Glitch time! Angel man ain't so angelic

Who: Arthur Kirkland
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Málum (Crowley's bar)
When: Feb 15, evening

[Luckily for the fleet, Arthur's decided to broadcast near the beginning of his evening, meaning he's still on his first glass and reasonably sober.]

Would anyone be up for a bit of a trip down to the ring tomorrow? I've been hearing some nice things about the area and it might be nice to get outside for a day or two. Especially after how artificial everything was at the last place. And it's always better with company.

[Takes another sip and sneezes, shaking his head. As he does... well, his control of his powers slips and a pair of wings pops out of his back, halo glowing over his head, and typical clothes swapped in a second to a matching white tunic. He doesn't notice until he picks up his glass for another sip and sees the reflection.]

...bugger.

[Tosses back the rest of the glass and ends the broadcast. Going to need another one.]

Out of sight, out of mind at its fullest. Suppose it protects some types, even if it gets me called a nutter on a somewhat regular basis. Two hundred years old, and the git refuses to believe in fairies. Ha.

[If only. Puts those on the tour.]

That's probably for the best, actually. The folk tend to at least somewhat behave for me, but I'm not sure if they would for other people. The ones my brother tends certainly don't.

It happens the same for people in my world, too. Magical folk are sometimes... Distant from those without magic, so all the new technology is a little bit bizarre to them. It means that people who aren't used to non-magical things end up looking a little odd to say the least. It helps that I've a foot in both worlds.

[ But, you know, the Arthur Weasleys of the world are nicer than the Malfoys. ]

I'd imagine they stay close to the people they like, right?

Heh, sometimes I wish I could just leave the technology behind too. But I think my secretary would chase me down and glue my cell phone to my hand if I tried.

[Would probably very much agree if he knew them. Malfoy sounds like a French name anyway.]

At least to the ones they know the best, but I like to think that they like me.

If it makes you feel better, it's all a little much for me. I spent three years in a world with barely any, so being on the fleet is still a bit of a shock.

[ She considers, for a moment, before she smiles. ]

I can't see any reason why they wouldn't.

I imagine so! I'm used to the normal sorts, phones, computers, telephones, but space ships that just zip around space like you'd take a bus downtown? That's far out of my realm of familiarity.

[Pinks a bit, but can't help but smile back at the praise.]

Well I'm a bit of a loner at home, but they have been around since I was a tot.

It was for me, too, but you get used to it. I love my lab, now, and the shuttles make life so much easier.

[ Compliments where they're due, she thinks. ]

Then they must really like you.

I'd love to take a look at your lab some day. Hopefully once I've gotten this mess sorted out.

[Gestures back towards the wings.]

I'd love that - I wouldn't mind showing you around at all. I could show you the potions room, too, if you wanted...

[ It's a little bit shy; she's not used to people actually being super interested in her magic. ]

[Likewise, believe him! Returns the smile, halo glowing just a bit brighter.]

That would be marvellous.

I'm on the Vanquish, if you ever want to come over. Or you can just message me using our devices, that would be fine too.

The Huntress for me. We've got a number of elves here, actually.

I was planning to make a trip down to the ring, but considering the circumstances I think I might delay that. Perhaps we could meet up this weekend?

Oh! I used to know a few elves, in the world before this one. I wonder if any of them are familiar.

[ Something to consider later, but for now - ]

That sounds lovely. Did you want to meet on the Iskaulit?

Perhaps I can introduce you later.

[Once he's actually gotten to know the whole group. For a small little ship, they live up to their Underhill counterparts for being elusive at times!]

And I was just about to suggest that. Friday around noon?

I'd like that. [ It won't be the same, probably, but it would be nice. ] That sounds lovely. I'll see you then?

Until then.

[[ooc: Want to set up another post for that, or just move it into an action thread?]
