ϡ - Chapter TwentyThree; In which one deals with tricky spells [video/action for housemates/voice]

[folkloristic]

[ You can have a view of Helios leaning back in his chair, rather comfortably actually. He's in his room and in said background are scattered papers and objects. Incidentally he doesn't have his glasses on today, might be due to the fact that he's conducting a delicate experiment in his room. Keyword being delicate. If you catch a glimpse of any of

[Just a light snicker.]

Having fun?

[folkloristic]

[ Just another cough on his end. ] I wish I could say I was!

[ Sighing so much sighing. And then a grumpy mumbled reply mostly to himself. ] Start all over again.

Maybe you should take a breather before trying to get yourself killed again. Not that I know a lot about magic.

voice;

[folkloristic]

I-I wasn't trying it just...sort of happened. This spell has been giving me nothing but trouble. I thought I finally had it, too. But everything is fine. The fire was a sm-small one. Not that, that's any consolation.

[ Just sounding very sheepish now. ]

voice;

[byakkoyagirl]

If something is troubling enough to cause fires, I think you should quit while you're ahead.

voice;

[folkloristic]

But I can't quit now. I almost have this spell figured out! Well...not almost but cl-close enough.

Can you at least get a fire extinguisher of some sort then? Or a fire marshal's approval.

voice;

[folkloristic]

It's already been put out thanks to a very nice air and water spell. Fire marshal...I don't we have one of those--

[ Oh. Are you making fun of him Paprika? ]

voice;

[byakkoyagirl]

I guess we should mail order one in right?

[When does she not make fun of you?]

voice;

[folkloristic]

How much do you think a mail order across the universes might cost?

[ He doesn't knooow. But it's meaan. ]

voice;

[byakkoyagirl]

No currency in Luceti, so I would say free of charge. A good bargain.

[Deal with it.]

voice;

[folkloristic]

Very true. I think it's going to be a bit tricky getting someone to actually ship someone out here though.

[ Between you and Giles he's going to have to deal with teasing and bluntness. But there's a sigh on his end. Helios has been meaning to speak with Paprika for awhile. Ever since the end of the event actually. ]

But...ah. I-I been meaning to speak with you. I just...was busy. [ More like been avoiding it. ]

voice;

[byakkoyagirl]

What can you do huh?

[She pauses when he speaks again though. Oh great. She has a feeling where this is going actually. Truth be told she doesn't want to even talk about that of all things, but she isn't going to tell that to Helios. It's part of her job to hear people out after all.]

We all get busy sometimes, so it's fine. What's up?

voice;

[folkloristic]

[ He takes a deep breath. Of course Helios rather not remember that either. But he...has to apologize or at least he feels he does. So he will because he doesn't know what else he could do. ]

I-I just...wanted to apologize for what happened. That, um, that wasn't me. Thank you, though, for helping s-stop me.

voice;

[byakkoyagirl]

[Apologize for...oh.]

For what happened near the end right? Don't worry about it, really. I was just doing my best to help. [Plus she can't honestly remember why he was acting that way, only that it was a bad thing. From what she does remember it seemed that 'she' knew it at the time, but those memories didn't stick.] You got help that night, right? I heard Giles went in to help in person.

voice;

[folkloristic]

He did. He-he helped st-stop me. [ From almost killing Robert. ]

But I just wanted to say I appreciated everything.
