[OOC: Yes, I'm still alive, though some days are more indicative of this than others. Anyway! This is as much to see which characters I still have voices for as to see which characters people are interested in interaction with. No need to migrate accounts for pups I can't/won't play, after all! Please indicate as best you can who you're tagging.]

Comments

Agnes, please!

[scots_wolf]

Urquhart is leaning against a pillar and eating dates.

He gives no indication of having noticed Agnes, but he has. And is wondering whatever it is she is drinking.

[witchoftwominds]

One thing about watching people, at least for witches: one gets a keen sense of when one is being watched in return. Particularly when being watched by someone one has spoken to before.

Agnes nods politely to Urquhart and offers him a slight smile.

[scots_wolf]

Urquhart comes over, having been officially noticed by the witch from Moist's world.

"Your drink," he says, instead of a greeting, "smells of apples."

[witchoftwominds]

Agnes can't decide if he's telling her this because he thinks she doesn't know, because he wants to impress her with his olfactory senses, or because it's a custom on his world to state something obvious in lieu of a greeting. So she decides to play it safe in her response.

"Yes. It rather does."

Agnes Nitt

[starrydome]

One of the people being watched now approaches the Bar to order - and ends up next to her.

He is very tall, very regal, very well-dressed, long-haired - and pointy-eared.

He gives her a polite smile as he orders - something warm and spicy. He is also trying to make out the components of her drink based on the olfactory indicators. There seems to be apple in it. Well, some apple anyway.

[witchoftwominds]

Agnes freezes briefly when she catches that smile. She knows what this one is -- the Fair Folk have a vibe about them no matter the universe. And being noticed by an... elf -- even thinking the word is hard -- is does not generally work out very well for the one being noticed.

Still, she returns the smile with a polite nod, and tries very hard not to crawl out of her skin.

[starrydome]

And being centuries old - and quite legendary in one's own world - means that one gets better at noticing little things. Tell-tale signs. Even when people smile politely.

And this being Milliways, Valar only knows what she thinks he might do.

He takes a sip of his spicy wine and says, in his pleasant barytone, "Well-met lady."

One does not, after all, launch straight into assurances that one is not intending to tear the clothes off of other people present. It would not necessarily be reassuring.

[witchoftwominds]

It's not so much her clothes that she's afraid will be torn off as it is her skin. The Fair Folk were ever so fond of wearing human-made leathers.

Still, 'well met' was better than 'ill met'. "Good evening to you."

Quorra

[a1enzo]

Enzo's eye is first caught by the stack of books-because that is a pretty big stack-but it keeps sliding back to the young woman reading them. She looks like a User at first, but certain details are... off. Or rather, not off when they usually are.

Pardon his staring.

[isodynamic]

Quorra looks up from her current book (Things Fall Apart), and notices that she's being watched. She smiles shyly, and then drops her eyes back down to the table, looking for her drink.

[a1enzo]

That's...

"That's an energy drink," he blurts.

[isodynamic]

"Is that what it's called? I just asked the Bar if she had anything I could ingest, and this is what she gave me."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Daddy, why has that man got bread with a hole in?" a small boy asks, pointing at the Doctor's bagel.

"That's a bagel." Guppy says. "It's like a doughnut but not sweet."

[thedoctorwho]

This particular example of the breed was his favorite, which is why he'd gone back and bought a second one to save for later. At the moment, though, the thought of eating one more bagel was slightly less desirable than... well, than anything else he could come up with at the moment.

"And much chewier than a doughnut, as well," he adds with a nod and a grin. "But that's part of the appeal."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Can I have one please?" Fry asks.

Guppy gets him one from the bar and breaks it into smaller bits.

"I'm Guppy, this is Fry." he says to the doctor. "Nice to meet you."

[thedoctorwho]

"I'm the Doctor. Nice to meet you both as well." He gives Fry's hair a little ruffle.

The Doctor

[tyler_marlocke]

So in a bar that has the grandest source of weirdness and oddities, no one really notices the perfectly normal looking human lad in the jacket at a booth...

...making random items on the table disappear and reappear as he touches them. Like that large tooth that was there a second ago, or the pair of gauntlets that just popped up.

[thedoctorwho]

In the Doctor's experience, the perfectly normal looking ones are exactly the ones you want to watch. So he can't help but notice, and he definitely can't help fishing out the sonic and scanning that direction to see if the disappearing objects are being cloaked, teleported, phased, or dismantled.

Professional curiosity.

[tyler_marlocke]

They're being...stored. In the lad's jacket pockets, there's something in those pockets he's using to store the items.

The gauntlets disappear, replaced with a stack of comicbooks, and then a little device, which promptly emits a loud beep at appearing so suddenly.

[thedoctorwho]

Well, now. That's certainly something the Doctor is quite familiar with. He manages -- just barely -- to resist tinkering with the storing mechanism. At least, until he introduces himself.

"Nice trick you've got there," he observes after closing the distance to the young man.
