EMPLOYMENT AMA
Preferred Alias: Magnus Lightwood-Bane

Worst Job(s) Held: That might be a toss-up between escorting a ship full of animal droppings through enemy waters and nearly anything involving politics. At least the former was a one-way trip (to the bottom of the ocean, but nonetheless). I got less muck on my shoes, too.

Best Job(s) Held: Transportation adviser to the queen of France. Club owner in multiple universes. I did a brief turn as a private investigator, trench coat and all. Oh, speakeasy operator! No trench coat for that one.

Fantasy Job(s): Perhaps one day I'll open a night club in outer space...

Current Job(s): High warlock. Until recently, club owner. Baked good taste tester. I also work full-time as one half of the Lightwood-Bane Coalition for Uninterrupted Date Nights.

Yes, so it would seem we're both safe, wouldn't it?

It may be wise to start with nothing more involved or complicated than finding out who exactly is here and how many we number.

[ Magnus thinks there are probably ways to appeal to people to participate. He'll be noodling that over for awhile, no doubt. ] Do you mind portal travel? Some people find it unsettling.

You're putting ideas in my head, Axel.

Good to know we're all safe, isn't it?

Perhaps not, but I wouldn't underestimate the desire of everyone here to find a familiar face. The thought of seeing someone they know might merit a look around. You're right about the computers though, that should help. Maybe more than the daemons themselves, since they seem to be a little inconsistent with their information.

I'm glad to hear I have your trust where travel is concerned! I can promise a less bumpy trip than the one we took arriving here.

Maybe you should put that on your resume. Inspirational!

[lacquers]

Well, that's my hope. As always.

I don't think it could hurt. No one should be separated from their loved ones if possible. I know it's not likely that we'll all find every person we're seeking, but I don't see the harm in hoping.

No, I'm not able to leave. Otherwise, I think my magic is mostly unaffected. There are a few things I haven't tested for one reason or another. It just seemed safer not to!

And if that's not inspiring people, what is it, my friend?

[lacquers]

Perpetuating a situation where people can't find hope isn't something I'd want to be responsible for.

That said, I'm not completely averse to exercising caution! I know it may not seem like it, but I have a reason or two for looking before I leap. [ One pretty huge one. ]

If that's how you want to put it, Axel.

[lacquers]

I didn't think so. [ He may see you as a fellow softie, Axel. It's possible. ]

'Braver' is a nice way of putting it! I don't think it's unfair to say some of us longer-lived types might be inclined to recklessness. Maybe we're alive because we're careful, but I'm sure some get tired of being vigilant. And some are invulnerable, of course. [ Except maybe to things like sunlight... ]

I hope it's clear that's what I was implying. That you're a good friend. I don't see you as an empty symbol.
