Date: December 12, 1999
Status: Public
Setting: The Lobby
Summary: De Carabas arrives at the Manor


When the marquis blinked, he was in a lobby.

He blinked again, just at the strange sensation, then smiled. Door had done as he'd asked, after all. All of their debts were cleared. Nothing tied him to London Below any more... at least, nothing important. He looked around in interest at the nice room, amused when he considered how he must look: dirty Victorian garb, a ragged piece of cloth around his throat, frock coat still slightly unrecovered from its adventures among the Sewer Folk. He hadn't bathed recently, either; that was something he'd gotten used to, but knew others might find abhorrent. Especially having come from London Below, where it would really be prudent to bathe once a day, at least.

De Carabas walked up to the reception desk, ringing the small bell sitting there. He smiled, moving back to lean against the wall, relaxing against it. His eyes darted around the room, white in a dark face.

"Hmmm. I've known a lot of names in my time. I may have heard of them... but I'd have to consult Muninn." He looked contemplative. "So you've gotten yourself into a sticky situation, eh? I know how that is." (His mind stretched to why *he* was in the manor in the first place) His glance was dark as he looked at the marquis. "And I also know that it helps to have allies." He sipped his drink, a hand running over his tie-tack.
