[A mass of robes appears on the Plane. At first it seems just that— a pile of clothes— but then there are frustrated noises, movements beneath the robes, and a head pops up. The little wizard rights himself and stands up to his full height, which... isn’t that impressive, especially with such voluminous clothes. He looks regal, at least, if not a bit young. Icy discerning eyes take in the surroundings. He smacks his staff once on the starry ground.]

Incredible. This is...

[Now he walks around, marveling at the galaxies whirling around him.]

This is certainly not Cephiro, nor any land I’ve ever visited. It’s almost like I’ve entered a higher state of awareness. But there’s a strange disconnect— No, no, that’s not right. Something isn’t right. I wonder what it could be...

It’s so familiar, and yet I can’t quite place it.

[He inspects a salt shaker like it’s some kind of historical artifact, sniffs it, then sneezes.] ... It’s pepper. [He sets it back down.] While all of this is very intriguing, I do have an appointment to get back to. Tea with a neighboring country. Now where is the way out...?

Indeed! Though, a very old Earth. It's been nearly 2,300 years since my death, for example! In the modern world, my kingdom no longer exists, but my legacy still remains, at least.

Not many can claim such a fortune, though I must say, Earth history is quite... unusual. Two thousand years is barely two generations in Cephiro.

I don't suppose you could tell me what this "cheeseburger" thing is that one of my charges keeps asking for.

Oh, then are you an old man? You look to be no more than a boy!

Hmm, but I'm afraid not. I would guess you would have better luck with others here!

[...] For your information, I am 746 years old. [Because he's post-canon, right.]

Earth terms are so strange.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

And I am more than 2300! But this is not a contest of age. I merely comment on your appearance.

[notsomechild.livejournal.com]

People in Cephiro can maintain whatever appearance they wish. I could look older if I wanted, but I do not believe it is necessary for my office.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

Hm, and what kind of office would that be?

Besides being the Mastermage, I advise the Prince on political matters and handle some of the work myself, particularly when he is out.
