Charm ☼ 004 [video]

[hexywitch]

[Lily's set herself up in the library in her house. There's a cauldron in front of her, a small flame flickering beneath it. She stirs the pot three times clockwise, and then four counterclockwise.]

Hello, Vatheon. There are quite a few new people floating about again, so I thought this was a perfect time to post. I'm Lily. As you can see I've been doing a bit of potion brewing. I finally made it down to the Nostalgia Nook, and the shop from my world is absolutely brilliant.

[She pauses to check her potions book and adds an ingredient, tapping the cauldron twice with her wand. Potions is very complicated and delicate.]

I stocked up on ingredients, so after I brewed a few potions for friends of mine, I thought I'd brew a few other useful ones. First of all a big batch of Pepper-Up. [She gestures to the cauldron.] That'll be a cure for the common cold. And hangovers. So if anyone's feeling a bit under the weather, let me know.

That said, [She turns the heat under the cauldron down.] Equius. Sollux. I'm ready when you are.

It wasn't pleasant.

What makes a witch?

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

Well. A witch is a girl who can do magic. Blokes are wizards.

[singsforsouls.livejournal.com]

That's a broad definition.

[ Would that make him a wizard? That is a strange thought. ]

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

That's the only definition needed where I come from. I suppose it does imply that one has studied magic as well, but I don't think that it's required to hold the title, as I've been a witch since I was born.

You have schools for magic?

[ It is slowly sinking in how very different the lives of the people who were brought here could be. ]

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

Yes. Before I arrived here I was about to start my seventh and final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

[singsforsouls.livejournal.com]

...oh.

[ ... ]

We don't have schools like that where I come from.

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

Even where I come from most people aren't aware that the school exists. Or that magic is even real.

[singsforsouls.livejournal.com]

I didn't know it existed in my own until recently.

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

Can you do magic, then?

[singsforsouls.livejournal.com]

Of a sort. Have you heard of the power of Persona?

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

Someone mentioned Personas to me here once. I don't know much abour them, but...you can only use them at night and they're for battle, yes?

[singsforsouls.livejournal.com]

Only at night? They are for battle, but I can use mine at any time.

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

Then the rules must be different for you. The person I talked to definitely said they could only use their personas at night.

[singsforsouls.livejournal.com]

...how strange. Perhaps we are talking of different abilities.

[hexywitch.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I only know what he told me. But it was a Persona, I'm sure of it.

[singsforsouls.livejournal.com]

I know there are a few others here, so I could be wrong. It's interesting to think about.
