[ gaius doesn't know much other than his name right now, but he isn't in the hedge maze long before he determines he's not much of a fighter.

whoever he runs directly into turning a corner might also get that idea because of how surprised he sounds to have collided with someone else. no one would look at this weird little guy in a cape with too much fringe and have bravery be the first thought to come to mind. ]

You want to get out of here, too, right? Whoever is running around screaming clearly doesn't want to be found, do they?

[ haha that's funny why would anyone want to find them?? ]

[ gaius cleans up alright, which is to say he looks much less anxious and squirrely than he'd been in the maze. he's obviously comfortable here with a drink in his hand, and the dark mulled wine is perfect for counteracting the gloomy weather outside.

he is much less approving of the topic written on the card he turns over:

Your car now has the ability to teleport, but it randomly swaps you with someone or something else from an alternate reality. Describe your oddest teleportation experience.

[ he scoffs, tossing it down on the tabletop dismissively. ]

Absurd. If there is any such thing as an alternate reality, it could never work like that.

[ gaius sounds very certain for a guy who barely knows anything right now, but arrogance seems to come to him quite naturally. ]

[ drop something else or hmu @ koutenko! will match brackets or prose, so do whatever you're most comfy with! ]
