SUPER FRIENDLY
Christmas done, New Years over, the chance of encountering anything uncomfortably holy has diminished by a lot, and thus, what might be an disquietingly familiar crimson figure has popped back up in the Nexus again.
Just the same as he was before, that smile permanent, he's gotten comfortable in the plaza. Pretty easy to see the direction he came in from too, the snow partially melted and delicate little cloven deer hoof prints burned right down through to the ground. Rather odd, considering the obvious fancy calf skin shoes he's wearing.
"Happy New Years, ladies and gentleman, Happy New Year, hope you had a fantastic holiday, I know I did!
Say, any of you fine folks out there make a resolution? Keep it light folks, lets just have a nice fat chew here! What do you have in mind for the New Year? Don't say lose weight, if you didn't do it last year, well shucks, I don't think this will be your year either, realistic goals, folks, lets keep it light and real."
The hiss and crackle of that old vacuum tube radio and the tinny, artificial quality of his voice doesn't do much to lend to the 'lightness' of this entire scene, but hey, it's nothing he can help, nor distinctly seems to care about.
Frankly, a seven foot tall antlered anthropomorphic amalgamation of man and deer was about as un-light as one could get, but that's never stopped Alastor before.

no subject
When his claw-like appendages curl around her fingers, there's a brief hint of red in her cheeks. Her other hand grips the PINpoint carefully, already having the coordinates pre-loaded to their travel destination, before pressing the button to send them elsewhere...
There's a strange flash of light, nothing uncomfortable, but the familiar Nexus setting has been replaced with an alleyway surrounded by brick walls. Even though there's no immediate sign that they've arrived in the South, that quickly changes with the sounds of people talking and the familiar scent of food. It's a joyful environment, and upon stepping out of the alleyway, the city of New Orleans greets them.
However, there are a few small or big differences in the city, not comparable to a typical world. For starters, it seems like humans and anthropomorphic creatures live on this plane and they take great pride in their appearances. Many are dressed in nice looking clothes, true to the culture of New Orleans. The other thing to notice is how well-maintained the city is, much cleaner and well kept than even the finer areas of the Nexus.
