knew_anyway-right.
[There's a small pause, and Nathaniel takes a deep breath, before starting to speak.]
As you all know, there is a festivity of sorts, held on Friday. For preparation, I am willing to teach a class on the basics of dance Thursday evening. Though I am not a certified instructor in the matter, I have attended several galas which required such... things, and I have had instruction on- dance. [God, it sounds so girly when he says it like that. But with friends like Makepeace, he knows the basics, which is far more than you barbaric lot.]
I will also be attending the prom of sorts if anyone wishes to speak to me face to face- on any matter. Thank you.
[Private to Hino Rei || Unhackable]
[There's a long pause, as if he's not sure if he really wants to say this- but he goes with it anyway, taking a deep breath.]
...I have located another spirit that I believe to be residing in Adstringendum. Something a bit more powerful than Faisal. If... if you like, [a deep breath] you can watch the summoning.
[He lets out a soft sound, like he's nervous, maybe.] Um- not that I think it would be particularly entertaining, but you seemed... curious about that sort of thing. It would be easier than trying to explain everything.

Date: 2011-11-16 09:28 am (UTC)-because I... I neglected my duties to the people when I was in a position of power back home.
[It sounds so cut and dry like that. Nathaniel winces.]

At any rate, if I weren't actively trying to organize the community, I might go mad. This place is chaos.

Date: 2011-11-16 09:40 am (UTC)[A wry smile. You talked to the right person.]
But I can point you to the clinic, which helps new arrivals, or the halfway house, which is a temporary lodging for new people. I also have a map of most of the homes in Adstringendum, though it hasn't been updated in terms of who's living where in over a month.

Date: 2011-11-16 09:42 am (UTC)[She still has a lot to process.]
But I'll look at that map, if that's okay.

Date: 2011-11-16 09:49 am (UTC)[He pushes a few buttons, before his expression turns grave.]
However, I would advise you to exercise a lot of caution. You've doubtlessly heard of the monsters that plague Adstringendum, but not all of the citizens are virtuous either. I'd actually recommend trying to find a housemate if you have little means of protecting yourself against magic. [He shrugs.] It's just a suggestion, though.
[Privately attached with the message is an image of a very ornately drawn map of Adstring, complete with little buildings and dangerous areas circled in red. Electricity and running water locations are highlighted, little Xes over uninhabitable buildings, and the word 'occupied' written across the majority of the others.]

I've never been on my own before.

You're sure you want to stay alone?

Date: 2011-11-16 07:18 pm (UTC)Would you take one of my spirits with you- as protection? Just until you feel comfortable finding a housemate.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-16 07:21 pm (UTC)[Immediately, intensely uncomfortable.]
-the reason I want to live alone is I kind of already have too many spirits in my life.

Date: 2011-11-16 07:34 pm (UTC)[He snaps his fingers and a light blue snake poofs into existence on his shoulders. A snake though- Nathaniel frowned and murmured something to it, and within a few seconds, it had transformed into the sweetest, fluffiest bunny rabbit that could possibly exist, tumbling into Nat's lap.]
There- this form is better for girls, isn't it? Anyway, they're not really vengeful ghosts, just- sort of beings from another place. They're made of magic, you see, not- dead people.

Date: 2011-11-16 07:37 pm (UTC)[Flat, challenging. Girls indeed.]
It's a really interesting talent, though.

Date: 2011-11-16 07:43 pm (UTC)[He blinks for a moment before picking the rabbit up by the scruff of its neck and moving it off of his lap, where it's free to grow into a five hundred pound bengal tiger. Oh Faisal, the things you do for respect.]
It's not really the teeth and claws that would come in handy- though I suppose they'd work too. He can do magic in any form- Detonations, Glamours, Shields... Not as strong as some, but it should be adequate.

Date: 2011-11-16 07:46 pm (UTC)[She shrugs.]
That's really beautiful, though. He's a he?
no subject
Date: 2011-11-16 07:53 pm (UTC)[Patting absently at the tiger's head.]
At any rate, his name is Faisal.

Date: 2011-11-16 07:54 pm (UTC)[Finally a little charmed.]
no subject
Date: 2011-11-16 07:58 pm (UTC)[The tiger inclines its head a little after speaking in a low, rumbly voice. Nat nods.]
Don't expect too much company from him- he's not big on talking- but he can protect you if you like.
