newbie alert!

[kingsroads]

Hullooooo! My name is Kates and I'm a newbie here at the game! I'm bringing in a different 1800s British magician: Jonathan Strange from the BBC series Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell (there's also a book! The book is also good but literally 800 pages.) Strange is generally a pretty good guy, even if he does have a worrying tendency to think he's hot shit, is super impatient & impulsive, is WAY TOO DEAD SET on summoning a fairy, and is perfectly willing to fudge the lines of respectability should the situation call for it.

Uuuuuuunfortunately, he's coming right from a canon point where A: he has deliberately driven himself mad and B: nobody's told him about the fact that making deals with fairies'll mess you up. So sorry Carnival, you'll have to deal with an erratic, distracted, slightly asshole magician until the madness wears off. Shove him off on Childermass, he'll be useful at dealing with Strange's nonsense (maybe/hopefully/until he gives up and shoves Strange to the metaphorical wolves)

He's a newbie at the carnival and he'll be working as a magician (this'll be fun! his magic is naturally showy to begin with!) as well as a mercenary (this is not fun, war & fighting really sucks). And I'd like to kindly direct everybody's attention to Strange's permissions post because he's a bit ridiculous when it comes to the magic he knows, and while a lot of it doesn't really affect people, some of it like magical creeping and magical summoning totally would. I'm super pumped to be in the game and can't wait to thread with all y'all!

EDIT because I totally forgot to put in my contact information, I'm great at rp. find me at plurk at allikateor or discord at Kates#4814

absolutely do not shove him off on Childermass, he will never forgive you if you do

[kingsroads]

aw buddy why're you like this.

it's almost like you don't want to deal with a bonkers magician or something like that. c:

[atouts]

just try not to set the whole place on fire

[kingsroads]

so he can set half the place on fire, gotcha, glad they're on the same page.

it's really a pity that I can't find any gifs of the many times Strange is like "me & my crazy eyes are really happy about this" otherwise I'd link one of those in response.

[atouts]

this is the closest to that i can find, so it'll have to do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[kingsroads]

yelling at Italians is close enough. /SHRUGS

I watched the first portion of this series but then I had to go to bed because i was expecting it to be movie length but it was much longer. IT WAS INTERESTING THOUGH.

I'm Quix and I play Steven here, and Sans the Skeleton, who is the local Warden AKA sheriff of the carnival. Steven is a performer too, and is actually specializing as being a stage assistant, and needs more performers to team up with. Does your guy want a small assistant on stage?

[kingsroads]

well in my obviously completely unbiased opinion, it's a pretty good show. ;) And still on American Netflix if you want to ever catch up!

And aw man heck yeah he will take small assistant. I know a little bit about Steven Universe, so I am 100% pumped for this! Just...sorry Steven that Strange isn't gonna be in the best of mental states to start off, I promise he'll get better

[starseedling]

IT'S OKAY, honestly Steven is pretty used to people who are like, wildly mentally unstable? Everyone he knows is pretty much a trauma baby.

On the bright side, Steven is very durable for his size and shape. He can get thrown though a stone wall and be basically ok. As long as you don't crack his gem, anyway.

Perfect for working with magic! Also, he's very cute.

[kingsroads]

Let's give it up for trauma! (said no one ever....)

AND AWESOME, they'll come up with the best/possibly the most dangerous magic show there is. :D

Hello, Kates! It's nice to meet you!

I'm Fearless and I play Sora from Kingdom Hearts, who is super sweet and wants to be friends with everyone including your mad magician, so that's a thing.

[kingsroads]

Let's make friends with ALL the small children. Pleasure to meet you, Fearless!
