[Video ~ Introduction]

[sebastian_verlac]

[There's a disarmingly handsome face on the network, peering at the screen with mild but open interest. He looks as if he may have just stepped out of an old fashioned literary romance novel but his tone sounds more relaxed than some brooding romantic hero's should be.]

Mirror, mirror. What is it that you are showing me?

Other dimensions?

Hello? Can anyone hear me?

[sebastian_verlac]

There's nothing wrong with being old if one is also wise.

Or so I have been told.

[cleanestwitch]

Certainly not. Old age suits me very well in fact. I simply have little need for a mirror.

[sebastian_verlac]

So you have a book. I'm sorry to interrupt your cleaning but do you have a name? I'm Sebastian.

[cleanestwitch]

It would be rather silly of me not to have a name.

Sophie. Or Old Sophie if you wish.

[sebastian_verlac]

Old Sophie? That sounds a bit impolite.

[cleanestwitch]

I don't mind it. As I said, it suits me.

[sebastian_verlac]

I think I will just go with Sophie.

[cleanestwitch]

That is certainly acceptable.

Are you new to the community, then?

[sebastian_verlac]

Apparently. I mean, it is strange to think of an entire community being in a mirror. Or a book.

Although a book may be more appropriate.

But, yes, I haven not seen this happen before.

[cleanestwitch]

I can assure you that everything about the community is strange.

[sebastian_verlac]

Like what?

[cleanestwitch]

It connects many different worlds and times.

[sebastian_verlac]

What world are you from?

[cleanestwitch]

A land called Ingary. And yourself?

[sebastian_verlac]

[There's the briefest of pauses before he smiles and says.]

Paris, France.

[cleanestwitch]

Ah. I'm afraid I have not heard of it.

[sebastian_verlac]

It is a beautiful city. I was brought up there.

[cleanestwitch]

And is there magic in this city of yours?

[sebastian_verlac]

Magic? I'd say so but what do you know about magic yourself?

[cleanestwitch]

I consider the community to be magic, though others here might disagree.

Other than that there are many witches and wizards in Ingary.

[sebastian_verlac]

They are like warlocks, aren't they?

[cleanestwitch]

I'm afraid I am not familiar with the term.

[sebastian_verlac]

Beings that can perform spells and things like that.

[cleanestwitch]

In that case then yes. They are similar.

[sebastian_verlac]

Are there people there that try to keep them under control?
