6th Spell [Audio]

[taintedtalent]

Ya know, there are times I wish I could drink without it killing me. This would be one of them.

[This is the most melancholy Reese has ever sounded. After months he's still here, and the feeling that he might not actually get out of this one is beginning to creep up on him. More than that, more than any of that, he's lonely.]

Gettin' fuckin' tired of milk.

Comments

[yolonceler]

[Pause.]

Lots of people hate their life.

[taintedtalent]

That's their fault then.

[Blunt thy name is Reese.]

[yolonceler]

[WOW THANKS]

Truer words were never spoken.

[taintedtalent]

That's why I said them.

[yolonceler]

Are you sure you shouldn't be a philosopher instead of a vigilante?

[taintedtalent]

And stop throwin' lightnin' at people? Yer crazt Once-ler.

[yolonceler]

You can throw lightning?

[CONVERSATION COMPLETELY DERAILED]

[taintedtalent]

I can do a lot of things.

[Or he could.]

[yolonceler]

Things like what?

[taintedtalent]

Change the weather, create a duststorm, make rocks look like gold, and the like.

[yolonceler]

Thaaat iiis sooo cool! [HE IS FRIENDS WITH A WIZARD] What are you?

[taintedtalent]

I'm a wizard.

[yolonceler]

[... The Once-ler was not actually expecting that to be the case.]

That's awesome. Can you do wizardly stuff? Like turn people into frogs? Or is that exclusive to witches.

[taintedtalent]

Witches really ain't that much different than wizards fella, except they're women and a lot harder to find.

[yolonceler]

Well that's disappointing. Can you, uhhhhh... teleport?

[taintedtalent]

Technically I could. Only problem with that is no one's quite figured it out yet. The one's that tried it never came back, or didn't take all of 'em with 'em.

[yolonceler]

Ouch.

[Also ew. Can you imagine showing up in China without the lower half of your body? That's rough.]

Can you fly?

[taintedtalent]

[Yes he can, which is the reason he's not about to attempt it.]

I ain't a bird.

[yolonceler]

Can youuu... [Hmmm.] Can you read minds?

[taintedtalent]

[And suddenly his mood crashes.]

No. Wizards can't do that.

[Now all he can think about is Ada again.]

[yolonceler]

[Oncie would be sorry if he knew!!]

What about super strength?

[taintedtalent]

[What was once humorous is now becoming annoying.]

I may be a wizard but I'm still human.

[yolonceler]

[The Once-ler has no concept of "annoying".]

You mean they're not mutually exclusive?

[taintedtalent]

A wizard's just a man born with the ability to control magic. That's it. Don't mean we're not human.

[yolonceler]

I guess that makes sense. Takes away from the mysticism of it all, a little bit.
