Day 1 Night

[ Over the murmur of conversations, explorations and violent attempts at escape, there comes a sound tick tick tick tick tick.............. CLICK.... The sky above snaps across the dome from blue to black... and everything goes dark.

A glow comes from the front door of each of the inns and one by one, you can see street lanterns begin to light up steadily past each of the gates.

The only flickering, organic light comes from above in the tower, spluttering high, high above everyone, through the slats of the closed shutters. After a moment, it's gone. ]

What did you think I was?

Some profession of more ill intent.

[ hands in his pockets. More attempting to be casual than really feeling it ]

[ interesting ]

Such as?

...a stalker?

[ snorts a bit ]

Hardly. Given your accent, I highly doubt we are from the same country, much less close enough to stalk. Hydra?

...

Far from it. ...Cepheus, in fact.

Ah, but Hydra is a country. I suppose Delphinus is as well? Orion?

You've not heard of them? Where are you from?

London. Your country names match non-zodiac constellations on my planet.

.....

[ hhhold your horses for a sec ]

"Planet"?

Unless Cepheus is in some far removed place that I have somehow never heard of, we cannot possibly be from the same planet.
