The Preserve, Wednesday Afternoon

[glacial_witch]

There were things one might consider to be cookies at the reserve today. Might, if one had an iron stomach or an entire bottle of Tums handy to deal with them after managing to choke one down.

Merlin was faaar too chipper about them, though. Because he baked something. With Karla, but they managed it somehow

Arrive and Mingle

[glacial_witch]

Warily eye the...lumps...that Karla and Merlin swear are cookies. They haven't moved or anything, so that's a good sign, yes?

The handwavycommotion around the second floor kitchen makes so much more sense today, doesn't it?

If Priestly is around there may be tasty sandwiches available for eating, as well as various kinds of teas and coffees.

As she had promised Merlin, Raven had brought some tea. It was a blend of peppermint, licorice root, fennel seed, ginger, cardamon, and coriander that was designed to sooth the stomach. It was quite likely going to be needed.

"Are they good?" Karla asked merrily, skipping over to Alex. "We couldn't try them because we wanted to have enough for the Reserves. But there's probably enough if you want to have another."

Even though it was a hot summer day, even the flies were avoiding the plate of cookies. There would be plenty for Alex to have all the cookies she wanted.

Brainstorm Ideas

[glacial_witch]

What ways can you communicate magically? Offer ideas and suggestions, try to teach others, keep staring in horrified fascination at the cookies.

"I am able to do a form of astral projection," Raven said quietly. "I can send my Soul-Self away from my body, even if I have been confined. I have only a limited time I can be separated from my body, but enough that I can fly across the island and speak to someone. I am able to see and hear and experience all that my Soul-Self does and speak through it as well."

"There are spells for telepathy," Tara said. "S-sending and receiving. But you need serious power to pull them off in my world."

"I can call anyone, even if I don't know their phone number." Diana paused. "Or they don't own a phone."

The Game

[glacial_witch]

Like she said, grab a partner and a message--or write your own--and get communicating.

Re: The Game

[anarchist_queen]

With a mischievous smirk, Leda folded and tore a piece of paper so it approximated a human form, wrote down a message, and then attempted to animate it.

It didn't work. She swore vehemently in Elvish. Stupid geas.

Talk to the Leaders

[glacial_witch]

Either in person or magically. Either way, they're here.

Re: Talk to the Leaders

[glacial_witch]

Karla's here. Still very proud of herself.

Re: Talk to the Leaders

[future_sandworm]

Karla had been visiting her home, he knew, and he hadn't had the opportunity to talk to her since she got back. This wasn't the best time, Leto knew, but he smiled at her and raised a hand in greeting.

Re: Talk to the Leaders

[glacial_witch]

Karla grinned and waved back at him. "Leto!" she called. "Hello!" She headed toward him, calling in a small package as she did so. "Kiss kiss," she said, giving him a cheeky grin. "I have a present for you."

COOKIES

Re: OOC

[thatsamilkshake]

FRANCINE IS NOT TOUCHING THE COOKIES BUT ONLY SO IT DOESN'T SPOIL THE SURPRISE LATER ON.

Re: OOC

[trigons_child]

Did Merlin bake himself into the cookies?

Re: OOC

[glacial_witch]

See how much he loooooves you?

HE BAKED YOU BISUITS. EAT THE BISUITS OF LOVE!
