(Mura is in a recliner chair in the main room, sunglasses over her eyes, overall looking swank)

...Zzzzzzz...

(...okay, maybe if you discount her Snoring)

-There's a loud crackling just outside the room, gradually increasing in volume until there's a thunderclap and then a thud-

...Mmmmmgh...

(Mura grumbles, cupping her hands over her ears at the sound of thunder)

Jus' lemme sleep, I earned this...

-There's silence for a few moments, then the front door opens and a rather imposing man in a long coat steps through the door-

Wasn't really expectin' that one...

(by the time The New Man has walked through the door, Mura's woken up and removed her shades)

Hey, you hear anything about a thunderstorm outside? Sounds like some form of magecraft, whoever caused it must've been a little inconsiderate of their surroundings.

(what a passive-aggressive friendly smile she's wearing)

Wasn't intending on being a bother, that was just a bit of an accident. But either way, sorry about that. I can only imagine how... unusual it must be to hear that on a clear day.

-The guy's smiling up a storm himself, not put off in the least-

...Meh. Don't worry about it, I've woken up to worse around here.

(shrug)

So what was that? Teleportation spell, lightning attack gone wrong, a bit of both?

Both or neither. Depends on how you look at it.

-Shifts his shoulders a little bit, folding his arms-

This time, I was trying to go somewhere. Just didn't end up where I wanted, but that's alright. It wasn't urgent.

I'm guessing you've got the "where" down, right? Where you are now, I mean.

Nope! I don't have a clue. From the looks of it, I managed to fuck it up pretty good. Doesn't even look close.

Hah! Well, least you're more receptive than most.

(stands up)

Basically, think of this place as a backwater dimensional crossroads. Grand total of like fifty people here, tops, all from different stripes.

...Hah! Alright then. Sounds like a thorny mess to me.

-Fiddles with a strap across his coat, as if to make sure it's still attached right-

Not that I really mind! Bizarre things aren't much of a bother to me.

#1319813: Jun 15th 2018 at 2:02:46 PM

Not a bad attitude. I mean, you're stuck here, but what can ya do? Is how I like to think about it.

I could always fuck around and go back the way I came, but I'm liable to end up in the middle of a big pool of lava or some other godforsaken wilderness or a warzone. No, I'm just fine here. It looks quiet enough from where I'm standing, and that suits me just fine.

Like the way you think. Teleportation's a double-edged sword where the back edge is sharper, y'know?

Yeah, I guess you're right about that. Serves me right for not wanting to walk, eh?

-Chuckles a little bit to himself-

foxmccloud4387 Since: Mar, 2011
#1319817: Jun 15th 2018 at 2:13:54 PM

So what do I got the pleasure of calling you?

#1319818: Jun 15th 2018 at 2:19:59 PM

Hah, a pleasure? You flatter me.

My name's Varace. And what might I have the pleasure of calling you?

foxmccloud4387 Since: Mar, 2011
#1319819: Jun 15th 2018 at 2:20:34 PM

(smiles back)

Muramasa. Though friends call me Mura.

Oh, that'd be a little hasty, wouldn't it? I only met you, what, a couple minutes ago?

-Flashes a doofy grin-

foxmccloud4387 Since: Mar, 2011
#1319821: Jun 15th 2018 at 2:26:37 PM

Fine, have it your way, Varace. Muramasa's more formal anyhow.

(given her chuckle, though, Mura's clearly just having fun)

Oh, I don't actually mind either way. I was just pulling your leg, it's not something I'm used to hearing. Most people I know are very particular about their names. Honorable sorts, if you know what I mean.

foxmccloud4387 Since: Mar, 2011
#1319823: Jun 15th 2018 at 2:43:40 PM

Oh, like the "who gave you permission to call me Fred, you will be executed for this" type?

Executed, no. They're not bloodthirsty barbarians. They'll just get offended if you make some innovations. I'm not a stickler like them, mind you! It's just what I've gotten accustomed to.

(puts a hand on her hip, amused)

What kind of innovation, huh?
