Magic Reserves, Wednesday Afternoon, Preserve Near The Cabins

At the reserve today there was a surplus of pies from J, GoB. So everyone could do their part in making sure no one had cursed the shop while they were away. This was a high priority, see?

"Welcome back from vacation everyone," Merlin said with a bright smile. "We hope you all had fun on your week off and are excited to be back here with us."

By 'excited' he may have meant 'not about to escape back to that camp without him'.

Karla grinned at them. Or maybe at the pies. She was grinning in their general direction and they could decide for themselves whether it was at them or the pies. "Now that we're back, it's time to really get working. Cold weather is coming in and that means we're going to have a harder time fighting off invasions. You thought fighting mutant alligators was tough? Imagine fighting them in pouring rain or hip-deep snow."

Someone might want to take Karla aside later and explain that Maryland didn't usually get hip-deep snow. On the other hand, this was Fandom.

"The best weapon in any situation is good information. Knowing exactly what we are capable of means that we can send people out into situations that we think are most capable of handling it, thereby cutting down on time, effort, and casualties. So we want to know what people can do. We've done this in limited forms before, but now we've decided to go more in depth."

Holding up his hand, Merlin let a little ball of glowy light to demonstrate some of his abilities. "Whether what you can do is offensive, defensive, or just helpful in an every day situation. Everything is welcome here."

Tony called up his scrubbing bubbles and had them clean up a piece of pie that had fallen off a plate. "Some stuff's really handy for after the battles." The bubbles started scrubbing the ground free of dirt and Tony hastily called off the spell. The bare patch of ground gave off a faint citrus scent if anyone nearby cared to notice the smell "We're going to do demos of our abilities and you guys can ask questions. Then, starting next week, we want three people each week to show off their powers until we're all familiar with each others' talents. If you want to volunteer, let us know."

[So sorry for the lateness! OCD coming.]

Dinah was there after work and classes, and yay. PIE. This really was the week for talking about abilities though, wasn't it?

Right. So Francine... would be having pie and keeping her mouth shut, because Hi, I'm Francine and I can have vague psychic episodes that might show me something useful maybe, but not on cue and I might not realize what it meant until your head is already in the minotaur's mouth lacked something as a useful contribution.

DIAF, LJ. DIAF.

... Demonstrations?

Jonothon just kind of stared. A lot. And wondered if anybody would notice if he made a quick exit now, before anyone expected him to show off.

"I--well. I'm a dues ex machina a wizard and I suppose that means I can do a lot of things. But I haven't exactly mastered most of it yet."

Or any of it.

Shut up.

"I have a book that might help people if they wanted to knew a few spells!"

Worst. Speech. Ever.

Raven was there, though she could not demonstrate her abilities using pie. Pie did not have emotions.

At least not any pie she had encountered thus far.

"I would like to see your book, if I may," Raven said. "Sorcery is not my primary skill unless I'm animated, but I have some small knowledge of it."

"Of course!" Merlin replied with a grin. "I could bring it next week perhaps?"

Since there is Homecomingholycrapsofast.

Raven smiled. "And I have a few books from my home I can bring as well."

omgiknow!!!

Oh sure, bring him nerdy wizard glee over books. "Would you like to explain your magic to the group next week maybe?"

"I will volunteer to show my gifts next week," Raven offered The Fearless Leaders. "Though I will not be able to demonstrate my ability to heal unless someone is injured, which would hopefully not be the case."
trigons_child: (Sideways half-smile)

[personal profile] trigons_child 2009-10-22 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Certainly," Raven said, inclining her head. "I can demonstrate what I can do, aside from healing, for I would not wish injury upon anyone. But you have seen what I can do."

Now, if Merlin knew more about the traditions of Homecoming, he'd mention how someone was bound to have gotten into a fistfight at the dance, so her talents would be useful there!

"And then we can compare books."

Leda had come for the usual reasons, but she was also looking for Karla. She missed her sort of almost girlfriend. And ooh! Pie!

"Pumpkin Pie! Greatest of mortal inventions." she grinned. "Along with a lot of other things they've invented. But not sliced bread. That was us."

"Hi Jonothan." Leda smiled at him. If she noticed him staring, she didn't say anything. "Do anything cool over break?"

Tara was there, and grateful she didn't have a watch. If she did, she'd be checking it every five minutes to see how soon she was meeting Kennedy.

... okay, so maybe Tara was a little nervous.

Tara raised a hand. "Uh ... have other Wiccans been able to use your spellbook? 'Cause I don't know if everyone can do magic from everyone else's world."

Re: Merlin's Talk/Questions for Merlin

"I--I think you're the only Wiccan I know," Merlin admitted.

Jonothon glanced sidelong at her, still contemplating his quick escape before anyone decided he ought to join in this demonstration thing.

//I went to Kellerman's, along with most of th'rest of th'island,// he replied, though it was slightly strained. Because, really, it would be rude to just turn on his heel and run, right?
