I do hate to interrupt, [ comes the voice behind the network's latest entry. his voice is weighted down heavily by a distinct brand of southern drawl — georgia flavor, to those able to recognize it ] but seein' as I won't be goin' anywhere any time soon, I do believe proper introductions are in order. The name's Henry, and I hail from a small town called Purgatory. It was 2017, last I checked, but I don't suppose dates mean much in a "wondrous" place such as this.

[ yeah, the alice in wonderland references are completely lost on a man who missed out on not only the book's publishing, but all the disney adaptations that followed it. ]

You wouldn't happen to know if things you were... say, tethered to in your previous, less than wonderful life are still that way in this one, would you? I'm also interested in hearing what one does in Wonderland, other than wait for one of these so-called "events" to crop up, of course. A man of my specific skillset could get awful bored mighty fast without something worthwhile to entertain him.

And you, what would you classify yourself as? Good company or complete asshole? Have to say, doesn't quite seem like you'd fit into the latter category.

[ doc, stop. "charm the hell out of 'em" may be your default, but flirting with an original vampire is not a good idea. ]

[Rebekah is amused by that, a playful grin tugging at her lips.]

If you knew me better, you might think differently. [for all that rebekah can be nice and charming she can also be petty and mean, and has a nasty, nasty temper.]

I'd say I'm a mixture of the two, though I like to think more good company than asshole.

[wildwest]

Aren't we all.

[ because doc could be a downright asshole when he wanted to be. ]

And I could say much the same in regards to myself.

[easily]

Well, from what I can see, you don't seem like much of an asshole. [but judgement in men has never been exactly rebekah's strong suit.]

Appearances can be very deceiving, Miss Rebekah.

[ doc pls. ]

[easily]

Oh, don't I know it. [her own included, of course.] And please, just Rebekah is fine.

[ there's a joke here somewhere. an original vampire and immortal gunslinger walk into a bar— ]

Rebekah it is. [ were he not trying to keep his identity on the down-low, this would be where he'd insist she call him doc. ]

You ever get tired of everythin' here bein' free?

Not particularly. [She shrugs her shoulders a little.] I suppose it's fairly priveleged to say this but my family never was wanting much -- we were rather affluent.

[well, not when they were human but once they were vampires and could just compel everyone...]

[wildwest]

Affluent is another way of saying that you were loaded.

[ he raises his glass to her, tipping his head back to drain the contents. ]

[easily]

Indeed it is. We were quite well off.

[like literally how many houses do they have in the world? no one knows. it's a lot.]
