First Curse | Video

[bearnecessities]

[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.

You're just going to make a deal? Just like that?

[bearnecessities]

[Scowl.] Why not? I've got nothing to lose.

[choseherownway]

You don't know what you've got to lose until a witch takes it from you.

[bearnecessities]

If it helps me, I really don't care. [She says like a petulant child.]

[choseherownway]

Well, that's not an attitude that's going to get you in over your head any time soon. [Sarcasm. She has it]

[Her eyebrows go up.] Your kind words have really showed me the error of my ways, thank you. I had no idea what it was like dealing with a witch until you decided to question me.

[choseherownway]

If you did have any idea what it was like dealing with a witch, you wouldn't be jumping up and down to make a deal without reservation.

[bearnecessities]

I know that there are dangers in dealing with witches. It's only been hammered into us since childhood.

[choseherownway]

So maybe your first reaction shouldn't be 'oh, I'm in trouble! A witch is clearly the answer here'.

By the way, you're upside down.

[A growl, almost beast-like as she viciously turns the netbook around so it's right side up.] You're reaching here. I never said that I was talking to a witch here. I'm talking to the people who thought they could use me to fight a war.

[Lena pauses for a moment at that growl] Whatever. Not my--

[She rounds a corner to the hallway where her living place is supposed to be, and comes to a sudden stop. Because the chick is right there] --problem.

[Oh that voice sounds way too close for Belle's comfort. She looks up sharply from where she's sitting on the floor outside of the apartment.] Then go away.

Really, anything?

What is this 'magic mirror'?

[bearnecessities]

[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.

voice

[bearnecessities]

[Well. If you could see her face right now, really, what with that blush and all.] Don't you sound pretty helpful.

[bearnecessities]

It ruins lives.

[This is fairly terrible.] As am I.

[ More of this magic nonsense? ]

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

[implying]

I do try to be! Especially to new arrivals, and to attractive young women in particular.

[workout]

[ magic mirrors? seriously? scott's grinning at her commentary before he answers, but he does his best to wipe the smile off his face when he clicks the video on. he almost succeeds. ]

Sorry, I don't know how to get you home. But um - you might want to be careful, there are some seriously weird people [ things? ] around here. I don't know if I'd want to owe them anything.

[passive]

[Oh hey Belle you said the magic word! Literally!]

Is it wise to make a deal like that? You don't know what these people are capable of.

[bearnecessities]

Any particular reason, or are you just that nice of a guy?
