You're actually only the fourth request. The rest is minificlets and chatter. ;) And I would be honored to be friended; I'll issue a cordial warning that our politics don't mesh well, but I'm used to that on my friendlist and it's not one of my more frequent topics.
Magneto, huh? *pokes at neglected X-bunnies*
Okay, got it. I'm afraid it's a little strange, as I was seized by the impulse to try a crossover.

"You may wish to be alert, my Master. I've recently had a most peculiar guest, and I believe him to be on his way toward the Galactic Core."
"Peculiar in what way?" Darth Sidious eyed his apprentice sourly. "Are you trying to take up suborning Jedi yourself?"
Dooku bowed his head. "As it happens, I don't believe him to be Force-sensitive at all. Which only makes it all the more curious that he appears to be capable of manipulating both metal and energy fields at a distance."
"Lightsaber blades?"
"There was no convenient occasion for a test." Dooku looked the hologram in the eye. "That is not, however, the strangest thing about him. He asked me whether the war had started yet."
Silence.
"Have you an explanation for this?" Sidious asked at last.
"I have been trying to formulate one that is more reasonable than his claim to be from another universe where we are fictional characters."
"Interesting. Well, I shall look forward to his arrival." Sidious looked off to the side. "A further question."
"Yes, my Master?"
"What is that thing on your desk?"
Dooku looked down. The man calling himself Magneto was enough of a challenge to explain, but fairly urgent; he had really hoped to avoid discussing his second unusual visitor. "I believe it's intended to be a depiction of an infant Gamorrean," he said truthfully, "although not a very accurate one."
He also clamped down on it carefully in the Force so that the creature of fabric and fluff would not announce to the Sith Master, with as much courage as it could muster, that its name was P-p-p-piglet.
