[ You have fallen onto a noisy street. After all the cold, the silence, the cacophony of city sounds blankets your ears muffles that feeling of abandonment. The street is dirty, and neon all around you advertises: Gambling! Fight pits! Come get your money's worth, restaurants, bars. They demand attention, and you could walk into any one of them.
Or, you might notice the alley ways before you enter. On the ground there's bodies: chalk outlines around those twisted at strange angles. Like crime scene photos, but you know how you got here. And if you look at the bodies too long, you can see the echo: shadows that are pale rather than darker, of missing wings upon their back.
The crowds on the street take no notice of you, or those bodies. ]

Re: A Bar
But first he is going to try to send a text to B. Will this work y/n ]
Re: A Bar
Re: A Bar
If nothing bizarre happens with his phone after that, he's going to head over to the guy at the dartboard under the guise of watching the game. ]
Re: A Bar
The person is pretty decent at darts. Not great, but that's probably due to the fact they've got on eye-patch on. Pretty good for completely lacking in depth perception darts.
It's difficult to tell if this person is human or not. They're not wavering the way the others in the bar were, but you're not seeing any super obvious signs of inhumanity, either. ]
Re: A Bar
You are not half bad at this. Are you from around here?
[ Smooth. ]
Re: A Bar
No more than you are, yeah? Don't see a lot of transplants from the lady of Delphi's pricedom around here.
Re: A Bar
[ Probably. At least, he's guessing that place must be where the idol facilities are located. Princedoms seem like the kind of place that could maintain that, right? ]
Are you from there as well?
Re: A Bar
[ A little shrug and a grin: ]
Shows, doesn't it? Not that you could get me to return to that house of mirrors for anything under the sun.
Re: A Bar
Is that so? What about it do you find so distasteful?
Re: A Bar
[ He turns back to the dartboard, throwing it with more force than is necessary. It flies astray, embedding itself in the wall. ]
If I get someone after me here, probably I had it coming. All in the name, right, Vengeance? Better than having my reality rewritten just because there's some new propaganda her Lady's having them put out on the news. Life's harder here but at least I know it's mine.
[ Another dart.
This one hits center. ]
Re: A Bar
[ He glances at the bulls-eye, tipping his head in an approving nod. ]
I can, at least, assure you that we have no interest in you. I do not even know your name.
Re: A Bar
[ Shakes his head. ]
Like I said, if that's the poison you've picked I'm not going to demand you order something different. No business of mine, anyway.
Re: A Bar
Re: A Bar
For people like me and you? This little hellhole and that one are the big two. Most of hell's not so big on humanity, regardless of what we are now.
Re: A Bar
Re: A Bar
[ he holds out a dart to Talon. ]
Sounds like you'd know better than me, then. We can play a round and pick each other's brains if that's how you want it.
Re: A Bar
Very well. Do you prefer to start, or shall I?
Re: A Bar
[ Motions for him to go ahead. ]
Re: A Bar
[ Steps up and throws a dart. It's not quite a bullseye, but lands fairly close to it. ]
Is your clean slate working out well for you?
