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.]

[latenightfondue]

It sure weren't in my day, but here everyone who's anyone can use it. If you got the computer box thing, you got internet.

What the hell's Bay Watch? [ He owns a television, but he's still not up to speed with anything related to it. ]

[conesoldstober]

An American show about lifeguards. It became rather famous for somewhat gratuitous use of the slow-motion effect when displaying young women running in beachwear.

[ There's an automatic eyebrow wiggle as he becomes suddenly more interested. ] Think I need to get myself caught up on this one, sounds like it's got a good plot.

action;

[conesoldstober]

Oh yes. the plot is certainly well worth watching for.

[latenightfondue]

Think you and me are gonna get along better than I first imagined.

[conesoldstober]

The sentiment is appreciated, my friend. Is this us?

[The establishment looks pub-like.]

[latenightfondue]

Sure is.
