| 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

- Gotta get somewhere faster than feet? Drunk but not stupid? Need to follow that car? Why not hail a cab!
- Maybe we are or were neighbours! I used to live at the Budget Arms, and currently live in a house near Desert Skyline Suites.
- 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 about 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 pitch black hair cut in short tousled spikes, 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.
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 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 watch, bracelet, and the ring on his right index-finger are all inlaid Zuni-style with semi-precious stones ranging from shiny to sparkly. On his right ring finger is a ring clearly fashioned from a fork, the tines reminiscent of wavy tentacles and bearing a round, polished moonstone among them; on the left ring finger is a simpler ring which looks as though it may have been made of the handle from the same fork. One middle-finger ring has a quite large, square zirconite surrounded by irregular oval patches of turquoise enamel. He also sometimes wears a ring that looks like a round aquamarine in a setting like wind-furrowed sand and one with a pattern of intricate, lacey, but somewhat organic cut-outs. He wears three pendants on chains, all 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. 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.>

Eldritch Delight of mine.
Okay, so the Eldritch needs work. But we have our whole lives for that.

Brilliant and adorable!
(Takes after her parents.)

It's nice to know I can always count on you to get me out of a hole.
And occasionally, into one.

Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god,
you say YES!

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
But I like that you think horses.

The relation's fairly distant,
but I bet you'd liven up a family reunion.

Kind of like a jetpack.
Prone to explosions, but impressive and undeniably pretty cool.

Why do they bury lawyers at the center of the Earth?
'cause deep down, they're really nice guys.

Thanks for one of my two favourite PIGs.
Hell, I didn't need those pants anyway.
|
|
Has the universe gotten smaller, or is it just me?
I can't help suspecting it's probably just me.

I'm sure you've pissed off plenty of people.
Which one cursed you to live in interesting times?.

I applaud your defiance of the Petra Tax.
And even more, that you came out ahead.

There's a sense of humour in there somewhere.
Ooh! I think I just
spotted it!

I feel a kinship with you.
Couldn't say why...

I'm always interested in the Adventures of Garbage Girl.
Wish I could read more.

I know I've caused you a lot of inconvenience.
But it got you married, so we're even, right? ;)

Seems it's never enough
but it is what it is.

My best high
school photo.
Contrary to Mom's prediction for that last pic, my face did not in fact freeze that way.
In fact, she claims I
clean up pretty good.
(But she is my mom.)
I even stand out in a crowd!
...when they won't let us
stand inside instead.
People do offer me
sandwiches a lot. Luckily,
I really like sandwiches.
...even tiny ones.
And little cakes.
And large cakes, when available.
My wife is an awesome photographer.
I have no idea how
this got here.
Clara, my beautiful baby.
