[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.

Nine months, give or take.

[ It was a suicide-interruptus back in his world. ]

Private x3

[deadmanbusiness]

So you know a lot about the place, I'm assuming?

Private

[worldofourown]

As much as anyone else. [ A shrug. ] Do you really know faeries and war-mages? [ Because he rarely answers questions for free. ]

Private

[deadmanbusiness]

Yes. Like I said, my fiancee is a war mage. One of the best alive. She only made sergeant because she kept on mouthing off to the wrong people.

And my father's secretary is a fairy.

Private

[worldofourown]

Are we talking about fairies with wings, or fairies that adore Cher?

Private

[deadmanbusiness]

[Cue politely confused look. There are fairies who have wings in his world and some of them do like Cher, possibly even adore her. It's not something he's really paid attention to. Fairy is not something applied to gay people because the fairies would take offense.]

I don't understand.

Private

[worldofourown]

[ Cannot tell if Cher doesn't exist in his world, or if gay people don't. ]

It doesn't matter.

Your father's the god of the dead?

Private

[deadmanbusiness]

[They both do. The context and jargon is wrong.]

Yes. Well. A god of the dead. There's lots of pantheons after all.

Private

[worldofourown]

[ Well. You can't expect him to know that. ]

This is a common thing, where you're from? Lecherous satyrs chasing nymphs and truant gods sowing brat-seeds and fools drowning while kissing their own reflections?

Private

[deadmanbusiness]

[Nope! World confusion is fun! :D]

That's the Greeks.

Private

[worldofourown]

[ Nothing spells mayhem like misunderstandings :3 ]

If you say you're Norse, I'm going to choke on bile and tedious disappointment.

[ They already have -- what? -- two? three? Lokis. ]

Private

[deadmanbusiness]

[They're the best.]

No. Babylonian. Small city state, long gone.

[Oh. Joy.]

Private

[worldofourown]

Oh.

So do they have temples [ brothels? ] for the dear deity Ishtar?

[ So much joy. ]

Private

[deadmanbusiness]

Um... Not that I know of. But my father mentioned that my eldest brother tried to hit on her once when they visited her.

Private

[worldofourown]

Did he survive with all his bits intact?

Private

[deadmanbusiness]

Yes. He's actually rather charming from what I know about him.

Private

[worldofourown]

Doesn't sound as though you know him too well.

Private

[deadmanbusiness]

He's six thousand years older than I am. I just discovered he was still around about three days ago. He's spent the last hundred years in the movie industry being the heart throb type guy, but I didn't know we were related.


((OOC: The mun is highly amused at the above icon because said brother played Edward in Twilight.))

Private

[worldofourown]

Movie industry, hm? [ Now doesn't that sound familiar? ] A curious vocation for a -- god? demi-god?

[ ooc: rofl xD ]

Private

[deadmanbusiness]

God of the undead. He discovered that the fans would nearly worship certain kinds of movie stars so he set up a series of identies that followed that type and at the height of his popularity kill himself off. Thus people always thought about how wonderful he was and still worshiped him.

Get enough of that going on for several personalities and you've got yourself a good power base to draw on.


((ooc: Also Pb. by Rob Pats.))

It's like an Anne Rice novel. The search for the zenith of adoration. The ultimate immortality. [ A not-so-polite snort. ] So I assume that makes you a God of the Undead too?

Private

[deadmanbusiness]

Anne Rice is a hack. [And that's what he's got to say about that.]

No. I'm just a necromancer.


[If by "just" you mean the one of the strongest living necromancers.]

Private

[worldofourown]

You hardly have to tell me that. [ Le Sigh. Humans writing about immortals. ] Oh? You communicate with the dead?

Private

[deadmanbusiness]

[She managed to get herself turned into a vampire in his world. And then started writing hack.]

Among other things. I can create and control undead as well.

Private

[worldofourown]

[ Ugh duuuude. ]

Does this include garden-variety zombies? Vampires and ghouls?

[ Karl's a Chiropteran, not a vampire. City Dead status aside, he's not worried. ]
