Ah... visitors. [His eyes say he's smiling.] Always a pleasant surprise. Allow me to offer you a warm welcome to the City. You'll find your way around, I'm sure.

Now, I don't suppose it would be too optimistic to hope that a James McCullen is among you. [Murmuring:] Or even Mr. Zartan...

[OOC: DESSSSTRO, COME IN, DESSSSTROOO. Or anyone. EXCEPT FOR JOES >CCC (No, Joes would be awesome) Just don't tell him he's fictional.]

How about a Baroness, Doctor?

[nanomitesss]

You're a welcome sight, Baroness, as always.

[seeyaduke]

I'm glad to hear it. How did we end up in this odd little place?

[nanomitesss]

I wish I had an answer for you. One that wasn't divine intervention, at any rate. [He says that with a hint of sarcasm, because pffth, gods, whatever.]

[seeyaduke]

Gods, huh? Thank goodness you're not drinking that koolade.

[nanomitesss]

So the party line goes. Gods, curses, magic.

I'll admit, certain things defy reason, but there's no reason to believe in absolute fantasy.

[seeyaduke]

Probably not. Perhaps we've all just been given some really good drugs and I'm actually still in my little nest back in Paris.

[nanomitesss]

Tempting as that explanation is, this is too sustained and consistent to be a hallucination.

Where in the City are you?

[loyalblackdragon]

A warm welcome for strangers could prove to be something more.

[nanomitesss]

Of course. Which is why my politeness doesn't extend to, say, inviting them into my home.

[loyalblackdragon]

That would be for your comrades... but to protect them?

[nanomitesss]

My comrades don't require my protection.

Where are you visiting from, if you don't mind my asking? Or are you another... resident of this City? [Being new-ish, he's not quite sure who's just popping in for the weekend and who's actually here to stay.]

[fuckyouboots]

Shit. And here I thought you were bad enough in the face department before.

[nanomitesss]

What do you mean? [HIS FACE IS FINE TYVM]

[fuckyouboots]

You used to look twelve. Now you look like a trainwreck from twelve years ago. [NOT REALLY, REX. THERE'S A LITTLE SOMETHING ON YOUR MOUTH.]

[nanomitesss]

Well, sometimes accidents happen.

[Private]
How do you know about my... former appearance? We've never spoken before.

[fuckyouboots]

Liar. I don't pay for lapdances from snake women just for anybody.

[nanomitesss]
