Action- Fourth wall!

[Having seen his father, and dealing with him, Theo began to look around hopefully for someone else he knew.

With the two zombie rats on his shoulder and his general undead vibes, he cut a strange figure moving between everyone as carefully as he could, but occasionally bumping shoulders.]

((Have at the necromancer. People trying to smite him are always fun.))

[Suddenly: blonde woman linking her arm with his, ignoring the rats entirely.]

Hey, sweetie.

[She smiles brightly with the 'I'm going to kill something if this isn't figured out soon' expression in her eyes.]

Where, exactly, are we?

[Suddenly: beaming Theo.]

Enne! I've been looking for you!

[recognizes look.]

In this... city. Run by deities that make Ashkari look reasonable.

We're supposed to be in LA right now. I'm not sure Anna is going to take our being shunted aside to a brand new city very well.

[She maintains her grip on his arm.]

I didn't know there was anywhere that was still run by deities.

I know we're supposed to be in LA now. And I think "pissed the hell off" is about how Anna will take it.

[Losing circulation in arm. One of the rats crawls onto her.]

We're I think it's somewhere like fairy, but not exactly. And I use the term run very loosely.

And you haven't even seen Anna pissed the hell off.

[She loosens up a bit and pats the rat on the head.]

Somewhere like fairy, but not exactly... great. That sounds like so much fun. How do we get out?

I'd like to continue not to. However I've been told that if you leave, you arrive exactly where you left with no memory of being here.

Odd, isn't it?

[The rat likes this and makes a gurgling noise]

I haven't figured that part out yet. I tried talking to the deities, but like I said, Kari's more mature than them.

Well, that's a plus. Maybe she won't storm the city for an explanation.

[Cute, but creepy. She keeps petting the rat.]

How long have you been here? It sounds like it's longer than me.

I would actually like to see that.

[Cute but creepy is Theo's thing.]

That's Jasper, by the way.

About two weeks. I've had the delight of getting turned into a side show freak for a day or so.

Get your free undead rats!

It tends to involve plague. It's not all that picturesque.

[So it is.]

Hon, I mean this in the best way possible- why would anyone want free undead rats?

I imagine not. I'm assuming Black Plague like plague?

[Jasper likes her!]

They make great pets? I haven't a clue.

Bubonic plague, yes. She likes the classics.

[Aww. What a sweetie.]

Most people don't even like live rats.

Can't really go wrong with those.

It was like ... you know feeding the animals at the zoo? Except this was tossing rats at the necromancer and watching them come alive. Freak show. They turned this one girl into a living flame and caused another man to ... shoot bees from his hand.

[That last one puzzles him.]

[She grits her teeth. Hard.]

So. Where can we talk to these gods? Because I have a few things I'd like to say to them.

[Mostly about the way they have been treating her fiance.]

[He squeezes her hand tightly.]

I don't know. And I've already yelled at them. It didn't have much of an effect.

People don't get to treat people that way. Especially you.

[Because other people don't have an Adrienne to light things on fire for them.]

I'm not planning to yell.

Enne. Setting deities on fire never helps.

Bullshit.

It might make you feel better, but it just pisses them off.

[He can't help but smile, however.]

Like I'm scared of a bunch of shittier than Kari deities.

[She is not smiling. She is angry. Rawr.]

[It's adorable, really. And one of the reasons why he loves her so much.]

They're shittier than Kari, but this is their domain and they do rule it.

Gods have died before.

That they have.

But the people who have killed them often get hurt or die themselves.

It's cute that you're worried.

It's my job as your fiancee to be worried.

And it's my job as your fiancee to punch things that hurt you in the face until they go away.

[He really wants to say that you can't punch everything in the face until they go away, but he knows that Adrienne wouldn't listen to him.]

I know.

You look like you come from a carnival.

[ The young woman has stopped to stare at him and his companions. ] Do they do tricks?

I ... got them from a carnival.

[He tries not to flinch from the memories. The girl doesn't know.]

And they can do tricks, yes.

[ Well, now you can read the curiosity in her eyes. ] They seem quite well-behaved. So, are you a regular resident? I'm new, it's all a bit ridiculous to me.

Zombies generally aren't that great at misbehaving.

I don't know if regular resident is the right thing to call me. I just got here a few weeks ago and I would rather not be one.

[ She squints at him, as if uncertain she's heard correctly. ] Did you said zombie?

Yes.

[He holds out his hand and one of the rats shuffles forward for her to inspect. It is quite clearly undead (no rat should be able to live with that wound in its side), but fairly well kept together.]

Say hi Jake.

[The rat stands up on its hind legs and wiggles its nose at her.]

[Death is standing in the middle of a sea of people. People who are parting around him. Subconsciously avoiding the Horseman with out even realizing it. He leans on his cane, his expression nothing but pure disdain.

Something... is coming. Something not the same as the others. He swings around to face the direction of the oncoming presence. But does not move or make an attempt to contact. He'll just.. wait.]

[Of course Theo sensed him. It's almost like sensing his father, but not.

The rats on his shoulder went, forgive the pun, dead still, and he stared at the man with the cane directly.]

[The Horseman regards, Theo with a little curve to his lips.]

Odd thing. You prickle across my senses.

[He doesn't smile but he does tilt his head a little.]

Odd thing. You prickle mine.

[Death's expression falls flat.]

I hope. for your sake, you aren't mocking me.

I was not.

[He's not. At least, not really. Perhaps just teasing a little. He's also not afraid.]

[This should be interesting, since Death is sort of hung up on respect in his being. He doesn't do too well with sarcasm, or humor.]

Good. What is this place? [And how was he summoned here, because that takes a lot of effort.]

[And Theo isn't afraid of any sort of death, capital or otherwise. He grew up with it, after all, and just sees it as another part of his life. If he doesn't become a god, at least.]

As far as I know, it's called the City. No one else has given me a better name.

I see. What pathetic waste of existence had the gall to summon me to this place?

Possibly some of the most pathetic excuses for gods that I've seen and that's saying something.

[One of the rats on Theo's shoulder unfreezes from its zombie fright and leans over to try and sniff the "man" Theo is talking to.]

[Death shrugs, a little tiny lift of his shoulders.]

All manner of creature and being is pathetic when you are myself. So, I'm hardly impressed by your impression of the so called 'gods' here.

[The Horseman raises a brow at the little rat, eyes flicking from the creature back to it's keeper's face.]

Your pet is a disruption to the natural order. It should be...set right.

I know a few gods, so I think I can make a judgement call.

And I don't know why you being a death means that all creatures and beings are pathetic.

[The rat sits up straight and gives him a beady eyed look.]

It's under my control. I know how to keep my things in check. They're my providence.
