Magic. Like a witch or something? [hey, there are stranger things out there. Like kanimas.] Well, at least you managed to get that thing to look better than it looks on the hangar.

Small blessings. How many off-days do we get?

Ohio. Where they get real winter, or so I hear. I've never been.

Wizard actually. [His smile grows at her compliment.] Thank you. It's actually pretty comfortable when you get it to fit right. Not that I wouldn't like to burn it if I got half the chance. We work three days and then get a day off.

I'm not sure that's a bragging point but yes, we do get snow and ice.

What's the difference? [and is he evil? Is he going to kill everyone when they're not looking? Are we talking Druidic magic here? She's super done with Druidic magic.

[And her smile suggests she's not wholly convinced, but she'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now.] Sounds like an awful lot of work for not a lot of benefit. What do we get out of these menial tasks?

How's the sudden lack of weather treating you?

[rumchocolatesouffle]

One is a guy and one is a girl. At least that's how it is in his home world.

[He laughs lightly.]

No, you're right. It's very pointless. We're in forced labor to pay our rent and keeping because they got upset with us a few days ago. And I'd rather any weather compared to this.

[fivethreestrawberryblonde]

Well, I suppose that much should have been obvious.

What did you do to get them so upset?

[rumchocolatesouffle]

I didn't realize that was the only difference until he told me. I always thought witches were evil and ugly like you see at Halloween.

Uh, we tapped into their private channels over the network and overheard some stuff we shouldn't have. I'm not sure how they did it.

[fivethreestrawberryblonde]

You haven't seen evil and ugly until you've met a Darach. [ugh.] They take it to a whole new level. And fun fact: they're just a step above a regular witch. They just have a lot more pent-up anger.

And everyone was still punished for it?
