Yesterday we were finally introduced to the new spokesperson. It is the Magician. I never would have guessed it, as he hasn’t stood out in any way so far. He kept a very low profile. Indeed, I have never heard his voice before. But obviously he was in the right place at the right time. As I understand it, the Dedes have been dissatisfied with Devil’s performance for a while. (Personally I think it all started when Devil resigned last year to prove a point, but then he took his job back when everybody begged him to continue. But that is a different story.) So back to the Magician. He obviously had asked the Dede committee every so often if he could be of service, but they said they were happy with the Devil they know… Then, recently, two self-appointed advisors, I think they call themselves the woodheads, showed up and told the committee that they are going nowhere fast with the Devil. They painted a very bleak picture for the future of the Dedes if they didn’t get a new spokesperson. They pointed out the Devil has his own agenda, and rubs people up the wrong way to boot. The Dedes thought about it and had to agree. But what to do? Luckily the woodheads had a solution: the Dedes simply need a magician, and then they conjured him up. What could the Dedes do, except to say: yes, you guys are so right! And here we are.

Such sweet hands for so complex a face!

Oh, with the Dedes its all in the head :)
You watch him; he has the air of a country bumpkin but he has a calculating eye. I think he may well shake things up a bit around here. Tony
Exactly my thoughts :), he looks very laid back, but he could be a schemer! At least with the Devil we knew he is a cranky old chum.
Still unsure what qualifies Magician for the post? His subtle campaign for the job may conceal other motives?
Personally, I think he put the woodheads onto the Dede committee to stir them up a bit. But at this stage it is only an inkling.
