>> System Error?

[backside-360.livejournal.com]

[Just by virtue of being one of the muses that have been around for years and years, Tobias is not at all a stranger to the setting shifting around. He's not exactly a fan of this latest shift, though it doesn't show that much in his expression. Still, you wouldn't exactly appreciate being suddenly thrown into a dark, urban alleyway, would you?

Every attempt he makes to think of another place, to shift the scenery, ends up failing. The sky momentarily fizzles, as though it were a huge screen suffering from static, but it eventually just fades right back into the same hazy night sky. He's still not surprised. A little concerned, and he frowns a bit to show as much, but not surprised. Not even worried. ... Much.

He stuffs his hands in his coat pockets and looks around. There's no one immediately in sight, but he can definitely hear all the typical sounds of a large city on a Saturday night clamoring in the near distance. He's probably not far from a popular downtown area.]

So... what does that mean? Is something supposed to happen here?


[Maybe your character needs magical healing? Maybe they're alone and need an escort - safety in numbers, right? Maybe they're looking for a fight in just such a dark alleyway? Maybe they're looking for a certain kind of herb that this guy's probably got, wink wink nudge nudge? Or maybe your character's just stuck in this suspicious looking alleyway, too...?]

((OoC: Totally open! Party post, even, if you feel like it! If you want to go to other parts of the city, feel free to completely make shit up. ♥ I'm doing this to test character voice, so let me know if something seems weird!))

Typical. [He sounds almost disappointed with that answer.]

If you don't believe in coincidence, then what would you call this meeting?

[backside-360.livejournal.com]

[Metaphorical bullet metaphorically dodged~?]

Not sure. Probably something that was supposed to happen, on some level.

[Only if he finds another topic to hang onto like a leech~]

You think this meeting was supposed to happen? That sort of implies that there's something of actual importance happening here.

[backside-360.livejournal.com]

Sure. Why not? It was the first place I ended up. What about you?

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

So far, you've given me no reason to believe that this trip into this alleyway has been anything other than something to idly pass the time with.

[Tobias just smiles and shakes his head, holding both hands up appeasingly.]

I'm not trying to convince you of anything, don't worry. It's just how I think. Not everyone thinks the same way.

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

If everyone thought the same way, life would be rather boring. ... Just like this alleyway has been.

[backside-360.livejournal.com]

Well, if it's boring, then maybe we could go somewhere else. You know, look around the city?

((OoC: OH GOD SORRY FOR LATE. /dies))

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

We could. We should. It's probably more lively, at the very least.

(( Ahahaaaa it's all good!! <3333 /hugsforever ))

[backside-360.livejournal.com]

Probably. Though if it's late, I don't know that there'd be much for a kid. [pause How old are you, anyway?

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

Old enough to be walking around a city. [... Or, at least he is in his mind.]

[backside-360.livejournal.com]

[... Uh huh.]

Right, right. And how old is that?

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

Fourteen. [Totally an adult.] And you?
