Introduction of a Flower [Dictation/Action in the Lobby]

[theyseekhimhere]

[A very confused, and well dressed, man wakes up suddenly on a couch in the lobby. He looks around for anything remotely familiar. Although he is no stranger to grand buildings, this one is unfamiliar. He surveys the room before picking up the journal, reading the various entries. Perhaps he is searching for clues about his whereabouts or... perhaps not. Upon finding his name on the inside cover he lets out a small gasp of surprise.]


Really Percy, what have you gotten yourself into this time?


[Seeing his words appear on the journal page has him looking concerned and tapping his eyeglass on his chin. What to do?]

[ooc: New character in the lobby. Feel free to chat over journals or to happen upon him.]

Dude.

[Here, mister, have a pajama'd teenager, lazily carrying a massive ice cream sundae towards the staircase. She raises one eyebrow when she sees this man looking fabulously out of place, and gives a little snort of a laugh.]

Nice hair.

Re: ;action

[theyseekhimhere]

[He, like a true gentleman, stands up and bows. He does however raise his eyebrow in disbelief at her choice in clothes.]

Why thank you. A man's duty is to be well dressed after all.

Nice to meet you, Miss...?

[delincuente]

Yeah? Try telling all the guys back in my world that.

[She laughs, and gives a ridiculous little fake curtsy.]

It's Alex.

[theyseekhimhere]

[He either ignores or doesn't notice if she is mocking him.]

And what world would that be, Miss Alex? It sounds positively dreadful.

[thebestseller]

Nobody here but us chickens. Buck buck buck.

[theyseekhimhere]

[He looks around in confusion before speaking.]

Why mysterious speaker you must be quite mistaken. There are no chickens to be seen anywhere.

[thebestseller]

Darn, my excellent cover has been blown. By the way, look for your journal; it should have been on you when you arrived.

Huh? What'd I do?

Re: dictated

[theyseekhimhere]

Nothing so far as I'm aware.

But you said my name...

[onlyanapple]

[Well, Percy, there's a well dressed guy wearing sunglasses coming your way, pausing right in front of you in fact]

For a start you're sitting on my couch.

[His couch, a public couch. Same difference]

[theyseekhimhere]

[Percy brings his eyeglass up to look at the man before standing and gesturing at the couch.]

My apologizes good sir.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley arches a brow at that]

Wow. I didn't think that would actually work.

[He'll go lounge on the couch anyway]

You must be new.

A castle.

Re: [Written forever]

[theyseekhimhere]

I had gathered as much. It is the unfamiliarity of this particular castle that so puzzles me. Perhaps you could give me a clue as to my whereabouts.

[thraxios]

The castle is called 'Cair Paradisa' officially; its residents often refer to it simply as 'Paradisa.' It's a place between life and death, so far as I have been able to ascertain, one outside the world you occupied before coming here.

action!

[losemycherry]

[An attractive young Japanese girl happens by. She notices the gentleman on the couch, and frowns slightly before smiling.]

"Hey there! I don't think we've met. I'm Yamada! What's your name?"

Re: action!

[theyseekhimhere]

[The man stands and bows to the girl.]

Sir Percival Blakeney, Baronet at your service, Lady Yamada.

[losemycherry]

[Wow, this guy's a real cavalier! Wonder if he's ever gotten laid before.]

C-Charmed, I'm sure... [She blushes, averting her gaze in modesty.]

Written

[jimfromit]

Percy?

What cruel parents you must have had to give you such a name!

Re: Written

[theyseekhimhere]

My, what a terrible thing to say.
I have heard some terrible names in my lifetime and I assure you mine is not one of them.

[jimfromit]

Hold the phones we have a sensitive one here...

Nothing personal it just seemed like such an old fashioned one.

[kungfuwitch]

[Phoebe had been on her way out the door to take a walk in the gardens when she heard the man speak. She turns and smiles, friendly as always]

A magic castle named Cair Paradisa, actually.

[theyseekhimhere]

[Percy, ever the gentleman, stands to greet here.]

Cair Paradisa, hm? Would you know how I came to be here instead of my home?

[kungfuwitch]

[Oh what a gentleman!]

The easy answer is magic. The castle took all of us from our own worlds and times and plopped us down here. We'll only be able to leave when the castle decides to send us home.

I know, it sounds outlandish but it's true.
