Right, here's the thing - I need a nerd. A geek. A smart guy. Or girl, whatever. I ain't overly picky.

[He shrugs his shoulders, casual as anything, taking a long sip of his beer. Sara may have told him this was not the best method to catch himself a genius but given the chance of there being some hanging around this joint, he thinks it's the perfect way. When in doubt, post an ad.]

This guy I know got brainwashed into being the king of dicks and I'm getting kind of sick of his shit so I need someone who'd be able to do some sci-fi sciencey stuff on his head. I have a vague idea how to do it but I just can't remember the details. [He's pretty much forgotten how they originally did it back home but he can unhelpfully offer vague information and a beer while you work. A+ service.]

All the 'smart' ones I know are annoyingly the biggest idiots around, I'm looking for someone less inclined to be stupid as hell. Help me out and maybe I'll help you out. Though my skills are limited to burning and breaking stuff.

[At least he knows his strengths? If you want a bonfire, ka-ching.]

I know a good looking chick if that sweetens the deal. Ain't saying she's gonna touch you but you can admire from afar. Really far. I also know some easy dudes if that's your thing. [Hey, whatever fixes this mess.]

I'm not.

[She pauses for a moment before smirking a bit.]

At least not the turn of this century.

[ his eyebrows simply raise, and ray nods slow and understanding. ]

That...shouldn't be surprising. [ and yet he sounds so very surprised. ] I want you to know I'm trying very hard not to ask the question I shouldn't be asking right now.

[ it actually sort of looks like it's hurting him actually. ]

[deathlessness]

[She laughs a bit at that, before shaking her head.]

Ask me whatever you like. I'm fairly certain the answer isn't what you think.

[shrinkage]

If you aren't from the turn of the century-- when are you from?

[ he counts himself a time traveler, like, third? but it still burns in him to collect all of these antique friends... ]

Technically I was brought to Wonderland, it was 2014.

[For starters.]

But I was born around the end of the first millennium.

[shrinkage]

[ still wide, ray's eyes blink rapidfire. he smirks, and he cannot help his stupid self: ]

Well, hey! You don't look a day over five-hundred.

[ raymond pls. ]

[deathlessness]

[She laughs.]

I've got good genes.

[It's a joke, but it's also true, so there's that.]

And there was an immortality spell involved.
