[Someone has been very careful in setting up and activating his PORTAL, so that the feed he's broadcasting right now is limited.

Oh it was! For a while anyway, Charlie really did disapprove quite a bit, but it was all in good fun. He'd pretend to hypnotize me, you see, and I would run about the room crawling into the lap of anyone Bertie pointed out as my mother, and everyone would just laugh and laugh to see such a silly thing, magic or not.

[He laughs.] I don't suppose I can count on you to guide me through it, can I?

[auto_enthusiast]

Oh? You'd leave poor me to flounder in the mire of humanity's quirks and foibles?

[mitzigaynor]

There's not a thing to be done about it! I'm just as lost as you are.
