See How They Run

Hey!

I've totally got a question. How does like, this magic stuff work, and can I like, totally learn it? It can't be like, that hard to like, wave a wand around and make things happen right? You guys like, totally make my job obsolete. Here, I've got like, a wooden broom and everything, so I'm halfway to being a witch already, right?

I think there's some kind of focusing or something to use magic. But hell if I'd know.

[if_she_hollers]

Like, focus? I am so on that.

[ . . . . . . Silence for the next three minutes.]

[brbpouncingyou]

...

[[Awkward silence is awkward.]]

Uh... lady?

OK! So like, my house should totally be on fire now, right? But I like, don't smell any smoke

[brbpouncingyou]

...Okay, so I'm wrong. Nevermind.

Maybe you should find someone who can use magic really well.

[if_she_hollers]

[Not listening.]

LIKE, OHMIGOD! There's totally smoke! There's smoke like, everywhere! It's like, a total miracle, I must be like, a magical genius. I bet like, I'll be super famous once I get back home and like, all the newspapers will want to interview me and like --

. . . . . .

Oh. So like, false alarm. It's just like, the onions I was sauteing before I got bored and like, decided to talk on the phone. Like, bummer.

[brbpouncingyou]

Maybe you should put that out before your house burns down? That might... you know, it might help you survive here longer?

[if_she_hollers]

What, the onions? Like, you're so sweet for caring. But don't worry, I totally tossed them out the window.

[brbpouncingyou]

...Okay, yeah, I guess that works. I'm just worried about there being a fire. All the houses are so close, who knows what'd happen?

[if_she_hollers]

Oh, like, hold that thought. I think like, the yard is burning now.

[Silence again for the next three minutes.]

[brbpouncingyou]

...should I call the fire department...?

[if_she_hollers]

K, so like, I couldn't find the hose, so I just dumped some beer on it. It like, totally didn't work, so I just like, need to go bandage the place where my eyebrows used to be, and I'll be like right out to take care of it again.

[Just an OoC Note: None of this has actually happened.]

[brbpouncingyou]

...I'm. Uh. I'm gonna go now.

[[HE'S TOTALLY AWKWARDED OUT.]]

[if_she_hollers]

Like, no problem! It's like hard talking on the phone and like, fighting a fire at the same time, anyway. Seeya!
