[Action/Video]

[The man who stumbles out of the caves looks a little worse for wear. His shirt is covered with something that might be dried blood and his hair is mussed and dirty. His hands are shaking and he looks around confused His voice is a harsh rasp and he looks ready for trouble.]

Merlin.....where am I now? Am I dead? Is it finally over?

Gee, mac, ya look like ya met da wrong end of a train goin' south.

[Percy looks at the rabbit and doesn't seem surprised at all by him. After all he knows elves and fairies personally]

You wouldn't be wrong on that count.

Well hate ta tell ya, but I don't tin yer dead.

[not here anyways.]

did ya listen to the lady yammerin' away when ya woke up?

[Percy shakes his head if trying to clear it.]

I heard some of it yes...but I've been through a rough patch so not everything got through I think.

[Eh, fair enough. The guy did look like he'd fought a lawn mower and lost.]

Alright kid, this is what I got from dat dame. Dis place is called Genessia. It ain't your world and it ain't mine. Aside that, eh, it's like any other place. Big ol' city, lotta maroons walkin' around.

[Ten is running some errands or maybe just getting out of his office - who knows. When he spots the other talking in a raspy voice - which he hears from far away but raspy voices are rarely ever good and runs over. Which is then when he spots the dried blood on the other. Cue the sympathetic brown eyes]

I'm sorry. I'm so, so, sorry.

If you are dead... You're not dead here.

[Percy shakes his head and holds up a hand to put some space between himself and the stranger]

I'm not sure if I was dead or not.....

[Ten stops in a spot and it clicks - some critical moment or rather second before having been pulled here]

Have you gotten any answers about where you are?

Some...not enough to suit but I understand where I am and that I'm free now.

Whut needs clearing up?

[Which earns a curious look]

Why were you imprison?

What sort of place is this...some call it hell some not.

[Graves frowns.]

I don't know.....I was in the way...I think...and yet he didn't kill me.

[A deep inhale]

Depends on how you define Hell.

If anything Genessia offers you a fresh start. Downside is to some - you're stuck here for an unknown period of time.

[Ten does an 'ew' face; because there are fates worse than not dying]

[Graves shrugs.]

It can't be worse here then it was there.

One hopes it's better. Maybe more understanding.

[Graves raises an amused eyebrow.]

You seem so sure.

[Nightmares are difficult to escape, aren't they. Gellert is much younger this time and he looks almost normal except for the wild gleam in his eyes.]

Is what finally over?

[Percy gives this man a wary look. He has never been a trusting soul at the best of times, but now it's worse.]

My imprisonment.

[Understandably so! Percival hasn't been treated kindly by this Dark Wizard.]

Why were you imprisoned?

[Percy is really wishing he had his wand right now but dammit Gellet had taken it and used it and Merlin he needed it in his hand. Wandless magic was fine but there was nothing like having your own wand in hand.]

War....someone wanted to start a war.

[The Elder wand is so much better. Let him tell you of its wonders, Percival. Then again, that would require him revealing that he has it. That would be rash and stupid.]

That is hardly a rarity. [He watches the other man, intrigued.] Are you a Wizard?

[Percy meets the other man's eye and nods once. American wizards are a bit more standoffish then their British counterparts because duh Salem made them smart, but he has no reason to think the man would use the words he does without being a wizard himself.]

Yes. And you?

Of course. [He smiles slowly, warmly. Gellert likes all of those who are Magically gifted. If this man found himself on the wrong side of a war, that makes him extremely interesting.]

There are other Wizards here too, so you shouldn't feel too alone.

Did you run into some trouble?

[Is now a bad time? Too bad.]

It's actually under.

[Graves, never a fan of trickster characters fixes the cat with a hard look]

I have no time for games.

You have all the time in this world now that you're here.

I have a feeling like you knew what I actually meant by that.

Words mean what the speaker chooses them to mean. No one else ever really knows.

[He's always relatively cheerful when talking to new faces, but his ears definitely perk when he hears 'Merlin' being used as an expletive -- another wizard?]

I don't think you're dead. Or you aren't if you weren't before.

You're in a place called Genessia now. It's rather confusing, but it's relatively safe, as I understand it.

[Graves looks up and fixes the man with a hard stare. For various reasons he doesn't trust people and there is something too easy about this man.,]

When the world is at war no where is safe.

I would agree, but this world isn't. At least, there's no war that anyone's spoken of or shown since I've arrived. It's peaceful, if nothing else.

War doesn't have to show itself to be there.

[A veteran of the magical side of the Great War, Percy speaks with firm belief and understanding. Even bloodied and mentally beaten he manages to cling to his dignity and draws himself up so he can stare the man down.]

Peace can still hide evil.

Perhaps. [If Graves is trying to stare him down, Dumbledore doesn't seem to notice, acting just as friendly and calm as ever.] If nothing else, there is certainly darkness in kidnapping people to fill a city. But there is no open conflict or violence that I've seen so far.

You're alive, mister. What happened to you?

[Here, Graves. Have a boy who looks no more than 8-9 years old looking up at you.]

Edited (forgot part of my tag!) 2018-08-10 00:51 (UTC)

Yes, it's over. You are in the afterlife.

[If only for a moment he was a troll really.]

But in seriousness. This is Genessia and for all I know you could have actually died, so what I said before would... be accurate.

[Just passing though- totally didn't see you, Mr.Graves. If that really is you or if that's Grindleward as Graves. Either way - don't see you. Gonna turn the corner even if you may have seen a fuzzy-haired person with a familiar briefcase.]
