[Neil is standing near the fountain, watching the insanity of the crowded City unfold.]

So wait... what the hell is going on today?

...No one ever tells me anything.

[ooc: OPEN ACTION, DOUBLES WILL BE WELCOMED, SPOILERS FROM BEYOND MID-BOOK 4 (where this guy's from) ARE ALSO COOL TODAY. BASICALLY EVERYTHING IS OKAY. I'M EXCITED. =D
also: I will be trolling under my personal account, jeilovesyou. As myself. So... that's who that is. If you wondered. Hah.
also also: I KNOW I HAVE A MILLION AND ONE TAGS TO DO, I promise I'll get to it after I have my tea.
AAAAAAAAND ACTION!]

Maybe it's not important. Why don't you tell me everything?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Uh... tell you... what, exactly?

[h0ttiefromhell.livejournal.com]

Let's start with you telling me what'll it take to get a ice blended coffee and a few hours of your time.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Neil is seriously confused.]

...You want coffee?

[h0ttiefromhell.livejournal.com]

[He's not her type. But he's not bad. More importantly, he's here. She's hungry.]

I'd love some.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Uh... okay. I work at a café, so I can show you where that is if you want, I guess.

[h0ttiefromhell.livejournal.com]

Please do. I think it'd be cruddy to ask you about coffee then go some other place.

I'm Jennifer. Hi.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

'Kay. I'm Neil.

[He leads her, seeming detached, past the cathedral, dodging around rather a lot of passersby-- wow, the City is crowded today-- and when they round the music studio, he actually just points]

It's that place.

[And then he turns as if to leave.]

This is the day your best mates get to visit you.

Or your worst.

Whichever.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

What? Like, from back home?

[signatures]

That's right. Only on occasion, though - sometimes no one comes that you know at all.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Oh.

So like, all these people-- they're from everyone's home worlds or whatever?

[signatures]

I think it's more apt to say they're from a world - whether or not it's connected to the people here is a more or less factor.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

'Kay. Gotcha. That sounds like it could be kinda cool, but a lot of these people are, like... weird, though.

[signatures]

I'm of the opinion that most people are strange.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

...That's kind of a good point.

[signatures]

A very good one.

How are they, now?

[Video, a bit dark. The girl is wearing sunglasses and looks 16 at most. When she speaks, she has a Northern English accent.]

Well, it's simple, isn't it? Something dreadfully magical is occurring.

[4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com]

It is a curse! Duh!

Video; And just because I want to fuck with him...

[legislacerates.livejournal.com]

I do not think there is much to tell.

[She grins, shark-like and playful.]

You have a very... Decadent smell about you!

[h0ttiefromhell.livejournal.com]

[She follows. What kind of a guy is he exactly? There's this band thing going on or maybe he doesn't like haircuts. Tough call. He could be nice. Is he doing this because he thinks she's pretty or because she has boobs--decent boobs at that.]

Neil.

[Not so fast now. Jennifer takes a hold of his arm and gives it a squeeze.]

Aren't you going to have coffee with me?

[Jesus Christ, Jennifer. Are you honestly hungry again or is it because no one called you hot for five seconds.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Oh, she's touching him. That's... startling. Usually people of the female variety are very hands-off with him.]

Whoa.

[He stares at her hard, like he can't figure out if this is a joke or not.]

Am I going to...? Uh, like I said, I work here. So I'm kinda burned out on their coffee, to be honest. [A pause. His boss would be upset if he discouraged a potential customer.] N-not that it's bad or anything. It's really, really good. But, y'know, I'll pass.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Uhmm. Well, y'know. Pretty sure more than one person has tried to eat me today.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Magical how?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

A there-are-a-million-people-everywhere curse?
