Today there is an old man in a robe laying out on the lawn of the complex. He looks a little dazed and confused. Probably because he just landed there. A short ways from his head is his hat, proclaiming "Wizzard" in sequins, some of which have fallen off.

There's also what appears to be a chest of some sorts sitting nearby. Of course, normal chests don't have feet, but who said it was normal?

The old man reaches his hand vaguely along the ground towards the hat until his fingers locate it. Even stunned as he is, he makes sure he didn't lose it.

Looking down at the man, Tielle eyes him cautiously. It's not that she doesn't LIKE wizards, but the last wizard she ran into nearly set her world on a course for total destruction, a fate which she only temporarily averted before arriving here at the complex.

"It's not often I see someone adept in the ways of magic around this place. Who are you?"

Her question came off a little more blunt than she had meant it to, but she'd rather get right to the point and not risk any more catastrophe.

The chest turns towards her, almost as though to look at her, though it has no eyes. At least none that can be seen. Still, it certainly gives the impression of staring.

The man meanwhile seems to have finaly gathered himself enough to sit up, dusting his hat off and placing it atop his head. He's watching her warily. You never can tell what people are like just by looking at them afterall.

"Rincewind. My name is Rincewind." he replies. "Don't suppose you could tell me where I've landed?"

[tielle_mortevus]

"It's an inn of sorts, though most people around here call it an apartment complex. I truly don't know all too much about it myself."

Looking down at the chest, Tielle tilts her head, inspecting it from a distance.

"What an odd choice for a travel companion..."

She says this more to herself in thought, rather than directed at anyone in particular as she pulls out a small book and begins scribbling something down.

He takes a look around. It doesn't look like anyplace on the Disc he's been before. Let alone like any Inn he's ever visited.

"Well that's helpful, I suppose. But what I really meant was what this place is called. It doesn't look anything like any place I've ever been before."

He eyes the chest for a moment, just to make sure it's not doing anything unusual, but it seems it's just standing there looking at things. Or giving the impression it is anyway.

"That's my luggage. It follows me everywhere. Bit like a big dog really. One that's made of wood and has lots of feet and always knows where I am."

[tielle_mortevus]

"Interesting..."
Taking out a small book, she begins scribbling down some more notes.
"To be honest I'm not even sure if this place has a name, and I assure you, it isn't like anywhere you've ever seen."

[halfbrick_inna_sock]

"Well, there are worse things in life than not knowing where you are."

He doesn't seem to be in any danger just yet, for instance. That's a nice change of pace.

He watches he write for a moment.

"Is this place very exciting?"

He hopes she says no.

[tielle_mortevus]

"That all depends on what you consider...exciting..."
Closing her book, looks up at the wizard with a sly grin.
"After two hundred years or so not much excites me anymore, though this place can be rather interesting to say the least, at least from what I can tell...."

"Hmm~" A voice hums, coming over to check on him. "What's this now?"

He ignores the mage for a moment in favor of the chest. "What a curious object. I've never seen the like before." He turns to smile at Rincewind. "You, sir. What is this chest?"

[halfbrick_inna_sock]

He sits up, groaning at the ache in his back from the landing. At hearing the voice he turns to the newcomer, putting his hat on his head as he struggles to his feet.

He gives the chest a sour look.

"My luggage. Wouldn't get too close if I were you."

It's fair warning. It's a vicious little thing. He's seen it eat people. Just swallows them up. Sometimes it spits 'em back out later. Sometimes it doesn't. Usualy they aren't in the best of condition though.

He looks again at the stranger.

"Can you tell me where I am? I haven't got a clue, myself."
