1st Spell - Video

[whatthewrackspurt]

Hello, everyone.

I've never been on a ship like this before. Or any ship, really, so I can't say for certain whether the person in charge is always so elusive when it comes to answering questions. I suspect he thinks it's all in good fun, making you believe one thing but telling you another. I don't think I understand his humor, though.

I'm a little concerned about having made a deal with him - he could be one of the Rotfang conspirators in disguise and is set on prolonging this journey indefinitely until all our worlds are nothing but dust and spores.

Is that why all of you are having such strange dreams?

Either way, I hope there's pudding involved. It makes death seem just a little bit cheerier. I think that's why people eat so much at funerals.

Ghosts must get very jealous during mealtimes.

Yeah, I mean...things here are a lot different than where I'm from and it's all been okay. [Mostly. At least in that aspect of things.]

Ah, I see. Well, that's always gonna be a hurdle, I expect. The workin' with someone who should be dead thing. I'm sure you'll deal with it just fine.

[strangehistorian]

It's always open! We have a few days until the next crisis, at least, so there's plenty of time.

[persecutioncomplex]

Why bad teeth?

[versusnurture]

Specifically, my name is Abigail.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Hello, Abigail. My name is Luna, specifically, although I'm not sure if that's a comforting fact by itself.

I think I'm a warden, but that could all be conjecture.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Have you ever tried to concentrate while having a painful toothache? It's quite impossible.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Oh, I like a library without restrictions. At Hogwarts we're not allowed in the library after hours.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Where is it you're from?

[whatthewrackspurt]

I do hope so. It's all a bit fascinating, really: the dead coming back to life. It's not usually something they like to do.

[persecutioncomplex]

I think he might be more creative.

[whatthewrackspurt]

I hope so. I think I've left my toothbrush back home.

[persecutioncomplex]

Now you're probably giving him ideas.

[whatthewrackspurt]

If he's as creative as you say, then probably not. There are much worse things than toothaches. Should I list some?

[persecutioncomplex]

[oh god luna no]

He's usually extravagant. You're encouraging simplicity.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Are simple things usually worse than extravagant ones? That seems backwards.

[strangehistorian]

We'll usually lock the doors at night so the staff can get some sleep, but if you're just in there to read it shouldn't be too much of a problem!

[whatthewrackspurt]

Are there spellbooks? I'd like to know what spells exist in other worlds. The ones with magic, of course.

[onecertainly]

[There's a 3 second pause in which an intense battle wages within Archie over whether he should touch first on the dental hygiene or the dark magic.

In the end there could only be one winner:]

...Are they dentists?

[whatthewrackspurt]

No. They flee when they're approached with floss.

[persecutioncomplex]

The more detailed and refined, the more specialized it is. Simple tools have the most uses, don't they?

[strangehistorian]

Oh, yes! We have a whole section for them.

[onecertainly]

Floss?

[okay straying a bit from the slightly more pressing dark magic, but dental floss hasn't been invented yet where he's from. Clearly the Rotfangs would like it there.]

[whatthewrackspurt]

Piece of string that you use to clean your teeth with. It's quite handy for keeping away the Rotfangs, and also gum disease. I'll show you, if you like.

[whatthewrackspurt]

That's good, then. Most people don't let Muggles read about magic.
