[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?

[ Well, no, that's not true. They did give him a primer. ]
Apparently I counsel people over their magical life concerns, help them work through adjustment periods or solve out of control abilities, stuff like that.
[ Which he actually does understand more than he wants to let on. ]
Or I help the monsters in our closets when they suffer from sensual terror dysfunction. Maybe that.
[ Christian, no. ]
I think I'd take that job right about now.
no subject
[At least that's what it sounds like until Christian mentions closets and some kind of dysfunction. That causes Alec to roll his eyes.]
Sensual terror dysfunction... It sounds like you want to be a couples' therapist instead of a mentor.
no subject
[The joke is actually light with a note of appreciation in the way Alec put the description to words. It makes much more sense that way than Christian trying to tackle the job with his own ideas as the basis for his definition.]
I think it would be interesting, don't you? But no, I probably need an actual license for that. This is just sort of... general advice. Magic cursed your laundry machine. That kind of thing.
