When Urquhart stepped into the bar today, he found himself change, and a brief look in a mirror confirmed the impression. He now has skin like cooling lava, enormous horns on his head, monstrous teeth and claws, and is not wearing exactly much.

Which probably does not count towards the Third Rule, because molten lava doesn't equal nudity. And it's not as if he's showing anything untoward. Urquhart hasn't even made sure what his private anatomy is like in this shape. It doesn't matter. It'll go away in a few days.

He seems to be some kind of Devil.-

So he leans in a dark corner near the fireplace, waiting for people to come by and find him scary. As this is Milliways, he's not counting on there being too many.

[[OOC: I know nothing about the character Urq is being, The Beast from 'Angel'; I probably saw four of five episodes of that show ever, tops. It just happens to be the same PB. Recognising the character is of course OK, but neither Urq nor I have much to say about him...]]

Sameth came downstairs looking pale and worried and clearly uncomfortable in his uniform with a circlet in his hair.

He ends up near the fireplace with some strong spiced wine to try and get warm and not think too much about that dream.

He might get quite startled by the monster near the fireplace, when it moves and shows itself not to be part of the wall.

It's seven foot tall including horns, has a skin like cooling lava but is not exactly wearing very much, and has very big horns.

He is and draws his sword, which actually doesn't draw since its not meant for fighting and curses,

"Charter, who are you?!"

"Your guess is as good as mine," the monster says.

"You don't know who you are?"

That's far more worrying and Sameth starts to put together a quick offensive spell.

"I know my name," the monster says, "but I've got no idea what I am supposed to be. Some horny devil, probably."

"What's your name?"

"Urquhart," the monster says. "You're going to make knives for me when you're not wearing all that tinsel."

"Its not tinsel, they're real medals just not mine,"

At least the circlet stays put in his slightly curly hair.

"Do you know why you got decked out like this?" Urquhart asks.

"I think its a proper prince's attire somewhere."

"How do they move in it?" Urquhart wonders.

"I don't know, it pinches a lot."

"It looks monstrously uncomfortable," Urquhart nods.

"It is. How about you? Do you feel hot?"

"No, not really," Urquhart says. "I just can't move my face much."

"I guess that's not too bad."

"No, I can live without grinning, for a few days," Urquhart says.

"Yes, and you're still intimidating."

"And much more so, on the outside," Urquhart says.

"Yes, its disconcerting."

"But this is Milliways," Urquhart says. "Nobody is really scared very much. Not even the ones who are usually scared."

"I guess, but sometimes its hard to ignore your instincts,"

Sameth's been scared here a lot.

"And what do your instincts tell you that I am?" Urquhart asks.

"That you're Dead and that you're Urquhart."
