1 - Have I made you desperate?

[He takes his time before introducing himself, establishing the purpose of this place, the fact that his magic definitely was depleted and not coming back by any means known to him, and weighing up the odds of his escaping by the usual means, before deigning to make his first journal entry. He has taken off his ridiculous supervillain hat, for effect:]

My my, is this not an ambitious effort? Certainly, a more elaborate one than the last chamber in which I was imprisoned. To whose hospitality do I owe my gratitude, may I ask? Which one-eyed wolf has clamped these strange jaws around my throat?

[He smiles, but it's unconvincing. His eyes look strangely pained.]

Or perhaps I expect too much in assuming this a prison, rather than an arsenal of purloined weapons, or a vault to hold the spoils of war?

[A slight pause, before he decides he's giving away far too much, and clicks the communicator off.]

Obviously I'm not uncontainable. I've been contained, haven't I?

I am merely difficult to contain. I am quite clever, you know, and I nearly killed a goddess, once, so there aren't many who can hold me against my will. Of course, it's far easier when the god who holds me keeps out of sight and places me on a ship in the middle of space with my powers bound.

Not clever enough then, it would seem. And object though I might at being caught in it, I don't question the effectiveness of the cage.

[hourglass_twin]

Perhaps not, but I see that you landed yourself in the same position as me, so you weren't quite clever enough yourself.

It is a very effective cage.
