1st Contract - [video/action]

[The network is treated to a close-up of a rather good-looking face, topped with a neatly coifed head of blond hair. When it pulls back a fraction, the man appears to be wearing an elaborate Victorian frockcoat in bright blue with silver insets. He gives the network a dazzling grin.]

Good afternoon, all. Or is it morning? It was afternoon when I left, but inter-dimensional travel does tend to mess with ones timeline just a fraction so I’m not going to assume it’s the same time it was back in Ingary. We’ll just stick with ‘Good Day’, shall we?

You can imagine my surprise when I was expecting to step into another rainy day in Wales and discovered it had dried up quite a bit. Now I’ve done my research, and I must say this place is hardly original. At the very least you could have given it an appropriate title. Something better than ‘The City’. Honestly, If I’m going to be kidnapped at least I’d prefer it was by someone with a little style.

Now could someone please tell me where a fellow can get a drink around here. I was on my way to my university rugby club reunion when these Deities decided to snatch me up, and I was looking forward to getting well and truly sloshed..



[ooc: The Welsh Wizard is all up in your City, people. He managed to avoid the fountain, so action for anyone around the welcome centre.]

That counts on what you're wanting to drink.

[You get a pause, Gwen Cooper. Then he fixes his best and most charming smile on. Oh hey. A lady.]

Don't tell me I did end up in the Valleys after all. I don't remember the last time I saw Wales have this much sunshine.

[likeabreath]

Nowhere in Wales gets this much bloody sun.

[video] clearly pig is a smart individual.

[freedrinkplease]

Oooh, I'm going to follow this post. I've been wanting a list of the best places to drink.

[conesoldstober]

So far the search has come up dry, no pun intended.

[minigolfandsushi]

Now that's just depressing. Nobody's even mentioned the Blue Light!

[livingmyths]

Have you been here before? You sound like you're used to this.

[conesoldstober]

Not in this world, no, but I'm not a stranger to dimension hopping.

[livingmyths]

Gosh! That'll make things easier for you here.

Welcome to the City.

[valentineluke]

Seems you've gotten one of Myrnin's coats. Are you shod in bunny slippers as well?

[conesoldstober]

Do I look like I wear slippers, my friend?

[valentineluke]

Wouldn't know, hence the asking.

[undespairing]

You sound like a professional inter-dimensional time traveler! Are you one?

[conesoldstober]

More of a recreational trans-dimensional hopper. It's never gone off like this before now.

video that she doesn't know is on;

[charring]

I love when newcomers research stuff on their own.

[conesoldstober]

Is it that uncommon for people to be able to read up on this themselves? It's not exactly alchemy.

[leathered]

Hardly original, but awfully hard to get out of, just to warn you.

voice;

[conesoldstober]

I'm fairly sure I've been in harder scrapes to get out of and still managed.

[ Howard take in the man on the screen, tries to follow the well-spoken words, attention drifting away from the work he's supposed to be doing. ]

If I knew what time'a day it was, pal, I'd enlightening you, but it ain't something I've been keeping tabs on lately.

[ He drops into a chair, focuses fully. ] The City really ain't the most original, but it gets the job done. You needing any help over there?

[conesoldstober]

Gets the job done, does it? And what job is that exactly?

[That first paragraph contains some exciting and magical words. Chekov forgoes manners because physics.]

You are accustomed to traveling between dimensions? What do you know of alternative timelines?

[conesoldstober]

I'm accustomed to traveling between two dimensions. This one's a bit new.

[Howl gives an interested glass-marble glance at the video screen. You seem... enthusiastic.]

Alternative timelines I've not been in, but I certainly wouldn't discount them with everything I've seen.
