Trick or Treating

Oct 31, 2006 12:41

The door is metal, like something out of Star Trek. There's a big orange pumpkin with evil eyes and jagged teeth painted on the door ( Read more... )

Following a map, helped and guided by a green haired woman dressed semi-uncomfortably in Dragoon armor, ten little 'poes' float up. Wow, what a strange door! It's like nothing they've seen in the village.

"Trick or treat!" they call out in unison.

The door opens and the little girl bounces out. "Hi! Oh my God, so cute! Happy Halloween!"

mage_hatchlings November 1 2006, 02:39:12 UTC

"Happy Halloween!" they chirp back, bobbing in midair. Yay for float spells. They hold out their treat bags with one hand each so they can keep hold of the lanterns.

They all get a child handful of toffee dropped into their treat bags, because they're so cute. "I can float too!"

She bobs up into midair with a crackle of blue light.

mage_hatchlings November 1 2006, 02:44:16 UTC

"Wow!"

"You can!"

"Do you use magic too?"

"We do!"

"We're really Black Mages."

"Nuh-uh, I man-ip-late Quantum." She shrugs and drops back to the ground. "Dad says I'll get better at it when I get older."

mage_hatchlings November 1 2006, 03:53:46 UTC

"What's quantum?" a hatchling asks puzzledly. They'd never heard that word before.

lights_midnight November 1 2006, 03:55:56 UTC

"I dunno." She scratches her head. "But I make it do what I want."

mage_hatchlings November 1 2006, 04:40:41 UTC

They think about this, and then there are several little nods.

"That's like magic."

"That's what we do with magic."

"Uh huh!" One of the smallest ones holds out a tiny clawed lavender hand for a moment. The air around him grows a little chil and particles of condensation form an icecicle in his hand, which the little waltz holds like a knife. "See?"

"Magic's fun."

lights_midnight November 1 2006, 04:52:45 UTC

"Oh. Uncle Doctor does magic and he says I don't do magic, but I do, I can make what makes magic do what I want."

Her eyes go wide. "COOOOL! How'd you do that?!"

mage_hatchlings November 1 2006, 05:45:02 UTC

"Wow."

"I'm very good with Ice spells," the little floating shape with the icecicle says. He bobs down and offers it to Jenny. It will melt eventually, of course, but she can see if she wants.

lights_midnight November 1 2006, 05:49:45 UTC

Want to bet that it'll melt?

"Thank you! I'm going to keep it forever!" She hugs it. There's a blue cast over the ice and then nothing. maybe it was a trick of the light.

mage_hatchlings November 1 2006, 06:09:20 UTC

Mistral wonders how anything in ice could be kept forever, but doesn't ask.

"Mr. 128's even better with ice than me. He can make all kinds of little shapes. Flowers and chocobos and everything, but they all melt."

"He makes little fire kittens too, and can make them jump around and look like real cats," another bobbing hatchling says.

lights_midnight November 1 2006, 06:15:54 UTC

"Kitties! I love kitties! Dad says I can't have one, but I have a proto- energy thing... it's a ball of light! And it floats and stuff. I like it, but I'd rather have a kitty!"

mage_hatchlings November 1 2006, 06:24:15 UTC

"Cool."

"There are two cats in our village."

"Black Cat One, and Black Cat Two."

"Porom said Black Cat One is going to have kittens."

"We have sheep and chickens too."

"And the chocobos."

(*kicks LJ for doing crazy things*)

lights_midnight November 1 2006, 06:26:37 UTC

"I dunno what a chocobo is. But I like kitties!"
