[Traffic may be delayed today due to an accident on Westminster Bridge. A young man driving a 1930s-era car reportedly "came out of nowhere," lost control of his vehicle on the ice, and somehow veered into oncoming traffic. No one was hurt, but the driver, holding a white dog in his arms, seems a bit disoriented as he explains the situation to the police.]

I'm telling the truth, sir! I know it sounds mad, but I wasn't in London until a moment ago. And it wasn't... snowing.

... No, I have not been drinking!

[SAVE TINTIN PLEASE, HE'S SO CONFUSED.]

((ooc: leaving soon for Christmas Eve stuff but I will tag back after that!!))

[ She saw it all go down, and she couldn't do anything to stop it but she can certainly stop an innocent kid from being arrested for drunk driving. ]

Oh, there you are!

[ She'll just be shoving her way into this conversation, thanks. ]

Sorry officer, I've been looking for my brother here. He has blackouts sometimes, and this sort of thing happens. I know, I know, I shouldn't let him out of my sights, but I think the insurance companies can work this mess out.

consider it ignored ;)

[babyfacedassassin]

What-? [After a second, though, he realizes what she's doing.] Oh! Right! There you are, Sis, sorry, I know you said not to take the car, but we were out of bread and since it's not far...

[ichoosefight]

It's alright, you know it isn't your fault. [ She pats him on the back and starts to steer him away. Back to the officer; ]

Our lawyers will be in touch. Don't worry about all this.

[All right yeah let's get outta here... Tintin goes along with the mysterious girl, making sure to look kind of derpishly bewildered until they're round the corner. At that point he sets down Snowy, who yaps anxiously and scampers in circles around the two; then offers his hand gratefully.]

Thank you for that, miss... Not sure how I'd have got out of there otherwise. I'm Tintin, by the way, and this is Snowy...

[ichoosefight]

[ She has a very energetic but firm handshake. ]

Steph. I can't believe that idiot didn't see your car come out of nowhere. Where are you from really, Tintin?

[babyfacedassassin]

[So does he - perhaps firmer than one would expect for a guy his size.]

Brussels. And what do you mean, out of nowhere...? [He has his suspicions, but there's something in the way she asked.]

[ichoosefight]

As in, "apparated", "appearified", "poof, you're here".

Not that you would have noticed, being blacked out and all.

[babyfacedassassin]

[He steps back, a tenuous connection beginning to form in his mind.]

This has happened before? People appearing out of nowhere?

Welcome to Wonderland. You made it past the rabbit hole.
