°007 - from Mandrake's PCD

[imakefootnotes]

[John Mandrake comes onto the feed looking, well, cool. His hair is done in a much more fashionable style, his clothes are loose and un-tucked and he has an air of knowing just how awesome he is. He is lounging in a room that seems different to the kind he is usually seen in - as Bartimaeus has currently quit Whipstaff. Oh yes, Bartimaeus is currently in residence in his former master's body and also in a very bad mood with said former master.]

I realise that I have been rather the stick-in-the-mud recently... well, always, but I would like to open myself up to you all. I have no way with women, no real social skills to speak of and my feet smell terrible.

No-one is perfect, you see and I am finally coming to understand that also applies to myself.

In short, I, John Mandrake, am a bit of a prat. I just thought you should all know that.

What am I allowed to find out?

That depends on what you want to know, but I know it was wrong of me to be so secretive. [the spirit-human smirks]

video

[saintedsinner]

Uh huh. You already said that before. So what other secrets are you keeping?

-=With the event, he knows full well he's probably not talking to Mandrake, but he'll just go with the flow. One never knows...=-

Well, there is the time I knocked myself out by handling a magical artifact I wasn't ready for. That was embarrassing.

[saintedsinner]

So you're magically inclined? What was it?

The Staff of William Gladstone.

[saintedsinner]

Sounds impressive. -=He supposes.=- What's it do?

video

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Generally? Makes things go boom.

Re: video

[saintedsinner]

So it's a glorified boom stick.

video

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Pretty much.

[saintedsinner]

You get caught with your pants down at any time?

video

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Really haven't...unless you count the time I forgot to put my trousers on.

video

[saintedsinner]

When'd you do that?

video

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

I was twelve, had to change into a disguise but I was in a hurry and forgot the bottom part.

video

[saintedsinner]

Why'd you need a disguise?

video

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Needed to sneak in to somewhere a junior minister was planning to murder half of the government to stop him.

video

[saintedsinner]

That's not good.

video

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Yeah well, even losers like myself have to do good things from time to time.

video

[saintedsinner]

So what good things have you done?

[While Bart was originally going for the humiliate-Nathaniel-as-much-as-possible tack, they were still friends (sort of), after all.]

Stopped that minister from killing everyone, stopped a young rebel from being killed and ended up saving most of my country. [he pulls a face] Oh and I guess I saved Bartimaeus, too. Repaying the favour, of course.

video

[saintedsinner]

Of course.

So what did Barty do for you?

video

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Only saved me life time and time again, usually at great risk to himself. You know, I should go thank him profusely on all fours and tell him how worthless I am for not thanking him properly before this.

video

[saintedsinner]

Uh... huh.... -=That's a different mannerism for sure.=-

video

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

What about you?

video

[saintedsinner]

Me? What about me?
