[Well, that was even less fun than the whole accidentally-hexing-the-entire-Turtle-for-a-week incident.  Although, speaking of...]

[She's not quite as done as she was for her last announcement to her not-so-adoring fans, but there is a notable trace of both exhaustion and dryness to her tone as she leans back in her chair.  Arms folded and a smudge of the iridescent paint still visible on one cheek.]

For the record?  No, it wasn't me.

[Meaning the disappearances.]

[With that settled, she moves to turn off the console, although perceptive ears might be able to hear her mutter:]

Geez, one little mistake, and suddenly everything's always your fault....

Re: audio.

[grigio]

Definitely. And besides, you seem the type to learn from your mistakes and admit when you've done something wrong.

I don't think you'd have let it go as long as it has, and I'd be able to see again.

audio.

[backwordscompatible]

...you can't see?

[This was news.]

Re: audio.

[grigio]

No. Can't figure out why yet, but hopefully it clears up soon.

audio.

[backwordscompatible]

What happened? Were you attacked?

audio.

[grigio]

Not that I can remember? I remember going to the museum or mansion or whatever it was. I remember going out with Raleigh and then going home to drop things off for a friend. And then I went back out to grab a few things and while I was shopping, everything happened at once. I was ghosted, I think the term was, and I couldn't see.

[backwordscompatible]

[She has no idea who Raleigh is, and assumes either friend or boyfriend or something along those lines.]

So, wait, you lost your sight the same moment you ghosted?

Re: audio

[grigio]

Yeah. It was really, really unsettling.

audio

[backwordscompatible]

I can imagine.

I guess it would be a longshot to suggest the two weren't related, huh? Only...Kyle and I were both ghosted, and as far as I can tell, we can both still see.

Re: audio

[grigio]

Maybe it's not the same for each person that was affected?

audio

[backwordscompatible]

But I don't feel anything wrong with me at all.

[The jury's still out on Kyle, the way he was acting....]

Re: audio

[grigio]

It's possible all that happened to you was the whole ghosting thing.

[A shrug. She's...been shrugging a lot lately but you know what? It works in this situation.]

audio

[backwordscompatible]

Possibly.

Though now you've got me curious. I wonder what else's been happening around here.

Re: audio

[grigio]

The usual turtle craziness with some what-the-fuckery mixed in.

[Don't mind Julie. She's trying to joke a tiny bit, just to help herself relax.]

audio

[backwordscompatible]

Must be a day that ends in 'y'

[She could get behind the joking]

Re: audio

[grigio]

Exactly.

[She appreciates Z going with it.]

It'll be fine. Someone somewhere will figure something out, and we'll be okay.

audio

[backwordscompatible]

I'd say your chances are pretty good.

I mean, we've got at least two major research facilities around here on the science end--and don't you dare tell either of them I so much as mentioned the idea. I've got a reputation to maintain, after all. But there's also plenty of magic users, too.

Re: audio

[grigio]

Who said what about which? I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Your rep is safe with her.]

audio

[backwordscompatible]

Actually, I prefer the term magic user, or mistress of magic over 'witch', but close enough.

Re: audio

[grigio]

[She sees what you did there, Zatanna. Or...hears.]

Ahaha you're so funny. No but, I won't say a word. I promise.

audio

[backwordscompatible]

Thanks, Julie. I appreciate it.

And if there's anything I can do to help, let me know, alright?

Re: audio

[grigio]

You got it.
