Okay, so. Hi, I’m back. You probably don’t remember me because I mostly spent my time here in the corner of the library - you know the one away from all the windows, it’s pretty dark in the back there, I usually just used Lumos or something so that I could read which was really inconvenient when I needed to cast a spell for something else because I

Hello, Janie. Welcome back.

[selfdeprecator]

Please don't do that to my name.

[admirestheroses]

Do what? Say it?

[selfdeprecator]

No, I mean the - verbal italics or whatever it is that you're doing, it's weird, it's like you're molesting it or something, there's no need to go around saying people's names like that.

How amazing are we talking here?

[selfdeprecator]

Iiiiiiii left a prestigious magic school that is focussed solely on the one subject I'm both good at and sort of enjoy, a little, because I got some of the highest marks in the class that would have guaranteed my spot there post-graduation and pretty much set me up forever with a cozy researcher's position in order to come back here where I'm probably going to have to repeat the year, I've missed out so much, and no one wants to hire a girl who had to repeat the damn year so I'll probably end up outside St Mungo's with a hat asking for spare change or something. Or working at McDonalds. Or KFC.

It's Jordan, right?

[bitingretort]

Working at where?

[selfdeprecator]

... Fancy "arithmancy" school? That sounds kinda boring, no offense.

[selfdeprecator]

Sure, okay, let's go with that, that's fine.

[overimpulsive]

Dude, no! I mean, this is the part where you tell me, "no, it was totally awesome! We had lightsabers! And we flew using our fancy-schmancy math powers!" ... Or something.

Anyhow, if you ever need a hand, just holler. I'm Bart.

[selfdeprecator]

Flying was next semester, I quit before then.

I won't, but thanks for the offer, I guess. I already told you I was Janie.

Welcome back, Janie. I'm Mulan.

[A contemplative pause.]

...what about charming a crystal to glow as an alternative light source?

Re: Voice;

[selfdeprecator]

What?

[notabride]

Crystals. Imbued with magic. They would make it so you could still see and be able to freely use your wand.

Why--? [hold on, she wasn't really aware of what she was saying up above]

Oh, Right. Nio, I'm - it's fine, don't worry about it. Really. Totally okay.

[Annnddd here's a loud explosion, reverberating about your journal, Janie. She was doing something else when she heard your entry. In the midst of reply, whatever she was doing...exploded. Good job keeping an eye on your experiments, Ed.

Coughwheeze.]

...Airthmancy?

[selfdeprecator]

Holy jesus what the hell was that!? Are you killing something over there, please don't tell me you're killing something voer there, you're not, are you?

[radicalmagical]

Funny funny! Ed is doing mag-mag-magic!

[Laughing at those silly accusations!

And then Ein whines. Feel free to wonder if she's killing the dog next.]

Are you killing the dog?
