powerguy | 1st Deal - [video/audio/action]

[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.]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

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

[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.

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

Sorry?

Must have the wrong number, then. Sorry.

[Why is his phone suddenly acting weird?]

[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?

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

Yeah, probably because that isn't your phone.

[pause]

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

[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?

Well, obviously you don't.

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

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

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

[Okaaaay. He's not exactly a stranger to the odd loony on the estate. Especially in his line of work. Time to disengage.]

Device, right.

[If he could just Google Maps to come up and figure out where he is...]

Sorry?

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

Aw, come on. Don't tell me you haven't even noticed the change in your surroundings.

How dense can you be?

I had noticed, yeah.

[He just isn't too keen in letting complete strangers know that he has no clue where he is.]

You're not wherever you were before. Nowhere near, in fact. Where you are is in a City run by 'Deities' who drop curses on people at random. You can't get home on your own.

Who do I see to get home, then?

Most people are quicker to comment.

Or scream, shout, make threats... at least one of those.

I'm used to weird shit.

Weird like ending up in creepy, nameless cities?

[Weird nazi cities, yeah...]

Not far off. So where am I?

Which part of creepy, nameless city are you having trouble with?

Just a creepy, nameless city? That's it?

Right. We've been calling it CUNT for short.
