Magic Reserves, Wednesday Afternoon, Preserve Near The Cabins

There were no biscuits today at the Magic Reserve. Oh no, none to be seen. Just in case people thought that they were trying to poison them before.

Instead there were brownies. With a very tasteful sign that proclaimed them purchased from J,GoB.

It was necessary.

"Hello and welcome to the Magic Reserve," Merlin started, looking around. "Whether you're new or--um--always been here. Welcome anyway! We're part of the other two reserves that you may have already heard about. but we deal with more, er, or the less physical aspects of fighting. Precognitive dreams, floating things about with our minds, writing things in the air or healing with spells. Everyone is welcome here."

He turned toward his fellow leaders to see what they had to add because, well, he wasn't the best at getting everything important into a speech. Unless it involved Arthur.

"Oh! And I'm Merlin, by the way."

See?

"I'm Tony," Tony said. "If you're new, you might come from somewhere where magic isn't allowed or isn't believed in. Fandom's different. We don't think you're evil or crazy, I promise. That said, it's up to you how much you want to share today."

Karla stepped forward and waved. "Hi, I'm Karla; thanks, by the way, to everyone who came out and supported the bake sale. Anyway, today we've got a few things planned. First off are introductions; yeah, it gets old, but knowing who we are and what we can do is important. So, name, age, whatever you're willing to share about your powers, and then anything else you'd like you add. We're not picky."

Then she pointed over to another table. This one had nothing on it save a candle and a lighter. "For our non-introduction activity, we're going to ask you light the candle. Any way can; any way you want. So let's start!"

Arthur actually convinced himself to sample a brownie this time.

Purely for academic purposes. But he was there.

Is there supposed to be an introductions thread? :P

Raven was there, defying the forecasted emo on the radio last night.

Tara took a brownie and leaned up against a tree. She ended up sharing bits of the brownie with the hedgehog perched on her shoulder.

"I don't think chocolate is good for you," she told Kennedy-the-hedgehog softly, but she didn't seem inclined to quit feeding her. Kennedy's fault for being so cute.

"Tara Maclay," Tara said softly, then patted the hedgehog. "And this is Kennedy. She's usually a person. Um, I'm sixteen, sophomore, pretty normal witch powers, I guess? And I can see auras. Oh, and, uh, at home I call myself a Wiccan but n-no one here does, so."

After fumbling through that, she was an anticlimactic dork about the candle part of it and used the lighter. She knew a fire spell, but it required a couple of extra elements she wasn't carrying, and she wasn't sure her control on it would be precise enough to light the wick and not a nearby tree, and her paranoia about getting it wrong kicked in.

She singed her thumbnail on the lighter for her trouble.

... Best witch ever. She quickly retreated to the fringes of the group.

"I'm still Tony," Tony said. "I'm eighteen, a senior, just a wizard, nothing fancy." He called the candle to his hand, then the lighter, then used the lighter to light the candle.

Yup! Introduce yourself in the "Light the Candle" thread and then light the candle. Using your powers if you can (be creative) or just by hand. Like, Raven could... uh, empathically make someone really really want to light the candle for her? I dunno, it's way early for me. (And it's fine if she doesn't want to use her powers for it - just do it manually.)

Tony was there and very sorry about the baked goods.

Dinah nibbled a brownie and settled in, looking around for new people.

"Awwwwwwwww." Dinah couldn't help noticing the adorable. "Who's this cute little guy?" Because fate wanted Kennedy to kill her later, of course.

"Dinah Lance, I'm a senior, not magic, just telekinesis and touch-telepathy." And dreams she really didn't want to be reminded of right now, no. She zapped a lighter to her hand the way Tony did, then lit the candle.

Aha, gotcha. See, I'm in pain and I can't think. ;)

Dinah wandered over and bumped her shoulder against Tony's, saying, "So. Did you destroy new baking attempts before they got here, or were Karla and Merlin too busy to 'experiment'?"

Kurt was glad to see the sign on the brownies, and happily grabbed a few.

"It's Kennedy," Tara said, smirking slightly because, yeah, she was adorable. "She changed all of a sudden on Monday."

Kennedy would have been ever so pleased that Tara was sharing this information.

Kurt waved nervously. "I'm Kurt Wagner, I'm 16, and I don't have any magic. But I can, um..."

He looked around, still not 100% convinced it was okay. Then he shrugged and disappeared in a puff of smoke, reappearing next to the candle. It took him a few tries to work the lighter, though, and he almost dropped it in his nervousness.

Dinah's eyes widened, then she snickered before saying, "Sooooo sorry, Kennedy. Really. I mean it." She smiled at Tara and said, "Good thing you were there to see what happened. You're taking care of her 'til it wears off?"
