that old black magic

"Got a black magic woman // I got a black magic woman // Yes, I got a black magic woman // Got me so blind I can't see // But she's a black magic woman // And she's tryin' to make a devil out of me"

Evie: I see! Your beauty rest was well recharged last night! I'll definitely stop by if I'm not busy. I always love to support!

Ophelia: Awesome! See you there.

marcoalandale‌:

Ooooh, sounds cool! I’d love to see a drawing of something like that, for sure. I bet I’ll like it no matter what, honestly, I’m really easy to please.

Awesome! You could also just close your eyes and let me make something up from scratch if you so dare.

Uma: Just for a little bit? Being a pirate's a way of life, not some phase. If you're just experimenting you're better off finding a different boat.

Uma: I'm not saying people can't do that kind of stuff with each other, I'm saying they can wait and do it while we're docked somewhere. If it's been broken the people breaking it are way better at keeping secrets than you two are; I'd have made them walk the plank if they let their feelings get in the way of their sailing.

Ophelia: I thought I made it pretty clear that I'm not looking to Become A Pirate, I just want to learn from you guys and see what it's all about because I have a lot of respect for you. It's just not something I'd want to do full-time.

Ophelia: I don't think your feelings have to get in the way of your sailing though, necessarily? I doubt people would be skipping their duties to go fuck below deck.

Virginia: The one good thing Twilight did for society, I suppose, encouraging vampires to find other methods of feeding to sustain themselves. Though I'm sure that happens in superior vampire series as well, I just haven't taken the time to read those. Hmm. That's a bit twisted, but now I want to think about it too instead of just immediately vetoing the concept. What about it felt romantic to you?

Ophelia: I'm more in to vampires in the horror genre than the romance genre, so I wouldn't know. And I think it's the idea of sacrificing a part of your vitality and life essence to sustain your lovers. Plus I just think it's kinda hot.

Dude, don’t get your hopes up, that’s definitely secret societies. We wear robes at like, initiation, toga parties, and graduation, other than that we’re pretty normally clothed. Or basically naked but like, that’s normal.

You guys walk around the house naked? Wow. I mean, sure, there are some guys in your frat I wouldn’t hate to see naked, but for the most part... yikes.

Adriane: I've wondered the same thing, ngl. it seems like a waste to have a fake one when you can actually need a real one

Ophelia: Like, commit to the aesthetic, yknow? To think I actually used to have a crush on that guy

Evie: oh but that's so exciting! when is your recital? you can always reply in the morning if you're too tired.

Ophelia: Lmao so I slept for like 14 hours. Good job I don't have class until Friday. It's March 20th! Would love to see you there but don't feel obligated.

DJ: Uhhh. Chad's obsessed with himself, Ben's kind of like a robot who gives answers that are 'for the good of the kingdom' and is too careful to not piss anyone off ever. Jeremy's a total random and I don't get how the hell he missed the memo that this is a frat full of royalty, and I think him being the president has gotta be a prank somehow. And uh... who am I forgetting? Gotta be someone.

Ophelia: No offense but that sounds super boring. I mean, I don't have anything against any of those guys, but I was hoping you'd tell me one of them is actually really weird or has a deep, dark terrible secret. But no, they really are just a bunch of sweater-tied-around-polo-shirt-wearing, wholesome, boring rich dudes :(

That’s a tough one! I guess first and foremost, I’m all about my violin. I love music, playing it and making it and all that. I also love my home in Sherwood! I love the trees and some of the critters. I love my dad and sisters, the Hoods, uh, crunchy leaves, going on adventures, doughnuts, Corn Nuts, nuts in general, the color green… Any of that help?

That helps massively! You’ve given me a lot to work with. How about a violin covered in leaves and branches? Anyway, I can design something for you and you can tell me if you like it and if you don’t I can rework it.

Mal: Queen shit, but yeah, kind of. Everyone was afraid of me and my mom, and people are afraid of us sometimes here, too, but... it's different. Fear doesn't equal respect the way it did back on the Isle, and surprisingly the being respected part was the part I actually liked. You never know. I bet you'd have made the right choice, too, if it really came down to it.

Ophelia: You put it in to words! It's a different kind of fear here. Like a fear of diseased rats. They hate us and we inconvenience them but they can ultimately keep us under control. I don't know about that, but I appreciate your faith in me.

Yeah, sure, whatever you say on that front. Covens seem like a fancy word for cults to me but frats and srats can get culty so like, you can have that one. And sure thing – just don’t bring any random dudes, we’re all for hot chicks from wherever, but dudes who aren’t brothers can find their own thing unless they’re wanting to join. 

I was gonna say, I’m pretty sure you guys do some of the like, hooded robes and ritualistic chanting and stuff too. Or is that secret societies? Are there even any secret societies at ASU? Alrighty, that’s fine by me.

If you need practice, I’d be glad to help! I’ve always wanted a tattoo and I don’t mind if it has a little wrong with it – flaws add character. What kind of thing would you draw on me?

I like the way you think. And it all depends! Tell me about things that are important to you, symbolism that resonates, hobbies, etc, and we can go from there.

Virginia: I thought perhaps there were some in Halloweentown, but I was under the impression that they didn't enjoy traveling to other parts of the country seeing as we refuse their pleas to celebrate Halloween 365 days a year. Perhaps they've ventured out; I wonder what that mans for the parts of the population who aren't accustomed to living with beings typically considered 'monsters.'

Ophelia: I guess most of them don't drink human blood now for fear of being sent to the Isle? I don't know the specific laws on consensual blood drinking, though. Some people have a legit fetish for letting vampires drink from them. Other people just do it out of the goodness of their hearts. I always thought it'd be kind of romantic to let a vampire I was dating drink from me, though.
