First Prank: Grand Entrance

[A charming smile with wide and innocuous green eyes, though the glitter in them is something less than harmless and innocent. When he speaks, his voice is light and engaging. Ignore the fact that he’s soaking wet.]

Hello out there!

[The volume is a bit loud and he winces before catching it and allowing his features to adjust back into that beguiling smile. He fixes the volume, teeth catching his lower lip in an expression that really is innocent. His charm does not fade as he speaks again]

Let's try this again? Ah. Better. Now. It seems there has been a terrible mistake, a grave error, I am entirely unsure of where I am, only that I woke up here- yes! woke up!- after being dumped in a fountain and er- found this Stark phone on my person. .

Obviously, whoever has done this has the wrong person entirely. I am no one at all of consequence, a Parisian orphan.

[He frowns and the expression is solemn, pious]

Now, if you please, could someone tell me how far back to Paris?

[OoC Note: Serrure speaks in the All Tongue (he understands every language, anyone he speaks to will understand him) but he thinks he's speaking in French and will assume everyone else is, too.]

Such a big ego for such a little boy.

That's because I'm fantastic.

Size has nothing to do with it.

Every little person says that.

Nonetheless. What makes you so - fantastic?

Tsk. I am still growing.

I simply am fantastic. My lovable, roguish charm, my particularly witty turn of phrase- well sir, you are simply missing out on not being me.

[Ever-so-dry.]

And already, the presumptions begin.

[Switching easily to French.]

Shall I chalk it up to the notorious Parisian snobbery?

Trust me, I can tell. I am one of those meant to be tall.

[He won't notice the transition, if there is a slight change in his expression, it's because he is in perfect denial that you weren't speaking French the entire time.]

Or the notorious Parisian charm.

And an oracle to foresee the future too, it seems.

[Hey. Not everyone in the City speaks French. Easy to fall out of the habit.]

I'm not charmed yet. Try harder.

I have been told I have excellent foresight.

[Then allow him to keep you in practice, by all means.]

Who said I was trying to charm you? I doubt I would get anything out of it.

[The works too, yes.]

Again with the presumptions. What makes you so sure you wouldn't?

[Although, well. A vampire. What does anyone get out of them?]

Because I have the feeling you would see me coming, and the element of surprise and unknowing is what I work best with. [He'd ask to see your fangs. Because vampires? Kinda cool.]

[This is one vampire even other vampires have issues with. Batshit crazy and all.]

See you coming?

Are you a little assassin-in-training? Or a thief, like Kipling's Kim?

[This one is just crazy like a fox.]

I lean more towards the Dickensian orphan thief, type. You know, Oliver Twist, something like that. Charming and lovable.

[A tasty fox? :|a]

Oliver allowed himself to be meekly tossed about by the fates too much for my liking.

More partial to the Artful Dodger myself.

Yes, but the Artful Dodger was not nearly as charming. Though I consider myself a master of my own fate rather than a passenger.

[He might let you. But you might also get a knife in the gut for your troubles. Though.. hey, god blood!]

Then perhaps you'd fit the archetype of the Bard's Puck better.

[Knives in the gut are a standard Hello for him. He has healing powers. And can't die :|]

[...That God-Blood sounds nummy tho']

[This one has healing powers, too, though he does not know it. So he'd be like a well filled soda machine. Of blood.]

Well, I'd very much like to change some people into asses. Though, no, Puck was beholden to Oberon and I prefer not to be beholden to anyone.

[Dear God. If Karl finds out...]

Ah~

A free spirit. Then I'm afraid this City might not be to your liking.

[He'd end up being the tiny Norse god of blood donations?]

Oh, I think it will be, until everything is explored and the people begin to bore me.

Say, how long have you been for?

[And whatever else this sick bastard may conjure up...]

People, as a rule, are generally boring.

...A few months now.

[And already, the claustrophobia is sinking in.]

[If he doesn't talk you into swallowing your own tongue, first.]

Only a boring person would say that! People are all kinds of interesting, they have secrets and fears and ferreting those out to poke and prod is the most interesting thing of all.

Mm. So long? Well. I suppose you're settling into this gilded cage admirably well.

[That would make an interesting sight.]

True~ For someone with few interesting secrets of his own, perhaps?

Not as well as you seem to be, my ever-presumptuous friend.

Someone who doesn't fear the truth, so he has nothing to twist.

I am simply taking advantage of what is presented to me. [Because he's planning on getting out of here at earliest convenience.]

Everyone fears something. And everyone twists a certain truth, even if only in their minds.

And have you found anything of value so far?

[Good luck, kid. He's tried already :|]

[And perhaps his smile wavers just the slightest bit.]

Maybe. Or perhaps that is wishful thinking on your part.

Yes. Quite a few things of value. [He's going to kick the deities in the shins. If he can find them.]

[He catches that wavering smile. And his own grin widens a fraction. Insane he may be. But his intuition rarely fails him.]

I'll leave that for me to decide.

Care to share? [He'd help. But the last time he dealt with the Deities, shit happened.]
