[Arthur hadn't actually been awake the last time he'd appeared on one of these ships, but at least there'd been a bit of forewarning this time. Still, he was left blinking with surprise at the fluttering confetti as he appeared on the bridge of, apparently, his new ship.]

Well, that's... festive.

Comments

[experiencepoints]

Huh. Another new person already?

[She waves a hand, and a gust of wind sweeps around, gathering all the loose confetti into a neat pile.]

[english_dignity]

Looks like. Arthur Kirkland. Useful talent you have there.

[Pleased to see bits of magic, oh yes.]

[experiencepoints]

Nightingale. It's nice to meet you... Arthur?

[She never knows whether people go by first or last names.]

It's just basic magic.

[english_dignity]

Arthur is fine. It's nice to meet you, Nightingale.

[Strange name, but maybe her parents were hippies? Has heard stranger.]

Not many people still use magic where I'm from.

[experiencepoints]

Right.

[that gets a weird look.]

... Well, not many people using it is still better than all the people I've heard telling me that magic doesn't exist.

[english_dignity]

[Huffs in irritation, but not at her.]

I've gotten that one all the time. People get very stubborn about it.

[experiencepoints]

[okay she likes you already]

Right? I swear, next time someone tries to tell me that, I'm just going to break out Fire spells instead.

[english_dignity]

[Will add her to the long list then! (Well, long like a mostly blank roll of receipt paper, but that's beside the point!)]

Oh that does sound tempting. Though is it terribly safe to do on a space ship?

[experiencepoints]

... It's a fire spell, it's not meant to be 'safe'. But I don't see why the location matters?

[english_dignity]

[Oh dear.]

Safe to you, miss. If something catches. Something you didn't want to catch.

[Like the ship.]

[experiencepoints]

... That's not how spells work...

[she says it like it should be obvious.]

[english_dignity]

It is in my experience.

[Considers it for a moment.]

In which case, it's likely that we practice different kinds of magic.

[experiencepoints]

Probably. My magic doesn't affect anything other than what I tell it to, so don't worry about that.

[english_dignity]

That sounds mighty useful. Afraid mine doesn't work that way.
