So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

first off
don't worry about me freezing
i know how to handle a little cold
but second off
fire magic? seriously?
what were you planning on doing
setting me on fire if i got frostbite?

I also have a water spell, so if I do set you on fire (which is unlikely. Isn't there some wood in that place?) I could put you out.

so then i'd be sopping wet in the middle of the freezing cold
do you know how staying warm works derek
because it's not like that

Would you rather burn to death or freeze to death? Choose your poison.

But come on! Stop assuming I'm going to light you on fire!

i'd rather not do either of those
i already did both of them and they both suck

and i'm only assuming it because you said you'd light me on fire in the first place!

I never said I'd light you on fire. I just said I had fire magic.

[ This is where James (and I) both realize that there is, in fact, a distinction between those two things. ]

alright fine
but i swear to god if any part of me catches fire i'm going to snap that wand of yours in two

I won't set you on fire. I actually like you as a person. Also, not my style if I really wanted to take out a person.

[Not at he ever plans on "taking out" a person, but hey, sometimes these thoughts just happen and you think about them, you know?]

since when do you have a style for murder

Since I saw a murder scene in one of my memories and it creeped me out.

Besides, I'm a CSI, I've seen enough crime scenes and read enough cases to know how I would prefer to murder someone if the situation presented itself.

okay so let's hear it

Hear what?
