[the_opener]

Oh. Well, that's comforting.

Sort of, I mean.

[foreshadower]

Only marginally, I know.

You're still trapped here.

[the_opener]

So I read.

Why does everyone always do it that way? [He's gesturing angrily now, and making faces to go along with this mimicked dialogue] "Oh, welcome to wherever-this-is, Tim. By the way, we just brought you here and you're trapped now. And now we want you to do things for us." Maybe I'd feel more like it if they ever asked instead of just taking.

[foreshadower]

You'd think she would ask, and she may receive some of us.

I think she enjoys trapping people, though.

[the_opener]

That's a cheerful thought. It's bad enough when they want something. It's worse if it's just for a lark.

[foreshadower]

Indeed, indeed.

Although if you are able to wave your fingers and return us, I would hardly complain.

[the_opener]

Do you think I could?

I mean, just because they tell you you're trapped, that doesn't mean you are. But that doesn't mean you can just wish yourself out either.

[foreshadower]

Perhaps, perhaps. I have heard things from Zatanna.

However, I find myself unable to, and in fact, I'm far-removed from the center of my power.

[the_opener]

[He visibly perks up at this]

Zatanna talks about me?

[foreshadower]

She's mentioned you.

I take it that is a good thing?

[the_opener]

Oh, well, I just didn't think she would. She's awfully busy, you know. Or at least she was.

[foreshadower]

Indeed, but she has time enough to converse with her fellow imports.

[the_opener]

I guess that makes sense. [He manages not to say that it's just he thought she had better things to talk about than him. That would be too awkward even for him. Instead he changes the subject]

Your magic is centered on a place? I don't think mine is.

[foreshadower]

Oh no, I'm not exactly magic.

It's hardly something that's an interesting tale.

[the_opener]

I think most people think that about themselves. They think no one could really be interested in them.

But that doesn't mean they're right.

[foreshadower]

[ He coughs ]

No, I think you misunderstand me.

I do not wish to share the specifics.

[the_opener]

People say that one a lot, too.

[foreshadower]

I say it with good reason, of course.

Fret not, I hardly think of myself as uninteresting.
