It was considerate of Portalocity to put the main port to and from London in a dimly lit alcove of a crowded underground station; no one was looking at anyone else, and, even if they were, there'd probably been stranger things to remark upon that morning than two (to all appearances) young men stepping out of a glowing blue doorway to nowhere. Certainly Jack was not going to break his stride to remark on how unusual it was.
He did, though, pause when they were out of the station. "Guidebook first, I think," he ventured. "Seeing as it's been some time since I was here."
[OOC: For Mitchell, unless someone else is in London today.]

"Were you there a long time, then? And yes, a bookstore should be easy to find. I need a few history texts, too."

Date: 2009-10-14 07:28 pm (UTC)"Hotel first," he said. "Then we go back out and try to find the right kind of club."
And that was where he was going to hope he remembered things. Vampires changed less often than booksellers did.

Date: 2009-10-15 01:02 pm (UTC)Mitchell... manfully ignored the beeping that signalled the fourth text message in his pocket, and took a drag off his cigarette instead. "I'm not sure what I know of vampire hangouts out here hods for this place."

Date: 2009-10-15 01:24 pm (UTC)"I know where the place should be," he said. "Just -- don't say too much, and don't eat anything while we're there. They don't. I doubt anyone would remember me." He eyed Mitchell, a little wary for the first time. "Are you still -- abstaining?"

Date: 2009-10-15 01:29 pm (UTC)Hence also the trail of cigarettes he was bound to leave in his wake. "It's called Mermaid... Something or other. Hotel? Suites."

Later That Night...
Date: 2009-10-15 03:45 pm (UTC)"Sebastien said this place was here three hundred years ago," Jack said, conversationally. "Can't be too much to ask it lasted another hundred, can it?"
He was feeling the city out as he walked, trying to imagine himself here.

Date: 2009-10-15 04:10 pm (UTC)He paused in front of an bog-standard pub with an old sign and a boring name. "Well, the front part is still here. What we'd want would be downstairs." He was going to assume it was and just walk through like he had absolutely no question as to what he was doing, but he managed a smile at Mitchell, first. "Ready to see your kind?"
Re: Later That Night...
Date: 2009-10-15 04:14 pm (UTC)Most of the friendly, human dorkiness had already drained out of his features on the way there; with his hands shoved down his pockets, he seemed positively distant.
