[ACTION POST]
[It begins like this: the insects, not surprisingly, have flocked especially at the stables. Cat stands with his horse, Syracuse - sleek, dark, and with his eyes rolling wildly in his head. It could be dwimmer, some of that, the magic that Syracuse has recognizing the magic in the air-- that this isn't natural.
Cat tries to pull him from his stall, a gentle but firm hand on his neck, another on the reins. Syracuse rears, and though Cat hadn't even used an ounce of magic, lands a solid kick on the boy's chest. He's always been small for his age: Cat crashes back into a far wall, sliding to a pile of hay--and disturbing a greater bunch of insects.
The impact knocks free his device, and the video turns on--]
[VIDEO BEGINS HERE]
[Cat lies bruised and stunned on the ground as the insects shoot up, wings chattering. With an angry, not entirely intelligible yell, Cat flings out his left hand. The entire insect cloud turns to pebbles, pennies, and buttons.
The boy struggles to his feet, reaching for Syracuse-- but the horse, with a heavy exhale, gallops for the exit. Cat staggers after him; behind, resisting the magic already, the buttons, pebbles, and coins are beginning to vibrate and buzz on the ground.]
Oh, help. Syracuse! Syracuse--
