Level 2 Protection from Zaknafien

[wickedestwitch]

Uhm. Guys?

I uh... I think that wedding was real.

As in really real. 'Have a ring tattooed on my finger' real.

I- I don't know what to do.

[Everything might just be figuratively on fire a little bit.]

In less personal... stuff. Is anyone able to point me at the section of books here with magic that someone who can already do a different sort of magic can learn from? Mine's a bit... unpredictable in it's specifics.

Uu. It was only supposed to be a pretend wedding?

[Maria had thought it was real.]

[rustyhonesty]

... that or you were just marked by a Trump. She was officiating the wedding.

[wickedestwitch]

Yes, to keep Drizzt safe from the police.

[Sorry kiddo.]

[wickedestwitch]

I'm... pretty sure that's the flowers.

[happyhalloween]

But you like Mr. Zaknafein, right?

[She thought you did.]

[wickedestwitch]

I do like him, quite a bit. I'm not sure that it's love though.

[she's not sure she's ready for that yet.]

[rustyhonesty]

Oh... Uh.

I don't recall Orion having a tattooed ring, but I guess that doesn't mean it can't be some tradition.

[seestheworld]

She. Did say something about you two being more compatible than you realized.

[happyhalloween]

But at least you didn't get married to somebody you hated? [That almost happened to her cousin. Stupid Erika.]

[wickedestwitch]

That's true.

Did you have fun at the parties at least?

[wickedestwitch]

it was under the one we exchanged at the ceremony, I think it's the trumps being funny.

[private]

[wickedestwitch]

She? Ms Arrows said that?

[happyhalloween]

I did! Papa Jules taught me a wedding song named Cotton-Eyed Joe and we danced around in the ball pit! And then when we went to the Samhain Concert--Samhain is like Halloween for elves! It's the best holiday!--we found the man with the star vest and I got him to play it for us properly.

[private]

[seestheworld]

Yeah.

Re: [private]

[wickedestwitch]

But... why?

[private]

[seestheworld]

I don't know. She just said she was an expert on love, and that she had high hopes for you both.

[Also, they possibly are more compatible than they realize, but Minako's not about to say something that presumptuous. Besides, she doesn't even know if it's true.]

Re: [private]

[wickedestwitch]

Expert or not it's a bit rude.

Not that I don't like Zaknafien, or don't think he's... [there's a pause because there's a lot of words she could use here.] handsome. I just... being smushed together like a pair of dolls is... a bit annoying.

[private]

[seestheworld]

No argument there.

[Minako has been rather skeeved out about this whole thing.]

And I don't blame you for being annoyed. I'd be annoyed, if it were me.

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just that. Not after the tattoo Jules got.

[private]

[wickedestwitch]

Not that there really are many other dating choices available for me here.

[awitchdidit]

Such things can happen when you over think an alibi, unfortunately. Congratulations are in order, but on the other hand, it more or less depends on whether you think being married in the eyes of the Trumps counts for anything.

[She'd complain about not getting to ruin another sham wedding, but the party had been honestly enjoyable.]

As to your other questions, though, I had great success translating my own Endless Magic into Color Magic. I'd offer to teach you, but I may have to charge hazard pay if I do.

[memoryandtheft]

The obvious answer would be "get a divorce". Do you remember the exact wording of the vows?

[naturaltwohands]

[Hold on. Give Drizzt a moment. His heart may have done a few somersaults and then stopped before redoing the process repeatedly. He can hardly breathe. His mental voice conveys no small amount of horror and a large amount of guilt.]

What.

[seestheworld]

Traveling isn't the most conducive to a social life, no.

[morethanashadow]

...In hindsight, I almost feel like we should have seen this coming. [damnit Trumps.] You ok?
