Well, clearly somebody skipped the lesson on matching our accessories. [ The disembodied voice, with just the hint of several different countries in its depths, is joined by the blur of black and white mesh before it focuses on the deeply unhappy face of one Magnus Bane. To the untrained he looks normal - well, normal for a given use of the word - coloured skin and gold-green eyes. Of course, there's the glitter adorning those eyelids, and the hue of his lipstick to contend with but come on, it's the twenty-first century. He has a reputation to uphold.

To those of a more supernatural persuasion Magnus is more Chesire like. In that those eyes are shaped like a cats and flash when he moves as though light has been shone into his face. ]

Whoever thought that dragging me from my planned alcohol induced revelry was a good idea - it wasn't. Next time how about a nice RSVP. One of those little envelopes gilded in gold. Or sent with a goody bag. I like bonbons. In fact I only party with people who like bonbons. If you don't there's something deeply disturbing about you and I suggest you see a psychiatrist immediately. Or phone up the late-night psychics. Mistress Night read my palm once. [ A grin. ] And other places. My future's very bright.

[ A pause, and then the smirk drops off his face. ] Come on faceless and mysterious message givers, I haven't got all day. I have a nice loft all of my own and while your hospitality is interesting there are still several bars in Brooklyn that require my ability to drink them dry.

[ Who dares disturb the High Warlock, indeed. ]

[ Sigh. ]

If I didn't know better, I'd say my least favourite Shadowhunter has gone through some serious operation. [ A bright smile. ] The weapon of surly teenagers truly is the same everywhere.

[ Considering Magnus doesn't look that much older. ] How about we introduce ourselves before we get into the whole verbal warfare thing? I like to know who I'm biting my thumb at, you know?

Shadowhunter?

[ She shrugs. ]

You're biting your thumb at the scientist here. As for me, I'm too adorable for people to bite their thumbs at me.

But, since we're both prisoners here, Veronica. Veronica Mars.

[ He shrugs one shoulder, brushing off her curiosity to respond to the other part of her response. ]

Magnus. Magnus Bane. [ Said in the exact same tone as her. ] Now then, adorable Veronica Mars, tell me about the scientists. I'm not big on it. [ Because magic. ] The lab coats are too white.

[ At. Tuh. Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.

This is the face of the unimpressed, Bane. THIS IS THE FACE. UNIMPRESSED. Look at it. See it's unimpressed demeanor. It's unimpressed expression. And, if you still have time, swing by to look at the unimpressed features that help make the unimpressed face a wholly unimpressed face. ]

I... just did.

[ Tell you about the scientists, she means. NEENER. Neh neh neh NEENER! ]

I think you've given me the wrong a-word there, dear.

[ Seriously, what is it with teenagers and sarcasm. ] Are we going to have a sass-off? Because while I'm sure your retorts are going to be imaginative and nothing I have ever heard before but I'd rather get on with the fact finding mission.

Think less MTV and more History Channel.

[ ... What? Um. Okay. Under the rub, Veronica. Back in the saddle. ]

[ She tilts her head to the side and widens her eyes. Who's a smartie? Not her, surely. She's way too dumb. ]

His... Story Channel? Ohmigod, is that where Justin Timberlake talks about, like, his favorite guys or something?

I thought Lance would be the go-to guy for that.

[ And now she looks really confused. ]

It's worse than I thought, I've gone back in time and N*Sync are still in the world.

[ Head in hands. ] I think I might be hallucinating. I knew the mushroom on my pizza looked suspect.

So when are you from, mushroom man?

When? Not where? Interesting. So am I to assume we've got a little bit of time travel on our hands?

Time travel and universe hopping. You might have been a special snowflake in your world, but here... Trust me. Nothing about you is weird or unusual here.

[ Not compared to the Hulk, at least. ]

[ A huff of laughter, running a hand through that spiky hair of his. ]

I'm sure there are some things still unique about me.

[ See this face, Magnus? This face says she isn't so sure at all. ]

Uh-huh. Yep. You're really acting different so far.

Well. You have fun being a special snowflake. I'm going to go be as normal as a girl can be in a place like this.

Sarcastic and boring? You poor unfortunate soul. [ Yeah, he did just quote Disney at you. ]

It seems like being normal would be a curse in a reality hopping white van. Did they tell you there was candy inside? Because ninety percent of the time that's a lie.

Maybe you just don't pick the right vans. I always got candy.

Did you seriously just call me boring?

[ Hello, new target to annoy. ]

Yes. Considering you've given up nothing of value or entertainment.
