[combatmagic]

So I've tried going up, sideways, over water, underground, and through places most people don't know exist and looks like I'm stuck here with you crazy lot for the time being. This is magic tougher and older than I can recognize and that's fucking saying something, but it does mean that nobody I know set it up. Kind of a win/lose situation if you

You're in a place called the City. Sort of a nexus of realities and dimensions. This should explain more.

[ooc: Pretend I linked to the guide.]

[combatmagic]

Shit, they've got everything here, haven't they? Thanks, mate.

[dresden4hire]

They do, just about. You just missed the zombie attack and all the running and beheading and biting from that.

[combatmagic]

Zombies do tend to make a mess pretty quick. I'll consider myself lucky I was late to the party, then.

'Uncle Bill'?

Welcome to the City, sunshine.

[combatmagic]

William Gravel, if you'd rather.

Thanks, hen, though you understand if I'd rather be elsewhere at the moment.

[1inageneration]

Hen. Wow. What era are you from?

I think we'd all rather be elsewhere right now. Except for me

[combatmagic]

2008, last time I checked.

And yet, looks like a lot of people aren't spending any time trying to get out.

[eiremagic]

Through blood?

Let me save you the trouble, that doesn't work either.

[combatmagic]

You've tried, then.

[eiremagic]

I've tried.

[combatmagic]

Your own or someone else's?

[unhexed]

I recommend Lux, for the liquor.

I'd say "welcome," but I know it's not quite appropriate.

[combatmagic]

Right, and where would that be?

Hmn, well, I've walked into worse places.

[unhexed]

It's Overground, around the center of the City--it's all centered around that carousel. There's a big sign on the front, two-story building.

You missed the zombies, at least.

[combatmagic]

Thanks, love. Nothing like a good pale ale to settle a man in a nexus of time and space.

So I've been told.

[passionforshoes]

You are so not my uncle.

[combatmagic]

I'd say that's pretty obvious.

[passionforshoes]

Good. So I'll be sticking with just Bill.

[combatmagic]

That's fine with me. And what should I call you?
