Victoria, an out of work couch-surfer currently living on her brother-in-law's couch, passes time recording the history of her strange world recently warped by magic. Niether she nor her brother are particularly intelligent or focused and regularly go off topic with their own arguments and petty disagreements.
Alright, look. Any of you listening ever read a
fantasy book? Like, one where there's this secret magical community
having all these cool adventures and at some point there's a subplot
where their community is gonna be exposed by the heroes stop it just in
time to deal with the real villain with the sexy eyes and beautiful
accent.And when five football players have their asses
handed to them by a 130 pound eighteen year old girl, pride starts to
get hurt, questions start to be asked. Physical laborers start to
wonder if magicians will be chosen to do their work over them, it comes
out that some magicians sacrifice their magic to increase physical or
mental attributes. Now you've got doctors, lawyers, politicians running
scared that there might be people who've turned themselves into
geniuses to get ahead.VICTORIA
All I'm saying is you could use a splash of colour, it wouldn't kill you.
SYLAS
How can you be so sure!? Maybe there's a serial killer out there who only targets people who dress in colourful clothing!
VICTORIA
That's ridiculous.
SYLAS
Is it?
Sylas is a recent divorce whose ex-wife's older sister now couch surfs in his house. He has a job still working for his ex-wife and passes his time at home sitting in on Victoria's Anthem Logs mostly causing trouble, distracting her and occasionally adding valuable input.
Well, for the first few years they did. Mortals had
numbers, sure, but magicians had freaking magic. Plus it was easy to
identify a magicians if you were another magician. They sensed the
magic in each other. They knew what targets to strike and could slip
back into the crowd.SYLAS
Anyway, turns out whatever heroes we had in real life
really sucked at their jobs cause that secret magical communitywas
exposed, and everything basically went to shit.
VICTORIA
Yeah, it started with confusion when all of these magicians,-
sylas
-Not the kind who pull rabbits out of hats-
VICTORIA
-started going crazy in a football stadium-
SYLAS
-Now that I think about it at least one of them had to have been the kind that pulls rabbits out of hats-
VICTORIA
-they were using all kinds of magic, losing their minds and of course the cameras picked all of it up.-
SYLAS
-From a statistical standpoint I'm willing to bet at least ONE of them was a stage magician-
VICTORIA
Oh my god will you stop!?
