4th Spell - [Video, Spam]

[whatthewrackspurt]

[In her room, Luna has stacked up all her furniture in the middle of the room in order to reach the ceiling. She lies on her back on a desk that's tilted precariously on a chair, a globe, three books, and a coat rack. Somehow it all manages to stay upright.

Paint drips into her hair as she paints her ceiling. Faces of people on the Barge are recognizable - people she's met and interacted with, Iris, Bush, Steve, Facilier, MewTwo, and others.

She's not a bad artist, really. It's a lot more fun than the art room, where they expect you not to paint on the walls]

Yes, but the dripping gives the floor personality.

It's all right. It's art. Sometimes you don't understand it right away.

[notdreaming]

[ She laughs. ]

That's a fair point. Would you like some help? I can fly.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Can you? What spells do you use?

[whatthewrackspurt]

Was it a memory charm? I've heard of those being rather dangerous.

A few hours now, but I painted other things earlier. Perhaps you'd like to borrow the paints when I'm finished?

Mmn.

I'm Luna Lovegood.

[whatthewrackspurt]

I'm Luna Lovegood. I'm a warden, and a witch.

[notdreaming]

Solar radiation. I won't fall, and I can catch you if you fall.

[whatthewrackspurt]

I've never heard of that before. Could a witch use it?

[notdreaming]

Not unless she was born under a red sun.

It's very nice to meet you, Miss Lovegood. I'm a warden, too, and a samurai.

[tricksandmischief]

I know. We have spoken before.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Technically, I think we're all born under all the suns, but some are just too far away to see properly.

[Video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

Well, if you say we have, then we must have. But I like to give introductions.

[whatthewrackspurt]

That's Japanese, isn't it? Samurais?

[video]

[sharpsurprise]

Hm-mh! I'm from Kyoto. Have you ever been to Japan?

[video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

No. My father and me once traveled to Siberia, but that's the closest we've ever come. We live in England, you see, so it's a bit of a walk.

I don't know how they did it. But we don't call things magic in my world.

[private]

[whatthewrackspurt]

What do you call them instead?

[notdreaming]

[ She laughs out loud. Okay, Luna might be weird, but she has such an interesting way of looking at things. ]

Too far away for any significant radiation to reach.

[whatthewrackspurt]

What if you were in a spaceship near one of the red suns? Would that do it?

[Private]

[exnihilo]

Neurocircuit manipulation. Microuniverse-powered warp drives. Nanofractal recombinant technology. Chemical conditioning.

There's things I have tools for that other people would say was impossible. I once found someone who learned how to copy a soul. But it's all science, one way or another.

[notdreaming]

Maybe... I haven't had the chance to study the phenomenon much. It could be that it's a result of my people developing in conjunction with red solar radiation, or it could be something more short-term.

[Luna goes quiet and wide-eyed at the mention of souls]

..Yes. We've got our own ways of touching souls as well.

Magic and science. It's all the same, once you get down to it.
