( though marc spector is relatively newly arrived, it is not his first, nor his second, or even his third experience with something like this. he's dressed in his clothes — or vestments, as he likes to call them: an all-white three-piece suit decorated with small crescent moon details and a larger crescent moon embroidered on the forehead of the mask he's wearing.

when he speaks though, the voice is fairly ordinary — adult male, chicago-accented with hints of new york here and there. )

Good evening. Some of us have met, but for those of us who haven't, my name is Mr. Knight. ( is it? no, of course not, but it's the only name he's sought to provide anywhere. ) I'm the high priest of Khonshu — one of the gods of the moon. Formerly, I ran a mission out of Manhattan. ( beat. ) For the protection of those who travel at night. ( is he going to elaborate on what that means? no. not really. ) A status of being that includes all present here.

( punctuated by a breath of a pause and a slight, fleeting glance to one side. )

While I lack all the resources I had previously, a preist does not need much. If anyone finds themselves in need, from the mundane through to the weird — quests, protection, investigations—. ( marc unfurls a gloved hand and lifts a shoulder in a minute shrug. ) Please, don't hesitate to get in touch.

This isn't my first rodeo, as they say.

( ooc— marc will absolutely be looking at running a version of his midnight mission out of stygia. for the time being, he'll simply want to raise his profile a touch, make sure he's known. he operates predominately at night but keeps irregular sleeping patterns so can and will be contactable during the day. )

[ he really just gave out a lot of information about himself that explained absolutely nothing at all.

however, rosa will just nod at all of this and offer a friendly wave. ]

Hello, Mr. Knight. It's good to meet you. It's good to see that you're immediately jumping into things.

[enactors]

( welcome to marc spector, rosa: professionally Weird^TM

though he doesn't return the wave, he does incline his head a touch in acknowledgement. a short hmm, then— )

What's the alternative?

[declass]

Many people are usually quite confused while trying to adjust. Not that that's bad, as I was one of them...

[ she, personally, spent a lot of time just trying to figure out how did she even die. ]

But I mean that you're offering work right away.

[enactors]

I've died and been reborn before. My adjustment period is likely shorter than that of the majority. ( half the truth, half a simplification: given his history, he's actually not entirely convinced this is it for him.

but right. that. ) —I like to keep busy, and I have a duty.

[damnpire]

[Color palette swap.

Also squinting inwardly at “protection of those who travel at night.” D has assigned him vampire moon servant (no).]

Have you spoken to Set?

[enactors]

( hey, look, his (current) best friend-slash-receptionist is a vampire.

which is to say — d is not wrong. )

Yes.

( which is almost where he leaves it because talking isn't entirely his strong suit and what else is there to say? but— )

He's not the Set I've met before. But that doesn't preclude familiarity.

[damnpire]

[Vampire moon servant it is then.

None of this really bothers D so much as has him curious, not that poor Mr. Knight can tell when he rudely decided to opt for text. They have talking-not-a-strong-suit in common.]

I understand. Those here are sometimes from different worlds or dimensions.

un: traveler

[unalign]

[ all the moon symbolisms aren't lost on her ................................ ]

Only those who travel at night?

[enactors]

( listen, he has a brand and he is sticking to it. )

Not only. ( to be fair. ) But the night is my domain and its people my people.

[unalign]

[ look, she's not judging. she thinks it's very questionable cool. ]

So you're more effective being hired at night?

[ then again, is there a "day" in this world? it's like night and night-er ... ]

voice, un: lottie

[oomfies]

[ For protection for those who travel at night.. Huh. Many things are happening in this post, all of them are odd but not necessarily bad. In fact, even if he's a guy in a mask claiming to be a priest, there is one thing that peaks her interest — ]

So you also.. Hypothetically, walk people home?

[enactors]

( that



is pretty on the nose. )

Hypothetically, yes. ( it's not exactly what he imagined he'd find himself doing, but — it does fall within the job description. )

[oomfies]

[ Lottie doesn't try, so she fails, to hide the little sound of surprise that slips past her lips. He does? Really? ]

..Cool! Cool.

[ Yes.... She is thinking about all the grocery trips she could make at night without worrying her roomie..... ]

Hypothetically.. You wouldn't want anything, in return??

un: zagreus

[dodgeouttahell]

[Here's a video feed flickering to life, mismatched eyes and flaming laurels the most interesting of the whole thing because otherwise, Zagreus here only looks like a lad.]

It's not your first…? Have you been in an underworld such as this one before?

[enactors]

( marc is only loosely familiar with other gods and deities: his interest in ancient egypt is a result of his position, formed by circumstance rather than the other way round. thanks to the mask, it's difficult to tell if marc's expression flickers or alters at all, if there's any recognition, but he does lean closer towards the camera and rests his chin against his hands. )

Not such as this. ( breath of a pause. ) But I have died before. Been reborn. Death and I aren't friends like that. ( he is very good at creating it, though. )

[dodgeouttahell]

[There's a small pause. When one's a childhood friend of the incarnation of Death, you sort of have to do a double-take to make sure this person is not referring to it literally.]

What kind, then? You were reborn? How so?

[Soz, Marc. He's the curious sort, and this hits sort of close to home.]

@silco

[zauneyete]

What are your qualifications? That it's not your first..."rodeo" doesn't quite give us much to go off of?

[ What's a rodeo... ]

I'm not looking for a resume, but... Well, I'd hardly want to hire you for something you're ill-suited for.

[enactors]

( what a question.

there's a lengthy pause before marc responds, not because he doesn't want to respond — that may be some of it — but mostly because he's not really sure how to answer. it — proving himself — isn't something he's had to worry about in a long time: moon knight's reputation has always preceded him, and his only concern has been trying to prove that he's not always completely, totally unhinged. )

I've been to other realms, other dimensions.

I've died before. It didn't stick.

I was reborn under the light of the moon as Khonshu's Fist of Vengeance. I have been doing this a long time. What kind of specifics were you after? The position isn't one that comes with a printed and signed certification.

[zauneyete]

I don't exactly know what Khonshu is, so forgive me for being a bit slow on the uptake. Is it some sort of military position? The authorities?

[ A pause, and then he adds: ]

Do you think this is a different dimension, instead of the afterlife, then?

voice | un: 4025dusk2

[prozaic]

A priest? Hmmm... [he's genuinely curious at least, and not scornful.]

What sorts of protections do you specialise in? I am not familiar with the god you've mentioned.

[enactors]

( listen, marc's use of 'priest' is very, very liberal and he's almost definitely the only person who'd describe himself as such. )

Physical, mostly.

Khonshu is the god of vengeance.

[prozaic]

... Ah. I see. You mainly prefer bodyguard duties. [also why are there gods of vengeance....................

then again shalem really can't say anything about weird religions since he's heard sankta reciting from their scriptures while gunning people down.]

It's good to see more people willing to step up and protect others.

@harukaze

[janescayre]

Isn't Manhattan in New York?

That's a filthy place to pick fights in an all white suit.

[sir your laundry bill]

[enactors]

It ensures they see me coming.

( benefits of being rich bb )

[janescayre]

[If she didn't simp for a one-percenter she'd drag him to filth for that]

So you're too egotistical for the element of surprise?
