✨ video; oo1. un: pandemonium
[The video opens on Magnus, hair a little more mussed than usual, eyeliner in place but smudged, clearly working hard and distracted.]
Hello, everyone, I am Magnus Bane, and I have something of a dilemma.
[The camera swings around to a table with a small cauldron on it, a set of brass scales, and several small bottles and jars, most of them empty. Magnus appears again, keeping the bookshelf in view over his shoulder.]
Of course I brought my spellbook with me, and my brewing equipment—never trust a cauldron you haven't seasoned yourself—but where might one go to buy potion ingredients? I'm low on… [He looks over his shoulder, assessing the supplies he's brought with him.] ...saffron threads, vampire hair, grave dirt, lavender...well, everything. Space was at a premium and I'm afraid I couldn't bring my inventory with me.
[The phone comes with Magnus, floats with Magnus on a cloud of blue smoke, as he walks away from his brewing headquarters, and now in the background can be seen half-unpacked boxes, the walls hung with sweeping red and blue silks. There's stuff everywhere, far too much for the apartment's size, but the image steadies as Magnus turns again, sweeping out his arms.] I only need the basics for now. And if you need something, do let me know. No love potions, but I conjure up a wicked energy booster for mornings after. Or nights before.
[With a wink, Magnus snaps his fingers and the video ends in a colorful shimmer of light before the screen goes black.]

video. un: hartbeat.
Right. ( it's not alright, but what can you do? ) No love potions, got it.
Can you make it stop raining, or is that too much to ask for?

[He sighs, then looks thoughtful, and the phone comes with him to the window as he looks out at the rain.]
Make it stop? I don't think so. Weather effects are usually a side effect of other spells. I could cast a spell that keeps you from getting wet, if that would help. Why, is this an unusual rain? Is it not the rainy season here?
no subject
I'm not exactly a weather girl but I'm pretty sure this isn't normal. The whole "unintentional confession" thing isn't your usual paradise-on-not-Earth shtick.
no subject
[He squints suspiciously at the rain before tugging a dark red velvet curtain across the window with a twitch of his fingers and a blue blossom of magic.]
Nothing I can do about that, I'm afraid, not without knowing who's cast the curse. I hope it hasn't revealed too many secrets. And that I have "unpacking" as a reason not to go out until it's cleared up.
