1st Deal - [video/audio/action]

[powerguy]

[Hey, City! Do you think it's been a while since you've had a new recruit? Then today might be your lucky day. The video feed opens to a dark haired man passed out on the concrete beside the fountain. He stirs slowly, a hand coming up to cradle his head as he peers around him, slowly taking in surroundings. He’s fairly young, dressed in jeans and an expensive-looking blue hoodie. Half a tattoo can be see curling around his neck from under his collar. He pushes himself up onto one hand, the other still clutching his head. He still has a bewildered look on his face, although if that's from being dumped into a strange place or just is default state is soon to be discovered. When he speaks, it’s with a fairly strong Manchester accent.]

Kelly? Guys?

[With a groan, he pushes himself up onto his feet. He notices the device out of the corner of his eye. Mistaking it for his cellphone, he picks it up and flicks through it.]

Where the fuck is signal in this place?

[He scratches the back of his neck with his free hand as he keeps moving the phone around, looking for signal. He sighs and punches a number into the device and hits enter, inadvertently switching to audio.]

Kelly? Where are you? I don’t think I know where I am. Call me, yeah?

[The feed ends.]

[ooc: New guy alert! Go get 'em, City. Action for anyone near the fountain.]

No Kellys here, mate. Trust me. I've been looking out.

[Oh. A video call. He wasn't sure people ever actually used that. He switches his on.]

Sorry?

[designedtoparty]

[You started it, Seth. :|]

I said there's no Kellys. As in there's no one called Kelly. Would you like me to repeat that more slowly?

[video]

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

I had worked that bit out, yeah. I think my phone keeps calling the wrong number.

[video]

[designedtoparty]

Yeah, probably because that isn't your phone.

[pause]


I think I know what my phone looks like, mate.

[video]

[designedtoparty]

Well, obviously you don't.

This is your network thing. I think most people here call it a device, or something.

[Another new face. Oh, dear. And don't mind the slightly bored tone in Charlie's voice. She's had a very annoying weekend.] I don't think there's anyone named Kelly, here.

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

Must have the wrong number, then. Sorry.

[Why is his phone suddenly acting weird?]

audio-to-video:

[charring]

[She really should just leave it at that. Charlie can't, however. Guy sounds distressed. She can't ignore that. She switches to video.] Big favor. Take a look around. Recognize anything? Shop names? Landmarks?

'course I don't. I've never seen this place before. Is this a powers thing? I don't usually need demonstrations.

video;

[charring]

No. It's not a powers thing. It's a 'City that can kidnap people from anywhere and any-when' thin.

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

Sorry?

[A whole new City? If this is a power, it's one he wants to get his hands on...]

[signatures]

Lost, are we?

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

Apparently.

[signatures]

We all are to start out, anyway.

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

So I've been told. I'm not sure I quite believe it yet.

[signatures]

We can wait for you to get over your denial.

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

I might believe it more if it was a better story.

[ 'Sup, Seth! Alisha doesn't know you because her mun is a dickhead the last thing she remembers is Curtis punching the shit out of Milk Boy. She rolls her eyes. ]

There is no signal in this place because we're not exactly in a place that has signals. [ Dumbass. ] Just curses and fucking dickheads.

[ This is why she doesn't do the welcome wagon business. ]

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

[total dickhead]




Alisha?

[awkwards]

[ Yep. :c

Yeah ... [ Either Nathan has said something and described her in pitch perfect detail, or ... The second option doesn't even occur to her. Time travel is Simon's shit, not hers. ]

And you are?

[ Sorry, Seth. ]

video;

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

You're one of Kelly's mates.

[Come on, he's not that forgettable.]

video;

[awkwards]

Kelly's one of my best mates. What of it?

[ He's hot, she'll give him that. But she likes her men pasty and a bit short. And starey. ]

Are you Kelly's boyfriend?

[ She doesn't have one from Alisha's memory. She'll have to ask Nathan, though she's sure he'd have said something douchbaggery if Kelly did have one around Christmas. ]

video;

[drinkslikeanan.livejournal.com]

I am, yeah. She did tell you that, didn't she?

[Granted, they haven't left the flat much since the thing with Shannon. Maybe she never got a chance.]
