User:ZDee/A merry gentleman (wikia test)
In the street, you pass a tall, cheerful man with a brisk manner, a stovepipe hat and a row of bright brass buttons down the front of his coat. He winks familiarly as you pass and spreads his hands: eight fingers.
You've seen him before. Of course you have. He was beside your bed when you woke this morning. Or were you still asleep?
Note: Your Nightmares are reaching a dangerous level.

'Excuse me, sir -'
'Do I know you? I think I know you. How kind of you to speak to me!' He beams. 'So few do. Did you need my help? I'd be happy to help. I always am. Let's meet in Ladybones Road. Ninth lamp-post from Clathermont's. I'll see you there!'
At this distance there's something migrainous and vague about his outline. It hurts your eyes.
