exsilium | First Curse

[Currently, the netbook is upside down when it's finally turned on, so there's a weird angle on the young woman's face as she leans into super close to the screen. Seriously, she spent about twenty minutes pressing buttons and commanding the mirror to turn on. Anyone paying attention to the network probably saw a lot of keysmashing and hearing her say some crap like "Mirror Mirror". :| It's pretty embarrassing.] This is a piece of junk. Is this like one of the magic mirrors I've heard about? Because it's no wonder only witches have them.

[Her cheeks puff out a bit as she moves back, and while the video is still upside down, you can make out that while the girl is pretty, her dark hair is messy and full of leaves, her clothes are slightly dirty, and she's scowling pretty intensely.] I am sick of magic. And also people holding me against my will. [The girl taps at the screen, hard.] Or people using me for their own means. [Basically? There's a long list of things that Belle is sick of.]

Send me home. I will make any deal you want, give you anything you ask for.

What is this 'magic mirror'?

[A pause.] They are meant to be enchanted looking glasses. I've heard a few witches specialize in them, and they're supposed to be useful. [The girl frowns.] Although, I suppose this one has its uses as well.

[ More of this magic nonsense? ]

It's based on a netbook computer. There's nothing magical about it.

[Magic's everywhere, man.]

A... what? [Oh look, she's finally stopped scowling.]

[ All magic does is obstruct justice! ]

A computer. You're unfamiliar?

[There is no justice!]

No, I've just been acting like a fool to trick you all. [Sarcasm~]

[ NOOOOOoooo ]

What year is it, where you're from?

[is that the sound of your heart breaking?]

It is the year 227.

[ It is. What is he supposed to love in the absence of justice? ]

You're quite a long time from home.

[ There's a smirk on his lips - that was almost a joke. ]

Nonetheless, computers were a common enough technology in my time. They could be used for communication over long distances, as well as other things.

[He will have to find other things in that case.]

I don't believe this place is my future, so you would be correct. [Just the flattest look as she says that.]

Amazing, honestly. I could only imagine what these would do for fostering goodwill among the kingdoms. [A small grin.] Or generating war.

There aren't very many kingdoms left in my time. Most of the powerful countries in the world are democracies. Above all, technology helps foster accountability.

And does it honestly serve that purpose?

It's one of its purposes.
