[Game 21] That Night

[arsgoetia]

After everyone has gotten fed and had a chance to learn the basic details of what things are like here, Kieran calls you all together (pretty much because Madison had been trying to work up the steam to do so, so Kieran stepped in instead).

It's dark outside, and a little chill—about 9 or 10PM.

"Okay, guys," Kieran says. "So, Maddy's got enough train tickets for all of us minus two. Maddy's staying behind because of prophecy reasons, and I'm going to stay with him so he's not left alone in this house and also because I'm probably a killswitch for a powerful incubus, aka my boyfriend, showing up if anything happens to me and, by extension, Maddy." He delivers this all in a deadpan. "Anything else, Maddy?"

Maddy looks a little alarmed to be put on the spot, shaking his head and flushing a little. "Er. Not for now. Oh . . . if anything goes. Weird? Please listen to Sariel—he's . . . in charge?" And he hands over an envelope to everyone's favourite psychopomp.

What should I call you? Like, for a normal name. I'm going with Theo for Mr. Paracelsus.

I'd like to think my name is normal enough. It's Arthur.

[innerdemon]

[blinks, but, surely not]

Okay, cool. That simplifies things.

[ SURELY NOT ]

I am not particularly skilled in subterfuge or anything, so I'm glad I didn't have to come up with a fake name.

[SHOULD I ASK should i ask. should i]

It's definitely hard to remember to respond to it.

[ SHOULD you? he seems pretty chill what could go wrong ] I feel as though I would instinctively correct someone who called me by a false name, even one that I myself came up with...
