What? No. I don't want this!

A wizard has to be involved in this somehow. Zemenar? Antorell? You'll send me back to Kazul right now if you know what's good for you.

	Most people assume a wizard did it. It's a pretty fair guess, actually. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Here, this will explain it.] Insert token joke about how ugly the site is, blah blah blah. Don't worry. You'll get used to it. What's your name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justnotdone 2011-12-07 04:34 am UTC (link)
	Oh. Ouch. I.. I'm not sure that 'site' is something I want to get used to. I can't read half of that. I'm Cimorene, Kazul's princess. Or Head Cook and Librarian, we haven't ironed out the title yet. It's a bit of a fuss, politics and all. It says we can't get back, though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Stuck, I'm afraid. The site you don't have to get used to, it just explains the whole mess to the new arrivals. I'm Leandra. Don't panic, it's really not that bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was really quite happy with the way things were going before this 'vortex' decided to drop me here. If I'd wanted to be dragged back to a castle, I would've let one of the knights do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wittyoneliners 2011-12-07 04:42 am UTC (link)
	Well, if it makes you feel better, monarchy is sort of lax these days. You can probably leave the castle if you'd like without hounds baying or anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justnotdone 2011-12-07 04:45 am UTC (link)
	Do you think so? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wittyoneliners 2011-12-07 04:46 am UTC (link)
	Can't hurt to try. If you want, I can meet up with you. Need to hit a mall anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justnotdone 2011-12-07 04:49 am UTC (link)
	What's a mall? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wittyoneliners 2011-12-07 04:50 am UTC (link)
	Sort of hard to explain. Think of a marketplace with elevator music. Don't ask what an elevator is, you'll see when we get there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justnotdone 2011-12-07 04:55 am UTC (link)
	All right. How will I find you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wittyoneliners 2011-12-07 04:56 am UTC (link)
	Well, what are you princess of? I'll meet you there. Look around for something to identify your nation. Palaces are big on maps, aren't they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You mean now? Well... Is Norway a kingdom? I think it's Norway. I would think so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wittyoneliners 2011-12-07 05:02 am UTC (link)
	Norway. Okay, if you can get past the gates, I'll meet you there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't get out. They keep dragging me back. Something about a wedding in the morning. Dear Lord, I hope it isn't mine. Clearly this will take some planning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wittyoneliners 2011-12-07 05:28 am UTC (link)
	Well, trust me, you definately can't get forced into marriage here. Not in Norway, at least. Planning. I'm good at planning. Also sneaking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justnotdone 2011-12-07 05:32 am UTC (link)
	That's a relief. As long as it isn't my wedding, I should have time to wait until people are a bit more relaxed. Weddings are good distractions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wittyoneliners 2011-12-07 05:34 am UTC (link)
	The wedding is tomorrow and it's in England. You're safe, never fear. Give me five minutes. We might not be able to get out, but I should be able to explain things better face to face. Besides, I need the practice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	England? That's where all the Jacks come from, I think. All right, then. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hey, we're not all that bad. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	What? Wizards? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofasorcerer 2011-12-07 04:38 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. Wizards. Some of us aren't up to things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All of the ones I've met have been. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofasorcerer 2011-12-07 04:48 am UTC (link)
	Well, you'll find that most of the magic users here aren't really like that. A few probably are, just like a few non-magic users are like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justnotdone 2011-12-07 04:52 am UTC (link)
	It's not the magic bit. One of my good friends is a witch. It's the 'magic-stealing staff' and the 'grand society' bit. I suppose they must not have always been bad, though. The dragons used to have an arrangement with them, after all. Maybe it's just bad leadership. You're a wizard, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Magic stealing? How would you steal magic? That doesn't really make... too many different kinds of magic.

Yes. I mean, wizard or sorcerer. Seeing as I grew up here we aren't so keen on titles. To me there isn't much difference between a witch and a wizard. But I guess that's different where you come from. Where one of my best friends comes from magic users are called mages.

I'm rambling now.

Did you say dragons?

Their staffs do it. Leech magic from whatever items or magical creatures are around. It's why dragons are allergic to them.

You don't look much like a wizard. I mean, you don't have a beard. I suppose I haven't really met too many of them.

I couldn't really tell you the difference between wizards and witches and the court magician, as far as spells go. I know a bit of magic, but nothing that specific. Mainly the differences I see are in their philosophies; trying to get power and steal magic where they can. If that isn't your philosophy... Well, then I don't see a reason why we should have any problems.

And, er. Yes. Dragons. I lived in their mountains. Before I came here.

	Dragons are allergic to wizards? Cool. I mean not cool. Just that's...interesting. You're not the first person to say I need a beard. I don't think it will happen. It'd make me look like my dad. That must have been really cool. I net you could learn a lot from dragons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justnotdone 2011-12-08 03:57 am UTC (link)
	Well, allergic to their staffs, specifically. I don't think you need a beard. It would make you look more wizardy, but I think you look fine now. It's a good fit for me. I have learned a lot. Kazul has quite the library. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofasorcerer 2011-12-08 04:24 am UTC (link)
	Fascinating. Like I said, more like my father. That sounds great. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justnotdone 2011-12-08 04:34 am UTC (link)
	I miss it already. I'm a bit curious about you. You're the first nice wizard I've met. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofasorcerer 2011-12-08 04:41 am UTC (link)
	I'm sure you'll meet a lot more. Most of the wizards I've met have been pretty cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justnotdone 2011-12-08 05:10 am UTC (link)
	That's good. I think. I'm Cimorene, by the way. I'd like to learn a little about the sort of magic you do, I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofasorcerer 2011-12-08 05:14 am UTC (link)
	I'm Gaius. I'd love to show you! Oh! And maybe you can teach me a little about the magic where you come from. I'm actually studying how different magics work and interact with each other. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justnotdone 2011-12-08 05:23 am UTC (link)
	Nice to meet you, Gaius. I'll teach you what I can. I'm afraid my father stopped my magic lessons before I got very far, but I know a few spells I learned when I lived with Kazul that I could show you. You don't happen to have any powdered hens teeth, do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofasorcerer 2011-12-08 05:28 am UTC (link)
	Maybe we could teach you a few more spells. I don't. No. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justnotdone 2011-12-08 05:30 am UTC (link)
	I'd like that. Drat. Well, I'll keep looking. (Reply to this) (Parent)
