Looking for something?

[desert_blade]

*Turns surprised, one hand dropping to his waist* Ah, you startled me. I was looking for some of my colleagues, they like to be where these so called supernatural events take place. So I thought I might be able to find something here and surprise them.

[desert_blade]

*He looks back to the book before sighing and closing it* But since I've had no luck finding them. I don't suppose you could help? We often meet up to role play and try and get new people to join as a group we call ourselves "Medji" because we mostly play Egyptian styles. Have you heard of a group like that?

(ooc: i'm effing sorry. LJ never sent me a notification that you'd replied to Will. I won't be on much longer tonight, but I'll tag you and then get started. I don't know why LJ ate my notification, but i'll bookmark this thread in case it happens again and check it from time to time; will ignore your other comment since it looks like it was only there to spur a response from Will and just go from here if it's okay with you)

*Will does a quick threat-assessment, takes in the "concealed" weapon, and puts on his best comforting smile*

*tilts his head* Don't suppose you could define "supernatural" for me? It's a pretty broad term that runs the whole spectrum, but I'll be glad to help in any way I can.

his *eyes search a beyond the surface* Will Zimmerman. I'm a doctor and you seem like a guy every bit as much in need of help as you are of obscure historical references...

*Shakes head and moves hand to rest on the table* Ardeth Bay, I guess you could say that.

*Noting his smile* The dangerous kind *He slowly reveals the handle before recovering the cloak" but more specifically egyptian.

I don't think I could return in any case. The underworld is not meant to be escaped and that is what it will look like if I return. The Medjai were the Pharaohs bodyguards we are never to touch magic.

Not really this has been keeping the alley's safe enough to sleep and hiding keeps me unnoticed for now. I've been counting myself lucky that the money I had on me could be exchanged for money here.

(ooc: Sorry, didn't catch this right away because you replied to your own post instead of to my comment: i'm getting very good at leaving you hanging, lol)

[The underworld? What is it with me and the undead this week? Magnus is going to start thinking I'm some kind of necro or something.]

Okay, well, we can get you set up in a safe-house until you can find yourself a job. On that note, my boss might have work for you. Never hurts to have an extra person with mad combat-skills kicking around.

*sighs* Still, you just had to be dead...

[desert_blade]

(ooc: Don't worry about it.)

Oh don't worry I'm not dead *thinks about it for a minute* yet. Anyway a safe-house would be nice and since you've helped me I think it's only fair I help you if you need it.

[w_zimmerman]

Well, "not dead" is definitely something.

We'll go ahead and get you set up in a safe-house, but I don't want you feeling like you automatically owe us anything. That's not how we operate. Helping people is not contingent upon them assisting us down the road. It's just what we do. We'll take care of you, Mr. Bay.
