All right. Who besides me has got some echo or memory of doing magic? Real magic, not Houdini stage stuff.

And if you do ... how do you remember people around you taking it? Were you prized for it? Was it just another job, nothing remarkable? Or were you persecuted?

And to what extent, if you were. Minor inconvenience? or Puritan outrage. [ He forces a dry chuckle that doesn't reach his eyes. ] Never again the Burning Times, as they say.

Oh! And what did you use to wear when you were doing magic? Did you use equipment you weren't born with?

[Video] calling all magic users

[keywarding]

[It's Holly again, she's sitting in her room, the camera showing her sitting on her bed with a window behind her that's shut but the curtains are pulled open. She smiles quickly in greeting.] I have a question for any magic users on here.

How do you use it? Do you use spells? Wave a wand? I'm pretty sure I was a witch or a sorceress or something, and I have some things that could be used for it but- I'm stuck on the how.

Any help would be great!

Entry #A-4: "Ante" [February 21, Text]

[dead_black_eyes]

Though the police and the Blood Keys obviously represent a threat to many numbered individuals, I have a question about organized religion, and what pulses might mean when framed within certain philosophical contexts.

No matter how natural it might feel, if there really is another being nudging its way into an existing consciousness, changing a person's aptitudes, physical attributes and even their personality... there have to be at least a few churches that would consider that demonic possession, right?

Has anyone tried to reconcile what's happening with influential religious practices, and do we have any resources for assisting anyone who might wind up the subject of an attempted exorcism? Those still happen today, they can be extremely dangerous, and I'm concerned about the possibility of frightened numbered people seeking out such assistance, or being subjected to it by their families and communities. Thinking you're crazy is one thing, but sincerely believing that the devil is wielding you as an instrument is another entirely. Probably not something that the FAQ page can successfully assuage, for the most tenaciously convinced.

( Finland lost 2-1 to Sweden and Siiri is buzzed. )

At least we had no Bieber to get rid of through this. [One of her labmates talked about that in detail, and it just seems incredibly relevant right now (to a degree this might be the alcohol talking). There is also no context provided in her words. At least her accent might tip someone off about her being Finnish, it's heavier than normal now, so someone following the winter Olympics, especially someone following the hockey ones, might be able to guess that she is talking about the semi-final that went down the same morning.]

We'll still get bronze. [She's probably more fired up about this than she'd normally be, but considering where she lives right now it just seems more relevant than normally. Even more so if Canada keeps up the good work.]
