✨ 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.]

There is a forest.

[ Thor couldn't help the way his eyebrows went up at being referred to as an 'outdoorsy type'. Was that what he was? He had taken to the beach here rather well. ]

I'll admit I haven't spent as much time exploring the outskirts as I perhaps should have. The ocean can be very distracting.

Is that something you often pack?

[ Thor hadn't exactly packed anything. He'd come wearing his armour and carrying Mjolnir. Now he tended to walk around without either. Mjolnir wasn't exactly needed. Nor was his armour. ]

It's one of the places. The club I work at seems to be the other one. I am a bouncer!

[ It's really quite ridiculous how proud he is of his position, but simple pleasures... ]

It suits me for now. I am not sure employment is going to be a strong suit of mine, but at least I can use a few of the skills I've gathered over the years.

[ Thor laughed at Magnus' promise. Few did mess with the god, but The Deviant had its bad nights like any club. ]

The Deviant. You cannot miss it, even if it does not look like much from the outside.

Perhaps it attracts a certain type of person.

[ Or perhaps it's Faith that attracts a certain type of person. Thor wouldn't exactly have a job without having spoken to her. Luck had been on his side.

Thor's eyebrows went up a little before he smiled back. ]


I am fairly certain you will make it in the door just fine, my friend. I am there most nights.

[ And you can't exactly miss him towering above most of the crowd. ]
