[The watch is recording a pale gentleman step off the train, wearing a lab coat and glancing around confused. Eyes settle on the watch quickly and he picks it up with practiced caution, no one would notice it though
( Read more... )
[Gil is just paranoid enough to think OH GOD IT'S SOMEONE AS PALE AS I AM OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE A VAMPIRE AND THEY ARE GOING TO KILL ME AND I AM GOING TO DIE before he realizes, no, that's probably stupid. And, anyway, he shivered! Vampires don't shiver. Obviously, everything is totally fine.]
[He's yet to notice the zombies, too. ...He's a hermit and doesn't go outside much and it's not like there's been many posts about it at this point, okay.]
I think "kidnapped" is a better choice than "lost." Do you say, "Excuse me, I seem to have misplaced my wallet," to the police after being mugged, too? [Because obviously the best way to greet a newcomer is with deadpan snark. Obviously.]
Well, there's even less reason to kidnap a college drop out that works three jobs so they can pay for their apartment, but here I am. I don't think they really care about choosing logical victims.
[To greet a newcomer or to not greet a newcomer... Well, he can sympathize with the confusion at least and it's not like he has much else to do, so...]
That seems to be what most people are doing, yeah.
[Not that he would know. The streets are much more comfortable..]
... Should probably be careful. Something's going on again. [Just a friendly warning- Of course he doesn't have firsthand experience with the creatures out there himself, considering how he's been staying up high, but from what he's heard...]
[Morrigan eyes the watch, arching an eyebrow at the newcomer. Remembering her manners, she speaks up.] You can claim an empty house or apartment. I suggest you do so quickly, as there's a threat to city. Unless you enjoy zombies or something. If that's the case, then by all means, enjoy yourself fully.
[With a quick growl, an energy blast is fired downward and off camera at something. Sighing, Morrigan rights herself and continues to glide in the air.] All of that nastiness aside, my name is Morrigan, welcome to the city.
[Lavi's face appears on the video screen grinning in something a bit like grim amusement.]
Nope, you're not at home, I'm sorry to say. Really, you're taking this better than most. Be careful though. The, ah, streets aren't as friendly as they normally are.
[A pause.] You might want to make your way to the library. It's stocked for the newcomers if they need a place to crash before they find a spot of their own.
How remarkably rational. [And now Lavi grins at him genuinely.]
I can. [Insert directions here.] Like I said though. The streets are currently not friendly. There are ah... creatures intent on well, if not killing then at least outright maiming. Do you need an escort? Not everyone who shows up on that train is good at self defense, after all.
An escort would be appreciated but I hate to put anyone at risk something like that. I'm sure I can find a safe route there, thanks to your directions.

[Pause as Carlisle eyes the door to the station.]
They're literally being attacked by the reanimated dead?

[He'd like to see one of them try to bite him.]

I've never been mugged and it would be very difficult for someone to kidnap me. There'd be little reason to kidnap a doctor from such a small town.
[Carlisle can be patient. He's had three hundred years to work on his patience.]

... Most of the houses are open to be claimed.

[Oh well... that's different. Carlisle makes a mental note not to get on her bad side after that.] A pleasure Morrigan, I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen.

The library, could you give me directions?
