001 - Arrival - ACTION/TEXT
Who: Neal Cassidy/Baelfire
What: Arrival & Freaking out
Where: Around HQ
When: 9/29 -ish and really any day after that.
Warnings: None
He wasn't expecting the sudden jump to another world. It was disorienting. He'd been in his apartment in New York and after the strange change he found himself in a bathroom stall. It'd taken him some time to puzzle out that he had just jumped from one location to another; luckily the strange old man came and explained some of it. Enough to make Neal wish he was anywhere but here.
He held the phone in his palm, feeling it's weight before pocketing it and heading out to explore. He really didn't want to just send a message to anyone and everyone but after wandering around, locating all the important parts of HQ and stopping by the hospital, he decides to send a text. With that done he slipped the phone into his pocket and continued to take a look around. This didn't feel like his New York and the longer he stayed the more he wished he wasn't here.
Neal can be found anywhere though he didn't stick out as someone who was new. He's good at hiding in plan sight.
TEXT
Anyone want to get a beer?

Action
Funny. You don't smell like a Fable. Not quite, anyway.
Action
I don't know the term.
Action
To regular humans, you came out of a storybook, or you're related to someone who did.
Action
[Neal exhales and then turns to look behind him as if a shadow might be looming.]
My father is in a story here. [He rolls his shoulders in a shrug.] I left that world a long time ago.
[Around 300 years ago.]
Action
Action
[He glances over at Bigby curiously.]
I was looking for a place without magic. The fairies gave me a bean that brought me here. That was... [He looks down at his beer before taking a drink.] A long time ago.
I've been to a few worlds since then. Sorta by accident.
Action
Why somewhere without magic? [Was it something similar to his own Homeland? Did the Adversary's reach expand that far?]
Action
Let's just say that magic ruined my life.
Action
Action
I want nothing to do with it.
[Except it'll probably be magic that gets them home and Neal at least has some magic know-how.]
Action
[Bigby sat back on his barstool and pulled a cigarette out of his pocket, lighting it and taking a long drag before speaking further.]
Usually, it really doesn't give a shit.
Action
[Neal waves at the air.]
Those things will kill you.
Action
[He shakes his head.]
It's gonna take more than these things to get rid of me.
Action
[Neal runs his hand over his palm as he continues to drink.]
Action
What am I waiting for exactly?
Action
[He points to them with a raised eyebrow.]
Action
Pal, I do that on a daily basis. You try policing a bunch of immortal assholes and see what happens.
Action
I'd rather not. I've seen enough immortal assholes.
[Like his father and his grandfather.]
Action
Somebody's got to keep them from killing each other.
Action
[He doesn't care if he's the big bad wolf and has eaten people. Neal's seen people do a lot worse for far stupider reasons.]
Action
Well, thanks, Neil. I appreciate that.
Action
[He doesn't think that anyone is perfectly innocent; not anymore.]
ooc: END?

(OOC: Sounds good!)
