A woman appeared beside the fountain, kneeling down as if in the process of picking something up.

Medea?

She looked around in some confusion.

What the hell?

Samuel?

Anyone?

She turned in a circle, cautiously scenting the wind.

This is no place I'm familiar with.

Where the hell am I?

I doubt it's a place anyone's familiar with upon first arrival. It's called the City, hardly original, but then the rest of if more than makes up for the lack.

Has someone offered you assistance?

From: [identity profile] coyote-walking.livejournal.com
Yeah, I... someone I knew from before is coming to get me.

But thanks.

You have a friend here? Wonderful, that does make it easier on a person, I've noted.

Your mouth to God's ears.

Lord knows this is going to take some getting used to.

I've been here less than two weeks, believe me I know.

My friends been here almost a year. I can't imagine being stuck here that long.

An acquaintance of mine has been here nearly three. With only brief visits home.

Whatever this place is, it seems to hold on to what it wants.

Three years

*soft muffled obscenities*

You've got to be kidding.

No, I'm afraid not. I doubt she would have lied to me.

... I can't stay here for three years.

Nor can I, but I don't believe we get to make that choice.

If it's any consolation, I understand that when we return to our homes it's as if no time has passed, and we carry no memory of this place.

That won't help for the time I'm stuck here.

But I appreciate the sentiment.

It really doesn't, does it? My suggestion would be to do what everyone else does. Let your friend assist you in settling in, and find something to occupy your time - generally a job.

And if your friend - whoever he is - hasn't told you about the curses yet, have him do so as soon as you're settled. They're not something one should blunder into unaware.

I'm Promise Nottinger, by the way. You are...?

Curses?

And sorry. I'm Mercy. Mercy Thompson. Nice to meet you, Promise.

Yes, periodically the citizens of the City are afflicted with various behavior and or physicality transforming curses. Some are more benign than others, some are less.

Nice to meet you as well.

I'm sure your friend, I'm sorry did you give me his name? In any case, I'm sure with his tenure here, he can give you a much better idea what you may expect from the curses than I can.

Great. 'Cause heaven knows I was so enjoying the thought of a nice long stay here before I heard about there being curses.

I didn't, but his name is Kyle and yeah, I'm sure he'll help as much as he can.

I'm sorry, but sometimes it is best to get all the bad information out of the way upfront.

Kyle Brooks?

Date: Thursday, June 18th, 2009 05:44 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] coyote-walking.livejournal.com
Yeah, maybe.

Yes. Do you know him?

Date: Thursday, June 18th, 2009 05:47 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] missesthestars.livejournal.com
I know of him, he works for a dear friend of mine.

[ooc: And with this, I am off for bed - have a good night!]

From: [identity profile] coyote-walking.livejournal.com
Really. You'll have to tell me more.

[ooc: Sleep well!]

About my friend or yours? I fear I know little of the latter, only that he's a hard worker who tends to worry about his friends a lot.

Date: Thursday, June 18th, 2009 05:55 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] coyote-walking.livejournal.com
Or what he does? Anything. I'm just trying to get oriented here.

He manages the books and legal matters for the club as I understand it, and assists Niko with other tasks as necessary.

He's a great lawyer.

I also think I remember the City's Warden talking about someone helping him draft some laws. That might be Kyle as well.
