We-ll, there was all this smoke and music, and I think the both of them together had me just moving and dancing, but, like, all night! I mean, ALL night into the morning. But while I was doing that, I could feel all this power building up around me, and so I used it to dance, but I could feel it, that I could do more if I concentrated it, you know? It was like when we were meditating, but hyped up.

If you think she's ok, I'll give it a try? What's the worse that could happen, other than her saying she wasted her time with my audition and that I'm squandering my gift and...wait, am I trying to talk myself out of this?

[owllady]

Huh. You're pretty connected to this place. [ Eda needs to take more time to think about that. She watches Luz for a moment, then shrugs. ] You do anything cool with it?

I'm not gonna make you do it. Thought you'd want to, but if you don't, I'll tell her that we don't need a teacher here.

If you do, and she's awful, I'll tell her to get outta our house.

[imaglyphwitch]

Not yet. The whole "waking up in a dark abandoned hotel" thing really made me forget, plus I almost fell off a Ferris Wheel. I want to try it again, in a better situation.

No, I do! I'm just nervous. I've never met a fully recognized witch here other than you, Ly and Luna, so I'm just trying to prepare myself.

Thanks. I'll be at my best!

[owllady]

Sounds like fun. [ Eda laughs a little. She spent her time at the beach relaxing. Nothing nearly as wild as that. ]

Don't sweat it, kiddo. She didn't seem that scary. [ Well, with the ball magic and all. She did remind Eda of Lilith a little too much, but, hey. Eda used to like Lilith. A very long time ago. ]

Alright. But I'm serious. I'll clock her if you need me to. [ She winks at Luz. ]

[imaglyphwitch]

[SO lucky].

Oh, ok! In that case, I won't worry, but I will definitely try to impress, if I can!

[Maybe tone down the theatrics though? With Bump it had been different because humans were so rare, but she was betting that being a human would not be so rare with most other people, if Deerington Sleepers were their basis].

I'm sure it'll be fine! I mean, you wound up striking conversation and finding that out about each other, she's probably as amazing as you are, right?

[That Eda had met Hecate before Luna certainly made things fortuitous].

[owllady]

You don't even have to try. [ Eda gives her one of those softer smiles, the ones that Luz gets out of her more than anyone else. ] Heh, yeah, but it was at that weird party. Dunno what happened that night, it's all kinda blurry.

[imaglyphwitch]

Trust me, if it was blurry for YOU, imagine dancing all night into the morning. The music was probably still pounding in my head the next day. It didn't help that I really enjoyed the heck out of it but lost my razor sharp focus on beating the hotel. Then the ballroom happened and, well, I can't say no to dances, apparently.

[She raised an eyebrow] So how'd you two meet anyway?

[owllady]

Heh, yeah. It really didn't give you a chance, did it. Well, bet those kids would still help ya. Lots of 'em are looking into this stuff.

[ Eda narrows her eyes, trying to remember. ] Huh. Dunno. Saw her, asked her to dance, I think? Something in the air, I guess.

[imaglyphwitch]

The kids here are definitely all really different. I mean, it's pretty hard to even pin any of them down.

[She says even after seeing some of them totally drunk].

"Something in the air?" Welp, that's definitely not totally a lot to go on, so I guess I'll just have to see what she's like!

[owllady]

Yeah? I don't think I wanna know what your human kids were like. They sound awful.

Guess we will! [ 'Cause Eda did not check! At all! ]

[imaglyphwitch]

They're not! I mean, in my world they're more freaked out by me, but the ones here are pretty nice! The ones I've met, anyway.

[owllady]

Why would they be freaked out by you? [ Eda raises an eyebrow at her. ] Yeah, yeah, the kids here are fine. [ "Fine" is a true understatement ]

[imaglyphwitch]

You know. I'm weird and overly enthusiastic. It's kind of how I wound up in your world to begin with.

I like them! They're all pretty fun! I mean, the ones I've met anyway.

[owllady]

Well, yeah. You are. That's Luz. [ Eda laughs, shaking her head. ] We'll see if this teacher can handle you, huh?

I love this icon so much

[imaglyphwitch]

It is!

[And now she was totally proud of it. She owned it! Mostly].

Hope she doesn't have an aversion to glyphs.

precious!!

[owllady]

Who knows. Either way, nice to have another witch here. Too many humans. [ Not that... Eda knows many of them...

She sighs, pushing off the wall ] Alright, kiddo. Get your glyphs ready.

Re: precious!!

[imaglyphwitch]

That's humanist! [She blew a raspberry at her teacher].

Will do! Still can't believe my grumpy mentor managed to strike up a conversation with a fellow witch all on her own! I think my ways are growing on you!

[owllady]

Who you callin' grumpy? [ She's not actually mad about it, and laughs, waving a hand. ] Who knows, maybe I'll be popular next you know it.

[imaglyphwitch]

Have you seen yourself in the morning? No one would call you anything else!

You mean you're not already?

[owllady]

[ Rude. That gets her a heat-less glare ]

Heh, maybe you're right. You know me, Eda, the Popular Lady. Yeah, that's it. [ Well, that was more true at home. Here? She's got a lot more friends than she ever expected. ]

[imaglyphwitch]

[Luz meets her glare defiantly. She uttered no lie]!

You'll actually BE that if you go out more, trust me. Some of these adults are nice people, you know.

[owllady]

I get out. Enough. [ The Glare continues ] I know adults. They're just boring. And stuffy. And I don't want to be popular with them.

[imaglyphwitch]

Are you sure about that?

[Here Luz gave a skeptical face].

I don't think I can honestly say I've met boring adults here! And wouldn't you want to bring more potential customers?
