Still never going to get used to not having to get used to this thing.

Okay, so. I think I've got a little more handle on how this city works. Thanks to everybody who helped me get my feet on the ground. I never thought I'd be glad for Metatropolis being weird sh... stuff central, but it makes adjusting go faster.

[He knows this place drags kids here, or at least teenagers. Self-censoring is go.]

Though I've got to say, the coffin and garlic jokes just because I'm used to the night shift wear a little thin. I can't be the only guy here who usually gets up when the sun goes down, can I? Anybody else get that feeling?

[This is his attempt at being subtle about saying "where my Kindred at, yo?" Because he's not used to coming to a new city without actual introductions and contacts and things. As much as he hates his clan's organization sometimes, it makes knowing who's in on things much easier. Not like he can ask normal people where he can get blood at this time of night.]

Oh, by the way. Guess I should introduce myself if anyone cares. I'm Maugris, I'm new here. I know about weird occult or paranormal things, so if you need help with that stuff, let me know - just know that I'm usually asleep during the day.

Well, seeing as you're the only one I know who would know where to get those, you'll be the first person I call if I ever need a robot arm.

[phantom_envoy]

I'll start planning in advance. There's no good having a robot arm if it doesn't shoot three different kinds of lasers.

...Well, good to hear you're settling in. I'm glad I helped one person, anyway.

[angryyoungvamp]

Heh. Well, of course. Shooting lasers is what robot arms are for.

Yeah. Thanks, really. Trying to deal with all this would have been a lot worse without someone to explain how things work here.

[phantom_envoy]

No problem. You can just slip the gratuity under my door when I'm out tonight; no biggie.

Oh -- Wait, I guess you won't be around, either. Have fun on your date -- dinner date!

[angryyoungvamp]

Didn't we already go over the date thing?

[He doesn't seem that upset, though.]

[phantom_envoy]

We did, but I choose to ignore it in favor of creating a reality where I get to tease you more.

[Phantom Girl smiles disarmingly.]

Date or not, have fun. I'll catch you later.

[angryyoungvamp]

Eh, there are worse reasons to ignore reality.

[He smiles back, chuckling.]

Thanks. See you later.
