Charm ☼ 003 [video]

[hexywitch]

[Lily is sitting in her living room, which is spotless. She's been on a cleaning kick. Not a whole lot has been happening and she's needed something to distract herself from the fact that she's recently leaned her entire future. All four years she has left of it. She's smiling now, although it seems just a little bit forced.]

I haven't posted in awhile, so...I thought I'd check in. I'm sure there are new people here since the last time, so I suppose an introduction would be the best place to start. My name is Lily Evans. I'm a witch.

[She smile widens, and is real for a moment. She holds up her hand so that her emerald engagement ring is visible.]

And I'm engaged! To James. Obviously.

[She giggles, then covers her mouth because it was extremely girly and embarrassing.]

Anyway. I was thinking, and there aren't that many people here that I know. And the ones I do know, I haven't necessarily spent any time with. I've talked to many of you over the network, but.

So, does anyone want to do anything this coming week? I could really use the excuse to get out of the house.

[What is the appropriate thing to say to someone who's engaged?

I'm sorry? No. Not good. She's happy about it.]

...Congratulations, I suppose.

Thank you, Mr. Holmes.

What have you been up to since we last spoke?

[video]

[threepatchman.livejournal.com]

Nothing at all.

I'm so bored.

[video]

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

Bored is much better than the alternative, I assure you. This past month has been insane.

Perhaps we should do something, though. To alleviate your boredom. What do you like to do for fun?

[video]

[threepatchman.livejournal.com]

Normally, I would do something fun, like investigate a good murder, or track down a nice serial killer.

John has assured me that that isn't normal, however.

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

And unfortunately for you, the murder rate in Vatheon is extremely low. Especially considering that a serial killer's victim would just come back a week later and be able to solve the crime himself.

Isn't there anything else you enjoy?

[nightknighted.livejournal.com]

Congrats, Lily~

Maybe we should go to the movies sometime, or the park. I hear they're both lovely places to go~

[video]

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Johnny.

I would like that. The park is quite beautiful. All the films here are strange, though. There are fish in nearly all of them.

[video]

[nightknighted.livejournal.com]

That's true, they are fairly bizarre, aren't they? Well, then, maybe just a walk around the park. Just because.

[video]

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

I don't often watch films anyway. A walk around the park would be perfect. Are you free right now?

[video]

[nightknighted.livejournal.com]

Right now? As a matter of fact, I am; though, I warn you, I'm a little slower today than usual. I've been feeling....off.

[video]

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

Off how? Would you rather do something that involves less physical activity? I could make us a picnic?

[got-it-memorizd.livejournal.com]

Engaged? [A whistle, and he makes a little sparkler flicker on the tip of his finger.] Congrats~

I'd still like to see some of your world's magic, if you're up for a demonstration. [A grin.] Sirius already showed me how he can make a motorcycle fly... That was different. But you know what they say, right? She me yours and I'll show you mine? [He douses the sparkler on his finger tip and arches an eyebrow in something like playful challenge.]

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

Yes. A bit early, really. We were supposed to wait another year or so.

That sounds perfect! Would you like to come over? We've got a large yard and it's warded so that we won't disturb any neighbors or anything.

[got-it-memorizd.livejournal.com]

[Something not unlike compunction washes briefly across his face, but it's gone before it really fully manifests, and he waves a hand.] Hey, you never know how long you've got, and this place is no exception, right? So if there's something you've gotta to, don't wait: do it--one of life's little rules. Got it memorized?

[And then he rubs his chin, tapping a finger against his lower lip.]

Sure, sounds like a plan. [He gives her a curious look then.] Whaddya mean 'warded', though?

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

[Her smile fades.] Sometimes you do know how long you've got.

[She clears her throat, attempting to smile again.]

There are magical barriers in place around our property. We put them up when those fish monsters were attacking, but they do well to repel anything we don't want nearby. There are also wards in place so that no matter what happens in the house, the neighbors can't hear it.

[got-it-memorizd.livejournal.com]

[He stares a moment. So the neighbors can't... We-he-hell~ is that how it is? Rock on, Lily Evans, you go girl.]

[got-it-memorizd.livejournal.com]

Now that sounds like a handy trick if I ever heard of one.

Well, when are you free? I've got nothing on my plate at the moment, so I'm available for this cultural exchange whenever.

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

[Haha she meant more werewolves in the basement, but that too!]

[She glances around the house, inviting him to notice that she's alone and everything is insanely tidy.]

I'm free right now, if you are.

Congratulations, Lily.

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Amane.

I haven't spoken to you in quite awhile. How have you settled in here?

[Video]

[twiceinhabited]

I'm doing fine. I was offered a place to stay at a dorm a long while ago.

[Video]

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you settled in all right. What have you been up to?

[Video]

[twiceinhabited]

Not that many things. I hope to be kept busy, one way or another.

[Video]

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling this place will always give us something to keep us busy.
