Being on the VIP list for Looking-Glass Teas means, apparently, that since the place is still here despite the owner having disappeared I'm still the VIP and someone has to run it. Is that someone me, you ask?

No, it's not.

I'm giving that part to my assistant Wanda. Though I'm certain she'd take input from the masses about the best whimsical tea parties and blends anyone's heart can conjure. Maybe we should team up with the yogurt place that also invokes emotion, even if all these food feelings are really starting to make me itchy.

Any would-be tea sommeliers inquire with her. I'm also not doing the hiring.

	They're probably the kind of people that don't use turn signals or know how to correctly replace empty toilet paper rolls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yikes. Or people who bring their giant suitcases on the airplane and act like they're surprised that it won't fit in the overhead compartment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Those people are the worst. Them and the ones who just let doors slam in your face when you have both arms full carrying things. Humanity doesn't give me much hope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No? Should we change your name to Dr. Cynical? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	May as well. It would be accurate - and not the worst thing I've been called. How've you been, by the way? Practicing that magic? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fine, fine. As good as being trapped in a dimensional holding place can be! Magic the Gathering, card tricks, or ~reality altering~? Best to be specific. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mysticism 2021-04-03 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	All of the above? Though I'm not sure what Magic the Gathering is. The reality altering, if you need any space to keep up with that I can open the Mirror Dimension for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would be surprised if you did, actually. ~~I probably could try to open it my~~ What's the benefit of doing anything there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is it a game? And whatever happens in the Mirror Dimension doesn't affect the Material Plane - so it's a place where I trained with more advanced spells, when I was still studying with the Ancient One. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Deck-building, card collecting game, yeah. That...might not be a terrible idea, thanks. Maybe to try, once. ~~My training's mostly been~~ I basically learned magic through self-help books and really really wanting things, so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Interesting way to learn. Did Magic the Gathering also play a role in learning? But you're always welcome at the Sanctum. I'd be happy to help you too - and I actually mean that, I'm not just saying that because it's the polite thing to do since I don't do polite. Much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demiurging 2021-04-04 12:52 am UTC (link)
	No, that was just for fun. But the self-help books--it's all visualization. My mom's a psychiatrist, we had plenty of them laying around. And channeling what you want to happen and making that happen. I want something to happen, it happens. Awwwwwww. You're not Dr. Cynical, you're Dr. Squishy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Makes sense, in a way. Meditation was an important part of my training, so it's sort of similar - learning about chakras, and coming to know your own heart and your own mind through meditation, that sort of thing. Ugh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can't take it back. It's in writing now. (Reply to this) (Parent)
