[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!]

[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.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Magical how?

[truculentsoul.livejournal.com]

[Pout. And then affected mysteriousness.] Oh, well, I imagine things such as that mightn't be so obvious to one who is not as attuned to mystic energies as I am.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

'Attuned to mystic energies'... That sounds cool. How does that work?

[truculentsoul.livejournal.com]

[She puts her fingers to her temples.] The Spirits talk to me. But I can say no more. [She stops trying to sound so lofty.] I'll tell you my name, if you'll tell me yours.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[That gets a smile, and a slow-nod.] Sweeeeeeeet.

Uh, I'm Neil.

[truculentsoul.livejournal.com]

[Wide smile, but with her lips closed.] I'm Appleby Mennym. You may have heard of my career in fashion. [He's safe, he's American or Canadian or something.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Uh... I'm not really a fashion... guy. Are you like, famous or something?

[truculentsoul.livejournal.com]

Oh, very. [She frames her face diagonally with both her hands, thumb and forefinger.] What sort of guy are you if you're not a fashion guy? [Not rude...for once. Just questioning.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Uh... games, mostly? I like games.

[truculentsoul.livejournal.com]

[Her voice sounds like she's raised her eyebrows. Because her sunglasses are too big to see them.] Do you mean you're a gamer?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yup!

[And you get an over-enthusiastic grin, like he's much more proud of this than he should be.]

[truculentsoul.livejournal.com]

World of Warcraft? [...you are losing her, here.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, totally, WoW's cool. I'm more into hand-to-hand fighters, though. And regular RPGs, without the online content. And real-time strategy.

[Neil loses most people. It's a talent of his.]

[truculentsoul.livejournal.com]

Right.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Sorry. Sometimes I shouldn't say words. I'll... shut up now.

[truculentsoul.livejournal.com]

You might be better like that. [But she relents.] I'm not a gamer. But I have played games. Sometimes. I'm just generally busy with other things. I'm really good at Rock Band.
