[Well, this is certainly bringing things full circle. The irony doesn't escape him, but this time Christian is actually making an effort to do his job. As much as can be expected from him, of course.
Which means the network gets a nice view of a man at a small desk, looking more like an assistant than a professional in his oversized sweater and jeans completing the look with tousled hair. He's organizing books on the surface as he addresses the network, with titles including How to Find Yourself, Practical Counseling, and The Pocket Manual for Technical Magic stacked on top of each other. He has the phone sitting on one such stack, propped up behind the others.]
So. [Wait, false start.] You ever feel like this place is just a little bit weird?
I mean, how many cities have portals that lead to other worlds and collect people? And hire Magic Counselors? Hi, I'm Christian, Magic Counselor if you ever need one. I'm not sure how many people here do the magic thing. Do you?

How does a magical counselor differ from a normal one?

[See how funny he is?]
Seriously, though. I almost expect to have appointments with angels and swamp monsters. You think they need counseling?

The crazy thing about this place is that I can't tell if you're kidding about the gremlin part.
And they probably do. I mean, can you imagine how hard it must be to go around being good all the time if you were an angel? As for the swamp monster, maybe a friend making seminar or something? That's got to be lonely.
[Please don't say demons need therapy too, though.]
video;
What would you do if I wasn't kidding? Maybe there are gremlins here.
[For a minute, he really does sound genuine.]
I can't speak for the angels, but I've heard being a monster can be pretty lonely. Being a spirit can often be loneliness. I mean that literally.
[And there goes that sincerity.]
And I'm sure they've got plenty of relationship issues.
no subject
Well, I suppose I'd wonder who fed them after midnight or got them wet.
[Because Gremlins, get it? Alex makes bad jokes.
But onto slightly more serious issues for a moment. Maybe.]
Wow, that's a whole romance novel selection that somehow becomes more poignant, I guess. Maybe I need to send an author I met an apology.
no subject
Did you offend an occult romance author recently? Maybe they were actually a magical creature in disguise. I've heard that can happen, although I can't really confirm that myself.
no subject
Vocal about things. And I'm afraid my show kind of offended a lot of people in the occult community.
[Death threats oh my.]
no subject
That sounds fun. So what about you? You're not secretly a magical creature, are you? If you are, the disguise is really good.
no subject
Nope, just your average run of the mill podcast reporter.
[Who may or may not cause the end of the world. Whoops.]
no subject
[He doesn't think she's lying, but...]
Does something like that actually make money?
no subject
We started with a group of ghost hunters, and then narrowed focus down to one from there.
no subject
[He maybe should know, but these days he's finding it hard to connect with normal things he used to. That should alarm him. It should.]
So you cover paranormal occupations. Mediums, witch doctors and things. Now, I mean.
[Should he laugh? He doesn't want to, but it hits an uncomfortable chord in him. A little too close to home.]
Have you ever talked to a real one? Or were they all...
[He can't make himself say hoax.]
no subject
[and alex had gotten to the point where she was trying to disprove him. Sort of.]
I've talked to people who could do things I can't explain, I guess. I don't think they're fake.
no subject
[That's actually more familiar to him, which helps for some strange reason. There's nothing that is better than feeling closer to home, right?]
And you believe in them. The things you saw. Would you be willing to share a story or two? You know, for research.
no subject
[Even if he doesn't actually have a million, but that's Strand for you.]
I do believe in them. [Yep, she's admitting it. There it is.]
And of course I'd be willing to tell stories. It's what I do.
no subject
[That's arrogance. Christian almost rolls his eyes, but he manages to hold back.]
People like that never believe what they see even if you show them real proof. There's always a better explanation, a more logical answer. That's why we don't have magic running free... Although I guess that's not always a bad thing.
[It does limit the number of attacks they have.]
I'd rather hear one of your stories. What have you seen?
