Oh, this curse again.

You can pester me if you bring free food. Having extremely good looks is also accepted. Bonus points if you're from home - as long as I like you, that is.


[OOC: No doubles or telling him what happens to Volgin please! Everything else allowed. He'll be at The Blue Light for people to action with.]

[Have a very odd-looking young man with the fluffiest, longest green hair (you could mistake him for a tree at a distance!) and the emptiest looking blue eyes.

Might want to strain a little or turn the volume up on whatever you're using, Raikov, the man can't seem to speak above a whisper.]

Curse? [N frowns, looking worried.] What are you talking about?

... I'm afraid I'm not carrying anything you might want to eat, but if you could— please tell me what's going on!

[Raikov strains to understand him]

You're going to have to speak up, kid. If I heard you correctly though... welcome to the City.

[Video]

[harmonicmotion]

[He looks momentarily confused, before bringing his communicator even closer.]

The City? [He's trying to speak louder and at least it's now easier to understand him, but his voice is still incredibly quiet.] I'm sorry, that classification is too general... which City is this? Are we anywhere near Kanoko Town?

[And now, the second issue with this guy's way of speaking: he speaks too quickly when he's excited, like a child, rattling off too many questions without waiting for answers.]

[plastics]

[Did someone say extremely good looks?]

If I have to bring my good looks somewhere where would I be bringing them?

[Raikov likes!]

The Blue Light. I'll gladly be your waiter...

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Socially awkward kid, Raikov decides.]

You've basically been kidnapped for the next 48 hours and are in a magical place simply called the City. Be thankful you don't live here.

[Being this handsome is a blessing, and a curse.]

Perfect. I'll head that way, just as soon as I figure out which way that way is. Shouldn't be too hard, plenty of people around.

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Insert directions here.]

I might even give you a free dessert. Depends on how well you tip.

[Perfection.]

I guess that depends on the service, but I'm usually pretty generous.

[He'll be there soon. Just.. keep your eyes peeled for the stupid hot guy in the medical scrubs.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

I like that in a man.

[Oh, he definitely will.]

[It suddenly occurs to Mark that.. this isn't going the way he's expecting it to, buuuut.. that's a good enough reason to put off a trip to the bar.

That being said, there he is.. glancing around and nodding slightly to himself. It's not Joe's, but.. it's not bad for what it is.]

[Video]

[harmonicmotion]

[Pretty much.

This sounds troubling...]

Kidnapped? To what end?

And... you can't leave?

action;

[majorcrotchgrab]

[It takes a bit for Raikov to notice Mark since he's busy with other tables, but when he does, he struts right on over, giving the man his most charming smile]

Well, well. You look even better in person.

[majorcrotchgrab]

We get to live our lives enduring crazy events called curses. We're stuck here until the deities get bored.

You though... you're just a visitor.

[spotlighted]

Hey Ivan, your brother's here.

[Video]

[harmonicmotion]

So, I am only meant as a catalyst, speeding up this reaction without undergoing any permanent change myself. Just helping you get to where you're already going, but faster...

Alright, I understand. Then, I want to at least create a positive change, during my limited time here! [Hey, he was groomed to be a legendary hero, and presently has no idea what to do with his life, what do you expect?]

video

[majorcrotchgrab]

I don't have any siblings.

[imitateverything]

You've a lot of demands.

[plastics]

[Not to worry, he's having a little look around at the scenery. Mark quirks a crooked grin back at him.]

I know.

[Video]

[majorcrotchgrab]

... Er, you're not helping us get anywhere. We aren't going anywhere.

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

I like taking charge.

action;

[majorcrotchgrab]

And confident too...

[Business is business though and he brings out his note pad]

I'm Ivan, by the way. I'll be taking good care of you today. What can I get you to drink?

video

[spotlighted]

Sure you do. Even he said you were probably related.

video

[majorcrotchgrab]

... Oh! Jack's back this weekend? That asshole's probably going to try and avoid me.

video

[spotlighted]

Jack? He said his name was Raiden. [Which sounds enough like Raikov to her that it's proof in her mind that they're secretly brothers.]
