[The gaseous form of Bartimaeus coalesced and formed his most familiar shape - that of the boy, Ptolemy. He looked around his current surroundings, wondering where he was. Nowhere he had yet visited on Earth seemed familiar. This place was so...what was that? Bartimaeus jumped out of the way of a car. It was like no car he'd ever seen before.]

Was that a car? Oh-kay, so I'm somewhere wierd again. Oi, Nat - where are you? This place smells worse than your armpit.

[A look of realization crosses his face]

Nat? [pats his body down]

We...you...did it work? [looks around again] I'm not in England anymore... [looks at the floor and seems to be looking for something, a wide, wide smile spreading across his bronzed features]

No pentacles. Ahh, if Farquarl could see me now. Ha! Bartimaeus always wins, Farquarl!!!

I wonder if the brat is round here somewhere..... [:|] Not that I care.

Thats some amazing writing skill you have there. Cat got your tongue?

["Template, actually."]

[eternal-fool.livejournal.com]

(There's something strange about this person...)
This place is called Template.

You're not really making much sense. [looks at you on the second level. Wow, boring. Just a fleshy human.]

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Never heard of it. Is it a new city? What year is it?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

["Template = this city.

Template does weird stuff-- I can't talk."]

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Okay then.

I've never heard of Template, is this another emerging Empire?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Gives him a slight shrug.

"Doubt it."]

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Hmm. [looks around him a little more again]

Which continent are we on?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[He simply shrugs again, this time not bothering with his notepad.]

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Guess I'll go investigate.
