(Pregame - LE) 'Oh no! Not again!'

[Bria Tomay]

With that he jumped up and bowed, "Cyprian Valdemar Kircheis," he beamed. "It is indeed, and what a treat. Yours was a most magnificent performance my lady. Consider me a newfound admirer."

Once pleasantries are exchanged, regardless of how feeble, he'll continue.

"Please, won't you and your companions join us? There's ample room to accommodate everyone. Your fellow guildmates here were just telling me all about your guild and your city." Without waiting for a reply he would begin making room for everyone.

Bria looks at Cyprian with a curious interest before nodding to the twins. "Well, thank you! You play yourself, I see." She motions to his instrument on his person. "It's nice to hear such high praise from a fellow musician. Can't exactly fall back on the silversmith business, can I? Have to constantly innovate the artform to keep up interests. You can have the talent for it, but if you don't add a little spectacle to your performance, it's hard to get people to remember you."

She turned made a seat as it was being offered and sat down. She wasn't too worried about the potential threats a unknown could bring.

"Oh, L'Orr, you have no idea." Bria slumps in her chair and sighs. "It took me weeks to get all that right. I can only cast that spell so many times too, so I'm limited in my practice time. So I had to actually memorize each of the playing parts to properly imprint the illusion at the right points and keep it right each time so it's not off. I think it's worth it, though. I'm not even that good at percussion instruments, to be honest, but I think I got the drums up to sync with the beat."

After that, she paused her statement and stifled a laugh at how Cyprian made his entrance into the Planes. "Well then...seems like we should try to get you home. If you want to, of course; you have the choice to hang around. Now, it may sound obvious, but did you try going back in the way you came?"

[Whisper]

Hush had followed Bria back to the table and was once more content to sit beside Whisper. The Hunter scratched the hound's ears and grinned as he listened to the introductions. He greeted the twins with a nod, but otherwise his attention was on Bria.

[Cyprian Kircheis]

~Snip~ "Whisper and I are doing our best to instruct him in the way of the city''

At that he rubbed his neck sheepishly. "Admittedly I've always been a poor student." There's a good natured chuckle.

~Snip~ "Well then...seems like we should try to get you home. If you want to, of course, you have the choice to hang around. Now, it may sound obvious, but did you try going back in the way you came?"

"I did." He outwardly lamented while inwardly dancing a jigue. "Several times to L'Orr and companies' amusement."

'A sobriquet I can both pronounce and remember. He thought, 'Thank the gods!'

"And yes," he continued. "Much as I'd enjoy sharing a plane with such talent and beauty." He tips his hat. "I fear home remains the demesne of the heart. And calls, and calls, so I wish to depart." He plucks a few notes for flare then grins. "I hope you won't hold it against me."

[Bria Tomay]

"Well, at the very least, you should take a moment at some point and thank whatever god or goddess you worship that you ended up in our broom closet, instead of someone else's. Could have ended up in the Hive, or worse, the Harmonium's broom closet in The Barracks. You'd have lived, but they would have held you for at least several weeks. At least this way you can have a drink while you get adjusted."

She chuckles a little and sighs. "Sigil's a wonderful place, but there are plenty around who'd take advantage of it. Much as I like to think well of my fellow Cagers, there are plenty who'd take advantage of a Clueless like yourself, even with that nice blade attached to your hip." She nods. "You got people to get back to and places to be; nobody likes unexpected detours, so nothing to get hurt about. So, how about we start where you're from, and then maybe I can point you in the right direction. Who knows, we might be able to get you a key quickly and get you back before antipeak."

[Cyprian Kircheis]

He opened his mouth to speak then hesitated, 'Anti-what?' He thought.

"Ahh, yes. I hail from the city of Zobeck in the plane of Midgard. As these esteemed sirs had no notion of its existence before my arrival, I suspect it a backwater of a plane. I hope you will have at least heard of it?"

[Whisper]

"To be fair, I don't always ask where I'm going when a client sends me out."

[Bria Tomay]

Bria sits there silent for a moment. Opening her mouth a little, making thinking noises.

After which there is a large smile on her lips as she nods her head with a affirmation. "Nope, Never heard of it!" There is a small look of excitement on her face, as she said those words, however.

"To be fair, I don't always ask where I'm going when a client sends me out."

"Not knowing is part of the challenge though, right? Well, unless it's like Avernus or something. Probably need a bit of prep time for that heat, if nothing else."

[L'Orr-hui]

L'Orr-hui could not help but massage his temples: The cavalier attitude of the other indepts was sometimes responsible for quite a few headaches.

''There is an unphatomable amount of material planes, crystal spheres, pocket planes and semi-planes. All of them have names given to them by travellers, the inhabitants or their creator...often all different. It is possible your plane is known by another name...we just need to find specificities to cross-reference.''

[Whisper]

"It's not that it can't be found. It will just take time." Whisper added. "Almost any plane can be found and reached, with time. Other than mine, perhaps."

[Bria Tomay]

"What they said is pretty my sentiments as well.." Bria smiles. "So you get to hang out in the Cage for a little while. Consider it a holiday. Has to be someone here who knows how to get you home. Until then, kick back, relax and, so long as your jink is made of gold, you should be fine. If not...well, I can't speak for the owner, but I could use a warm-up act if you're any good."
