Um. Hello again. Or, hello for the first time, if we haven't met before. Rory Williams here. [Rory is looking rather confused, which isn't out of the ordinary. The camera is quite unsteady, which is.]

This may just be a silly question from the relatively new guy, but is it normal for people who show up here to suddenly be able to... do things

I hadn't thought of that. Hang on.

[Luke proceeds to make his datapad float, pulling one hand out from under while having the other half-raised. It's relatively steady, but then an expression of pure wild delight spreads across his face aaand he's gesturing and the videofeed is circling him and looking like something out of Cloverfield, since his 'grip' on an object with momentum isn't entirely certain. He's laughing, fairly crowing.]

I love it!

[daddypond]

[Rory would be more relived to find out that other people are doing this too.

Except he doesn't know what it is.] Yes- but what is it, and why can I do it too?

[sand_wormie]

Oh, sorry! [It stops... upside down. Good job, Luke.]

It's the Force. They say a lot of Outworlders end up with it somehow. I probably had it before.

[daddypond]

[He tilts his head a little, trying to get him right side up again]

But- [and this is where he has to stop because, for once in his life, there are too many questions] ...how?

You're a wizard, Rory. [She wiggles her fingers at the camera, the universal sign for ~*magic*~. Look, ma, no hands!]

[daddypond]

Wait, but that's- [He looks stunned for a moment, then frowns.] Thank you, Robbie Coltrane. Love what you've done with your hair.

The wonders of plastic surgery~

It's called the Force, actually. Looks like you're able to use it. Welcome to the club.

[daddypond]

So there are others? Others who have turned up here and suddenly been able to use it?

[supercilious]

Sorcery!

[daddypond]

No, no! No sorcery here at all. I wouldn't know how to Sorcer if I tried!

[supercilious]

Don't bother to deny it! You're quite obviously using magic!

[daddypond]

How can I use something I don't know I have? [The datapad drops to the ground suddenly; Rory reaching for it and missing entirely. He kneels down to pick it up quickly] See? Now I'm not doing anything!

[regeneracy]

As freaky as it is, it's pretty normal. At least for me, it is.

[daddypond]

You can float things around too?

[regeneracy]

Sometimes, when I lose control. I'm working on being able to use the Force whenever I want, though. You're lucky to just be able to use it like that.

[daddypond]

Don't ask me to start doing anything else. [He grins.]

[incaution]

I guess so, if you're a demon or a witch or something else equally freaky. [IS SHE JOKING? WHO KNOWS.]

[daddypond]

Usually I'm not freaky at all. [EXCEPT THOSE TWO THOUSAND YEARS WHERE HE WAS PLASTIC, BUT THAT ISN'T IMPORTANT]

Do you... know a lot about witches or equally freaky things?

[incaution]

More than most people. But uh, the Force here gets people to do all kinds of crazy crap. Try not to worry about it too much.

[daddypond]

.... "gets people to do all kinds of crazy crap"? What kind of crazy crap?
