Spell 02 - Video - Afternoon of the 13th

[eye_of_isis]

[Sadie turns the feed in a fairly okay mood. She has a box in front of her, and it seems to be making squeaking sounds]

First--whoever finally got the turtle moving again and whatnot? You are amazing. I thought I'd be okay not having my magic but I was wrong and those aren't words you'll hear from me all that often.

Second. [She taps the lid of the box in front of her] So when I got here, there was a boy. He was a very rude boy, who made fun of my boyfriend. He hit on me as well, but mostly he insulted my boyfriend. I am very protective of my friends and family, so insulting them is the fastest way to get me angry at you. And people don't like me all that much when I'm angry. Things tend to blow up and people usually spend a few hours as a banana slug or an earthworm or something. [Or there are threats of slugification] Not that I could do anything to this boy, as almost as soon as I got here my magic stopped, but I swore I'd get him back. So, when I woke up this morning and realized that oh, hey, I can blow things up again, I went to go find this boy.

[She opens the box and pulls out a brown hamster who squeaks]

Say hello to the nice people, Leo. [Boy, it feels good to have her magic back and turning people into critters (and then using said critter as a sort of warning that, hey, you might not want to mess with her). She smirks.] I have to say, he's much cuter as a hamster.


[[OOC: Chiqui has agreed that this is pretty much why Leo is hiding during her hiatus with him! Also tags might be a bit slow starting maybe tomorrow depending on the stupid confusing roofers they keep changing their mind about stuff.

ETA: THIS IS ONLY LASTING A FEW HOURS ICLY.]]

[iguanasolution]

Uhm... that's the fire sector, right? [He's been avoiding that one as much as he could, if he's honest with himself. Being afraid of fire isn't something he can control, even if he knows the fire in that sector won't burn him.]

Can we meet somewhere else?

[eye_of_isis]

Sure. Where, then?

[iguanasolution]

How does the actual entrance to the fire sector sound?

action?

[eye_of_isis]

Works for me. Meet you there?

action!

[iguanasolution]

Yup, be there as soon as I can, give me around 15 minutes.

[And there he is, looking around for her when he gets there.]

action!

[eye_of_isis]

[He beats Sadie there. She comes running up as soon as she spots him]

Sorry, Hazel called and wanted me to give Leo over to her. I told her I'd meet with her after meeting with you.

[iguanasolution]

[Frank had a smile that made his good mood clear, but that soon drops when she mentions Hazel.]

I bet she found him adorable.

[eye_of_isis]

No, actually, she seemed more worried that I'd mistreat which, you know, can't say I blame her.

[A pause]

Hazel's your girlfriend? You mentioned that you had one that Leo kept hitting on...

[iguanasolution]

[Well that's... understandable he guesses, and he feels kind of silly for his reaction now. But he can't really help it, when he sees Leo and Hazel together there's just- something inside of him that begins to burn.]

Yeah, she is. And they have... something of a history together, it's complicated. Can I see him?

[eye_of_isis]

[Sadie opens the box and lifts out Leo the Hamster Boy]

Here you go. Careful, he might bite.

[iguanasolution]

Well, he does that as a boy too. At least like this I can put him back into the box.

[He looks back up at her after a little staring at the little hamster thing.] Can you do something for me?

[eye_of_isis]

Maybe. What is it? I'm not keeping him like this, if that's what you want.

[iguanasolution]

[He laughs, shaking his head] No, our friends would never forgive us.

I want you to put me in the box when I turn into a hamster.

[eye_of_isis]

...I'm sorry, when you what?

[iguanasolution]

[A twitch of his lips] I'm a- look, it's easier if I show you.

[Frank is really lucky his class had a hamster as a mascot when he was little because otherwise he would have seen hamsters around twice in his life, and he needs to know the animal well to turn into it.

He closes his eyes, there's a gentle light... and the next time he opens his eyes he does it from way lower. Voilà, hamster.]

[eye_of_isis]

Oh. Well, why didn't you just say that?

[Shapeshifting is obviously nothing new for Sadie. She just picks Frank up and puts him in the box with Leo]

No fighting you two, or I'll make a pit stop for a ball I can hollow out.

[iguanasolution]

[Frank the hamster looks up wrinkling his nose. If they argue it will be Leo's fault, obviously.]
