Magic! [Video]

[not_good_not_wicked]

[The scene: Marisa's backyard. The first second or two is her staring into the camera while she adjusts it, before backing up to a more reasonable distance.]

Okay so I came out of the mines with a different broom than the one I came in with. Weird, but not really that weird compared to the other stuff that goes on around here, right? But check this out.

[She reaches off screen and grabs a broom. It has a metal ring through the end of the handle, which is made of some kind of bamboo, and overall looks far more hand-made than anything you'd buy at the supermarket today. She puts it on the ground, then took a few steps back and pointed up.]

UP!

[The broom slowly, jerkily, stood up until the handle was pointing straight up into the air with no visible means of support.]

I can't do it to anything else but the broom, but it's a start! After all those memories of being a badass magician, it's starting to come true!

Wow, that sure is the first step towards magical badassery right there. Totally. Super impressive. Do you think you'll be picked for Quidditch captain this year? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

[not_good_not_wicked]

Baby steps. Your coin flipping power was way lamer than this.

[drama8om8]

Exactly. Meaning I beat you for how incredibly lame that was. I won.

[ wait ]

And! Then I moved past the lameness. And got cool stuff! Meanwhile you got nothing except long chats with Dumblydore and-slash-or the promise of cleaning-based superpowers.

[not_good_not_wicked]

You wish you were half as cool as Dumbledore.

[drama8om8]

I am like eight times cooler than Dumbledore. He's not even hot!

[not_good_not_wicked]

What does THAT have to do with anything? He's a wizard! He's got secrets and mysterious ways!

Anyways even if he was hot, he's gay so it wouldn't matter.

[drama8om8]

Secrets, schmecrets! It doesn't matter how mysterious somebody is unless they have an aura of brooding hottery to go with it. Like Dumbledore would have been much cooler if he was like. Hot! And about twenty. And beardless. And wore a cowl thing instead of a stupid hat? Dumbledore as a hot goth wizard. Boom. Instant character improvement.

[ Sigh~ ]

He could still be gay and stuff. I mean fanfic would do that anyway let's be real here.

[not_good_not_wicked]

You're a Snape fan aren't you?

[drama8om8]

Show me somebody who doesn't think Snape was a fucking hero and I will show you somebody who is bad and wrong. Their opinions are also bad and wrong. And their face.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Well just for a start he kills Dumbledore. That ain't hero material.

[drama8om8]

Uh, wow. So he should've just let the other hot broody wizard do it? Snape stepped the fuck up! He was all [engaging terrible alan rickman impersonation:] "no, Malfoy, wait there while I stop you soiling your pretty hands with the blood of this old dude" and shit. He did what he had to! Hero.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Malfoy? Hot? Malfoy was an anemic brat who got in over his head.

He WAS pretty good at brooding though I will grant you that.

[drama8om8]

He was hotter than fucking Dumbledore. I mean it's clear you have a total oldmanbeardboner going on here but wow. Tone it down.

[not_good_not_wicked]

[Haughtiest expression engage]

I have better things to do with my time than lust after characters in children's literature.

[drama8om8]

Like fiddle with your broomstick?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Exactly like that. It is the first step on my journey to bearded, wizardly glory.

[drama8om8]

Man, that must suck. To actually have to work on your lamey-lame powers, I mean. Instead of getting them handed to you on a silver platter for being so great! Like some of us. Mentioning no names.

Except me.

 

I was referring to me.

[not_good_not_wicked]

A bit of effort never hurt anyone. Even if I have to work at it to be better than you, at the end of the day I'll still end up better than you.

[The gauntlet is thrown.]

[drama8om8]

Ell oh ell. Perhaps even ell em ay eff oh. What if I don't need a shitty dumb broom that doesn't even work to fly? What then.

[not_good_not_wicked]

If the shitty dumb broom lets me fly higher, I'll take it.

[drama8om8]

 

 

 

[ shit octavia can only hover right now um

maybe

she should

practice too... ]

Haha! As if. I'll fly fastest and highest and I will wave down at you on the ground like a chump!

[ EVEN IF SHE HAS TO FUCKING GET ON A PLANE ]

[not_good_not_wicked]

You're on.

[somedaytogether]

That certainly is a magic broomstick. I wonder how you could get it to fly?

Re: audio;

[not_good_not_wicked]

I can sort of get it to hover, but not with nearly enough force to lift a person yet.

[somedaytogether]

How charming.

So you had magical powers in your last life?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Oh yeah. I was a badass magician who could fly and shoot lasers. I fought vampires.

Well, at least one vampire.

[shiromadoushi]

Nice! Pretty soon you'll be flying around cackling madly with that hat of yours and everything, right?

[not_good_not_wicked]

I am just waiting for the moment when I need to get someone named Dorothy to surrender. I will LEAP into action.

[shiromadoushi]

Hell yes, do it! And warn me first so I can watch!

[not_good_not_wicked]

Will do.

[She eyed the broom, which was already starting to droop.]

Of course, I've got a ways to go before I can actually fly with this thing.

[shiromadoushi]

You have until Diabound gets solid and can take me flying~ Get busy~

[not_good_not_wicked]

I will race your giant snake monster dude and leave it in the dust.

[shiromadoushi]

You're on~

[dorkytracksuit]

Have you really remembered that much?

[not_good_not_wicked]

I've remembered some things. I could fly, I knew magic, it was cool.

[dorkytracksuit]

Oh, but you haven't remembered everything or even all your abilities.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Not even close. Scattered bits and pieces.
