Briar #14
Oi. Who's got my magic? This sort of thing is considered very taboo where I come from, although I appreciate it's another amusing Vallo quirk, it doesn't mean I have to like it.

	Not me. Is your magic kind of weak with a side of wanting to read everything? Because that's my problem right now. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ah. Sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rebelgirl 2024-03-12 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	It's not a big deal, I've actually been enjoying the downtime to focus on reading. Usually I'm way too scattered to concentrate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Please feel free to make use of the Great Library. Or if you prefer, my private library has a good many books about British magic that you're welcome to peruse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rebelgirl 2024-03-12 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I think the good news is I didn't get your interests along with your abilities, so your private library is probably safe unless you have a lot of manga. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hedgemage 2024-03-12 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	I might. What is manga? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'd know if you knew, I think! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	briarmoss 2024-03-12 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	I don't thing wanting to read everything can be magic related, can it? As it is I keep looking at things and wanting to draw them, but it might just be going out of my mind not being able to talk to plants right now. I haven't done this since I was twelve and it's not fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rebelgirl 2024-03-12 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	I think the hyperfocus and retention might be, or maybe it's more than just magic. Skills and such, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	briarmoss 2024-03-12 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	Hm perhaps. I wonder if that extends to things like muscle memory. You can know how to use a knife but that doesn't mean your body will react to an attack if you haven't actually done it before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rebelgirl 2024-03-12 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	Who knows with Vallo? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	unlikelyrider 2024-03-12 02:57 pm UTC (link)
	With your magic do you just know? Or does it take a lot of training and practice? Because I can't feel anything but a few people have told me it might just take practice. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	briarmoss 2024-03-12 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't know initially, but I was also untrained. I think that if you had my magic now you'd know about it, especially if you didn't know how to control it properly - things would start growing everywhere around you, for a start. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unlikelyrider 2024-03-12 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. Fuck, yeah, not me. Okay back to the drawing board. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hey. Bishop. Can it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeve 2024-03-12 08:19 pm UTC (link)
	Rude. This is what you signed up for when you moved in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragon 2024-03-12 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	Is it though? Because last I checked, you weren't actually living there when I moved in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeve 2024-03-12 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	Still my house, Leon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not saying it's not! Just saying that I didn't sign up for jack shit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeve 2024-03-12 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	Well, whatever, you're getting it anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I’m putting you both in a get along shirt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeve 2024-03-12 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	We’re getting along fine. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	briarmoss 2024-03-12 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose you could put it that way, yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragon 2024-03-12 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	Okay cool. Real quick, what the fuck. [Attached is a photo of Gattolotto. Her vines have completely taken over the wall of a very messy bedroom, and have enveloped what looks to have been a bed. There are more photos of her taking over most of the two attached walls.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	briarmoss 2024-03-12 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	Well, that brings back some memories. You might have to take a few deep breaths and ask nicely for your room back. Very nicely. Plants love to grow but they're usually extremely stubborn about going in reverse. Do you know how to meditate? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragon 2024-03-13 03:45 am UTC (link)
	Uh... no. Should I know how to meditate? I'll ask her. Maybe she'll listen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	briarmoss 2024-03-13 04:43 am UTC (link)
	It helps if you do; it'll stop the magic running all over the place and getting out of control. Do you want me to show you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragon 2024-03-13 04:58 am UTC (link)
	Actually yeah, that might be a good call. Like look, I like Gattolotto and all, but this is too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	briarmoss 2024-03-13 05:14 am UTC (link)
	I'll come over. Wouldn't want you to, you know, accidentally kill anyone or disrupt the local ecosystem or anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragon 2024-03-13 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, thanks for that boost of confidence. I'm over at [Black Widow House address] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	hawkeve 2024-03-12 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	Nothing here, sorry Briar. I'm sure they'll come back! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	briarmoss 2024-03-12 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	I hope so; I don't like this. I haven't lost my magic since my sister borrowed it when I was twelve to spin it, and that was necessary. What did you get, anything? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeve 2024-03-12 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	I bet it feels so weird to be without. The closest I can imagine is if I suddenly couldn’t hit a target to save my life. I guess I need to start taking a better look at Leon’s room, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's like losing a sense. Somewhere in between being suddenly deaf or blind. I don't even mind not being able to use magic, it's just disconcerting not having any awareness of what's going on outside of what I can physically touch, see and hear.

Aye, that's going to get difficult to clean up if he doesn't get it under control. I once destroyed an entire mansion house with nothing but plant life. On purpose, but still. I wouldn't make him extra emotional, if I were you.
