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.

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

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.

[she listens to the description with a slowly growing smile]

Oh, my god, you're still into her!

Of course.

[He doesn't protest.]

It's Alice.

[the smile fades and she shakes her head]

You should never get hung-up on an ex. It always leads to trouble.

It isn't like we broke up because we went to different colleges. She got killed saving my life.

And you brought her back. I remember. Did she. . . say anything about wanting to get back together?

There wasn't time. We were in an apocalypse, then I was here.

We'll talk about it when I get back.

No wonder why you're so eager to go home.
