1; Mostly Dead

Mar 13, 2007 14:15

So this is death? Or the afterlife? Underworld? Hm? I think I'm lost for words, but only because I don't know of one that combines 'dull' and 'irksome' as well as I'd like.

Hm...

I wonder if Bartimaeus is here. That'd be fitting.

Actually, this is the City, and you--

You...

...Bartimaeus?

only1500 March 13 2007, 19:35:17 UTC

Oh, god. Another city. Just when I got out of London.

Yes. He goes by Sakhr al-Jinni sometimes, and some other ones, if that rings any bells.

kittyjones March 13 2007, 19:39:14 UTC

The City, if you want to be technical, but-- London? You were in...

Bartimaeus. About 5000. Bit on the sarcastic side. Tends to be a little full of himself. Mentions speaking with Solomon a lot. Prefers the form of Ptole a young Egyptian boy.

...That Bartimaeus?

The City, then. Creative name.

The very one. You summoned him, I take it?

Queezle?!

Perhaps the word you're searching for is tedious?

only1500 March 13 2007, 20:19:06 UTC

I knew it.

Well, that'd sum up the ticking quite nicely, if anything.

djinni_tricks March 13 2007, 20:23:03 UTC

Oh yes, the ticking. That goes away once you have someone to be around.

only1500 March 13 2007, 20:27:50 UTC

Then I'll have to get out of the underground before I lose my mind...

You been here long, Bartimaeus?

Another djinni, I take it. I thought I could sense a new arrival.

only1500 March 13 2007, 22:18:45 UTC

You'd be right, there.

You're the one with the girl and bottle in one hand, I'd take it?

natty_boy March 13 2007, 22:19:48 UTC

Excuse me?

only1500 March 13 2007, 22:24:09 UTC

Knew Bartimaeus was fibbing. He does that, see.

That means you're Mandrake, then?

It is death for some, myself included. For others, it is not.

...You have already spoken with Kitty and Rekhyt, I see.

((OOC: Eeeeeee. ^^))

only1500 March 14 2007, 00:26:24 UTC

You-... you must be Ptolemy.

I have. They're rather nice.

[ooc Ah-ha! My internet is back :D!]

i_am_ptolemy March 14 2007, 00:46:26 UTC

I am. It is a pleasure to meet another from my world...what shall I call you?

They are. This city has brought here only the more favourable members of our world, it seems.

only1500 March 14 2007, 00:49:51 UTC

Ah- You can call me Queezle, sir.

Yes, we're lucky.
