imakefootnotes[a muscular blue-skinned man with glowing yellow eyes and pointy ears is currently sitting outside in the fog, pressing buttons it seems at random as the feed flicks on. He looks like he is concentrating on trying to figure out something on his device, but the expression (and occasional angry gleam in said eyes) shows that he is likely a total novice to this technology stuff. Another button press and [x,y] flashes up, showing that he is actually much closer to where the Animus are thought to be than most people like to get.]
I give up. Stupid human device. [the PCD is dropped disdainfully to the floor and it lands, at a slight angle on the ground, propped up by a rock it landed next to. The figure fades a little and looks much more like the fog but somehow...more real and certainly more beautiful in it's purity. The coalescing vapour that is thegreat and noble djinni etc etc spirit Bartimaeus of Uruk suddenly stops it's sinuous movement and hangs motionless in the air. A tombstone is becoming visible in the swirling fog and a sound issues from the vapour.]
No, no don't make me see it again. Stupid mane. Never take the form of a lion, you should have known it.

Date: 2011-10-28 09:01 pm (UTC)...Haven't made a trip yet. [And someone who turns into smoke talking about an Other Place - well he's certainly just marked himself as interesting.] What's it like exactly?
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 09:06 pm (UTC)[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 09:08 pm (UTC)... Mind if I ask what you are?
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 09:14 pm (UTC)~I~ am Rekhyt of Alexandria, Necho of Jerusalem, Sakhr Al-Jinni, N'Gorso the Mighty, Wakonda of the Algonquin and the Serpent of Silver Plumes - you have the honour of addressing a noble djinni of the fourth level. [the smoke has somehow puffed itself a little with it's egomaniacal tirade]
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 09:18 pm (UTC)Well, I've gotta say you have an edge on me. Never heard that bit about levels before, though.
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 09:22 pm (UTC)[now that interests him] I can't tell through this cursed thing - are you not human? You don't seem like a magician. [as he sort of jabs with the smoke, which doesn't work, he changes form into a sparrow and uses his beak to set the PCD upright again. He also says 'magician' as if it was a word synonymous with 'the lowest pit slime']
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 09:25 pm (UTC)[A quick blink of surprise at the transformation into a bird. And here he'd been assuming it was a matter of taking or losing one form. That'll teach him.]
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 09:34 pm (UTC)[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 09:39 pm (UTC)[He certainly hasn't been a commoner in a while.]
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 09:41 pm (UTC)Are there noble entities such as I where you are from? [says the sparrow.]
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 09:47 pm (UTC)[He chuckles.] You spend a lot of your time hangin' out with humans?

Date: 2011-10-28 10:21 pm (UTC)In my world Earth and the Other Place are...two parts of a whole. Magicians summon us from our home and make us do their bidding. We are often only freed by their deaths. I've been summoned by them for over five thousand years.
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 10:29 pm (UTC)Raw deal you guys get.
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 10:32 pm (UTC)Yeah, but if they get a syllable wrong, a mistake in their pentacle, then we get to nobble them.
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 10:36 pm (UTC)Which gets ya outa the summoning problem, right? How often's that happen?
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 10:39 pm (UTC)I remember once, this horrid old magician had me steal an artefact of great power - the usual fare for magicians, that - and I tricked him into thinking a clasp on it was dangerous. So, he made me trigger it - I knew it shot water out of it and I blasted him out of his circle. Nobbled him pretty good.
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 10:43 pm (UTC)I've gotta say, though, it still doesn't sound like that great a life. All that runnin' around takin' orders from whoever happens ta drag you in....

Date: 2011-10-28 10:55 pm (UTC)[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 11:01 pm (UTC)Being on this physical plane of existence itches my essence, but it isn't as bad near the Animus.
[video]
Date: 2011-10-28 11:07 pm (UTC)[A long thoughtful pause.] Do ya mind company? I think I'd like ta check that spot out.
