oo2 ;; Accidental text ;; Alex likes to draw, m'kay?

[familywizard]

[Alex was doing a chalk doodle mostly because of boredom. The drawing just so happened to be of New York above and below as she had drawn what felt like years ago. She didn't know why she wanted to draw it, it just happened to be on her mind. Something from back home. Something that she truly was proud of, after all. She sent it to the network and huffed before sending a message shortly after]

Sorry about that also oh my god this is so cool!

[Except she totally wasn't and it totally was cool. Her first text to the network. In her own handwriting. Oh my god. It was beautiful.]

[See what you've done, Victor? She's now thinking of her puppy back home. :|]

Yeah I know how that is Mason's not here and he's so important to me

[A few minutes later she sends a follow up message]

I kinda hope he shows up soon to be honest

[Text] FEEELS

[forgotten_vows]

Much as I think being pulled to another world wouldn't exactly be good for her after all she's been through. . .I can't help but feel the same.

Is Mason the young man whose picture you posted before?

[Text]

[familywizard]

Yeah that's him he's like a big puppy even down to typical weak spots too

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

[Awww.]

I see. I really hope you get the chance to see him again. Nobody should be separated from those they love.

[Text]

[familywizard]

I hope so too and before something bad happens would be great too... Bad stuff seems to follow me... After I cause it

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

[Okay, that gets a snort of laughter out of him.]

I know how that feels. Bad things like to follow me around too. Largely because I'm clumsy and don't always think before I speak.

[familywizard]

You know that's a lot like me I act first think when it's time to fix it [Followed by a cute little smiley face <3]

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

Heh, yes, it can be the same with me. Bad habit, but I'm working on it.

[Text]

[familywizard]

There's only so much you can do to work on something like that though

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

I suppose. But I should at least make an effort. Better than eternally upsetting everyone around me, right?

[Text]

[familywizard]

[Stahp it, Victor you're making her think back on everything]

Yeah that's true but still hard since it's part of who you are

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

Yes, true. And I wouldn't want to give up who I am.

[He's been down that road before. He doesn't like it.]

Re: [Text]

[familywizard]

No one wants to even if they have to

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

No one should have to -- well, unless they're a real madman who enjoys destroying the lives of others. But if you're not hurting anyone, you should be allowed to be yourself.

Re: [Text]

[familywizard]

[She winces a bit because her being herself HAS hurt people in some way or form before]

Exactly

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

[Sorry Alex -- Victor doesn't know he's bringing up painful stuff.]

Yes, exactly. My parents tried to make me into someone I'm not, and that didn't work out at all.

[Text]

[familywizard]

Meanwhile my parents would rather party for my brother who just got a good deal because the headmaster at our old school is getting old

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

Oh -- sorry to hear that. I'm an only child myself, if I haven't mentioned. Still, I often felt like I was being held up against some "ideal" child and constantly being found wanting.

[Text]

[familywizard]

Yeah I got used to it after a while so its just annoying now more than anything

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

It is, isn't it? Always trying hard to be a good son for them. . . Of course, these days, we're not on the best of terms, so I don't have to worry abut that anymore.

Re: [Text]

[familywizard]

I do all these cool things like save the world or something and they don't appreciate me nearly as much as they should

[Alex, bby, that's because you tend to be the cause of the damage in the first place]

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

[Wait. Back up a minute there.]

Save the world??

[Text]

[familywizard]

Long story short I'm a wizard made a few messes cleaned them up and thensome all hail me I'm awesome

[That is Alex summing up her life pattern]

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

You're a wizard. That's -- well. That's amazing. The only other one I've known was a rather ancient skeleton.

[Literally.]

Do you do any special sort of magic? Or are you what they call a 'jack of all trades?'

[Text]

[familywizard]

I do whatever I want because I'm my familys wizard Justins a full one too because he wound up being heeadmaster of our school so I guess jack of all trades?
