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]

Oh, no. They're very different from cats. Cats don't breathe fire, for example.

You're a Muggle, aren't you?

[Wide-eyed:] What gave it away? The total lack of dragon knowledge?

spam

[whatthewrackspurt]

Yes. That and you don't have a wand you've brought out yet.

spam

[versusnurture]

I don't have a wand at all.

Why'd you want to know?

spam

[whatthewrackspurt]

I don't know very many Muggles. We're kept separate from them. You're one of the first I've spoken to.

[Dryly:] Am I everything you expected?

spam

[whatthewrackspurt]

I'd be expecting a whole kind of person if that were the case. It would be very time-consuming.

spam

[versusnurture]

That does sound like kind of a pain.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Do you expect things in witches?

[She contemplates this. Then:]

Warts. Messy hair. I don't know. Broomsticks.

But all of that's too silly to be true.

[Luna entwines a finger through her own thoroughly messy hair]

Oh, I don't know. Sometimes something is silly and true at the same time.

Anyway, I've met lots of witches with warts. Wizards too. And I don't like Quidditch much but you can't play it without broomsticks.

Do they really fly?

spam

[whatthewrackspurt]

What else would they do except fly? I suppose you could use them to sweep the floors, but as I understand it, they cost a lot of money and you'd be better off with a nonmagical mop.

spam

[versusnurture]

I don't know. I guess if you have magic, they could do anything.

spam

[whatthewrackspurt]

No, all they can do is fly, really.

spam

[versusnurture]

Oh. Well.

I guess flying's fine if that's what you're into.

[She wants one :<]

spam

[whatthewrackspurt]

I prefer to stay mostly on the ground, but I like to watch others at it.

spam

[versusnurture]

Do you do that a lot? Watch people?

spam

[whatthewrackspurt]

Sometimes. Especially here, yes.

spam

[versusnurture]

I do, too. It's safer.

spam

[whatthewrackspurt]

Safer than talking to them?

spam

[versusnurture]

Most of the time. Yes.

spam

[whatthewrackspurt]

Are you worried they'll disappoint you?

spam

[versusnurture]

That's close enough, I guess.

spam

[whatthewrackspurt]

Scared you'll be hurt?
