[ The feed begins by broadcasting one of the private rooms in communal housing, a blank space without adornment, even the bed unused. This person is very new.
The person in question sits at the desk, bright-eyed and smiling. When he speaks it's with a posh British accent. ]
Hello my loves. How are we all doing today?
[ Simon turns in his chair, one way and then the other in increments. It's a perfectly natural movement, nothing odd, but it's a tell nonetheless. He's wired in spite of appearing relaxed, upset in spite of his smile.
No one who doesn't know him very well would be able to tell.
Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, there's no one here who knows him that well. ]
This is an interesting situation in which we've found ourselves. Novel even for me.
[ A wink. ]
Anyone out there interested in a cocktail and a chat? I'd love to learn a bit more about our mercifully non-utilitarian surroundings.

Uh... So... What's your name?
no subject
Simon Templar, at your service. [ Said with the air of someone who’s used to people recognizing his name. ] And who do I have the great pleasure of addressing?
no subject
[ YEAH NO, 'SIMON TEMPLAR' RINGS ZERO BELLS. Then again, he could be related to Cam like... on his mother's side?? Maybe??? ]
Jeff Calhoun! Also at your service! Not that I have very many services to offer, unless you need a high school teacher...
no subject
[ Get it because he’s old.
Another mischief-laced smile. ]
The noble profession. Molding the minds of future generations. You’re a braver man than most.

Sounds like you had a teacher who made a real impact.
What kind of work are you in?
no subject
So he does so, answering that first bit with a smile and moving on. ]
Wealth management.
no subject
...oh! Like an investment banker? [ Or, like, WHOEVER IT IS THAT MAKES RICH PEOPLE RICHER. ]
no subject
Something to that effect. [ He just helps assholes invest in the future of humanity instead of themselves. ]
What do you do here? Teach? They offered me several different kinds of positions, though I haven't yet decided whether to accept them.
no subject
Yeah, I teach, ah... basic subjects to kids who need special attention. Because of their magic.
What kinds of work did they offer you?
no subject
Because of their magic. [ He doesn't mean to sound so disbelieving, particularly not given the whole STUCK IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE thing, but at least he's familiar with the idea of other universes being real.
Magic? Not so much.
Simon clears his throat, reclaiming his confidence. ]
Ah, consultation with the Riverview PD, for starters.
[ What is a wealth manager doing with the RPD? IT IS A MYSTERY. ]
