[Hi there abax, Have a wizard. He's wearing a lab coat and is somewhere in the hospital. Remain calm.]

Ah... anyone else from the Underworld here? Roll call please. I know Carver's here, and so's Dean...
Anyway, I think we're somewhere else.  I'm not getting the same underworldy vibe the last place gave off.

If you're out there let me know.

And if

And what, exactly, constitutes an 'underwordly vibe'?

[Video]

[hellsbellsharry]

Well... it feels dead, creepy, and kind off... off. It feels wrong.

( video )

[implemented]

An abandoned city, completely devoid of occupants. Save those that wake to find themselves in a morgue. [ His voice is placid, arguably even morbidly cheerful, though it's hard to tell whether Nigel's being genuinely odd or if he's simply the type to meet hardship with a dark sort of humor. ] That doesn't qualify as 'wrong' to you?

[Video]

[hellsbellsharry]

Oh it's wrong but it doesn't have the same vibe. It's just... empty.

And not exactly malicious.

Ah.

[ A pause, a consideration. Then more of that vague amusement. ]

So no brimstone, no pits of tormented souls.

[Video]

[hellsbellsharry]

Exactly.

Got a name, kid?

[implemented]

[ He doesn't exactly puff up at being called 'kid', but Nigel's a child of privilege - albeit a strange one - and English to boot. Propriety, manners, etc etc. ]

Nigel. Nigel Colbie. [ He lifts his eyebrows: and you? ]

[Video]

[hellsbellsharry]

I'm Harry Dresden, Nigel Colbie. Nice to meet you.

You doing okay?

[ The camera tilts on Nigel's end of the feed. Where he is exactly isn't wholly clear - it doesn't seem like the hospital, though. He seems to be in an aisle of some sort, the shelves on either side stocked with- the feed is too dim.

What is obvious is that he's managed to salvage some clothes. Something better than that paper shift or even those blue hospital scrubs. In fact, he looks quite well-put together. Button down shirt, jacket. Around his neck is an untied tie. ]

There are others I've seen who are worse for wear. I take it you haven't ventured out yet into the big, wide world.

[Well he was fast. Kid's resourceful at least.]

Same here and no. I want to at least gather some supplies since someone is staking a claim on this place.

It's never a good think when one guy has monopoly on a valuable resource.

[ Nigel's not one to dawdle unless he wants to. In fact, he acts only on the impulses he wishes to indulge at any given time which yields a wondrous amount of efficiency sometimes. But only sometimes. It also helps, having expected to be dead upon waking; shaves off a lot of time otherwise spent panicking.

He smiles in his odd, vaguely charming way. ]

Ah. Then I'm glad to have stocked up while I can. For what it's worth, don't bother with the eighth floor service station and supply closet in the west wing. [ Nigel tips his head towards something unseen off-camera. Turns out he's proven resourceful in that aspect as well. ] Do you really think someone can claim the entire facility?

[hellsbellsharry]

[Okay now that's getting creepy. ]

Clever man, Nigel. And I won't, thanks.

[A shrug. Harry's actually packing a bag as he speaks.]

Maybe. I don't know. I don't want to risk getting caught without anyway.

[ Creepy is definitely an accurate word in describing Nigel, yes. He is at least politely creepy. ]

It seems a bit pre-emptive to start stumbling into Lord of the Flies territory, though I suppose it can't be helped.

[Video]

[hellsbellsharry]

[Yeesh. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. Vampires for example can be politely creepy.]

I wouldn't call it that but I like to be prepared at least.

[ Good or bad definitely remains to be seen. Mostly because Nigel hasn't decided yet, either way.

His eyebrow once again ticks. ]

Have you medical knowledge?

[hellsbellsharry]

I know enough basic first aid to take care of some emergencies, and I've come into contact with a Nurse who definitely know's what she's doing.
