[003] - Voice: Excuse Me.

[She's been putting this off. Actually, she's managed to put it off for a very long time now. But as slow as she may be, she knows when there's something she needs to say.]

Look, this probably isn't how you're supposed to do this sort of thing, but I'd rather get it out there up front and over with. I'm sorry for any... strange things I may have said or done while I wasn't quite feeling like myself.

That goes for Valentine's Day, and more recently. Though I have to admit recently wasn't that bad. In fact, if it was always like that here, I could probably get used to it. Eventually. Enough to hold my complaining down to a dull roar, anyway.

So I was wondering, too, about these filial spirits. If magic is really something here, it probably behooves me to try to see it at work. Anyone willing to volunteer to let me? I'm not saying I'm going to try it out myself, or anything like that. I just want to see it.

I'll echo all of those. Take Ms. Li out of the school part of the equation, and I'll even write a new cheer.

I never said it was that simple. [Though to be fair, she doesn't quite understand the reference either.]

Hahaha, I'd pay to see that.

Then there comes a time when learning about them isn't enough. [The flat voice keeps this from being insulting - for once she's only being practical.]

Rah. Luceti.

[Complete with a completely half-hearted gesture. Which is about the same result this would get if she did it for real.]

[Quinn is trying pretty hard not to laugh]

It needs work.

[She's not putting work into a cheer, Quinn. Actually, she's not putting anything into a cheer. Or much work into anything.]

I'll leave the cheering to you and your fashion pep squad.

Oh, all right. Hey, you think Stacy'll show up here someday? [Not Sandi. Please. Tiffany...maybe.]

I didn't actually believe him when he said he was a god.

Well perhaps a better definition would be basing it on how a person has been brought up. I mean most of the spells are never usually taught, so it's a likely chance that most people would never know about their powers. But the people that do, well, it's their judgment on whether to use it for good or-or evil. Dark magic is a bit more addicting than light magic is. I suppose that's because of its origins in my world. Demons were the ones that taught humans most dark magical spells. And even then some of those spells weren't even all that bad. But you know how things are when people tamper with powers unknown. Humans unlocked darker magic from the ones initially given to us.

[ Here Helios will shrug and sigh a little shaking his head. ]

I'm not sure the reason why, but I just know that there is a very strict rule on using it. And that the Magic Council punishes all those who are found to be using it which is a step in the right direction. But that's, ah, in my own world.

If we're lucky, no. Unless we can leave her here while we go back home.

[Sorry, Quinn. She knows you're one of the few people who can stand the girl, but... she just can't.]

I'm not a theologian, but isn't "it came from demons" usually a red flag to start with?

[Then again, she's no more religious than she is a theologian. From that perspective, she can see not particularly caring where a power comes from. But if you do believe in demons, and evil, why align yourself with it?]

With all the wandering around disguised as travelers gods do, you'd think they'd be used to that by now.

Dariaaa! That's just mean! [Come on, at least she's nicer than the other two!]

Edited 2013-04-16 18:01 (UTC)

[Nicer, yes, but without a word to say for herself, and she blindly buys into the whole 'must keep Sandi happy'.

On the other hand, definitely nicer. If one of them has to be here...]

If one of them has to show up, better her than the others, anyway.

[Hah!]

Besides, even they'd be better than Upchuck.

This place is Hell enough without Upchuck. [Though she'd like to see him put against the Malnosso. Maybe he can disgust them into letting him go.]

I knooow, he's so gross!

Usually, yes, it is but demons in my world are somewhat different. They're not as, ah, evil and dark as most people seem to think they are. I mean I do have quite a few of them attending my school as it were. But it is that preconceived notion that all demons are evil which makes their magic dark. I suppose it also depends on how you use said magic. Even light magic can be used in a negative way

[ Helios will smile sheepishly, a hand will come to the back of his head. ] But, ah, that's enough of me talking about such things. Do you intend to ever try contacting them? The spirits I mean.

[That's one word for it. 'Uncouth', 'blind to the reactions he provokes' and 'likely to end up on a sex offender registry some day' are other words.]

Let's let sleeping Upchuck's lie and not talk about him.

I'm not sure yet. I figured I could make the decision after I find out some more about them.

[She's running against some pretty strong biases against even believing they exist. And believing they're actually helpful is a whole new hurdle. She just figures she may as well at least try learning about them.]

I'm not even sure what all they can do. I've heard what they're supposed to represent, but not much more than that.

You're right. Let's talk about Jodie instead! She's really smart, from what I hear, she could probably figure something out.

[She'll cut her losses and be glad Quinn isn't calling her a brain for once.]

Actually, I hate to admit it, but there are people here who probably outclass anyone we know. If they haven't found some answer yet, it's going to take awhile.

[sigh]

You're probably right.

Still doesn't mean a way out doesn't exist. It just means we need to get more creative.
