sirenspull | 001: [Video] Duel One

[A video blips on as he fiddles with his device, at long last making a steady connection to the netvice community. A silvery-haired fop is now on your network—Ready to do a little chit-chatting, Siren's Port?]

Oooo. This is just like out of one of those Sci-Fi shows, you know. How exciting. Can you all hear me? Well hello, hello there! ~☆

[Waves all friendly-like with a glass of wine in one hand, smiling winsomely.]

Good evening, good evening my dear friends. I do hope all of you are having a stellar evening, indeed. I'm…What is it they say? Newly Arrived? Oh, it's really all very strange. Very confusing. Why, I've been absolutely terrified!~

Also, I confess, a little exhausted.

[Fans himself briskly with one hand and sits up from what appears to be a posh-looking couch that most certainly wasn't in the Starter Apartments, letting forth a dramatic sigh.]

Well, since it appears we're going to be stuck here for a while why don't you let me tell you a little about myself so we might get to know each other better, hm?

My name is Pegasus J. Crawford, inventor of a wonderful card game called Duel Monsters, chairman and CEO of Industrial Illusions, and I come from America. California, to be specific. Ha, ha.~ It's a wonderful place, really.

[Giggles at that, as if telling the most amusing joke.]

Pleasure to make your acquaintance. ♡

But now that you know who I am, it's only fair that I should like to get to know all of you. So, boy do I have a little question for you, Siren's Port:

Do any of you like to play games? I invented one, you know. Maybe you could help lil' old me pass the time? A winner-take-all duel, you might say. The loser takes me out to dinner. Or, if you're so inclined, maybe show me around. I could really use a tour. How about it, hm?

[ooc: Action tags are welcome. He'll come skipping right out to meet and greet almost anyone if they're friendly enough. Don't expect him to walk too far though unless you call him a cab.

Well, if those are the stakes then I'll have to pass.

Oh? Then what are your kind of stakes?

The kind that don't involve me going out on a date with someone I've never met. Tried it before, didn't end well. Woke up tied to a weathervane.

Whoever said it was a date?

[Is that what he incidentally implied? Oopsie.]

But I bet that was an interesting outing.

Say, that's why I want to get to know you. So why don't you start by telling me your name?

"Interesting" is one word for it.

[He coughs. It's intended to sound like a noise of discomfort at the memory, but really he's momentarily stalling to consider an answer to the second part of the question]

I'm Anthony. You can call me "Tony", though.

Sounds like it'd make a splendid story. I'd love to hear it.

[Ohoho? Such a typical name. And most folks here seemed to be anything but. Good thing his powers are diminished for the time being or else he may just have given thought to needling through the other's mind.]

Tony, hm? And how long have you been here, Tony-boy?

Long enough to know I don't like the food here.

Oh. I see...It's a shame, really.

[He does sound sympathetic now.]

I bet it can't all be bad, though. Maybe when I'm properly settled we can find a place that serves something worthwhile and have a friendly chat, hm?

I do like good company, after all. I promise I won't even bite.

If I didn't know any better, I'd swear you were asking me out on a date.

And, like I said, I don't go out with people I don't know.

I'm just passing through, anyway, man.

No, no. Of course not. Whatever gave you that idea? After all, what's a couple of drinks between new friends?

I'd call that a fairly simple arrangement, myself. Besides, I'm sure if you haven't been here too long we could help each other somehow.

Mutually beneficial, isn't that what they call it?

[Smirk.]

I doubt that. Highly. I'm afraid we're in for the long haul here, or so I've heard. No ins or outs. Guess you may as well spend your time accordingly.

If you haven't heard that already then you must be rather new indeed.

Bullshit.

I don't believe that. If there's a way in, there's a way out.

[Hm. A bit skittish, eh? He'll just have to play tactfully for now.]

If there is one, I'd like to know what it is myself.

Well, nobody's gonna find it just sitting around. Gotta actually look for it.

Look, hm? I'm not opposed to that.

What might you suggest then, Tony?

I have absolutely no fucking idea.

[A small laugh]

I rather thought as much.

But I don't blame you. I'm sure it'll become clear in time.
