yahoo! profile and join in the usual way. We're looking forward to meeting you.
