[Radu has been spending a lot of his time since he arrived eating pizza. Largely because A) unreplicated food, and B) He has this allowance the city's giving him and what else is he supposed to spend it on? (Except maybe clothes that aren't his old school uniform, but baby steps).
He's at his usual haunt when hey, it's that guy he spoke to when he arrived. He's not sure what Earth ettiquette is in the situations but... well he's eating alone, too. Isn't not alone preferable?
So Radu wanders over a little awkwardly, pizza tray in hand.]
The shadow Ginsberg catches the attention of another shadow. The Thief in the Night creeps after the shadow before saying, "So dark the souls of men in this place when the shadows they fear come and walk again."
[Oliver's checked the door. He's checked and double checked - the human way and the fairy way - and whatever the hell is keeping them in here it ain't moving yet. Really, as far as he can tell the only way they're leaving this room ever again is if whatever mystical force locked them up in the first place gets bored and lets them out again. So really, doing anything is completely unnecessary.
Which is probably why the fairy king is question is now lounging casually on the bed, a random book in hand that he dug out of the nightstand, looking for all the world like he couldn't care less.]
Oh god, I'm so sorry about the other day. And...about all the weird things I said. And about talking so much about aliens, and just. I'll understand if you hope you never speak to me again, I swear I'm not usually so strange. Or drunk. I'm really not usually drunk at all. I don't know what got into me.
[He lets Ginsberg have his little nap, because he does look awfully cute and it gives him the perfect opportunity to snap a few photos. But eventually the food gets here and Oliver figures Ginsberg will probably want some while it's still hot.
So he gently shakes him awake, hoping the wafting scent of Pad Thai cushions the blow a little.]
[ A small box, wrapped in heavy white paper and with Ginsberg's name written neatly on top, is delivered via whatever passes for a post office in the City.
The paper is wrapped around a wooden box, and nestled inside the box is a small mechanical bird, about four inches long from beak to tail. On the underside is a switch, which causes the bird to move its wings and tail and make a pleasant chirping sound. There's a note inside the box as well. ]
I thought this might be a nice compromise to the robot-dolphin issue. You can charge it the same way you do your network device.
Tosh isn't even going to attempt to explain how or why it works (she'd have to admit she doesn't know, although she might qualify that with a 'yet'). It just does, and there they stand, next to the water tower on Roald Dahl Plass. It's a little overcast, but then rift activity does seem to play havoc with the weather. Or maybe it's just a typical rainy Welsh day.
"Right then. So welcome to Cardiff. And 2008."
She probably should check in with Jack right away, but it's not like anyone would have noticed her absence yet. And it might be better to ease Ginsberg into that whole situation slowly. "Why don't we nip over to mine and you can...ask questions or poke about or something. I hate to admit it, but I'm not quite certain where the big differences are going to be."
It's a little strange how things don't seem that different at first. Maybe it's because she'd never been to New York, so the whole experience is brand new. Really it's the clothes that stand out to her the most, and when she realizes how out-of-place she must look, in jeans and a leather coat over a long sweater, rather than the neat dresses and skirt suits she sees on the women around her.
"Don't know why I expected it to feel like something out of a film," she muses, half to herself.
"Ginsberg!" Laruna called out his name, waving wildly through a crowd of people. She's like that crazy person who sees someone at the airport and just can't wait to see that person and is bouncing up and down on their feet and walking at the same time.
Whenever you get to your desk next, Ginsberg, there's a note for you. A card in fact. One of those cards that plays a song. A very work appropriate song. Underneath it says:
wanted to see if you'd join me tonight. in town for a little while. I'll have the take-out ordered first this time.
