[Willow looks tired, faintly strung out, and somewhat tense. She's clearly a little on edge and trying to redirect the energy somewhere else.]

Whoo, okay, I think I am liable to go actually crazy if I don't do something that's not meditating sometime soon. There is only so much communing with the turtle energy a girl can do before crazy happens, and crazy on me is a bad, bad look. There's a whole Darth Rosenberg deal I'm trying to avoid.

Does anyone want to do something? Previous conversation not required to apply! I'll do anything, just provide reasonably friendly social interaction and I'm there.

Oh, and, I'm still available to do spells and stuff for people if anyone wants to hire me. I might not be able to get to it for a while because I have a... a major project I have to finish up first, but I do have some things in stock if anyone wants something? Um. Let me know.

Even if I feel like I'm gonna reach magic overload sometime soon. Never thought I'd say that.

[She's much more serious when she records this part, expression reserved and intent, even edging into nervous.] I finished it. I'm ready-- or as ready as I'll ever be.

I just... [She hesitates before going on,] Shouldn't we tell your brother first? Um, brothers and mom, technically. Yeah, I saw that post, mister. I'm not sure we should be doing this without them knowing. It seems like it'll cause a ruckus if it works-- even more if it doesn't work.

[private to Tony (MCU) | 80% encrypted | video]

Just kinda checking in. [There's curiosity and faint concern on her face.] I haven't talked to you in a while and I figured I needed to make sure you weren't in a ditch somewhere or gruesomely murdered by a Fyarl demon. How are you doing?

[unconchonable]

Spells?

[Said as if the word itself was the most revolting thing in existence. It also comes with a judgmental look, free of charge!]

[guiltapalooza]

[She raises her eyebrows at his appearance but doesn't say anything on it.]

Yeah. Did you miss the multidimensional memo?

[manofiron]

Depends what a Fyarl demon is. Is it Russian?

[ Inside anti-Vanko joke no one but him is likely to get. ]

[guiltapalooza]

No. It's just kinda... Fyarl-y. Actually it looks like a classic demon, snarly face and horns and prone to bludgeoning.

[Wait, this is off track.]

So-- checking in? [she prompts.] How are you?

[denyamenti]

You're selling magic.

[ He's totally making this face at the cafe console, Willow. ]

text forever

[guiltapalooza]

[Well, okay, she'll match text, even if she dislikes that she can't read his tone here.]

Yes? Is that not a thing where you're from? It's not like I'm doing anything bad with it. All innocent!

[bacondivination]

[ Wow! Let's talk about things that Loki is so not talking about on the network, private or no. He teleports in behind her with a faintly fussy exclamation of: ]

Really?

[guiltapalooza]

[She immediately screeches at the surprise-- people teleporting into her room reads as danger to her, okay-- and lunges to grab the nearest blunt object, which is the hefty Witchcraft tome she'd brought with her from home.

Willow ends up stopping mid-scrabble as she realizes it's Loki, who she promptly scowls at.] Don't do that! [she scolds.] You're going to give me a heart attack, and I just did all that work for you!

[Gosh, she expects a little gratitude here.]

[ ... Anything, huh. ]

Greetings, my name is Spock. Do you play any instruments, Ms. Rosenberg?

[guiltapalooza]

[Oh Goddess, he had to pick the thing she's bad at.]

Um. [Suddenly somewhat nervous.] No? Me and music, we've never really gotten along as far as participatory experiences go. But I dated a guy in a band once and I'm really really good at sitting there making encouraging noises at appropriate times.

[ Bakura is in fact being rather thoroughly entertained by this, so later and when he's back in his own suite, he answers this post again as his host's persona. ]

What kind of things do you like to do?

[ He knows she said "anything" but, Ryou would of course defer to someone's preferences first. ]

[guiltapalooza]

Me? [Oh, well, Willow does like attention, so she answers readily.] When I have the chance, normal stuff, I guess. My friends and I used to hang out at this club a lot, and the magic shop. [Which are now both in the sinkhole that used to be her town, so uh, moving on.]

Sometimes if we stayed in we'd watch black and white Bollywood movies and make up our own subtitles. But there aren't any movies here, which is really a bummer.

[Sheepishly,] You can see why I'm not doing too well on my own.

[gathersnomoss]

I wouldn't mind some candles. I have some experiments to do.

What sort of spells are your specialties?

[guiltapalooza]

Great! Did you want a certain kind of candle?

I'm pretty good at telekinesis, and I'm not bad at offensive spells if I have some prep. Barriers, too. [That was just because she's had to be good at barriers; who knew if that was an innate talent.] I don't know, I guess I do whatever needs doing.

[bindsthedead]

What sort of spells are you selling? [Sabriel's tone is half curious, and half concerned.]

Ah- do you have anything involving healing?

[guiltapalooza]

I have a pamphlet [ICly attached as a file!] kinda thing with suggestions, but I can do other stuff, too. Just ixnay on anything dark.

[Then she hesitates. Willow's really not that great at healing compared to Tara, and it's always stuck at her. It takes a big investment of power for her to heal someone directly, so usually she can only help the slow way.]

Sort of. I have a cream that speeds up natural healing, and I can meditate with someone and do that, too. Anything quicker is... is probably not a good idea.

[fdaterminator]

...Turtle energy?

[guiltapalooza]

Well, usually it's Earth energy, but this isn't Earth, so.

[A shrug?]

[skybluejeep]

You. Me. Pad thai. ASAP. What do you say?

[guiltapalooza]

[Instant grin.]

Stiles, you are the best Stiles, supreme above all others. When should we go?

[andallbite]

Hire for... spells?

[ While he does seem a bit incredulous, it also sounds more like he isn't quite sure what she's talking about. ]

[guiltapalooza]

[People at home don't know about magic either, so Willow doesn't mind explaining as long as it's not more of that demon kid telling her her skills are bullshit.]

Like magic spells? I'm a witch. [She sounds pretty undramatic and normal about it.]

[transferee]

Spells? Like magic?

Huh. That's pretty cool that you're so willing to use your powers to help people.

[guiltapalooza]

[She'd been getting some disconcerting reactions to this, so this is nice. Willow smiles.]

I mostly learned them to help people, so just doing my job, [she says cheerily.] You know, if saving people came with a paycheck, which it turns out, it doesn't.

But yeah. I'm a witch.

[crabmunicator]

Wow, communing with that turtle energy sure is tough. Why don't we go bond with the cloud spirits, or channel the mystic vibrations of the trees? Surely those make exactly as much sense as the thing you just said. Come on, suggest something ridiculous, because I am ready and raring to go waste my time on something that sounds fake as shit.

[So, there's a grey guy. He's rolling his eyes. He doesn't actually care about the spell part.]

[guiltapalooza]

[He looks like the other extremely rude gray guy and it's making Willow huffy.]

Is everyone of your species just a big jerk? [she demands.] Because so far you're two for two. Just because you can't tap into the turtle mojo doesn't mean I can't.

[shorttempered]

What kind of friendly social interaction? [Because Mark was sorely missing some.]

[guiltapalooza]

Um, anything? [Willow smiles sheepishly.] Pretty much what it says on the tin. Are you friendly and not going to argue with me that my powers are impossible? If so, please apply now.

[video]

[witchnotwarlock]

[Sort of concerned. Intrigued, but definitely concerned.]

Is it safe to be selling magic like that? I mean, should it really be for sale?

[guiltapalooza]

I worried about that too, [she confesses.] But I'm being pretty careful about what I'm selling. Nothing that could hurt anyone, only spells I'm confident with...

[She shrugs.] It's what I know how to do. I'm not sure what else I could do for work.
