°007 - from Mandrake's PCD

[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.

No?

...oh, alright, yes,

Where did you leave him?

Where he left me. [a hard look, but it isn't directed at Rei] In a pentacle.

[She's quiet for a moment as she places the information before her brow furrows.]

Trapped?

Edited 2011-12-10 01:31 (UTC)

Yes. He summoned and bound me in to a pentacle again. He might have been able to get himself out being such an eminent magician and all, but I hope he hurt himself trying. [there is a real bitterness to Bartimaeus' words that he cannot disguise when in Nathaniel's body]

Well, it isn't like I'm unused to him breaking his promises about summoning me.

Why did he do that?

[As patiently as possible.]

He says he wanted to find me. I suggested the PCD but I guess it wasn't grand enough for Mr. Mandrake.

[ ... sigh.]

You guys really need to stop being idiots.

No, he needs to stop being a prat and we can all rub along as we did before. He forgets I am no longer here to do his bidding.

I am a free djinn. [something occurs to him] Possibly the first ever free djinn. [and that was down to...well, Nathaniel. Hmm.]

[Rei only arches her eyebrows at Bartimaeus.

Go on. Connect the dots.

You can do it.

She has full faith in your intelligence level.]

[Bartimaeus had already connected the dots at the moment Nathaniel had released him from his earthly body, but he had not considered it in this kind of light before. It made it seem somehow different.]

Which just highlights the fact he needs to call me like he would anyone else and not via a summoning. [oh, Bart.]

Keeping him trapped inside a pentacle is not the way to discuss this.

You're both morons.

Yes, but it felt so good. Gave me tingles and everything. [ignores that other comment.]

Mature.

Had over five thousands years of practice at being ~mature.
