Quotes
"Jai. Starts with a J, rhymes with i-words. My, buy, pie, die, fry, o hai, et cetera. Actually, doesn't rhyme very well with et cetera."
-- Jai
"...well, if I, say, stepped in another of those stupid holes around here and hurt myself trying not to fall over or something like that, I certainly wouldn't want to admit it. So maybe I had a fight with a very aggressive bush that was saying rude things about my mom and threatening to steal my wallet."
-- Jai
"...Are we still talking about dinners, or have we moved on to gay sex?"
-- Damian
RP Hooks
  • Gotta get somewhere faster than feet? Drunk but not stupid? Need to follow that car? Why not hail a cab!
  • When I'm not actually doing the driving, I run Sunbird Taxi. Although I guess I run it then as well, really!
  • Maybe we are or were neighbours! I used to live at the Budget Arms, and currently live in a house near Desert Skyline Suites.
  • Have you met my wonderful wife, Petra? If so, chances are she gave you my card.
  • Do you like babies? I just happen to have one. I may even have brought her with me!
  • Need a friendly ear? I have two! Also, shoulders, in a pinch.
  • Know a place with good strong coffee?
  • Is anything, anything weird and/or interesting going on?
  • Seriously, check out my cab: she is awesome.

Physical Description
 Tall, dark, and handsome are nearly all words that accurately describe Jai -- two out of three's not bad, right? He's a bit over six foot tall, and skinny enough to give the vague impression that he could've started out as a rather shorter guy and been vigorously stretched. He's got thick, pitch-black hair in tousled waves that curl around his ears and the nape of his neck, vaguely caramel-coloured skin, and eyes dark enough that one can't easily see a difference between pupil and iris, which covers the tall and dark portions pretty effectively. Handsome, though, is something of an overstatement; he's not unattractive, but his head has the same long thin proportions as his body, with a prominent nose, thick dark brows, and sizable ears that stick out conspicuously on either side of his head. Still, his face is alert and expressive, and more often than not his healthy white teeth are shown off in a wide grin. Currently, said grin is set off by a short, neatly trimmed beard -- also black, of course.
 He tends to straight-legged jeans, high-top converse, and an open-collared button-down under a light sweater, nearly always with a well-loved but well-kept old black trenchcoat worn over top. He has no visible piercings or tattoos, but he does wear more jewelry than most guys one encounters around here, most notably several silver-and-stone rings.
<+views: jewelryJai's accessories vary on any given day, though a few things are constant: his right ring finger bears a ring clearly fashioned from a fork, the tines reminiscent of wavy tentacles and bearing a round, polished moonstone among them; the left ring finger has a simpler ring which looks as though it may have been made of the handle from the same fork; and three pendants on chains are usually hidden beneath his shirt -- one that looks like a tiny dog-whistle, one capsule-like filigreed tube with a small hebrew 'chai' on it, and one with the Miskatonic University symbol wreathed in tentacles. To that base is often added more -- usually a watch, sometimes a bracelet, sometimes one or more of his collection of rings. One ring, watch, and bracelet are inlaid Zuni-style with semi-precious stones ranging from shiny to sparkly. Another ring has a quite large, square zirconite surrounded by irregular oval patches of turquoise enamel; a third looks like a round aquamarine in a setting like wind-furrowed sand; and yet another has a pattern of intricate, lacey, but somewhat organic cut-outs. The metal of all his jewelry is silver, or at least silver-coloured., scentJai tends to smell of a mixture of cedar and cloves, a clean, sort of sweet/spicy/woodsy blend.>

Thanks for one of my two favourite PIGs.

<OOC> Liane says, "I leave you with this! As I'm off doing VERY IMPORTANT NON-TS THINGS with this bottle of sensual massage oil, leather whip and bottle of caramel sauce, Petra suddenly attacks Meg and begins ferociously making out with her. Jai, after thanking his lucky stars, grabs some popcorn to watch, but the buttery smell causes both Meg and Petra to jump him in a buttered and salty sexy threesome. This being WoD, they all fall madly in love with one another, leading to ANGST between them, for it is forbidden to love between the half-demon, half-were, and vampiric thrall! You may assign one another whatever roll you'd prefer. :) Natsuki is, obviously, just going to ninja away to her harem and hold this all as blackmail against them. <3"
