[she's been getting pretty good at this typing thing, hence why her post today is in text, rather than anything else. It's good practice! Also she can't stop grinning so it's probably for the best considering what she's asking for today]

I require volunteers for something of an experiment. I am looking for those able to cast magic, and those willing to have magic cast upon them. I suppose one could say this is in the name of science, yes? And should one volunteer, all I require is an afternoon of your time.

There is no risk of harm or damage, of course. Except perhaps to one's dignity.

Yes, I know. But it is embarrassing. To ask about things that are commonplace to most other people.

[falla]

Didn't I just say I don't mind your questions.

Come on, ask whatever you want to know.

[hyanaimne]

I already asked my silly question. You said you would show me.

[falla]

I think you might like them. There's all kinds of magazines anyway.

[hyanaimne]

I suppose we shall see.

[falla]

Fair enough.

Anything else besides binding, though? I know people who can do magic, so I'm curious.

[hyanaimne]

Spells I plan to use? Protection spells. Spells that can boost one's strength and reflexes.

[falla]

That sounds interesting. I've always envied people with enhanced strength a bit. Or any kind of enhancement, really.

[hyanaimne]

There is not much to be envious of. Do you know how hard it is to hold a glass without breaking it, for example?

[falla]

That's why I said a bit. I've learned to make do with what I've got anyway.

But suddenly being stronger could be used as a disadvantage, now that you mention it.

[hyanaimne]

Good.

Yes, it could. Especially if one cannot control it well.

[falla]

If it's trying to hold something that needs to be destroyed, too.

[hyanaimne]

Exactly.

[falla]

You have really useful skills.

[hyanaimne]

I am glad you think so.

[falla]

And I'm glad you're glad. Some people don't like to be reminded of their good points.

[ Take Charlie, for instance. ]

[hyanaimne]

I take some pride in being good at what I do. But only some.

[falla]

That's prudent. More people should do that.

Have you gotten enough volunteers?

[hyanaimne]

They should, I agree.

And I have more than I thought I would get.

[falla]

I've found out the people here are very accommodating, which is good.

[hyanaimne]

It is quite the pleasant surprise.

[falla]

Well, I won't take more of your time.

See you soon?

[hyanaimne]

You shall. Until then, Charlie.
