“Welcome to the team, Agent the Markgician, it’s good to have you on board.” You offer to handshake but you can’t actually move, so it doesn’t look like you did anything at all.
“It’s great to be part of this operation, Agent Phil Noon.” The Markgician raises his thumb. “Allow me to reintroduce myself, I’m Mark the Markgician. I’m a magician by trade, and an escapist by hobby. I was promised to be told how to wipe my criminal record, so I can be a free man without the help of my aunt.”
“Let’s get this team briefing underway. How are things looking?” If only you could use your iconic gavel to start the session, but alas.
“All preliminary preparations are done.” Scarlet throws away the notepad to use her phone where the actual information is. “We have determined our objectives’ locations, the possible threats, and the escape route.”
“We were stuck on the latter until Agent the Markgician joined our ranks yesterday!” Liu wants to give credit where credit is due.
“He showed up yesterday, said you invited him, and didn’t say jack about who he is or why he is here, then helped map out the entire escape route like a consummate professional. Despite, you know, looking the way he is!!! What’s up with the fake mustache?!” Vera is still annoyed about this. You have no idea how he found this place.
“I was waiting to be introduced officially to everyone in the group before indulging in my lore. But now let the show begin, allow me to give my long-winded exposition...” Mark vows.
“Too late, we don’t care. We found who you are online, and you’re an asshat.” Vera cuts him off.
“I-I actually watched the trial… I didn’t have to look it up…” Liu adds.
“I preferred when you stayed silent.” Suan De tells to Mark.
“D-Don’t be so harsh, you’re hurting his feelings.” Liu feels bad for the masked man.
“I-It’s all right, I’m used to criticism...” The Markgician is on the verge of tears.
“Seriously, you two Debbie downers, we have to foster good vibes if we want to succeed!” Scarlet doesn’t like the attitude of the Downer Duo.
“Bubbles’ right. Let’s focus on what’s important.” You try to direct the group to the matter at hand.
“Moo!” The Buffalo eloquently says. You all nod in response, tension dropping.
