one - fresh meat | video

[The fellow on screen is a new face. There's a small waver in his voice if you listen closely, but only at first. He sounds almost American in an old-timey way, but has a faint accent impossible to identify. He appears to be a normal guy in his mid-20s, perhaps a little pale. He's well-dressed, sort of; he's wearing a full, all-black suit, but it looks a little over-worn. There's glamour magic hiding the two demon horns on his forehead, and so instead most people will just see two small bumps. He seems a little bit exasperated. His ID reads "Matthew Lin."]

So, [clears throat] seems I'm in Virginia. Not exactly according to plan, but then it never is, am I right? Doesn't seem to be the case for most of you guys, either. One hu - person - leaking from her face, just, water, all over the place. I asked why she was doing that, and if she would show me Snapchat, and the look she gave me nearly banished me on the spot. Really, give a guy a break, it was just a question. People's attitudes these days! Unbelievable.

In any case, if anyone a little more well adjusted would like to discuss some things, I've apparently got all the time in the world right now and I'm feeling a bit ... disoriented. I'm finding my normal communication wires have been cut, so to speak, which, by the way, I don't terribly appreciate. Also, the job I've been assigned! Who do I talk to if a job description conflicts with my, er, religious beliefs?

You won't believe the week I've had.

Anyway, what is this thing? [The video jostles around like in a 'found footage' movie. He's hitting the communicator lightly, which comes across as loud booms in the audio, and turning it every direction to look at it.] Is this an iPhone?

Let's just say that I have the feeling my work is much like yours: nontransferable. ( though, to be fair, there is a market for sex work anywhere. the truth of the matter was that it had been a long time since she'd had to start from scratch; she needed some contacts first. )

[abduxel]

Hey, maybe we're in the same business.

Guess I'll just have to ask around, too. On that note, if you happen to meet anyone who needs someone to very carefully transport some goods, small goods, I'm your guy.

[herrin]

I'll keep you in mind.

( the less specifics said about her business, the better. for now, at least. )

I haven't been here very long myself, but if you require any assistance.. I might be able to help.

[abduxel]

[He grins.]

Sounds like a plan. I'm... Matthew, by the way. It's nice to meet you.

[herrin]

Irene Adler. It's a pleasure.

( no, really, it is. )

[abduxel]

Right. [Last names. Of course. Get it together, Abduxel.] Matthew Lin.

[herrin]

So I can't call you Matthew? ( not that she usually would anyway. giving people a hard time is her speciality though. )

[abduxel]

A woman like you can call me whatever she wants.

[herrin]

Touche.
