Balding brown hair, prominent nose,. Unpleasant brown, reptilian eyes.Superficially obsequious, barely restrained sense of superiority, poor dressing skills.[/sblock][sblock=Description of Vanderchild]Diego's recollection of Vanderchild is of an older white man, distinguished, taller than average (175cm), receding blondish white hair, handsome-once-boyish face, blue eyes. Distracted, haughty, easily confused. Usually fashionably if ostentatiously dressed (wears ascots around the house, but it looks like a shtick instead of just bad taste).[/sblock][sblock=Whatta day for rolls]Festy <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1493250/" target="_blank">stole ig's luck</a>. It's the only explanation.[/sblock]Archer balances a tall wooden bar stool from the kitchen on top of a table to get to the vaulted ceiling. He can vaguely make out the tracings of a shape in the burned wood. It looks like there was a mark there all right.[sblock=Archer's Flashback]During a visit to the Middle East (Istanbul? the city escapes him) Archer remembers getting lost in one of the great covered markets. He finally found an old stall in run by a creepy old Indian man with a thick british accent, who extorted him to buy one of the "Lost Amulets of Arabia" that he might find his way out.Archer, desperate to make it on time to a business meeting, agreed to buy the amulet, with the assurance that the old man's great-grand son would guide him out the right exit. There was some complicated story about the amulet having the mark of some spirit, that would protect the boy, while he was traveling with Archer, who was destined (the man assured him) to draw the eye of dark creatures.Archer made it to his meeting "acceptably late" (in fact he realized later he'd probably made a more positive impression showing up a half hour late than if he had been on time) and wrote the whole thing off as a funny story.Later, over a cup of aromatic coffee, a contact in the region had explained that some people in that part of the world took these spirits, called Jinn very seriously; they were even mentioned in the Holy Book.Generally that sort of thing is discouraged by religious authorities, but we take a more nuanced approach to our superstitions than you Christians, his contact had said with a laugh.[/sblock][sblock]Can't tell you how surprised I was when you picked Arabic as a language.Still it didn't survive the transition to your new low-xp-state so...[/sblock]The best thing Archer can find are two heavy canvas laundry bags.</blockquote>
