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.]

I assume lots of fiddly little rules to follow and suchlike?

[Not that that bothers him -- he still wishes he could know more. He'd love to be able to do magic of his own.]

[Text]

[familywizard]

Yup but they kinda seem more like guidelines half the time

[Also known as she doesn't always follow the rules]

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

I suppose "The Guidelines of Magic" doesn't sound as impressive as "The Rules of Magic" or "The Laws of Magic."

[Text]

[familywizard]

Exactly

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

I still think it's interesting, though. Maybe because the first bit of magic I ever really saw was -- well, someone sending me between the barrier of life and death.

Dude that's never a fun place to be people're either dying or so boring you wish that you were dying

[Ignore the fact that they have two different limbo-ish areas.]

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

. . . I must have skipped that area. I went to the place where everyone was walking corpses and they had more fun than any living person I'd ever known.

[familywizard]

You're so luckyyyyyyy I've never been to that area

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

I don't know if I'd call it lucky. . .but I did end up enjoying my time down there. Lots of color and fun, and everyone so welcoming. . .

The version you saw sounds a lot more like my hometown, honestly.

Re: [Text]

[familywizard]

Oh yikes that's a bunch of fun

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

Oh yes, a absolute cavalcade of thrills and chills.

[You can probably taste the sarcasm on those words.]

Still better than Whitechapel, though.

[Text]

[familywizard]

Well at least this place is interesting right?

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

Astralfield? Very interesting so far. Both the place and the people.

[Text]

[familywizard]

I'm loving it so far

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

I haven't been here long enough to say that yet. But -- I'm trying to keep an open mind.

[It hasn't been overtly horrible yet, at any rate.]

[Text]

[familywizard]

Well as long as it hasn't been a bad visit that's good right?

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

So far, yes. I guess I'll see if it's truly good as time goes on.

[Although without Alice, he doesn't think he'll ever get beyond 'this is okay' in rating the place.]

Re: [Text]

[familywizard]

Yup

[No Mason would make things difficult here as well of course]

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

Yes. . . I've probably taken up enough of your time though. Thank you for the conversation -- er, such that it was. And sharing your drawings. They really are lovely.
