[pause of a minute or so.]
Whoops, sorry. I didn't know my journal was sitting there.
This probably means we're going to have monsters under our beds this weekend too. Be careful, everyone. I think getting a flashlight would be a good idea for anyone that doesn't have magic and who doesn't want to sleep with a weapon close to hand. The one I found seemed to hate the light as much as the spell I hit him with.
And if the light itself doesn't work, you can always wallop them with the flashlight. It should still make them think twice.
[ooc: The monster under Krile's bed? A nine-foot centipede thing. Fortunately not the actual specimen.
Housemates, feel free to have heard, smelled, and/or seen a small lightning strike in Krile's room in the wee hours of the morning.]

[although she could conceivably conjure giant flaming rocks to pelt enemies with, a small nuclear explosion, a megablast of pure holy energy....]

[You crazy FF people.]

Date: 2010-09-19 03:08 am (UTC)Well--it's magic. I have [more curlicue doodles] energy inside that I use to cast it. You don't have anything like that?
[Hey, at least FFV doesn't stick emotionally unstable--or outright mentally ill--people into giant robots FOR WORLD PEACE.]

Date: 2010-09-19 03:30 am (UTC)I don't think so. It seems like something that really shouldn't be possible but... well. I've been proved wrong on that point more than enough times.
[True. But in some cases they make the emotionally unstable/mentally ill people out of Genova cells.]

Date: 2010-09-19 04:02 am (UTC)It might not be something that exists where you're from, I guess. It seems normal to me, but things like microwaves sure don't.
[well true. But at least that doesn't happen in her game!
They just have a crossdressing pirate gal, an insanely altruistic princess, an amnesiac old man, and a hobo-on-a-chocobo. Plus some little girl mascot they shoved in the party at the last minute, ugh.]

Date: 2010-09-19 04:18 am (UTC)Just one of those weird things that comes with being from different places, I guess.
[Colourful group, that.]

Date: 2010-09-19 05:24 am (UTC)Probably. I think the magic will be easier to show than explain, though.

Date: 2010-09-19 05:57 am (UTC)Probably so. Want to add a session of show-and-tell to the range time?
