[it’s a new face on the network! one belonging to a woman who appears to be vaguely mid-20s (she’s actually older), deeply annoyed, and very tired.]

Y’know, at this point, I can’t even pretend to be surprised about this shit.

[she shakes her head and huffs an annoyed breath out before returning to address the camera straight on.]

Anyway, I’m gonna make this short. I’m Nick, this ain’t my first rodeo, an’ if you know me from anywhere before, gimme a shout.

Oh - and Seifer, if you’re here? Quit sulking and meet me in the kitchen. Fourth floor.

[even if you’re not seifer, feel free to stop by the kitchen and meet the new girl!]

[Well, a new face indeed but not one unfamiliar!]

Ah! Another Dualis refugee, the barkeep, are you not? I believe we met briefly, after the city had become largely deserted.

[metamorphotic]

The one and only. [well, she was toward the end, at least. everyone else who’d worked at rick’s was gone.] And you … were the tea guy, yeah?

[albatrossomen]

[Murmur had the misfortune of showing up when just about everyone was gone already. It was very creepy.]

I was and remain the tea guy. Murmur, at your service.

Your friend's parents must've hated them with a name like Seifer. Sounds a little cryptic if you ask me.

[Puns are fun.]

[metamorphotic]

[unfortunately (?) nick’s not a nerd, so the pun sails right over her head. she shrugs.]

Different world, different names an’ shit. I never really asked. Didn’t really feel like gettin’ my ass kicked.

[smokingguns]

Oh. That sort huh? Yeah I like calling people who would've turned to violence to my location too.

Kitchen

[imarealistnotacynic]

[Richard is in the kitchen with something that looks vaguely snackish, spotting the woman and raising his mug of tea. He's loathe to leave Alex for long, to be away from her for long but he needs to think.

So the man in the loose dark blue shirt with the rolled up sleeves and the five o'clock shadow raises his mug.]

Why is he sulking.

Kitchen; Action

While he was used to tracking down prey, he wasn't used to tracking down a feeling. Not in that way at least, not in the way that he felt so pulled toward someone. Dave had taken to dark corners or tracking down someone from a distance where maybe he had already been seen, and didn't care. What exactly did his hand want from him since technology wasn't exactly as advanced here, it was a good guess that the closer he got to the woman he could hear talking in the kitchen to...? No one that he could smell at least.

It meant he didn't have much time before whoever they were would be around, if these people weren't mutated at their age, it meant something was wrong. It also meant that if he could creep up long enough without startling her, he might be able to figure it out. Mind that his approach may have been unconventional on all fours with his wings lightly spread at the possibility of having to flee or fight. Likely flight.

There was no attempt to make the ticktakticktak of his clawed hand on the floor any concealed just as much as there wasn't where the tentative movement forward of a glyphed human hand was in question of just how close he could get. His head turned a few degrees to the side to make it easier to see out of his mask with one eye and the low trill of a sound to mark his intent as not vicious. Could he have talked? Maybe, but what was the point until he was sure she could handle even the sight? Lucky for him, he might be in for a pleasant surprise.

kitchen!

Lucifer is actually slightly dressed down for once - though of course Nick won't know that. He's just in trousers and a shirt. No vest, no jacket, no loud pocket square. He doesn't look especially mussed, though his hair is curling slightly because he hasn't bothered to gel it in a few days.

Anyway, there's a new person to meet, he prefers to meet people face-to-face, and he could use a snack, and he might as well find out what snacks are in the fourth floor kitchen while he's at it!

"Is your usual rodeo kidnapping, interdimensional travel, or both?" he asks conversationally as he walks in, making a beeline for the fridge or its Navi equivalent.

Wow, so how many of these places have you been in? Also there's some tamales in there if you're hungry!
