[It's hard to tell what the gentleman is thinking as a pair of sunglasses cover half his face. From the tone of his voice it's easy to tell that he's exasperated, tired and pissed off. He's dressed in a very expensive business suit that is currently a bit singed, has some blood on it, and very rumpled. Clearly someone has been busy before they arrived here and hasn't had a chance to change.]

Another kidnapping? Really. Don't you people ever get tired of it?

I have to say it's pretty good for a kidnapping. I mean, I didn't even feel the transfer and that's damn hard to do.

[He pauses and looks around to get a better sense of his surroundings.]

Are you fair folk? It doesn't feel like Faery.

[That said, he shrugs dismissing the matter out of hand. Faery or not, he's still been kidnapped after all. That's what needs to be dealt with.]

Anyway. It'd be best to let me go back right now for everyone's sake. My father will be pissed off when he finds me missing and his temper is already frayed and my fiancee will be pissed off and her temper is even more frayed.

This seems like a nice place, if odd. So instead of pissing off the god of the dead and the warmage just let me go home and I won't mention it. This will save a lot of lives in the long run.

I've got enough on my plate already.

Please, don't add any more.

Oh gosh, no, it's not like fairies or anything.

And you weren't exactly kidnapped. Just... somehow people end up here in the City.

Are you okay, though?

[deadmanbusiness]

Are you sure? [Suspicious Theo is Suspicious.] Just ending up somewhere sounds like faery to me.

[He waves a hand.]

I'm fine.

[livingmyths]

I'm sure. I've never met one here.

There are deities here, though, and they seem to run things.

[valentineluke]

[Piqued by the blood and suit. Plus something else, but it's too subtle to put his finger on.]

Welcome to the City. You have nice taste in clothing.


(OOC - City dead vamp. Not somebody (including anybody he ghouls) you can control, but he is kind of sort of subconsciously responding a little to what you are.)

[deadmanbusiness]

[He's a bit too frustrated to notice the vampireness just yet.]

Thanks. I think.


((ooc: Gotcha.))

[beyourarmy]

You've been kidnapped before? Damn.

And how serious are you about that possible lots of lives saved thing?

[deadmanbusiness]

It's ... a thing of my life.

[Insanely rich kid, you'd think they'd learn by now.]

Pretty serious.

[beyourarmy]

That doesn't sound like much fun. Ever think of trading your life in for another one?

.... I almost want to see this happen, just to see if it can.

[infernoandhearth]

And you'd believe we're not sidhe because it doesn't feel like Faery?

Do you actually know any fairies?

[deadmanbusiness]

Not at all.

And yes. I do. My father's secretary is one for starters.

[infernoandhearth]

Then you ought to know someone else will have to come here to rescue you. It's how it works, I'm afraid.

[harrydresden]

Not today we're not. Last I checked.

Jeeze can't go five steps without tripping over a godling in this place.

[deadmanbusiness]

Not today?

I'm not a godling. I'm still mortal.

[harrydresden]

On Saturday yes. Today, just a red blooded American.

So the whole threat thing was about someone else?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

This a real problem for you?

[deadmanbusiness]

Unfortunately.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

That is a sad existence you live in. Also, you might want to tone down the D&D.

[indecent_butterfly]

Do let all know if the threatening works as it has yet to.

[deadmanbusiness]

I'm not threatening. I'm trying to prevent problems.

[indecent_butterfly]

The City does like to create problems so One does believe it will work out the same.

Hail and well-met, sir.

Welcome to your life as a hamster on a wheel.

[ OOC: He's City Dead. And a 'vampire' -- but not in the traditional undead sense. Not easily controlled. ]

Private

[deadmanbusiness]

Hello to you too.

You mean running around and never getting anywhere in life?

((OOC: Got it. :) ))

Private x3

[worldofourown]

You needn't even be running.

You can just be rolling around on the wheel, hitting your head over and over.

[rianofski]

Ah, yes, the comforting refrain of children everywhere: "You wait until my father hears about this."

[A pause.]

He won't be hearing about it, I'm afraid.

[deadmanbusiness]

If something is set on fire you expect the fire department to come. This is no different.

And I'm leaving that up in the air for right now.

[He's heard what these people have been saying, but he's not one hundred percent sure he believes them.]
