003 - third luminescence ; armor and grails (backdated to 4/13)

[The feed turns on to a certain blond, standing somewhat close to the camera. She adjusts her webcam slightly before stepping back. She's dressed strangely, in what appears to be partial armor. And from the look on her face, she isn't quite sure what to make of it.]

So, I found this in my bag. I know I didn't pack it, because I don't remember having anything like this before I left. It's pretty light-weight considering [She moves around a bit to demonstrate] but I have no idea where it came from. I definitely wasn't expecting to find a breast place in my bag!

[But did the fabric underneath have to be so... tight-fitting? She felt awkward showing off her stomach and legs in something like that...]

I found something else too.

[She walks back up to the camera, reaching for something behind it, and pulling it out. A small, solid gold chalice, with simple etchings around the body of it.]

It's weird. I'm not sure what other me would have used this for, but I get this strange feeling whenever I hold it. I can't really explain. Has anyone seen anything like this? It looks like a goblet, but I can't for the life of me figure out why I would need something like this...

[She sighs.]

Anyway, I'm starting school tomorrow, and I'm a little nervous. I've never been to a public school before. What should I expect? I know there are a few people from LCHS, so some advice would be great. What teachers are good? Should I completely avoid cafeteria food? What are the need-to-know things I should, well, need to know?

I also know how sticky those fingers of yours can be.

Speaking of which, can I have my notes back? The ones I left you, before I left?

[not_good_not_wicked]

I wash my hands regularly. Especially the fingers!

[ladyofluminosity]

And my notes?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Yes yes, I have them somewhere around here.

[She moves out of frame to dig through the piles of stuff that fill her room.]

[Marisa, when you borrow something from someone, you're supposed to take good care of it, not lose it in a pile of junk.]

[not_good_not_wicked]

Let's see, that was...after the jar of mushrooms, so it would be...

[Rustle rustle rustle...Marisa move stuff around while continuing to talk from off screen.]

I was surprised. Our style of magic is pretty similar even beyond the superficial similarities. If you go deep down, you find the basic mechanics of it to not be too different, even though I'm pretty sure your preincarnation was from a VERY different place from mine.

[ladyofluminosity]

Really? Similar in what ways?

[not_good_not_wicked]

The basic ways of channeling energy through-

[And then she meanders off into several paragraphs of magical technojargon that I don't feel like actually writing out. There are similarities, though. Almost as if one of their power sets was inspired off the other's or something!]

[ladyofluminosity]

[And Luci ingests the whole thing gladly. It's so interesting!]

I'm glad that you got a lot from my notes. Maybe when you're looking at my cup from a safe distance, we can give each other a demonstration.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Well I mean, I don't know how much I'll be able to do without an atmosphere of academic trust.

[ladyofluminosity]

I think you'll find a way to work within the perimeters.

[not_good_not_wicked]

We live in a cynical world. When should I drop by?
