+1 Urban Sorcerer

Hello! Blue here, aka Istas-mun, bringing in a second character: Matthew Swift from Kate Griffin's Matthew Swift / Magicals Anonymous novels. He's an urban sorcerer whose magic is essentially derived from the environment, which in practical terms means that he has awesome overpowered magical abilities in a city, but is largely useless in a forest. (He is going to find jaunts so much fun...)

Also very important to note is that Matthew is also kind of semi-possessed / mind melded with the Blue Electric Angels, aka the spirits of the telephone wire. The most obvious consequence of this is his tendency to switch between using singular and plural pronouns for himself, sometimes even mid-sentence. In short: he's a bit weird, really.

Well, unless Hajime has a way to divine such things, he might not necessarily know about the telephonic semi-possession. As Matthew's the kind of character who generally feels little need to actually explain what the hell is going on with him to anyone. In fact he tends to actively avoid it.

...Which, to be fair, might not lessen the weirded-outness. Since he's still a guy who sometimes refers to himself as "we" with no explanation whatsoever XD

That is great. XD Zed definitely won't be bothered, and Hajime so will. Pronoun shifting: it's confusing!

Gloriously confusing, yes XD (You should see the books. They're written in first person. From Matthew's point of view.)
