((Well after seeing that everything is alright, guess it is time to see how well I will do and earn my place on this forum. P.S. I know this is bad timing, but if I have future questions will I just address them on the story's pg or somewhere else instead of posting them here?))

The street rats and other rodents scamper about as he moved through the back alleys of the streets of London. All of this familiar to him in the lower and poorer parts of town, but that wasn't where he was moving about. No, he was in the upper and richer districts this time. Completely new territory to him that also meant that he wasn't safe if things go South for him. Than again he had to remember this isn't the slums anymore with people that know him and what he has done. Still, he had to be careful, after all someone with his appearance could be mistaken as a pickpocket or burglar in these parts and the old bobbies wouldn't care less if he was innocent or not. He met those that were corrupt in his past, but that all in the past now. Determine to leave it all behind.

After a couple of hours walking and climbing through the back streets of the city, with a now and again check up on the main street to make sure wasn't lost, he finally found where he was going to. The Society of the Arcane Sciences. Although he has seen a few of the plays and heard the stories of "mad scientists" he had his doubt about it all. After all they do call themselves rogue scientists and get away with it. If they can make the public at least turn a blind eye with what he has heard and with a title like that than surely he could find work from them.

Approaching the front door of the Society's building he takes in a couple of deep breathes. Taking a quick look at the windows to get a reflection of himself. My Lord did he look terrible, than again so would anyone after living 8 years in the slums of the city. With a quick spit shine and straightening of his clothes it was now or never. Not a lot for him to go back to anyway.

With a couple of heavy knocking thuds on the doors he makes his presence known for someone to answer.

((Now is the time to see if anyone greets him or call the cops. Look forward to the RP introduction.))

((I'm going to assume this takes place after Gabriel's conversation with Catt, in the "Gabby Utterpun" intro.))

Even over the sound of the Victrola, Utterpun hears someone at the door. Having made his way around much of the rest of the room, he decides to answer it, even though it really isn't his place to do so. After all, he figures, it is a party. The more, the merrier!

The door in front of Brian swings inward to reveal a dapper-looking, middle-aged man dressed in a slate-blue suit. He has a drink in his left hand and a relaxed and genial demeanor about him. Lively music can be heard playing in the background, and the smell of food and liquor wafts out of the building.

"Hello there!" he greets enthusiastically, extending his hand, seeming to pay no mind whatsoever to Brian's less-than-fancy attire. "Gabriel Utterpun!" he introduces himself. "To whom do I owe the pleasure?"

Surprise by the smell of liquor and the finely cook food, he takes a moment to breath it all in. No scent of finer foods and drinks have ever manage to reach him until this very moment. No wonder those he worked with in the slums tried to live like the people of this part of the city. Who can blame them.

Staring down at Gabriel after a quick second to breath it all in he takes off his flat hat and takes Gabriel's hand and make sure to shake it gentle. "The name is Brian. Brian Patrick O'Donnel. I come seeking work at this establishment," he said as he takes a look inside over the man in front of him and finally notices the music playing the drink in his other hand, "Is this a bad time?"

"Not at all! Come on in--the more, the merrier!" he replies, stepping aside and gesturing at the main hall as he makes way for the larger man, then shuts the door behind him. "We're having one hall of a party. I imagine the chap you need to speak with is somewhere in the mix."

Someone else catches Gabby's attentions; it just happens that he needs to attend to them before getting to know Brian better.

"Excuse me a moment, won't you? And do make sure to enjoy yourself!" he admonishes apologetically before flitting off.

Raising a eyebrow at Gabriel, normally most people would just tell him that he wasn't welcome and close the door on him, not invite him to a party that he wasn't suppose to be a part of in the first place. Still, he got him closer inside than he thought he would on his own. Thinking that he would need to shove his foot in the door at first to get them to listen to him.

As he enter into the main hall, he stood amaze at the collection of interesting and strange inventions and findings. A man with the right connections could make a fortune off of all of this. Standing in amazement as he doesn't notice Gabriel depart from his company.

Someone has been observing Brian and his interactions from the far side of the foyer already, an amused half-smirk on his face. The fellow was trying hard, wasn't he?

Removing himself from the safety of the wall, the man who had been intently watching him before strides over. He's a man of average height, no more than thirty by face alone, and despite his well-dressedness, his hair is dark and unkempt. As he reaches the man, he offers the same smirk he'd had before. "Hello."

(( Suffice to say, Elias has spent a... lot of time in the slummy areas of London. Would he recognize Brian? ))

((Only if he wants to. Brian has beaten people up for money or valuables, been illegal street bare knuckle boxing matches, and going into burning homes to take what valuables he can, but he never really killed anyone with intention to do so and he try and leave a little something behind for his victims to ease his guilt. Take your pick. My questions is would he recognize Elias at all in this case?))

Turning to face the arrival of the new person in front of him. He greets the man's smirk with his own smile. "Hello to you to," he said as he tilts his head to him, "I hope that you are one of the people that work here. So far my luck hasn't shown me anyone yet."

((While I am at it. Just to get a feel of this forum, even though I am chatting with Lizzy and now chatting with Elias, are they both with me right now or is this a case where the typing of columns separate the two instances?))

(( Elias and his associates were very secretive about what they did, but Brian might've seen him around or caught a passing rumor about his involvement in some rather risqué experiments.

To be honest, the timeline system is a bit... confusing. I think they just happen in alternate timelines -- one where he spoke to Elias, another where he spoke to Lizzy, and the finished/more successful or eventful one becomes canon.

Personally, I just say it all happened in an order that works best for it to make sense, but that's just me! ))

The man, for a brief moment, squints -- something about this one was familiar, almost...

... he'd be better off not pointing it out, he decided. If Elias recognized him, it only followed that it was possible he could recognize Elias.

He offers a gloved hand with a nod. "I live here, yes. Looking for someone specific, are we?" The man's voice, though disinterested and monotonous, has the thick roots of a Greek accent, fused poorly with an Englishman's.

((So far it just seems like going with which one is more exciting or drives the story the furthest seems like the best unfortunately. Still, going to try and have some sense to the chaos at least. For now I am just going to assume this is off of the one that Jekyll1886 started since this is what is being replied from.))

Takes Elias's gloved hand and gives it a firm handshake. Noticing the different accent, but can't really say much about it. He wasn't a well-traveled person or the best of the best with the most educated after all. "Yes I am. I am trying to find whoever is in charge of this place. I am trying to find work," he said as he rubs the back of his head, "I thought you and whoever else works here could use someone to carry any heavy stuff or keeps maintenance or whatever else you may need."

Raises a eyebrow of his own, not really understanding the statement. "What do you mean you just don't work here? I thought this was a giant laboratory that you mad...," he said realizing his mistake as he tries to correct himself, "I mean rogue scientists work at. Sorry, I saw one of those plays a couple of weeks ago." Rubbing the back of his head as he feels ashamed at what he almost said.

Elias chuckles softly as he explains, "Most of us live here in addition -- hence being called 'Lodgers', I'd believe." He pauses before continuing, "I've gathered so far that this is more safehouse-esque than anything."

Relaxes as he takes look around the current surroundings of the building. "Funny, I kind of find it hard that people live here to be honest," he said as he continues to look around at the room in disbelief, "Yet, the idea of a safe house seems more realistic when it comes to the things I have heard about you guys."

"Well, like I said I been to one of those 'Mad Scientist' plays that someone may see in the theaters now and again. Besides that I really have no good idea what goes on here beside the occasional gossips. I just never thought someone would live in a place that people can attack when their distrust of science can happen at any moment," Saying all of this with a straight face. Until today he never really heard much about the Society nor what they really were except from the gossip and rumors in the slums and the moments where he had enough money to see something in the nicer parts of town.

Takes in another moment to take a look at the main hall and its collection and than back at Elias. If people do live here than he has to admit. They do have expensive, but interesting taste in decorations. "Well... I guess since people live here I think I need to ask a new question than. Any idea of who I speak to that will let me work here and how you put it become a 'Lodger' or is that only for the scientists and not the staff workers?" he says with a honest slight smile.

He frowns as he watches Elias walks off. Now he has to hope that no one accuses him. Still, he seen how some of the people look at this part of town. If anything the man who is normally the most uptight and businesslike is the one in charge.

As he starts to try make his way into the party, he can't help stop by the tables of food. No idea when or if he will have another chance at food this... "Snap out it!" he thought to himself, "You came looking for work. There will be time to have food later." Trying his best to keep the food off his mind and looking for someone that looks important. Stopping at the table with food now and again.

(Sorry to butt in I just thought I help explain the timeline weirdness a bit. So for Introduction stories all the conversations you have [the different threads] are separate events considered as alternate timelines, however for simplicity sake all intros are considered cannon but rarely come up in later main RPs and Side stories. These conversations are just used to establish which characters know each other and their relationships. They often don't impact later stories [only to establish relationships between characters] unless they influence or are referenced to in the main story [look at Hela's arc and the introduction stories in the wikia for examples and more explanations]. I hope this clears it up a bit as introductions are some of the weirdest story lines as far as time lines go. For now treat each thread as it's own separate story and Catt and I will sort through the timelines when we transfer this to the wikia.)

((Alright, so just to make sure. This introduction is just to establish relations with other characters as well as allow people to get a feel for my character at the same time. The different introductions are as real as any other RP, but in time it will be decide upon which one becomes the real timeline event in the sense, but do not affect the main story much at all. In the end I assume that my character will be accepted and treated as part of the Society's staff. Am I right in this thought process or am I getting some key information mixed up or forgetting something?))

Lizzy ran to the door and ran to quick her robotic leg fumbling and her faceplanting on to it. She fell back wards and groaned before sitting up and opening the door with her magic. "Hello?" Lizzy looked as filthy as he did covered in dirt but she still managed to smell nice. Her robotic leg gleamed in the light let in through the door her mess of her green hair unkept through the years as a rats nest. "Who are you?"

Looks down at Lizzy as he takes his attention away from what is going on. Clearing his throat as he holds his flat hat in his hands and tries to smile without looking terrifying. "Hello. I am Brian," he said as he makes sure to stand up tall and keeps his confidence, "I am looking for some kind of work here at the Society of Arcane Sciences. Can you direct me to the one in charge of this place?" Not paying much attention to the filth she is cover in. Assuming that it is all part of some sort of crazy science that goes beyond him anyway.

He let's out a heavy sigh seeing that he isn't getting anywhere at this point. So far he only manage to make it inside only a little bit at a time. At this point he would be better off just wondering around the place looking for someone. Looking down at Lizzy with a disappointed face as he put his hat back on, he asks, "Well mind accompanying along than to try and find someone who does live or work here than? Don't want to go alone and have them think I am here to cause trouble for them."

"Well since I do not know what your cart looks like guess I will have to carry you instead," he said as he smiles warmly. Not remembering the last time he felt this welcome in a long time as he goes to pick up Lizzy and tries to set her on his shoulder. "So, which of these people are we looking for first and what do they look like? I doubt they are all as small as you."

Lets out a light humph as watches the box float up to Lizzy. A little surprise, but not by much. He seen some people learn how to breath fire using the fire trick that many have learned. "Nice trick," he said as he slows down a little to let the tool box reach her.

"Trick? This is no trick. It's magic silly" Lizzy said opening the box and holding out her robotic leg and fixed her foot. It then floated back to the cart. "Let me prove it to you" She said holding her hand out she made a candle right in front of them disappear.

Chuckles and waves his hand dismissively. "Is that it?" he said as he taps her robotic foot to try and get an idea of the metal it is made out of. Been awhile since he worked in a steel mill or something similar. "I seen men breath fire with nothing more, but a open flame and a bottle of strong alcohol. After awhile they all look like tricks to you."

Even though he cannot really see the tears, he does hear the tone of her voice slightly. Taking in a deep breath before he speaks, "Never said that you do what I suggest. After all, I am a idiot who cannot hold a job more than a couple of weeks at best." Even though he hates to admit this, he at least hopes to show that he really have no idea what he is even doing himself with his own life. Besides, most of the people he knew he use to run with know this and so would the lodgers as well eventually.

Lizzy composed herself a forced cheerfulness that sounded genuine. She has mastered the skill over the years at home, with her being let out and abused. Her mother asking her if she was okay but she would do what she did now, just put on a bright smile on her face. "Forget i did anything! Come on let's find you someone! You're no idiot, you just haven't been learned enough knowledge wise but you know how to live off the streets! That's intelligence!" Lizzy grinned her tears having been wiped off. "now where is catt?" She asked herself looking around

((Back, may miss some stuff, my apologies))

After following Lizzy to the door he looked over to Catt. Giving her a small wave and a smile as he makes sure to take off his flat hat, "Greetings."

For a moment while he watches the two chat between each other, he was surprise, sadden, and then relieved. Surprise that Lizzy was a teacher, especially for someone that looked so young. Then sadden when she was going to leave, but then relieved when that she is going to stay. Yet, over all surprise that magic can be consider a science.

When the mention of finding a room for Lizzy comes up he coughs loudly on purpose to gain their attention, "Don't forget about big old me."

(No worries. And apparently Dreamer/Lizzy is going to make a separate discussion for something? Idk.)

Oh, sorry! *Catt said, finally turning her attention to the newcomer.* I'm Catt, nice to meet you! *She offered a handshake.* So you're looking for work here?

smiles and nods his head at Catt, "Nice to meet you as well," he says as he goes to shake his hand firmly, "Name is Brian Patrick O'Donnel and you are right. I am looking for work here. Assuming that you have a position available for me."

(I noticed that you tend to use the word "than" instead of "then" a lot. "Then" implies a sequence of events, eg. "I went to the park, then played on the swings." while "than" is used to draw a comparison, eg. "The tree was taller than any I had seen before." Beyond that, just keeping an eye on present/past tense for narration. I really like reading your stuff so far, keep it up! :D )

* This guy's been through some things. A warey boy thought, looking over the sizable stranger from his hidden perch. And why do these people always show up at night? Despite the man's considerable stature, the boy didn't get the sense that this stranger meant to be seen as a threat. He decided to make his presence known.* Who're you? *He called down from his inverted position on the porch roof, high above the Society's entrance.*

((Due to the fact that these events are happening at different timelines, I am just going to assume that it is just me and you right now. Someone is going to have to fill me in at this point on which timeline becomes the main one or confirm that they all happen at the same time or something. I am going to get confuse at this rate. Also on whether or not how RP things work between more than two people. So far I only done 1 on 1. But for now...))

With his hat in his hand as he stands at the front door he turns around in surprise. Looking around for whoever was speaking to him until he finally looks up. "I am Brian Patrick O'Donnel," he said as he stares up at the boy with a questioning look, "I came looking for work here. Are you sure you are suppose to be up there?" Taking steps back in case he falls.

((P.S. I thought I was doing this during the middle of the day? Oh well))

(As far as I've been able to discern, introduction stories have all their timelines as "having happened" since we don't reference them beyond whether or not two characters have met. The timeline shenanigans tend to be confusing, yeah. But you'll get the hang of it, personally I tend to tailor my narration to idecat what happens when in any stories I host. As in, each character encounters mine at a different time of the day. As for group RPs, they tend to be rare and can only seem to happen if everyone involved is online at the same time.)

Don't know, don't care. I climb around the building a lot when no one is around, so who'd stop me? *He said, maintaining his distance. Despite the darkness O'Donnel was able to see the lad's eyes were different colours against the brown backdrop of his skin.* If you're looking for work, you'd need to speak to either Dr. Jekyll, Lanyon, or Rachel.

(It was? Sorry! I didn't see a time of day mentioned in the description. Did I miss it?)

((At this point am I safe just to assume that after the introduction is over that my character has been accepted to the Society than and people more or less know my character? As for hosting stories, anything I should know about that?))

"Climbing for fun?" he says as if the idea is foreign to him. He had to learned how to climb fast and well enough in his past, but this just seems to surprise him a little. "Well if I am looking for one of those three, are you one of them or a fourth person I get to meet today?"

((Nah, it is alright. I am certain I did not mention any time of day. I was assuming it was middle of the day because that made sense for when people are out and about and should be awake. Either way, going with night time right now since that is how it started.))

(Yup!

When you host your own story, you're taking the lead of the narrative. It's like switching to the role of GM for a single story arch. Beyond that, the "create discussion" plage has it's own directions.)

Second option. I'm Sozo. *He said, flipping to hang from the roof. He swung once, twice, and let go! Falling to land on the stone archway just above the doors. He sat there scrutinising the man more closely. From this distance, O'Donnel could now see that the boy had a pierced eyebrow and lip rings, as well as a white patch in the middle of his otherwise black hair.* Why would you want to work here?

(That would make more sense, sorry!)

(("Create discussion" plage? Are you talking about the webiste's rules for posting and discussions? As for the GM role if I host a story, I assume as well that I would leave my character out of the spot light and more as a support character and put others in situations on my behalf int he sense?))

He watches Sozo jump down with a bit of fright to watch someone jump and swing from that high. Trying his best to smile honestly while Sozo looks at him. Although he his surprise by the person's choice of piercing, actually more surprise he has any at all. He thought people here were all high class and what not. The hair, no explanation to that, maybe scientific accident?

"Well..." he saids as he thinks for a second, "That depends if you want the short story or the long story? Short story is I thought that you guys could use some muscle to carry some heavy invention, machinery, or maybe some big discovery find," flexes his muscles on his arm, "Or at least have someone helping keeping the place in great condition. That is the short story. The long one, just like the short version, but I have really no where else to go to be honest. I only held a job at best a couple of weeks at a time. I'm really out of options," saying all of this with a honest expression, but with holding information about him being a street thug and criminal.

((its alright. I deserve some of the blame as well.))

* Sozo thought for a moment.* As far as I know, the lodgers often need help with heavy loads. And if we can find a room, you will most likely get hired. *he said, dropping to the ground in front of the man, who now towered over him.* Question, do you know hand-to-hand?

(Fair enough. Yes, I currently have four! Catt Hatter[my main], Sozo[her friend and self defense instructor], Elder[my resident human-munching monster], and Ethan[Catt's demon-possessed ring]! I try to keep the number of characters involved in a story down to two at the max though.)

* The boy shrugged.* Nah, just curious. You look like you'd be fun to spar against sometime.

Also, I know what I said, but had an idea for a RP event that I can host that would fit with the timing of my character's introduction. Burglars breaking in and stealing things and someone has to point the blame or label suspicious.))

He chuckles after hearing the Sozo's answer. "Thanks for the compliment, but believe me. I think I had enough with violence," he says as he takes a breath in, "The idea of sparring doesn't really appeal to me as much as it used to."

(Ah, right! Sorry. Sozo's text is underlined. Catt's text is plain. Elder's is bold, and italics when he's quoting something. [Which is pretty much always.] And Ethan speaks in blue! Usually I try to say who's speaking in my narration.

You're wanting O'Donnel to get accused of robbery?)

* Sozo shrugged again.* If you change your mind, tell me. *He walked over to the doors, the sound bare feet slapping against stone sharp against the quiet evening. He pushed open the door.* Coming?

((Thank you or the heads up on the differences. I will try and remember. As for the idea, well it is a idea. Considering that he only manage to hold a jump for a couple of weeks at a time, his criminal past, and his looks would make people suspicious of him. His looks alone is enough to do that. Plus, the stuff the Society have can be consider a gold mine to some if you think about it. That and those from his past wont leave him alone at times. Either way, I am just tossing an idea out there and see what people think for now.))

Follows after Sozo, taking note of his appearance. "You are not from this part of the world are you?" he asks as he climbs up the steps and follows, "Actually, better question, I thought you Society people were suppose to be high class."

(No problem. As for the idea, I think it's good. When you post the discussion you should probably mention in some way that there is reason to suspect O'Donnel, otherwise people might miss their cue, so to speak.)

* I'm not even from this world, Sozo thought to himself. He scowled a bit at the comment about class.* Higher than some, not as high as others. We get by. *He said curtly, heading for the back of the building.*

He follows Sozo towards the back of the building. Shrugging at his statement. Guess his words did have some truth. Especially if he is one of the people working here. Doesn't look that special to him. Just reminds him of every other beggar and poor person in the slums he met.

He looks confuse when Sozo takes him straight to a empty room. "Whoa, whoa, hold up," He said as he turns to face Sozo as he starts to leave, "You just lead me to a room and just giving me it? Didn't you say that you are not one of the people I need to talk about working here?"

Sighs as turns to face the empty room that was given to him for the night. He knew that he would regret it, but he takes up Sozo's offer. Leaving his company and entering into the room. Walking up to the long bed and rubbing his hand on the mattress before sitting and laying down. "Wow," he thought to himself, "This bed is comfortable... a bit too... comfor... Zzzzzz." His thoughts and mind sleeping into his sleep before he knew it. It been awhile since he slept on any real bed that wasn't cheaply mad for factory workers and scrounge up from the garbage, actually he couldn't remember. As he dozes off into his sleep, he begins to snore loudly.
