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.

[He has a name, a name Taako even knows, and one he still isn't using. Wonderful.]
You've probably gotten that you're stuck here, right? Like, no matter how many cool powers and shit you have, 'cause trust me, if out was an option I'd have, uh, deffo found it by now.
video
[Cheerily; they're on nicknames, right?]
video
You can't think of anything more fun than that? Come on, I have some great features.
[And then, without missing a beat--]
Anyway, like I said, there's no way out unless the Door decides to take pity on you basically. I've been here more than a year now, and wow, that sucks so much more to say out loud.

[With a snort.]
So what have you been up to since the fight?
video
[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.
video
What's the deal, what happens?
video
[He's an animated talker and does a lot of gestures there, but he looks plenty mad about the subject matter.]
video
[Asks Quentin, who has played a fuckton of D&D in his time and knows full well what a lich is, and also is into precise magical taxonomy.]
video
No it's like, what they literally are. Listen, I dealt with this back home, it's some necromancy shit. They take the emotion and use it to sustain them and morph the world. If you're a decent lich you deal with your own shit, but if you go all power hungry you start taking it like a dick.
[To his own credit: pretty accurate to his lived experience with liches.]
Re: video
I just don't think they pick specific emotions to eat though? Or are super up on interdimensional magic?
Or cooperation, for that matter.
video
[He's shaped the world with magic, he doesn't see why they couldn't figure out how to split the emotions that way.]
video
[Ugh, he's pinching the bridge of his nose.]
Is there advil here?
video
Just stick your head in the cold ass water, it'll probably do the same thing. And then when you've stopped feeling bad about it, you can start workin' on ways to stick it to 'em with the rest of us.
video
Talk later.
video
Check the clinic, my man! Maybe if you whine enough they'll help you out!
[He'd offer, but 1- he has no healing spells, and 2- why would he ever do that.]
