( 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. )

I have a reputation.

( "yes." )

[ugh self-esteem!! The worst!!]

I doubt it's a good one.

Good luck keeping it here. There's all manners of otherworldly beasts and magic and mighty warriors, you'll be lucky to clear the first ranking match.

That's the point.

( two different definitions of '(not) good reputation' right here. )

There are all sorts where I'm from, too.
I'm yet to lose.

That so? Pretty high and mighty for some guy who just showed up.

Why don't you go test your mettle? I'm sure there's loads of people here eager for target practice. You'd be hard to miss, dressed up like that.

What part of 'I like to be seen' did you misunderstand?

I'm not going anywhere.
You're welcome to take a shot yourself and you can find out just how 'high and mighty' the avatar of a god can be.

[did she accidentally invite herself to a street brawl]

I didn't say I wanted to fight you? I'm just warning you to be careful where run your mouth.

Someone's going to knock that moon off your skull and you'll only have yourself to blame.

"Someone"?

You insulted me.
You suggested I act as the 'target' portion of 'target practice'.

Neither are warnings.

If you don't want you to be misunderstood, I'd recommend working on your phrasing, lest someone takes your "concerns" the wrong way.
