[Luceti, there is a man striding through your plaza. A truly peculiar man. His skin is a sort of greyish tinge, his sense of fashion is beyond eccentric and there is a decisive skip in his step. Yes, a skip. He seems quite happy to be here, as he giggles under his breath.]

Delightful! Truly delightful! [He hops onto the edge of the fountain and spreads his arms, as if greeting his new domain.] Mmm, yes, I could get used to this!

[Oh, what's this? Someone is passing him by, and it happens to be your character? Why, he can't let an opportunity like this slip past him. He sinks down into a crouching position with a flourish, beckoning towards the stranger with one hand.]

Excuse me, dearie?

[That pause before that name is not suspicious at all.

When in doubt, flippancy works.

...if you're Harry Dresden. If you're just his apprentice, you stick with something more like politeness. It's better to be unnoticed. Unseen.

Or, if that's impossible, underestimated.]

Mr. Gold, huh? Any particular reason for that name?

[dealsforaprice]

[Meanwhile, Rumplestiltskin is perfectly aware he isn't fooling anyone. He's just the kind of guy who likes to bluff for the hell of it, and considering this is a fresh new world, he isn't giving up his real name just like that.]

Reason? A name is a name, dearie! It's what sets me apart from everyone else! Unless, of course, there already is a Mr. Gold in this village, in which case I may need to consider something else. [He lets out a brief, high-pitched giggle.]

[talentsgirl]

[...creepy giggle.

Molly thinks it might be time to go.]

There's a "Gold," all right. I just don't think I'd call him a "Mister."

[dealsforaprice]

[Aww, don't worry, he won't bite.]

Hmm... Well, that's good enough for me!

[talentsgirl]

Well then... "Mr. Gold" - enjoy your stay in Luceti.

[She'll just be... starting to walk away now >>]

[dealsforaprice]

[Tut tut, why so quick to retreat? He'll let her go, but he makes sure to call after her cheerfully.]

Thank you, dearie! I'm sure I will!
