1 || night || video/teneka || that old black magic

[pokesandprods]

[Someone is more than happy to be here, considering his circumstances.  Alastair would be humming if anyone could actually hear it.]

Well.  I'm not in Kansas anymore.

[He scrutinizes the PORTAL, smiling blithely into the video feed.  The fact that he can't speak doesn't appear to bother him.  Telepathy between high-level demons is fairly standard,

action GET BACK MOTHERFUCKER YOU DON'T KNOW ME LIKE THAT

[iwasason]

I doubt introductions are necessary.

[It's been a long time, but he's still the same old demon.]

action HEY MAN YOU'RE THE ONE ALL UP IN MY GRILL

[pokesandprods]

[Oh, my. What a delicious surprise. If he sounds delighted, it's because he is.]

...and you are the last person I expected to see here. How are things, Lucifer?

action WHY YOU ALL IN MY EAR

[iwasason]

Well- [He flippantly indicates the room and the world at large] I'm here. But I walk the Earth. I daresay that should answer your question well enough.

action BECAUSE YOU LOVE THE SULTRY SOUND OF MY VOICE~

[pokesandprods]

[Alastair tips his head to one side, considering this. All right, so they're not on a Five-Star Cruise. Nor are they in Hell.

Hell smells better than this.]

From what I've - ah - gathered, this is not the type of afterlife we know and love.

[He takes a deep breath, exhaling slowly and with a certain satisfaction before adding a lazy observation:]

...Sam killed me.

teneka; DON'T MIND HER she's just a sweetheart (immortal) ex-torture victim.

[itaidakimasu]

This should help explain at least a few things.

{Sending PromGuide.doc}

teneka; WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME, SWEETHEART.

[pokesandprods]

Mmmm.

[He hums in intrigue.]

This looks...

[Like it was a pain in the ass to put together.]

...useful.

teneka; she's already been under the knife once here :c

[itaidakimasu]

It definitely saves time.

teneka; Knives are so last year. Scalpels are all the rage now.

[pokesandprods]

[A dry, throaty chuckle.]

...I'll be sure to make good use it.

[Rarely is he incompetent at anything he sets his mind to, so. There you have it.]

video/teneka; throwing her at all the terrible people

[lunardancing]

Welcome to Promenade.

video/teneka; Shame on you. And with his reputation, too.

[pokesandprods]

So I hear.

[Alastair sounds amused.]

You're all just so hospitable.

video/teneka; but that is what makes it fun!

[lunardancing]

Is that a bad thing?

[ HEADTILT OF CURIOUS ]

video/teneka

[pokesandprods]

Where I come from, my dear, the hospitality is...less than conventional.

[video/teneka]

[cyprian_swan]

Oh my~ Someone new! Greetings, love. I am Aphrodite.

[video/teneka]

[pokesandprods]

[Oh, well. Color him intrigued. Someone from the good old days. Alastair used to punish mortals under instructions from the gods.

But that was a loooooooooooong time ago.]

I thought I smelled red anemone.

[video/teneka]

[cyprian_swan]

It is a lovely scent, is it not?

[She's still kicking, doll~]

[video/teneka]

[pokesandprods]

[Looking as beautiful as ever, one might add.

Burnt flesh is his preferred potpourri, but he nods.]

Aaaand how have the years been treating you?

video/teneka; guess who loves poking the demons?

[raggedydoc]

Hello! I'm the Doctor, since, you know, you asked for introductions and all. Somebody's probably filled you in already - apparently we've got guides now. The textual kind, not the sort that lead you around by the hand and tell you useless facts about the city, though that would be interesting.

video/teneka; Is it the Doctor? I bet it's the Doctor.

[pokesandprods]

I don't know if I'd have the patience to walk everywhere like that.

[Alastair smiles. The skinny fellow is boisterously entertaining.]

I'm Alastair.

video/teneka; iiiiit might be! :D

[raggedydoc]

A bit of fresh air is always nice - on the down side, you can't exactly trust anything a native tells you about the city. Which is really just like every other tour, I suppose, only potentially more deadly. [pause, he's been on some pretty deadly tours] Depending on the holiday, that is.

Mm. You remind me of an...acquaintance of mine. [read: he's been creepin' on your other conversations and sees through those mannerisms of yours. mainly the latter.]

video/teneka; I KNEW IT.

[pokesandprods]

An acquaintance of yours?

[CREEPERFRIENDS? Sign him up!]

I've been informed of...hmmm some of what goes on around here. [A wry smile.] You're not a normal human being, are you?
