So, I bring two orders of business to the table.

The first is how do you guys cope with not knowing what's going on in your favorite shows. Is there like, a secret in to tv spoilers. Or does that get to close to possibly spoiling the people from that world? Either way, I'm dying here.

And for the second part... This one goes out to all the technopaths out there. I can do pretty much anything if I have schematics, but I don't. And I got this nifty little thing for Christmas that ended up just being a hunk of plastic. So if any of you technologically inclined geniuses would be so kind as to fix it, I'm sure I can scrounge up some sort of reward.

I figure it'll be there when I get back. I'm honestly just glad to not have to watch the news every day.

The news was the best part of every day.

[ Well, okay. No it wasn't. It was if the reporters were praising the heroics of the Young Avengers or his solo work, but otherwise it could be super depressing.

C'est la vie. ]

Wow, do you come from a world without politics or something?

I wish. I come from a world where it's generally a good idea to get a heads up on any big threats and slash or supernatural super villain revivals.

I have heard about the days when the supernatural was news. Sounds like a pain in the arse honestly.

That's one way of putting it.

I was trying to be polite. Although these days with the magic and stuff, people just get on with it unless it's something really big.

Oh, that. Yeah, that's pretty mundane for us. People coming back from the dead is getting up there with "things you just learn to roll with" too. The news just gives a helpful heads up on who to avoid.

That... you know coming back from the dead is generally the province of necromancy and not generally a good thing.

[Ugh, it creeps him out just thinking about it.]

I generally specialise in getting rid of dead things.

Necromancy, alien abduction, time travel, advanced technology - it comes in all kinds. [ Alllll kinds. ]

Oh yeah?

I will take your word on the alien abduction-time travel things. I mean, the fae will abduct people but they're not exactly aliens.

I'm an exorcist, amongst other things.

Trust me, you really don't want to know. It's a huuuuuge headache and an even bigger story.

But an exorcist, huh. That pay well?

Got enough of those to be going along with on our own.

It pays pretty well, yeah. Keeps me in food and electricity.

Total ghost kill count?

I'm not sure if 'kill' is the right word, but I dunno, getting on for a hundred over the last few years.

Kill, dismiss. Same diff. [ Wait. ] That is what you do, right?

Yeah, that is what I do. Why? What were you expecting? Trapping poor lost souls in bottles to put on my mantelpiece?

If they glow you'd never have to pay the electricity bill again.

I suppose there is that. I'd probably just go for Will O' the Wisps if I was gonna do that though. Less creepy.

And those are?

Mindless little balls of light. I guess the faerie equivalent of fireflies. They lead people astray in the wilds.

Oh, great. Sounds fun!

They have their uses. I did once end chasing a bunch of them around a wood all night because an old lady thought they were a poor lost spirit that needed sending on to a better place.

Do they talk?

They whisper. Nothing really intelligible but it can sound like human speech if you aren't careful.
