[Sadie, if you know her, actually looks a little distressed.

She's mostly annoyed, though]

Right. So. That--and you all know exactly what I'm talking about, don't pretend you don't--but that? That whole incident? That is why you don't say the name of things you don't want showing up at your doorstep. Words have power. Names have a lot of power, and true names? True names can be used to kill. Whoever called that Thing--thanks a lot! If anyone needs me, I've got some potions to prepare before going to see if that Thing is actually in the city or if it was just projecting itself psychically.

[As she cuts it, you can hear her grumbling about "stupid mortals" and "honestly, don't you people watch television or read?"]

[backinakidflash]

Oh. That makes sense. Sustaining energies and all that. We'll just have to make sure you don't get squished. So how old are you?

[eye_of_isis]

Thirteen.

[Anticlimatic, huh?]

[backinakidflash]

Oh. OK.

[A little bit, yup.]

I don't mean this in a bad way - it applied to one of my best friends too, but you're kinda uptight for 13.

[eye_of_isis]

[She frowns]

Uptight? That's the first time anyone's ever said that. Usually I'm the one doing things like going into the library when told not to.

[backinakidflash]

[Bart laughs softly.]

OK - your example for how you're not uptight is going to the library. And you totally took the whole network population to task over the name-dropping and then thromped off to get a stock of potions together.

You're really on the ball for 13. What's your name?

[eye_of_isis]

Yeah, because the library was what had all the information on how to use magic and my uncle said it was off limits. 'Course I'm going to break into the library.

[She does like being told she's on the ball]

Sadie Kane.

[backinakidflash]

Even if it's fun studying, it's still studying. {But, oh, he likes your style, Sadie, and there's an approving little smile on his face.] You'd think adults would realize that forbidding stuff makes it tantalizing.

Bart Allen.

[eye_of_isis]

You'd think. Unless, you know, they're saying "don't go in there" because there's poisonous frogs all over the place. Then I'm perfectly fine with obeying the rules.

[backinakidflash]

But. Doesn't someone have to go in there and round up all the poisonous frogs? I mean. They could escape. Or die if you leave them without food and water. So really, going in there is a good thing.

[eye_of_isis]

Someone may have to, but that's what shabti are for. Or a zookeeper.

[backinakidflash]

[He cocks an eyebrow at her.]

Shabtis and zookeepers? What kind of library do you go to?

[eye_of_isis]

A magic one.

[backinakidflash]

I need to get in a magic library.
