So! Out of curiosity, what is the major bad stuff that happens around here? Are there any culprits? Is there a good vs evil line I should know about? I mean, what goes bump in the night around here and should I know about it?

There are many words for 'magic-user', it's hard to know which one to use.

Re: [Audio]

[twicecharmed]

I suppose that's true.

How does that work in your world, then? Mine doesn't have anything that quite qualifies, as far as I am aware. [They had time-travelers, aliens, espers, dimensional sliders, and reality warpers, but none of those were the same thing as 'witches', so it wasn't technically a lie.] Moreover, it seems every world that has it approaches magic quite differently.

Re: [Audio]

[twicecharmed]

Hard to explain really. Magic works different for different people. Witches have different powers from warlocks and demons, for instance. They have separate rules.

Are any of your powers combat oriented? If so, it's entirely possible that you would fare just fine in the Dark Hour, provided you experience it. Most with the ability to defeat shadows are supernatural in one manner or another. However, I would not advise testing that without someone you know able to defeat shadows nearby.

Still not looking for trouble though.

[Audio]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

Of course. Just something it would be good to be aware of, in case of an emergency.

Besides the Dark Hour, there seem to be all sorts of bad things that happen - unfortunately, nothing that is consistent or predictable.

Re: [Audio]

[twicecharmed]

Unless we're counting dark as predictable.

[Audio]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

A fair point. I simply meant that it is nearly impossible to prepare for what might happen.

Re: [Audio]

[twicecharmed]

That's true.

How are you settling in, Ms. Piper-san?

Re: [Audio]

[twicecharmed]

Ms Piper-san... Okay, just Piper or Mrs. Halliwell will do. And I'm okay! Got a part time job at a bakery until school starts up for the kids again.

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

Ah, my apologies, Mrs. Halliwell. I'm Japanese, and you never quite lose the habit of using the proper honorifics. It's not even something I really think about.

Glad to hear it! Until school starts up again? Does that mean you're a teacher?

Re: [Audio]

[twicecharmed]

It's fine.

And yeah, I'm the new Home Ec. teacher.

[Audio]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

Ah, of course.

What grades will you be teaching? I'll be a high school senior this upcoming school year.

Re: [Audio]

[twicecharmed]

The younger kids? Or maybe older.

[Audio]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

If I may say so, that seems awfully inspecific.

Re: [Audio]

[twicecharmed]

My criteria is "kids who don't give me a hard time"

[Audio]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

Ah, fair enough.

Well, I may or may not see you in class, then.

Re: [Audio]

[twicecharmed]

I look forward to it.

[Audio]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

I do as well, Mrs. Halliwell.

Or not, as the case may be.

Re: [Audio]

[twicecharmed]

Thanks. I... think.

[Audio]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

Ah, pardon me, I was unclear. I merely meant "or not" in the case that you happen to not be one of my teachers.

Re: [Audio]

[twicecharmed]

Relax. I wasn't offended.

[Audio]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

A relief, to be certain.
