[Video] locked to allies

[The video comes on to show Amy sitting cross-legged on a sleeping bag laid out on a stone floor. There are a few small stacks of books surrounding her. She's grinning.]

I have a genius child! Okay, so it was luck, but let me be weird. Vathek's been down here looking through the stuff we can't make heads or tails of, and Jalen and I have cleaned out two whole bookcases already, but no dice...but then there was this.

[She holds up a fairly old, thick book with a green cover.]

Jalen was holding Eli up to the books, asking him 'Which one should mama fall asleep on now?'- You know, I only did it twice, and both books read like my old algebra textbook, so- anyway. Eli reached out and touched this one, and what do you know, it's got something useful in it!

[She flips the book open and holds it closer to the screen, showing pages covered in ornate script.]

Looks like Swahili or something, doesn't it? Yay calligraphy. I had to stare at it awhile before it started making sense. I found- hang on.

[Amy lowers the book to her lap and begins paging through it while she talks.]

There's a barrier spell in here. It looks like it might work similar to Bubble, but more like a box. Could probably work as just a one piece thing too, I dunno. I'm gonna give it a shot. Well, several. It could be useful later on. Hell, it could be useful now, but...

[She trails off as she finds what she's looking for, then studies the page in silence for a few moments before shaking her head and looking up.]

Eh, sorry. Thinking again. So that's it. Promise to be careful and not blow anyone up.

[There's a sudden thumping noise off-screen, then Jalen's voice.]

We need to ask Elyon about the book, remember? Shouldn't you finish that?

[Amy nods as she closes the book, addressing the laptop again.]

Need to get permission to take this thing with us, we're going back home for a few days. Jalen doesn't think I should be spending my birthday Sunday like a mole.

[Jalen mutters something that the audio doesn't quite catch, and Amy laughs as she shuts off the video.]





ooc: Already got mod permission for this. ^^

That has to be the cutest way ever to pick out a book. ^_^

Protective spells are always a good idea.

[fox_the_kitsune]

Putting ideas in your head is it? :3

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

No.

[fox_the_kitsune]

|D Riiiight...

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

I'm serious. :|

[fox_the_kitsune]

Where's the fun in that?

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

There isn't any.

[fox_the_kitsune]

See icon.

Even Jalen almost melted. Not that he'll admit it. ^^

If nothing else, I can use this for grounding Eli when he's a teenager.

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

Kids can do that sometimes. |D

Heh. That would be an interesting use for it.

[shadowchaser.livejournal.com]

I'd feel bad sticking him in a magical box, so I'd just block off his door and window. For awhile, anyway.

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That would just be a little too humiliating.
