Costume party! Dude, awesome. Who's going? I've got my costume already.
Raven, you'll save me a dance? Or two or three. Assuming there is dancing. And Aara, Claudia, Bryn, Chloe, Rapunzel, I'm totally expecting dancing from you, too. Actually, pretty much just might ask everyone I know to dance, just tossing that out as a warning.

1 - Something about a dashing djinni saving the day is a most excellent recommendation, but keenly accurate to real life. Something with a little more escapism perhaps? There is also the matter of age-appropriate material. Humans commit to film things which I would advise against exposing the general public to. They are called 'home videos' and are quite atrocious as I understand it.

I hadn't actually thought that far ahead! If somehow this actually does manage to work, I guess I'd take a vote? I'm all for the Star Wars trilogy, myself.
But yeah, man, no worries. Home videos are pretty much the opposite of what I had in mind.

2 - Before anyone things of this as kindness, try putting it in perspective. For every human tied up watching a movie, there is one less to summon me for at least an hour. Or are you one of those humans that feel spirits don't deserve coffee breaks? I thought so.

But, wait. Does that mean you're a spirit, then?

3 - There's nothing worse than having a civil conversation with someone, only to have them summon you a year later because it turns out that they're a magician. It's better to cover my bases, as you imagine. Fewer awkward summonings that way.

[He blinks for a moment, then smiles and shakes his head.]
Oh! No, I'm not a magician. And yeah, definitely no messing around with any kind of summoning here. No worries.

[Yes. That is feigned shock and awe in his voice. There would be dripping sarcasm as well, but you've gone and complimented him. Some leeway's been given in that regard.]
No magic from whence you came then? Excellent! The less of an understanding about magic, the more the purpose to summoning me becomes invalid. I, for one, would not mind being left to my obsoletion in the Other Place.

Hey, it's not fantasy. It's just my own version of reality. There's a saying on my world that goes, 'I reject your reality, and substitute my own.'
[He shakes his head slightly.]
Nope, no magic. People with abilities, sure, but not any kind of summoning, as far as I know. Not something I'd be doing, anyway, it just seems like it'd annoying. I mean, you're trying to go about your business, and keep getting interrupted by people summoning you all the time? I'd start greeting them with a face full of frost.

Ah, but these abilities you mention! Magic without smoke and mirrors is invariably the work of a spirit in the background, don't you agree?
Reply
Yeah, I can see how you'd like that. Added bonus of being not only annoying, but practical! The frost is the only thing I've got in my repertoire, though.
[Bobby shakes his head.]
Not on my world. It's genetics there, though I guess you could probably call it magic, if you wanted. But I do know there's no spirit making it so I can make ice.

This wouldn't happen to be contagious, would it? A cough here and I carry it back to my world, alas! Suddenly magicians are able to do their own dirty work. What tragedy!
Reply
[And then he chuckles again.]
Nope, it's not contagious. No one's ever caught being a mutant, anyway.
