Quotes by

"I understand your distress ma'am, if you could just look at me for a moment, I'm sure we can sort this out"

- Smith, to a sleeper exposed to vulgar magic.

"pfft, so you're telling me these two guys came flying out the shop window, hurling, what did you say... 'purple fire balls' at each other? So you're telling my they had fireworks?, Two idots probably saw too much jackass and, predictably, almost burnt down a shopfront. Now, I wasn't there, but that sounds more plausible, right? "

- Smith, cleaning up after a Seer incursion.

"Swamp gas."

-Smith.

Quotes about

"Who?"

"Oh, well, I guess he was about... average height, sort dark brownish/blonde hair. Uhm... he was wearing a suit. ..I think."

"Smith's not so bad when you get to know him. He just wants to protect what's important to him - and that's all of us. Sure, he gets a little twisted up in it sometimes, but that's why man invented alcohol. Don't ask me about him - go find out for yourself, and buy the man a drink. You owe him one. We all do."

- Sunshine, helpfully pushing a tenner across the table.

"Now, Smith may be cold, corporate and probably a lizard person, but..."

"Yeah?"

"..."

"...but what?"

"I...forgot where I was going with this."

- Sash, to Ricochet.

Rumors

• "I. P. Smith" is actually a cabal of mages, all using mind and life magic to remain interchangeable.
  • There's at least one cabal in every major city, maintaining the veil in the face of Atlantean and Seer carelessness.

• Can be easily convinced to... ...bend his rigid views in exchange for a bacon and egg roll, with diced spring onions and HP sauce.
  • Do NOT try to palm bbq sauce off on him, that shit will NOT fly.

• Smith only became so adamant about maintaining the veil after a mishap in his youth left a dozen sleepers unable to tie their own shoelaces.

• One brash young member of the Silver Ladder once spent a month thinking he was a five year old girl from Kansas after refusing to heed his warnings about the misuse of vulgar magic.

• Has an on-again, off-again thing with Sunshine.
  • Calling it "on-again, off-again" implies way too much structure.

• Ever notice how he never takes off those glasses?
