Glimpse to the past.

Send “Glimpse to the past” For a random memory from my muses childhood.

It’s two in the morning, on New Year’s Day, in a dusty old brick building in San Francisco. Madeleine and Theo have not slept for forty-eight hours, and that they are conscious at all is a testament to the ungodly amounts of caffeine and they have consumed, since both their teachers had the good sense to forbid drinking until the end of their apprenticeships. Those teachers are somewhere in Italy, drinking to excess; this is okay because, they said, they are mature and responsible magic-users who know better than to work magic while impaired. However, this means that two sugar-high apprentices have been left unsupervised in a very nice experimental workspace.

They have moved from the large main room into a long hallway with a fairly smooth and clean concrete floor. Theo is sitting on that floor with a piece of chalk in each hand, working on an equation that runs up and down the hall four and a half times. Madeleine is bouncing back and forth down the hall with a ball of yarn in her hand, knotting spells from three different weaving- and knot-langages into a humming web of light. Both are chattering excitedly, half-formed strings of magical technobabble that perhaps nine or ten other people in the world would understand.

“Alright alright alright I got it, there’s like one to go!” says Theo, and Madeleine pulls two ends of yarn tight. “Okay okay do it!” she says, jittery with excitement. He waves the chalk in the air mock-solemnly, but can’t keep a straight face. They both dissolve into giggles for a few minutes. “Okay,” says Theo, “okay, hold onto your hair, I’m gonna do it—” and he sets chalk to concrete, fills in the final variable, and closes the parentheses.

The world spins around them, and Madeleine trips over her own left foot but does not fall as the hallway shivers and quivers and squirms in space; suddenly she has only a few inches to fall, and she finds herself leaning on her elbows on the floor as the walls go solid again. They both lift their heads, suddenly breathless with anticipation, and look down the hallway, first one way, then the other.

“Ohmygosh, it actually worked,” says Madeleine.

“Ye gods and little fishes,” says Theo, pushing himself to his knees to get a better look at the Moebius strip they have made. The floor seems curved, but not curved at all, at the same time.

The look at each other. Someone’s lips twitch, and then they both lose it again. Hours later, when their teachers return, they will still be sprawled on the floor, loose-limbed and sugar-giddy, laughing helplessly at their absurd creation.

And if it takes a while to realize they didn’t build in a way to get out—well. Everyone does stupid stuff in college, and it’ll make a great story someday.

"I genuinely do not understand why someone would put time, effort, and magic into developing subterranean-dwelling mosquitoes."

"Just... why?"

#there's a large roll of fabric in this pattern #sitting under a basket of left gloves and next to an umbrella that was turned to glass when it was left half open #if you unfold the fabric and drape it over your shoulders and look up #you will find that you can see illustrations in the sky; the constellations as pictured by a dreamy artist with a knack for magical weaving #things in the shop

So,

if I ever:

Drop an RP without notice

Say ‘yes let’s RP!’ and then quit answering

Say I’ll post a starter and then don’t

Don’t respond to your starter

It’s because I forgot.

NEVER FEEL BAD ABOUT REMINDING ME.

#and my forgetting does NOT mean it's unimportant to me #it just means i am a goof with a terrible memory #and also studying abroad so life is a little on the hectic side #ooc

"I agree completely," Will replied. Though it was not quite as hazardous an event for himself as it was for the woman, he would have had to use certain Words of Power that he did not like referring to commonly, if ever. Sure power could be unwieldy and it was better not to use it at all.

Taking a handkerchief out his pocket, he absentmindedly cleaned his hands as he considered the question. For the Time, there was not anyone besides himself who would be able to reach the knife should they want to, but he knew the woman asked for something a touch more precise than that. “Out of reach of the makers of that knife. Of course, they find themselves similarly indisposed.”

A grim smile danced on his mouth, a rather vacant, old expression, and one that quickly danced away as the woman continued to speak. He laughed. “A lunch would be lovely, though I don’t mean to impose.”

Good to know, she thought, though it sounded as though there was a story there. She didn’t feel the need to push: the immediate crisis was over, and lunch was sounding more and more inviting.

“You wouldn’t be imposing,” she assured him. “The coffee table can cook for two as easily as for one. It’s no trouble at all.”

She walked back to the doorway, peeling off the gloves and dropping them in the basket below the shelf. “It’s this way,” she said, holding the door and gesturing across the hall the way they had come earlier. There was a second curtain-covered doorway near the back of the Shop; this one led to a warm, bright room filled with an eclectic collection of armchairs and one paisley beanbag chair. There was a brick fireplace at the far end of the room, and a pair of wooden chests on either side of it; in the corner nearest the door there was a tiny counter, with just enough space for a kettle atop it and a basket of tea-canisters hanging below. There was an old wooden coffee table in the precise center of the room, and everything else was subtly arranged around it.
