No, but would you like one?

Mr. Northman. I'm sure Tammany and Mr. Sullivan would disapprove of me abandoning ship in an election year. Where am I exactly?

I was 14 ahead in pool game with Jack Conway ~~hour sixteeen~~ so things are a little hazy.

I think you've managed to slip a little out of your own timeline. You're in London. And you're a few decades off.

Magic stuff I assume. Best to keep my head down and out of the way then. I...know there's a Council somewhere around here. Thank you.

[[Locked]]

Magic stuff indeed.

Yes, the Council is here. I'm surprised they haven't descended on you already.

If you need anything, want anything I hope you won't hesitate to ask.

[[Locked]]

Knowing them their response was to be twiddling their thumbs or war. Those tend to be the options.

Thank you, that's... very generous.

[[Locked]]

Recent events make war a much stronger possibility. They did something - it provoked a rather extreme reaction from the family. And now the Council's hands are tied. They can't afford a war of attrition right now - but if something happened to you they might risk it.

[[Locked]]

Right. Head's down. Ears open and if I catch anything interesting...I'll let you know. I have no idea if the blood you gave me last year still takes given...

Apparently interesting time. Jake mentioned someone named Luciano? Maybe he can keep track on me?

[[Locked]]

Always ahead of the curve. It's why I like you.

You can have a bit of my blood in a vial. Keep it in case of emergency.

Yes, you're safe with Charlie.

[[Locked]]

Am I playing this as repentant and horrified Watcher or unsure what's going on? Of course.

Also...thank you for saving my life one day.

Which city is yours?

~~Wow. Charlie is gonna PLOTZ~~

I'm from New York, if any one man can own her. Midtown. You probably know my father or brother, first.

No, I never had the pleasure of meeting Abe the Just. I do know your brother though.

Harry? Pain in the butt isn't he?

My name's Arnold. You?

Jake's a pain in the butt too.

You're definitely the best.

I'm Amelia.

I am quickly learning things are complicated and difficult.

Of course I am the best. I'm me. Hey Amelia. We related?

Yes. I'm one of your daughters.

I'm the good one. I'm the you out of your kids.

One?

*does not bounce like a small child* I have kids? I get kids and an Empire? I... *hugs her*

*laughing and hugs him back*

We all have our rough spots but yeah, we're a family. I'm just surprised I beat Aida to you.

Anyway, Charlie has me working on setting up an account for you. It'll have enough to make sure you're comfortable however long you're here.

Sounds like we're in the same boat.

Indeed. I'm guessing from the posh...this isn't Tucson. How are you?

The weather's better in Tuscon.

I was in the middle of the most awful date of my life. Some producer was getting grabby and I just introduced my knee to his family jewels...and all of a sudden I'm in the land of tea and crumpets.

Well I can't help with the producer, but I do know a couple of cafe's around here.

I'm a sucker for cute blonde actresses.

Thank goodness I've got cute to spare.

Gonna need it if I'm gonna find myself someplace to stay with the $31 in my purse.

If you find me a poker or pool game I can increase that within 30 minutes? Whadya say? Want to do good old fashion hustling?

You're ON!

Something tells me somebody somewhere is gonna have a terrible night at the table - and it won't be us.

...pretty sure you're lost.

Harry?

Sorry. Anyone ever tell you you look familiar.

Yeah I hear that sometime.

My name's Jake.

...Jacob?

[Locked]

Magic stuff?

Arnold.

[[Locked]]

Magic stuff. I swear, we should have you collared. You get into enough trouble to age me -- about 40 years.

You should shack up with the Council.

[[Locked]]

I'm going. I'm going.

Hi there.

Heya Lucky Charm. Another vampire?

Man this is a chart Imma have to report to...

Behind me, Rothstein. Now.

Walk, Bobbie. Godric's on his way.

Benny.

REALLY?

I never thought *YOU* would be the one to ruin my fun. I was just saying 'hi'.

I love you, Bobbie you know that. But...can't have you draining a baby Bankroll.

Don't be a stranger, hot stuff.

*darts behind Benny and looks at Bobbie a little lost* Should I be concerned about us, baby girl?

Hey.

Hello, sir.

You can call me Charlie. It's fine.

You need anything? I bet you didn't have time to pack a suitcase before you went all time traveler, huh?

Look, we got accounts up and down Saville Row. Use 'em. Whatever you need or want.

Charlie.

I need you to bite me and offer your blood to me. I'm supposed to go hide out with the Watchers but it sounds like I might be going into a minefield and I'd like insurance.

*starts unbuttoning his shirt* Do you have a preference where you drink from?

oh no I couldn't.

*straight faced*

Well, if you think it's for the best. *halo*

I hate being a cliche but I do like the neck. *traces his fingers along Arnold's throat while getting even closer and sinks his teeth in fast but careful - takes just a couple swallows before pulling back, licking his lips and opening his own wrist for Arnold*
