[Beside the fountain, a statue has appeared. Or so one might assume, given the slate-grey stone of its skin, the sharp glint of wire topping its head as a fall of hair. Despite the illusion of its cape and cloak that billow in the winter breeze, the shimmer of light on the longsword dangling from one clenched fist, surely it can't be alive...]
[But watch from another angle and see that the tunic it wears is in tatters, exposing a lean torso of yet more stone, the features of a chiseled face framed by darker pebbles. The first sign of true life is seen in sluggish trails of blood that flow from his mouth and chest, their slow drips rhythmic against the ground.]
[The stone man sways in silence, eyes closed, and then he pitches forward into the fountain. A sharp crack sounds as his hip strikes the base, and then the only movement are the ribbons of red that flow from his wounds and get swept into the current.]
***
[Voice, some time later]
[A distinctly uncomfortable clearing of his throat, before a low, smoky voice addresses whoever might be listening. He is far from used to communicating through such means, but it might prove advantageous to not require face to face contact.]
How might a new... resident [or whatever a stranger calls himself] go about finding living accommodations and employment? I haven't seen much in the way of advertisement postings. [Wanted posters being, of course, his usual method of job seeking.]
((OOC: So sorry this took so long, I've been (really) sick! Any City dweller that can sense supernatural presence might be slightly pinged by him, but they probably won't be able to identify what exactly he is. For more specific info, feel free to ask!))

Very strange ones, like ones designed to make you act in a way counter to your real personality, ones designed to humiliate you, transformations you can't undo until they decide to give you your body back, soulless monsters bearing the faces and speaking in the voices of loved ones that try to kill you and leave you with no option but to dispose of them... [That was an absurdly specific example, there, Nobori. He says it in the same tone as everything else, as if hoping it will pass without questioning that way.]

I guess I'll have to figure something out, then. [No way he's going to just stay here. Not a chance. If he can (help( defeat Dark Lords he can get the hell out of this place.]
