Joel Castilloux, arrival to MM, lobby

Joel Castilloux arrived by cab to the Morningstar. He had made all the arrangements by solicitor, so the Morningstar Manor had only been pictures to him so far.

He had made arrangements with his agent to have the two bedroom apartment furnished and what items he wanted from home had already been shipped and should, if all things went to plan, be in place.

Joel paid the driver. He walked past the doorman and into the lobby of his new home.

He stopped near the middle of the lobby and did a slow turn to take in what would now be his home.

	"You new here?" Cam asks although he knows perfectly well that the man is. His accent is almost as English as the other guy's, but it's blurred by the time he's lived in the States and travelled in other countries. "Welcome to the Manor, anyway. Friendly bunch, aren't we?" He's noticed everyone else being welcoming to the guy and decided to join the goodwill committee. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Yes, I am," Joel smiles as he hears the accent. He was getting a feeling he wouldn't be as homesick as he thought he would be. "So far," Joel agreed. He had been pleasantly surprised that he had been welcomed. Plus it made him think he stuck out like a sore thumb. "Joel Castilloux," he introduced himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Calum Shaw," he said, sticking out a hand. "No relation to Charlie Shaw, should you have met him yet." He grinned at the other man. "Pretty much everyone knows everyone here," he explained. "It's one big dysfunctional family here in the Manor." [OOC: excuse the tense change, I was just threading elsegame and confused myself!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Calum," Joel repeated. He was going to have fun remembering names. "I'm seeing that." Which felt good in a way. He left his other dysfunctional family behind. "Seems I may have been lucky then to land a spot here," Joel reflected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Everyone calls me Cam though," he said with an easy grin. "No-one will know who you mean if you talk about a Calum."

He tucked one slender hand into a pocket and eyed the other man over the top of his sunglasses, which he was wearing for no obvious reason.

"Yeah," he agreed. "It's pretty hard to get in. Still, once you're in it's for good as long as she likes you."

	"She who?" Joel asked. He couldn't remember anything odd that his solicitor had said. "I had a solicitor take care of arrangements," Joel explained. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"The Manor, of course," he said easily, as if it were the most natural and obvious answer in the world. "She's a grand old lady - do well by her, she'll do well by you." He patted the pillar he was standing by affectionately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ah," Joel answered. "I can understand that. Like an older reliable car, you treat her well, and keep her polished, and she'll keep her stately appearance." "I find it refreshingly charming." "So Cam, what makes you Manor material?" He was a young man, but even young could work and have money. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Cam chuckled, wondering how long it would take the older man to realise that the Manor was a lot more than an inanimate object - but then, some people never seemed to.

"I'm an entertainer," he said. "Close-up magic, some bigger stunts sometimes. I play the piano too but that's just for my own amusement." Cam didn't really have the air of someone who had ever really had to work for a living in any true sense of the word.

"How about yourself?"

	Joel smiled when he heard entertainer. "I play a bit of music, trained classical." "Author, columnist. I used to be involved in a show for the BBC but we're on hiatus at the moment. Needed a change. So I do what I want, when I want really." "Do you do shows, or appearances?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
