1 Mischief Managed - [Video]

[The camera opens on the video feed. Not much can be seen, as what appears to be a hand is covering most of the camera. There is a THUNK as the device is thrown onto a hard surface and skids slightly until it settles, setting up a clear view of the edge of the fountain. A young man is standing waist-deep in water, drenched to the skin. He pushes his fiery red hair out of his eyes, and peers towards the device with what may be an extremely familiar freckled face.]

Look, if someone’s trying to make a point here, I have bathed today.

[He’s seemed to have worked out that the device is broadcasting, and is nonplussed by it. He hoists himself out of the water and sits of the edge, trying to shakes the water out of his sleeves.]

And Ron, if this is another one of your misguided attempts to ‘cheer me up’, I must say that you’ve reached a bit of an all-time low. Dropping me into a fountain, really? Absolutely no finesse at all. In fact I’m considering disowning you on the spot. And I have water up my ear-hole.

[He tilts his head over and gives it a smack to try and dislodge the water. Wear his left ear should be, there is simply a dark hole in the side of his head.]

If the water seeps into my brain I am holding you personally responsible. I don’t need to be brain-damaged on top of being horribly disfigured.

[He hops to his feet and scoops up the device, holding it level with his face as he turns around, surveying his surroundings.]

Now. Where in bleeding hell am I?

Simple. People don't stay dead here. Like, at all.

It doesn't make sense, I know...but the rules of this place do not work on basic logic levels. People are brought here by a set of batshit insane deities, who then trap us here, experiment on us in these things called curses, and people who die here, or are dead when brought here, don't stay dead.

...I take it that's why you think you're dreaming. If I'm wrong, I'll hit myself so you don't have to.

Is he not supposed to be? Or am I just getting everything mixed up and confused again.

I mean, if he's dead, he's still walking and talking and whatnot...he's not a zombie, though. Trust me, I know zombies, and the City Dead, while sort of on the borderline, aren't zombies. They're not nearly green enough, for starters.

Well, dead works differently here.

...Inferi...? Well, I dunno. I've only ever met one zombie, and he's more like a green person with amnesia and a tendency to lose his limbs if they're not sewn properly, THANK YOU. Gallahad doesn't really fit the stereotype. He doesn't eat brains, he doesn't groan...he's chill.

[Sorry, tangent about zombie bff.]

Oh, Martin's the best! He's a great cook, he's got this awesome dry sense of humor, and he certainly smiles more than Conrad ever does...sorry, Conrad. Vampire. Generally a grump.

They're not here, though...wish they were. I know they'd love a ton of the people here...well, Leroy would. Conrad would complain and then reluctantly meet people, but that's how he is.

What can I say, me and normal don't get along.

Oh, hey, are you magic too?

Brilliant.

[This earns George a grin. He's still not exactly sure what he is, since he can do magic, but without a want, and only one kind, but...]

Uhm...sort of? It's sort of complicated. See, I can do magic, but not wand magic, and only one specific type, so...I'm something, anyway...

Well, it's sort of rune based. I write out something with my magic marker, and then activate it, and the rune does what its programmed to do!

...sort of. Sometimes it goes wrong, and the bigger stuff is much less pleasant to deal with, but.

I know! It's weird, though. I'll have to show you. It does have benefits, though. I made some fireworks that insulted the City and the deities, that was fun.

I saw that! Those dragon fireworks? AWESOME. You have got to tell me how you two managed to do that.
