How many goodly creatures are there here! :: GAME OPENER

Welcome to Baedal.

These are the first words newcomers hear when the door opens and they are invited into their new world. Some fuss, some fight, some need time before they have the courage to step outside. Others, shell-shocked or jaded, go quietly along with the proceedings.

They are given brief instructions; a repeat of what's described in the pamphlet and a door key.

Please stay in your room. There will be dinner soon.

It's been almost a day for some. For others, only an hour's wait. The latest newcomer is lead straight from the arrival room to the dining hall where candles and lanterns have been set out to compensate for failing electricity. (Those who have been here longer explain about rolling blackouts.) The food, however, is warm, varied and plentiful. Seating is open, and less conventional chair are available to those who need them.

There are many strange faces around the table, the majority of these recent arrivals. The proprietor of the Valhalla Inn is here, as is some of her staff. The Sheriff of Mog Hill is introduced, his function detailed. The reason for the dinner is explained:

It's a celebration. A new cohort has finally been officiated; CeidaryBlue523. Your cohort. Please. Introduce yourself. Mingle. Get to know your fellows, they will be your brothers and sisters for as long as you live in this city.

Cassandra shrugged. It was something she seemed to be doing a lot of, these days. "I don't really know," she admitted. "Everything just seems...diminished. Before, he could teleport himself from one end of the world to another. Now, little more than a few paces. Then again, I haven't tested it out thoroughly." She smirked. "Men get a bit sensitive about these things, after all. If you're ever in a public place and happen to see me speaking with an irritating blond man, mark him carefully."

She supposed she could arrange something. A meeting with Apollo that Ianto could be aware of, so that he could observe. Ianto was clever. And probably almost as good at watching and taking note as Cassandra was. Well...at least the last two Iantos had been. It was all turning into a headache, trying to keep score, trying to keep everything straight. But Cassandra knew it was important. Perhaps she'd try writing some of it down this time around.

"I must sound utterly mad," she mused. "I'm surprised you haven't run away in terror yet. Most people do."

Ianto sighed and shook his head. "You don't sound mad. Well...no more mad than I'm accustomed to." Working for Torchwood, Ianto had built up an immunity to the strange and impossible. He practically anticipated it. So Cassandra sounded downright reasonable -- if just slightly unhinged -- to Ianto's ears. That said, this was hands down one of the most outlandish situations he'd ever found himself in, so he was still having a bit of trouble really grasping onto the concept of Apollo as a proper deity. Just as well he was powered down.
