[Day 329] In Bloom Event/Dance Mingle
[DAYTIME: Walking in a floral wonderland. Not to be confused with an actual wonderland. ~~Completely different event.~~ You could be anywhere and everywhere today and not escape the petals.

DANCE: The sector 2 garden is a little extra pleasant and inviting this evening. Gentle breeze, beautiful flowers, delicious hor d'oeuvres, sparkling punch, and music. And dry. Did we mention it's dry? Not a single flood as far as the eye can see. So, find someone and get out there and dance.]

(OOC: Event INFO. Feel free to have your mingle set up cover both aspects of the day.)

	It was only like four years ago. [Weird had become normal so fast, but it kind of had to. They'd been thrown into it all so quickly that they didn't really have time to slowly adjust and learn.] We had to get used to it fast. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

To being normal? To not having to worry about being killed by demons or chased down because we're the "Charmed Ones"? Back to thinking my husband was just our handyman and not our angel-like magical protector in disguise? To thinking that my mom just drowned in a horrible accident at a summer camp and wasn't killed by a water demon? Back to having my sister Prue alive? Yeah. Sometimes.

[That came out really harsh and heavy. Way more than she had intended it to. Her sarcasm in pretending it wasn't as heavy as it really was sounded awfully bitter, too. She shook her head.]

Sorry. I just... it's really confusing and really hard. I do want to go back. All the time. But, at the same time, I don't. There have been times that, for whatever reason, I've found myself without my powers, and it's just as scary now not to have them as it was to suddenly have them back then.

And, yes, my husband is a magical being, too, and I have to accept the fact that he has powers, and my son now has powers, too, and I have to be open to that. And we have to make sure that Wyatt learns to use his powers the right way as he grows up. And going back to "normal" and pretending we don't have them won't really change anything in the end.

[Especially because, as she really thought about it, her boyfriend at the time her powers were unsealed turned out to be a warlock who had been searching for them and hoping to kill them before they're powers awakened and got too strong. So, they'd been in danger anyway, even not knowing everything about themselves.]

	You don't have to apologize. I get it. I really get it. The wanting to go back and the knowing you never can. Not really. Once you know about these things even if you could walk away, you'd still know it's out there and if you couldn't remember you'd just be vulnerable.

	[She nodded.] Yeah. We didn't realize how vulnerable we were before. And then it turned out that there had been people waiting for us. Like they knew anyway. If we'd never gotten out powers in the first place, we might have just been killed off no matter what. So, in a way, it's better. We at least have a way to defend ourselves now.

	You think you're in control of you life and then you realize fate had plans for you before you even came along. [Okay, he may be talking about himself, but he has a feeling things are lining up for her too.] It's better to have the fighting chance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Definitely. [She took a deep breath, watching everyone else for a moment.] Kind of downer conversation, though, considering the atmosphere. Don't you think? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He smiles and exhales.] I guess it is. Read any good books lately? [He'll do his best to keep it light as they dance even if it fades to black!] (Reply to this) (Parent)
