Opallum

Location: Sitting on a bench outside nearby Faraday Heights
Interacting With: Mention of @Apokalipse

Opallum had succinctly become tired of watching the news reports after the first exciting five minutes had passed by. He didn't care much about whatever other politics were going on in this world. A handshake there, an election here. Soon, entering his sight was . . . Well, he wasn't entirely sure on his guess, but given the abrupt, internal attraction he felt for her when she entered his sight, he could only presume that this woman was a succubus. He had previously asked a loosely held friend what her name was with the implication of approaching her in his tone, but he morosely failed to muster up the courage. Now he had accumulated only two facts about this woman: she was a succubus and her first name was Nikita. Other than that sighting, Opallum came to the conclusion that nothing else too interesting would occur nearby the coffee shop any time soon. He pushed himself away from the window with a muffled grunt and continued his haphazard stroll around the district.

Soon, Opallum found himself sitting on a relatively nice spruce bench beside a street just outside of Faraday Heights. He didn't know why he wanted to be here, but an innate need to be around a multitude of individuals overcame him. Slouching down some in his seat, he shifted about further to secure a somewhat comfortable position and began to idly stare out at the passersby. This was always an interesting activity to partake in. To most, it might have appeared as if Opallum had just been staring out at the traversing crowds. However, he found some excitement in trying to discern the individual Others from the mundane humans -- which, he would admit, is actually quite an arduous task. It should also be noted that his guesses were highly inaccurate. Sometimes, he based the physical criteria for being an Other simply on how much they stood out from a crowd. Pink hair? Perhaps a fae. Abnormally pale skin and impeccably dressed in unnecessarily lavish attire? More than likely a vampire.

Today was an especially horrid time to do this, as most London inhabitants had donned winter clothing: scarves, ski hats, beanies, gloves, and coats. At this point, there was little reason in continuing with this little game of his. Opallum groaned rather loudly, leaning his head back against the top rail of the bench. He steadily went to spread his legs out and set his hands atop his knees. What more was there to do? Granted, it was still early in the morning, and the conglomerate of workers and students would soon come rushing out onto the streets and sidewalks, but even that would take far too long with Opallum's lack of adequate patience. Indeed, waiting was not a specialty of this precise ifrit.

Now, what was there to think about . . . ? The concept of a Human-Other war certainly piqued his interest some, regardless of the more morbid outcome. Would there even be an all-out war? Would the government back the anti-Other group? Was the government even primarily composed of humans? Were there Others in superior governmental positions? This train of thought could drag on for hours, but Opallum wasn't in the mood for going into the logistical aspects of a Human-Other war. All he was sure about was that utter chaos would be a given. Bullets versus the mythoi.

The unfortunate facet of this event is that, much to his disdain, a myriad of bodies would accumulate around this bloodbath, and Opallum enjoyed the presence of both humans and Others in this world far too much to siphon any positive stimulation from such an outcome. Being entirely rational for a brusque moment, Opallum came to the realization that he himself would probably be among those bodies. It was then that his mind sojourned elsewhere to something less bleak. Once more, the ifrit was bored.

@MiddleEarthRoze If Stefani goes outside ever, she'll probably run into Opallum, since he's always outside (homeless af)

well unless talking to bums isn't apart of her character. that would make sense.

"Hmm . . ."

Today was particularly frigid -- even for an ifrit such as Opallum. The wrath demon had been meandering about the borough for countless hours today, hardly anything pressing on his mind. What did manage to gain his attention and promptly annoy him, however, was that the lens of his sunglasses continued to fog up due to the cold. A nuisance, truly. As per usual, there were no specific stops or errands to be made, and, lacking an actual schedule to follow, there was little to keep him busy with. Edgetoun had much to offer, and Opallum knew this, but nothing that one could enjoy without having legal tender -- something he lacked entirely, at the moment. For a split second, the ifrit considered getting a job, but swiftly dashed the idea from his mind. He preferred "absolute freedom." Besides, Opallum always managed to scrounge up a few bucks by just traversing through London and kindly asking various inhabitants for just a few bucks. Almost always worked. Anyhow, it'd seem that the only way to prevent a boredom-wrought headache later on would be to find some type of legal stimulation that didn't require him to pay. Already, he had grown a tad weary from conversing with so many people over the span of three days. Being bored was certainly a tiresome pit to fall into and to get out of.

Eventually, after aimlessly sauntering around the district, Opallum managed to spot a familiar sigil inscribed on glass right by his face. He had come upon The Early Bean. News is on, right? It's usually on in the morning, he thought. While he might not be able to afford coffee (or anything else, for that matter), there was still a medium-sized LCD television established in the upper leftmost corner of the store that he could spot through the glass pane which would sate his boredom for a time. Shoving his hands in the pockets of his cargo pants, a decision came upon him: enter the store with no money and awkwardly loiter about while watching TV, or just stand outside in the cold and still get to watch TV? Opallum decided to settle on the latter option. There was no doubt that the cold was slightly bitter to him even with his abnormally high body temperature, but he felt it rude to amble in and take a seat without being able to afford anything. Would have been weird, too. After all of these thoughts joggled to and fro in his head, the very fact that he was allowed to view the news was enough for him.

Once the weatherwoman had finished divulging the snippet on the snowstorm and the Unseelie Court, Opallum nodded contently. "Good on those faefolk. Causing a ruckus usually causes some change, yeah?" he murmured, the corners of his lips curving upwards into a thin smile. In all honesty, the ifrit knew little on the fae and their on-goings, but they had verily proved themselves to be a diverse crowd, physically and personality-wise. Pondering on the idea of a snowstorm now actually struck some discord within Opallum. The homeless of London would be suffering through that. It'll be hell. Being homeless himself, he knew that he would also face the threat of biting wintry chill. Suppose I could just hang out in a bar until it settles down. Easiest way to get by.

Other than leaning against the glass with his right leg crossed over his left and staring inside at the news report, a stillness was beset upon Opallum's body, and his awareness of the surroundings gradually dissipated. It would seem that his attention was solely on the information being displayed on the television screen. Given his lack of access to the internet because of his status of abject poverty, he wouldn't catch wind of the 'Helsing' message or the headlines up on the BBC homepage -- at least, not yet.

Opallum's Relationships(WIP)

Opallum

Blake Preston
"Her? Fun as hell to be around, I can imagine. She's like a firecracker -- an inferno, rather -- that never dies down, y'know?"

She might be insane. Love her energy, though. Super laid back, too. Surprised she doesn't get into more fights, what with all that fire-in-the-heart gusto she has going on. And she's pretty fun-sized, which is definitely one of my preferences when it comes to women. Hope she sticks around.

Daniel Belson
"Mmm . . . Only seen that guy around once or twice, maybe. He seems . . . Alright? I'unno."

Don't know enough about the fellow. For all I know, he could be a sod or a genuinely nice guy. Until I meet him properly, I'll stay neutral with this one.

Alistair Queen
"Rich vamp. I've shared a conversation with him once -- a short one. I've got to praise him for the work he's doing. Really helping out."

He's like a guardian of some sort for the people in this borough. I'm probably just thinking that because he's the landlord, but . . . Putting himself out there and assisting all these Others is just . . . good? Yeah. Not sure what he's like on the inside. Probably just as empty and unfulfilled as the rest of the elderly vampires lounging around.

Mariska Costas
"Heard that girl singing when I passed by a joint and decided to step in. She's got that voice, no question. Strange genre of sound, though. Can't tell if its jazz or bossa nova -- or maybe a mixture. Interesting, uhm . . . hairdo, too.

Stylish. Seems like a tomboy, in my opinion. Don't know much else about the lady. Should try to get to know her eventually.

Nikita Yankovsky
"Hott. With two t's."

I've caught her walking around the city before. Nice legs. Could do with less make-up, maybe. Don't know much else about her.

Mordred Hame
"Mordred . . . Hame. Oh, right! I've seen him around. Dig the white hair."

Some passerbys were conversing and I overheard them talking about him. No insults or anything like that, but just an idle 'yeah, he's pretty cool' and something about his music. Then, another time, when I was loitering around in some alleyway, these two guys came through and were going on about him. I couldn't tell what else they were saying, unfortunately, because they were speaking so damn quickly and silently.

just tell me if I'm getting something wrong about someone's personality. I'm prone to mixing things up or misreading sometimes.

Since humans have just discovered the Others, wouldn't there just be droves of humans going through Edgetoun and throwing stuff at the inhabitants and trashing Other-owned shops out of fear and stuff?

You know.

'Cuz human nature.

Antagonists? Sounds sick. I'm glad that there'll be a dynamic story line, too.
