☮ six detention slips

[delincuente]

[Alex is bored. More than bored, actually. She's at the point where she's seriously considering picking up a book or something, just to dull the pain of having absolutely nothing to do. But alas, boredom hurts considerably less than reading, so right now she's just sitting on the floor of the lobby, practicing some magic on an innocent bench.]

[Wait.

What.

Yeah, the troll noticed your "magic."]

Did you jutht try to catht a thpell by rhyming?

[delincuente]

[Oh hey, a grey kid. Alex waggles her fingers at him.]

Correction: I did just cast a spell by rhyming.

[p2iioniic]

Tho you were intending to make a bench thound like a hoofbeatht?

[delincuente]

Uh, sure. And it worked, see?

[She gives the bench another little scratch, and it makes a happy donkey noise.]

[p2iioniic]

...

Humanth are tho weird.

[delincuente]

At least I don't use words like "hoofbeast". I mean, how are you supposed to tell the difference between donkeys and horses?

[A few more mumbled words, a flick of the wand, and now the bench is meowing.]

[p2iioniic]

They're pretty much the thame thing, tho it doethn't really matter.

... What did you do now?

[delincuente]

I tried to turn it into a cat... I think the castle just doesn't like me messing with its stuff. Let me try something real quick...

[She turns the wand on herself this time, and mutters the spell again. Only this time, there's a small "poof", and in Alex's place is a fluffy black cat.]

Hm. Well, that worked.

[p2iioniic]

[Watching and... Wow, okay, so now the human is a cat.]

Cute.

[That is the most deadpan "cute" to ever come forth from a pair of lips. Because coolkids like him don't think fluffy kittens are adorable.]

[delincuente]

[Have some kitty claws batting at your shoes.]

Let me guess - you're from some world where this is totally normal? I was hoping for at least a, "Holy crap she's a cat now!"

[p2iioniic]

[Looking down at said cat, and awwww-- Wait no, stop that.]

No one'th ever turned into a cat before.

But I've theen weirder by now that it'th going to take more than that to thtartle me.

[delincuente]

[A bit disappointed. What's the point of rule-less magic if she can't startle people?]

Well you're no fun.

So are you the troll I talked to over the journal? Your snark sounds familiar.

[p2iioniic]

If you're judging by thnark then you'll never figure out which ith which. But I'm the one with the yellow font. Thollux Captor.

[delincuente]

I remember you!

[Turning back into a human now, so she's not talking to his feet.]

You're the one who freaked out about the naked dolls.

[p2iioniic]

[Okay, she gets vague startlement at the sudden changing back. BUT THAT'S IT!]

Naked troll dollth.

[delincuente]

Ah, I remember now! I liked you.

[Laughing right now.]
