[open to Investigators] Roll call and IC welcome/infopost

[howexciting]

Is everyone all right? I think-- cazzo!-- I think a roll call is in order. Leonardo da Vinci, present.

We seem to have found ourselves in the Afterlife, or some form of it. But where precisely, I don't know. Angels and demons in the same place... it's unheard of, in the stories of my time.

For those new Travelers, welcome to your first Jaunt. I am sorry it is not more hospitable... if anyone needs better clothes or any supplies, I would be happy to assist, if only I can manage to disperse this crowd-- Dio mio, this crowd! This is ridiculous!

... please, if anyone has found a quiet spot where I may hide, tell me? I am having a bit of trouble, here.

Place with canals sounds nicer. [Buuutt maybe she's biased. Just a little.

There's nothing more to say about being gone 20+ years. It sucks-- that's all there is to it, and she'd really like to... Well, no. She wouldn't really like to see them again. It's complicated.] They would not know me after so long. Is better this way, maybe.

Tch. Humans always lie. Cannot believe everyone is so selfless, do not be stupid.

[howexciting]

Firenze will always be closest to home, for me... but Venezia has its charms.

... perhaps that is true. Still, I wish it were not so hard on you.

Well... actually, I am very bad at lying. Terrible at it, in truth. I suppose it is true that not all of us believe as such, but... I believe we should work together. And I am more than happy to help you or any other Traveler, in any way I can.

[mermaiding]

Humph... Pretty words do not mean anything if there is no support.

[Granted she's met nothing but kind and helpful people here lately but... Still. She doesn't know how much of that is just luring her into some false sense of security, does she?

She huffs]

Will you get me here or not?

[howexciting]

... ah, yes, of course, I apologize! One moment.

[And within the span of a breath, Oona can see in her mind's eye where Leonardo is - in one of the lanes of market stalls, and while she is not within sight, perhaps one of the shops is memorable...]

[mermaiding]

[Weird. Really weird.

It isn't like 'magic' things are strange to her, but it's still something different from what she's used to. She recognizes one of the stalls though as one close to her and stands quickly.]

There! Recognize it. Will meet you there? [She's already hurrying there though oops.]

[howexciting]

Yes, I will meet you there. I... will not be myself, but you will know me.

[He stops the livestream, and turns just as Oona comes into view, hurrying down the street - but he is not himself, for he is disguised as another, an illusion of a plain-looking demon over his body. However, he speaks not with the voice of a demon, but himself.]

Oona. I am glad to see you unharmed.

[mermaiding]

[Well that was certainly not what she was expecting, and Oona freezes up accordingly.]

Eh? Eh? [No seriously what the hell.] ...Leonardo?
