do you believe in magic [cw: truthiness]

Hey folks, Ambrose here. I know the other day Elphaba was asking after magic users to learn stuff from, but I was wondering... does anyone else want to learn magic? Who's willing to teach it? Maybe we should get together and do a big ol'... workshop? Exhibition? One of those things.

[ look he's been in the champagne a bit, it happens. ]

Basically everyone who is okay with teaching their particular stripe of magic can show what it's capable of, and anyone who wants to learn can shop around. We did this once a while ago, sorta, but I think it's time we do it again.

... people have been surprisingly candid about things this liminal space. Hell, I ended up saying some things...

Alcuin? I think maybe there's a truth thingy going on somehow.

[There is a protracted silence with the distinct feeling that behind it someone is swearing in several languages. When he answers, his voice is much calmer than the frustrated humiliation carrying through the bond.]

Well. I suspect I know what caused it. Do not drink the champagne, Thorne. I believe I may create several pitchers of my own, however, in a similar shade, in case it might be useful to masquerade.

[A brief, startled pause. And a sigh. He hadn't meant to say that either.]

I did, but I'm so not going to drink any more of it. And hey, that's a really good idea. I'm probably going to bottle up some of the truth champagne in case we'll need it later, though. I mean, obviously, not to use on us, but who knows if we'll need it later on a Jaunt or something?

You want to hide out with me until you can lie again? I promise I won't take advantage of it.

[There's a slight pause and then, in a gentle voice:]

It's okay, you know? I knew what you were when I fell in love with you.

An excellent use of resources, Thorne, well done.

You may come join me in my rooms if you would like. It will be easier for others to find me and for me to decide if I am willing to speak with them.

I know, dear one. If you had not known prior to Anafiel's... Well, you would be aware. As it is, I am primarily exasperated and frustrated over being so foolish.

Dude, it was free champagne. I don't blame you. I mean, I suspect you might have drank more than me, but that's only because you can. The whole medieval plus d'Angeline thing. Anyway, I'll be with you in a minute.

You shouldn't feel bad. You didn't know it would be truth champagne. I didn't know it would be truth champagne. We just have to try to work with it and maybe don't talk about things that could give away that we've got hidden layers to our public faces.

It may be slightly late for that. [Sigh. ] But I think you are right. Water and time and caution.

... yeah. Welp. I guess that you know a shitton more about magic than you let on and that I'm a little more fond of villains than I perhaps ought to be aren't the worst hidden layers to come out of this, but we certainly don't need anything more to come out.

Not particularly, no. There are far too many things which I have been given in confidence for that.

Yeah, no, seriously. I might not have as many of those as you, but I have enough. Which is why we've got a no prying pact, right?

[Thorne. Why did you ask him that.]

For the duration of this liminal space.

[Why would you ask him that?]

[For both their benefit?]

Or at least until the truth champagne wears off. After that we can disinform each other as long as we want. All night if it takes.

Agreed. I hope this does not extend to my writing or I shall need to rewrite much of this notation.

And you probably ought to get things down while they're still fresh in your mind, or I'd suggest waiting on it.

I'm almost to the depths where the room entrances are. Mind if I grab us supper from the Aiya or the Jacaranda? I've already used a decent chunk of today's making stuff on blood bags for Malin.

Mmmm. [Someone is still unhappy with Malin, apparently. ] Yes, that will be fine. I have no objections.

[You are petty as fuck, Alcuin... but then so is she, so she can't really protest.]

We should watch anime or a movie or something. Some nice, brainless activity that no one needs to talk for.

[USUALLY HE WOULDN'T EVEN COMMENT DANG IT ]

That might be best.

How do you feel about aliens that disguise themselves as dogs? Because I don't think I've shown you Lilo & Stitch yet.

In light of what we were just doing...? Perhaps something not involving aliens just yet?

... yeah, good point. I kind of want to do a Disney, though. Princess and the Frog or Beauty and the Beast?

........Are they not the same tale?

Nope. Totally different types in the Aarne-Thompson index, though fuck me if I can remember the numbers for either of them.

Do you want to watch something about a bookish young French girl who has to go off and live with a monstrous beast--or a hardworking American girl and a feckless young prince who got turned into a frog?

French? [He did not mean to sound so hopeful. Or so wistful. ]

If that would be all right.

Beauty and the Beast it is. We can watch the other another night. Though the movie's in English. It's just set in France.

I think you'll like it. And you'll probably end up singing the songs, because they're pretty catchy. I don't think there's one that isn't.

I look forward to it. [And he definitely means it. ] Thank you, Issa.

You're welcome, Dominus.
