A new year ought to be full of new possibilities. Instead, the City had taken exactly the same problems as it had gone through last year into this new one. It was depressing, seeing all the damage here. It felt like it hadn't been that long since the streets had looked like this before. After all, it was only a couple of months since then.

The damage was, quite honestly, on a scale that was much too big for her. But she had her wand out, and she was trying to fix pieces of damage that she came across. Broken windows, and areas of cracked pavement could be fixed with a Reparo spell, and she was using Scourgify where she could as well. It still didn't feel like enough, and she'd been at it for hours. Deciding to take a break, she walked out of the backstreets and out into the open. That's when she saw a familiar face moving around. She wouldn't mind a distraction, so she went over to him.

"Hi, Percy." She smiled. "I wasn't expecting to see anyone else around here. You didn't get caught up in all that damage, did you?"

Ginny's voice was an entirely familiar and welcome one, and the grin came automatically when Percy heard it. "Ginny, hey," he said. He looked around as she spoke, still taking in all the chaos that had happened. "Pft, me, caught up in chaos? What kind of monster magnet do you think I am?" he laguhed.

He looked down at the wand, then around again, frowning slightly. Outt in the open area, there was no evidence of anything having been done, but Ginny was magic, right? "Wait, do you know like ... street fixing spells or something?"

She raised an eyebrow at that first question. Did she think Percy Jackson was a magnet for monsters? Well, given what she knew of him...

Yes. That was a fair assumption, yes. It never seemed to bother him, though. He was just always able to laugh it off, which cheered her up a bit. Most people got depressed by that sort of thing. Not Percy.

Her smile faded at the question, and she shrugged a bit.

"There's a lot of damage." Understatement. "I know spells for repairing, for fixing things, for cleaning things...it helps, a bit. But there's too much, I can't fix all this. Not strong enough." She looked up at him. "Why do you ask, did something of yours get broken?"

Monster magent is a good way to describe Percy, and he's aware enough of the fact that he catches himself checking out all exit points in a place. He never really thought he'd be that guy, but he guesses some things just tend to stick after they've been drilled into you. Not literally though, that would hurt.

"Something of mine? No," Percy assured her, before looking around again. "Just a spark of a thought, they don't usually last long." Though, he wonders, and occasionally some of those wonders stick. "So, like, if a bunch of you were to try one of those repairings spells at once... would that be strong enough?"

Ginny was feeling somewhat conscious of her wand, so she slipped it into a pocket. It was always strange, discussing magic so openly like this. Particularly when she had to explain things about it. She was used to being the one asking questions.

"Maybe," she said, sounding doubtful. "Possibly some of them would know spells that I don't. But there's lots of people who'll pitch in with this. I don't know how our magic would affect any of them...or any of the...sciencey equipment that's around the place." But now she looks down. "Maybe there's more we could be doing. I never really thought of that."
