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. ]

Do excuse the interruption, but just what the bloody hell are you, anyway?

[ ...Look who is also tired of being confused by the EVERYTHING in this place. ]

[ A hum. Maybe the person on the other end of this is really, really ugly. It's a shame, he likes looking at ~~eyecandy~~ people. ]

I think the word you're struggling for there is fabulous.

[ Magnus pls, he has seduced ladies in the thousands. Meanwhile, Hal allows a beat of ~~sarcasm~~ silence to hang before deciding: ]

No. It isn't.

Suave? Interesting? Delicious?

[ Oh Hal, you can't just ask a question like that and not get one entirely sarcastic reply from the Warlock in return. Were this video you'd even see him picking at those gorgeous coloured fingernails of his. ]

Come on now, anonymous voice. Don't be shy.

I mean what sort of species do you call yourself, if we must perform this clumsy little waltz.

Dancing? Already? [ A snort of laughter. ] And you haven't even given me your name. How modern.

[ Then a pause. He weighs it up carefully. Magnus isn't exactly shy about what he is. Never has been. Only time has forced him to cover it up. Gone are the days where people believed in anything and his forwardness has suffered.

Still, he's been asked. ] Warlock, Lilith's child, he with the badass magic and even more appealing facial features. Pick your poison.

[ Hal would blush furiously because he is English and repressed, but he is fortunately (un)dead and therefore nigh-incapable. ]

Either you know perfectly well I was using a figure of speech or you are an undersexed Neanderthal.

[ ...well, that IS more interesting than whatever else is happening in this conversation. Modern, indeed. ]

A necromancer? Are you a ghost, then?

[ Squint, which ...Magnus can't see. Usually he can tell, but then they're not in proximity and he doesn't have a visual to confirm. ]

Undersexed? [ Appalled. Absolutely appalled. ] Excuse me, but there's nothing about my sex that's under anything. Except for my rather willing and eager bed-partner.

[ ... ] Is this Offend Magnus Day? No, I'm a Warlock. I'm most certainly not a ghost.

[ Their collective appalled...ness can now be seen from space. ]

This conversation is going to lead nowhere but a headache, is it?

Sweetheart, that excuse stopped working once the nineties ended.

[ Oh, I can't argue with you today darling, I've a headache. ]
