Video - Seelie/Unseelie

[teenyoda]

[He might have thought to lock it if he hadn't been so excited with his news.]

Oh my god! Okay, okay. So maybe this place isn't so bad. I got magic. That's apparently my gifty boon thing for getting my ass handed to me by the invading hoard.

[He pauses, blinking and grinning down at the locket.]

I'm actually living a video game now. I feel like I just leveled up. Now all I need's a familiar. But look. Look!

[He waves around a staff, then points the locket at the books that had arrived with the staff, symbols emblazoned on them and looking exactly like what they were; spell books.]

Dude, I'm a freaking magician. Wizard? Sorcerer? I don't really know yet, but I can do stuff. See?

[He'd already poured through part of a book and had memorized one incantation. He repeated it, the tip of his staff glowing before the comforter on his bed caught fire.]

Oh... uh, no. No, shit. No, wait I didn't, hey! Hey! Stop. Finito! FLAME OFF! FLAME! OFF!

[He drops the locket and the staff and goes to pull the comforter off to toss in the fireplace. Have fun watching that debacle.]

[He's giving the locket and the voice coming from it such a stink eye right now.]

Since you're in the mood to get me stuff, how about a fire extinguisher and some McDonald's?

[liugan]

[ yes good give him your frustrations and hate it is delicious ]

Oh, I think it best you deal with the consequences of your idiocy yourself. The second rule of sorcery, after all, is to use it wisely and responsibly.

[teenyoda]

[Does your dark side come with cookies?]

Hey, in case you haven't clued in, this is like, brand new to me. There's no heebie jeebie magic where I come from and we don't all go around having wizard's duels and stuff. A guy's gotta practice.

[liugan]

[ cheesecake ]

All the more reason for you to stop for a moment and think, before waving your stick around like a maniac? Or perhaps I am expecting too much from a novice.

[teenyoda]

[Curse you and your tempting evil desserts]

I thought I was directing it into the fireplace. It's not like the staff came with a freakin' instruction manual. 'Hold at a forty-five degree angle when talking out of your ass'.

[liugan]

[ why else do you think anyone goes to the dark side in the first place? ]

While it is highly entertaining for the rest of us, I'd suggest taking this as a learning opportunity. Choose a better location for practice. And you will need lots of it, I can tell.

[teenyoda]

[So what you're saying is that cheesecake was invented by Satan.]

Well, yeah, for practice, but I was just...

[Showing off]

Never mind. Whatever. Okay, yeah. Not in the castle. I got it.

[liugan]

[ forever on the hips, man ]

Congratulations, you're learning already.

Find yourself a suitable teacher. Clearly you're not the type to be self taught.

[teenyoda]

... I don't really know of any ma-- oh, wait. I know one. I don't know if she knows the same kind of magic stuff, though. She says she uses a wand.

[liugan]

Not all magic requires a shiny stick. I'm sure someone out there will be foolish enough to take you on as an apprentice.

[teenyoda]

But would that even work? I mean... different laws of magic and all...

[liugan]

Perhaps you should go find that out.

[teenyoda]

... I'm going to.

[Maybe. Eventually. He was making plans, jeez, buddy. Pushy much?]

[liugan]

Before or after you burn the castle down?

[teenyoda]

I'm not going to burn the castle down.

God.

[liugan]

Prove me wrong, then.

[teenyoda]

In case you haven't noticed, the castle's still standing, hence I'm not burning it down.

And who exactly are you that I need to prove anything to? Huh?

[liugan]

I'm a sorcerer.

[teenyoda]

Really.

And that means what, exactly? Because if my thingy thing is right here, it's telling me you're aaaaaaaaall the way over in the Unseelie side of things. Which makes me wonder why impressing you should be on my schedule?

[liugan]

When was it that I gave you the impression that I wanted you to impress me? I offered advice anyone with a fraction of common sense would, and admitted freely that I find your foolish antics entertaining. As one should expect from the opposite court, no?

[teenyoda]

Prove me wrong, impress you, same thing. Basically, you want me to do something for you because... why?

For the record, my foolish antics are always entertaining.

[=| Rude, Loki.]

[liugan]

I believe you answered your question yourself.

[ taking joy in the distress of others awwwyeah. ]

[teenyoda]

... Wha-- at? You're bre--ing up. KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK I think I'm --ing through a tunn--

[Stiles, so very suave about ending calls.]

[liugan]

[ yeah, yeah, hint taken. Loki will just be laughing amusingly to himself as the feed ends. he might be keeping an eye on this one; seems like an entertaining idiot. ]
