video- bat signalling

[magician_king]

Okay, I guess I'm a little overdue for this-

[Here goes nothing.]

My name is Quentin Coldwater. I'm a magician. I used to teach at Brakebills, and for a while, I lived in Fillory. I've got a pretty good grounding in physics and mathematics, and interuniversal travel. Normally I would consider myself able to claw my way out of this shit, but no dice this time.

Is there anyone here who knows anything about any or all of the above?

[He pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose, a nervous habit.]

I would like to get the fuck out of here, if anyone has any, uh, inroads on that one. Novel, I'm sure, but we've all got to start somewhere. Cheers.

Not all of them are related though, right? There's a ton of shit I've never heard of.

I can see how that's not something you'd love repeating out loud, yeah.

[With a snort.]

So what have you been up to since the fight?

[magician_king]

I love detail.

[Smiling.]

And I'll pour hours into magic.

[magician_king]

[He disconnects, to go begin enacting a plan.]

Who's Dan?

[Lifting his eyebrows at this new name.]

Ex?

[magician_king]

And that's my point. It's not just minor changes.

And that means the standard systems won't allow us to shift between the whole.

[magician_king]

No kidding.

[And, moving on with just a blink.]

And you're- what, exactly?

[demonsional]

I'm a demon!

[A simple enough answer.]

Daenerys Targaryen. [ There's a pause. ] You sound as if you're used to trouble finding you.

[stealyoursoul]

I can get that. I'm the same way about music.

[Leo could spend hours by himself just playing his guitar or flute even when he had no patience for anything else in his life.]

[magician_king]

As in from hell?

[He's both startled and totally unsurprised.]

[magician_king]

I've been through the wringer once or twice.

What about you? Were you living a nice, normal life before you got here?

[magician_king]

Are you a musician?

[He asks, a little surprised.]

This might be quite an adjustment.

[stealyoursoul]

Something like that, yeah. I used it back home to help people.

[Which is a vague way of getting around introducing himself as a soul-eating monster.]

[demonsional]

Yes! It's a big scary place and I never wanna go back! No, no, no sir!

[not just any ex, the ex. the one who broke her heart once, then mended it when he came back to her, and the one who made her choose to fall out of love with him just before Jane came here]

Yeah. One of many. [a lie] How about you? Got any exes we should watch out for?

video

[magician_king]

Just Alice. And if she turns up here it'll be a relief. She'll have us out of here in a heartbeat.

[Warm, utter faith.]

[magician_king]

Right. I've been to a version, I wouldn't want to live their either, kid.

video

[myrealname]

Yeah? She's that good?

video

[magician_king]

Better than.

Anyways, if you see her, tell her I'm here.

video

[myrealname]

Will do. But I'll need to know what she looks like.

[magician_king]

Ash blonde, pin straight hair, glasses. About 5'3 and maybe 130? Soft face, very light blue eyes. Knock your socks off beautiful.

[Says Quentin, with a tiny little smile.]

One of those 'inner light' kind of people.

[pocketspa]

Hey, not my fault this place is a bastion of bullshit. You're stuck in it too, my man.

[Don't laugh at him, you're caught in the scrub zone too.]

But y'know, little of this, little of that. A few fuckin' sucky events. 'Bout the usual around here.

[demonsional]

[He was basically just shouting, but his voice here drops down to a whisper.]

They're really mean there. It's...full of meanies!

[You know, just in case any meanies are listening and get offended.]

video

[magician_king]

Yeah, talk me through this event thing?

What's the deal, what happens?
