[The feed clicks on.

... Honestly? Nothing strange here. This man, other than being attractive, seems normal. Other than the considerable lack of panic, of course.

Hard to imagine it, but he looks... warmly content. Satisfied perhaps.]

Well can't say this is the address I gave the cabbie but hey, I like adventures.

I'm gonna skip the newbie song and dance for a moment; anyone know where I can get something to eat? I'll get all worked up and loud later, can't panic on an empty stomach.

In the mood for fish, I'll make it worth the trip if someone shows up to show me around.

"Hah, I like your sanguine style, sir! Breath of fresh air. While Fayren is the place for fish, it may be a bit of a walk for an empty stomach. But if you can endure the trip, I think you'll find it worth the pilgrimage. May I have your name? Ah, I'm Ted. If you really like, I don't mind bringing my admittedly amateurish touring to bear."

[Cause the last time he toured one of these yahoos went sooo well]

[thegoodthief]

Fayren huh? How far away is that from here, Ted?

Hey, that's alright, I'll manage.

Name's Camael, nice to meet you.

[youfool]

"Let's see...if you walk as humanly as you look, you should reach the Fayren gate to the south in about half an hour. The town proceeds immediately from there; finding the fresh fish stalls shouldn't take too long, and cooking them not much longer. An hour to spare, then?"

[He doesn't know. Math wasn't his favorite subject.]

It's mutual! Do you know what that means? Ah, "Camael", that is, not uh, "mutual".

[thegoodthief]

Sounds good to me, I don't get stuck in the dinner rush.

Religious name, considering the 'ael'.

Cam could mean a whole bunch of stuff though, considerin' what phrase you're takin' it from.

I like the 'raised by God' interpretation myself.

[ You know, Tannusen had told himself he wasn't going to answer any more confused newbie videos today, having already done two, but... this one doesn't sound terribly confused. So, that's a start. Maybe it won't be the usual song and dance, then.

He clicks the video on on his end, where he's lounging back in his usual booth in the upstairs of Velvet Lust. Phone in hand, elbow propped up on the table. It's daylight out, and thus the place is empty; closed. No club music or flashing lights to drown him out or piss off the camera's focus.

Look, he got in a fight with an ambulance, today. He's earned just hanging out in his territory for a few hours browsing the internet.

In between sessions in the basement, of course. He's holding it together better today than he has lately.

...Probably because he got in a fight with an ambulance, let's be real. Faeries dig weird. ]

So let me get this straight. You just woke up here, in that dumb pod thing, probably splashed your way through all that annoying water... and now you want fish? I hope it's because you're really suggestible, and not because you're some new 'cat person' that I'll have to ignore on principle.

[ Honestly. That type's always going on about fish. ]

I mean it. One dumb meow and I'm hanging up, immediately.

Re: Video

[thegoodthief]

Sounds like you've had a day over there.

Nah, I just like seafood. It actually just reminded me I wanted lunch while I was out.

[black_black_heart]

Nope, just tired of a reoccurring type of newbie.

[ He can have his undignified moments, sure. But he's not... that shit. ]

So what I'm getting here is you're either used to this kind of thing, or you're still in shock.

Gotcha.

[thegoodthief]

I'm something, alright.

Hey if you want, I can wave my arms around a bit.

Can't really promise too much screaming.

[captain_by_the_book]

[ That's a very calm newbie, Cassian likes it.

Also, good priorities. ]

I believe they're having crab special at the Velvet Lust, but if you want proper fish dishes I'd recommend Fayren.

[thegoodthief]

So I've heard! Guess I'll just have to do a culinary tour of the whole place, huh?

[captain_by_the_book]

Just be careful of Everglade cuisine. [ He halts, rethinks. It's not good to assume. ] If you're wishing to avoid human meat, that is.

[thegoodthief]

Got a bad case of cannibals over there?

[legendaryoutlawstar_lord]

Just gotta say - I don't know you, and I don't know where to find fish, but you have good priorities sir. Peter Quill - known in some circles as Star-Lord.

Glad I'm not the only one who woke up here hungry.

[thegoodthief]

Nice to meet you, Peter.

Star-Lord huh? Man, what'd you do to get such a fancy title?

[legendaryoutlawstar_lord]

You too.

Would you believe I'm just that awesome?

[thegoodthief]

I could believe it, brother.

You know, just got told of a pretty nice Mexican food stand outside a hospital around here. Apparently they got fish tacos.

You up for a bite?

[ The dashing young man on the other end of the feed seems intrigued and smiles as it initializes. ]

I can't say I've had a proper fish in some time. I'd be happy to join you. [ He inclines his head. ] Dorian Pavus.

Re: video;

[thegoodthief]

[And the man on the other side smiles back, bright and cheerful]

Hey, anything tastes better with company.

Camael, nice to meet you, Dorian.

[tevinteraltus]

[ He chuckles. ]

Indeed it does. The pleasure's mine, Camael. Where will I find you?

[livable]

This is going to sound weird, but there's a food truck that visits outside of the hospital that's got great Mexican and they happen to have fish tacos.

[ She's not the best person to recommend food honestly, but she's heard her coworkers agree with her that it's a really good food truck. ]

Re: video;

[thegoodthief]

Fish tacos? You have my ear, where's the hospital?

[livable]

Genessia City, Elder and 19th, and it should be here for about another hour and fifteen minutes.

I hope late is okay...

[clevermind]

[There is a lot that he'd said that is unfamiliar to Belle but there is no time like the present to learn more.]

I only know Genessia proper but I'd be happy to walk around with you. I showed up a few weeks before now.

I do know of a place that has something called a fish sandwich.

[She's been trying new things.]

I WIN THE LATE CONTEST

[thegoodthief]

Yeah?

Sounds like a treat to me, where would you like to meet, miss?

<3

[clevermind]

Do you know where the library is? It's just west of the bay area.

[If he doesn't then she'd want to show him the library anyway.]

There is a beautiful park near there as well.
