( 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. )

Fuuuckkk! Oh my god!
[ She bursts into laughter, terribly loud and stupidly amused. She should probably be concerned this masked man admitted beating the shit out of people is what he does, but she isn't. She just grins and snorts, ]
No wonder! In that suit, too??
no subject
or— A SILENCE, then: )
It's a nice suit.
( it is. he's rich. he can afford #nicethings. )
no subject
Uhhh, yeah? It's really nice. You don't get it dirty?
no subject
That's the point.
( part of the point, anyway. marc likes to be seen. he's not daredevil, skulking about in the shadows. he's the moon and he wants his enemies to know who's coming. he likes them to see their blood and his blood on the suit. a reminder of what he can do and will do. )
no subject
Part of the brand?
no subject
What's the point in being the moon's knight of vengeance if people don't know what you can do?
no subject
Is that why your name is Mr. Knight? Commitment to your moon junk?
no subject
Nominative determinism.
no subject
What?
no subject
( it is
absolutely not the case, marc 'obsessive loser' spector. )
no subject
That's your real name?
no subject
no subject
no subject
—And he has a pseudonym.
no subject
no subject
The point is: yes, it's my name.
no subject
It's your real name and your career choice. No pseudonym. Nice white suit.. I got it.
no subject
( punctuated by a long, lingering, awkward pause, then— )
The suit's for visibility. I like to be seen.
no subject
He's so in it for the clout. ]
I meannn... White fit at night? You're asking for stares.
no subject
Yes.
( that's it, that's the reply. sorry, marc is terrible at conversations approximately half the time. )
no subject
Oh.. [ WASNT THIS GOING WELL... THE SIGNALS ] Cool?
no subject
did marc prefer this when it was veering towards antagonistic? yes, because this is terrible.
he almost says something along the lines of 'I was aiming for scary', or just pointing out that 'cool' was the farthest thing from his mind (he doesn't even know what 'cool' is), but—
nope, he's done. he neither knows how to nor wants to continue this conversation, SEE YOU SOMEWHERE, LOTTIE... )
