✧Day 229✧[VIDEO]✧
[Zatanna appears...upside-down. Somewhat. She's laying on her bed in her room, hair hanging down over the edge, eyes glancing far upward so they can meet with the communicator screen. Her skin is a bit darker than usual, with noticeable patches of pink on her nose, cheeks, and shoulders.]

[A softly snoring puppy rests at her feet. Otherwise, the only sound in the room is the air conditioner blasting from her window.]

I think they lied about the temperature. No way this is only ninety degrees. Either the Wardens are trying to bake us, or...actually, no, that's all I've got.

Wake me when the weather's no longer trying to kill us.

Unless you have ice cream. Then we'll talk.

[Given the context of the conversation, and the joking manner behind it, she didn't even bat an eyelash at the sound of "experience". Assuming that was him pretending.]

To be fair, it's hard to buy something when you don't actually have any money.

I remember the first time I went to a restaurant here. We basically dine and ditched, except it was all free anyway.

	Yeah? I don't think I'm ever going to get used to everything being free. [Mainly because he feels like it's encouraging his inner kleptomaniac.] Though I've gotta admit, it makes getting food a lot easier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's what I thought at first, too. Give it time. Assuming we don't all manage to magically make parole before then. [People leave. She still hasn't figured out how or why, but she knows it's possible.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aren't all sentences for life? [He tilts his head at her slightly, almost forgetting his current spoonful of ice cream.] How the crap - er, crab do people get out of here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-08-13 03:52 pm UTC (link)
	If I knew that, I wouldn't still be here right now. And they say life sentence, but a lot've people have left since I arrived...including Robin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-08-16 02:34 am UTC (link)
	Oh. [He'd honestly been avoiding the topic of Robin, because it was pretty obvious how close they'd been...] Y'all've started to look into that, right? I knew there was a lot they weren't telling us about this place, but I wouldn't have guessed that people just... left. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course I've been looking into it. Been at the Library almost every day since he left. I never used to study this hard for school. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Half of the stuff they teach you's useless, anyhow. I'm still not sure how I managed to graduate. [Mainly because Chloe found out and went all Watchtower on his sorry butt...] They don't have a history section here, right? Were you looking up computer-science geek stuff? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-08-19 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	Not exactly. Myths, mostly, and a few other old fairy tales. You'd be surprised how many hints of spells can be found in the stories. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-08-21 02:50 am UTC (link)
	You're right - I am pretty surprised. [He knows he's not as booksmart as some of the other League members, but to think that there'd be magic hidden in fairy tales? That blew his mind.] So it's like, you pick up a fairy tale and bam, there's a hint for something you could cast later? Or do the spells in those actually work? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-08-21 11:16 am UTC (link)
	A little of both. Some stories are more useful than others. I think I found one that actually does work on its own. The rest are bits and pieces I've been piecing together since. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-08-22 02:57 pm UTC (link)
	Cool. Are there any other witches here? Or uh, magicians? I forget what you call yourself, but y'all should compare notes. I know Kitty and I've been doing that for phasing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-08-22 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	Homo magi, if you please. [Actually, no, she doesn't really care what you call her, as long as it's not meant as an insult.] And, yeah, I know a few other magic users. We've traded off a few spells here and there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-08-23 12:21 am UTC (link)
	[He makes a mental note of it!] Must've been pretty interesting. I've got no magic whatsoever, but just thinking about that kind of spell trading? That sounds pretty darn fantastic. [Bart mimics some flashy handwaving motion:] Alakazam! Or well, mazakala! Something like that, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-08-23 12:23 am UTC (link)
	Actually, I tend to prefer arbadacarba-- [She holds out one hand, and a tophat suddenly appears. Letting it roll up her arm a little, she smoothly twirls it right onto her head in one clean movement.] --myself. [And smirks.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-08-23 02:42 am UTC (link)
	[Cue the applause! The very soft applause since they're still technically in the library.] I've gotta say, I'm impressed. When'd you say your next performance was? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-08-23 03:15 pm UTC (link)
	Whenever you like. Give me half a day's notice, and I'm sure I could put together a little something for you. If you want. (Reply to this) (Parent)
