5th Spell [Voice / Action]

[slayersidekick]

Halloween's coming up soon, right? ...Why do I get the feeling something really bad's gonna happen soon?

U-uh, so... how are everyone's costumes? Did anyone else get one chosen for them? Instead of, y'know, choosing your own? Or a-am I the only one lucky enough to not be able to keep one on... Uh! I-I mean, not keep the original one... uh, there's

I think nearly everyone has had an outfit chosen for them. Whenever we take them off, they return in a matter of minutes.

...leaf-cleaning?

[slayersidekick]

But that's not really fair. I-I already had to wear this outfit and it wasn't even Halloween then!

...uh, mostly just moving the leaves around with wind. I-I'm just practicing.

[esper_flight]

...this has happened to you before?

Oh! I see. You're using Kipinn's magic?

[slayersidekick]

Uh, not exactly? I-it wasn't a Halloween thing last time.

Yeah, trying to. It's harder than I thought it would be. [ And there are loads of extenuating circumstances to work around. ]

[esper_flight]

Hm. I've been using his magic for a while. If I can help...?

[slayersidekick]

Uhm... [ Well, the help might be appreciated but it might also require talking about certain things and she's not sure how to go about that. Maybe she can figure it out with Terra around her... ] Okay. I'm uh, just hanging out near House 7 right now.

[esper_flight]

I'll be around in a bit, then.

[action]

[slayersidekick]

Okay. [ There's some definite nervousness in her voice there. She's waiting by the house, though, not really doing anything, but looking as nervous as she sounded. ]

[action]

[esper_flight]

[Terra approaches, in what is quite possibly one of the least threatening costumes ever. She seems a little on edge, glancing around and wincing every so often. Kefka's laughter isn't an easy thing to ignore. But she tries to smile as she spots the other ahead.]

Hello, Willow.

[action]

[slayersidekick]

[ Willow would trade in a heartbeat. She looks like she wants to be anywhere but here at the moment, but she manages a smile when she spots Terra. ]

Hi! Uh, are you okay?

[action]

[esper_flight]

[Terra shrugs, not very good at lying, but not wanting people to worry about her, either.]

It's just...I keep seeing things that aren't there. But I know it can't last, right? It's only for a few more days.

[action]

[slayersidekick]

[ It's okay. She gets it. ]

Oh.. you, too? Y-yeah, hopefully it'll all be over by Halloween. Is this the way it's been every year?

[action]

[esper_flight]

[She's quick to shake her head.]

Oh, no. At least, I don't think it's a pattern. Last year, they had am amusement park during this week, and then Halloween night, we had to attend a party they threw for us. People had to be in costume, but we could at least pick them...and there was no creepiness.

[action]

[slayersidekick]

Oh, well... at least it's not a... yearly thing? This is kinda normal for Sunnydale, though.

[action]

[esper_flight]

Then maybe you'll do better than most of us, this week.

...um, how's your wind magic?

[action]

[slayersidekick]

I-I don't think so.

[ Yeah, okay distraction over. She winces a little and looks uncomfortable. ] It's, uh, going okay, I guess. [ she demonstrates a little bit, just making a couple of leaves float, but that's about all before they fall to the ground. Her hand's shaking, though, and that might be fear on her face. ]
