What was up with the mistletoe, anyway? Or do these things just happen to you guys?
(I'm not telling how I got rid of it, so don't bother asking)

Bugs is being good, except he keeps sneaking out of my room to follow people around. Mostly Amy. I think cats get jealous of babies. My cousin's cat did the same thing to her for a year after her kid was born.
I admit I kinda sorta mighta been looking in backstreets and alleys for stray cats when I found him... College dorms wouldn't allow pets. I was deprived and stuff.

I was wondering, though... ok, the real reason for this post is to ask about magic. I know some of you have learned it. So how's it work and is it tough to learn?

We're just special. >_>

That cat is so adorable. I must smell like catnip to him or something. It'd be weird if he was jealous of Eli, Thorns isn't. She kinda ignores him, actually.

Cats: Yes, Ember isn't very fond of Ashlyn and Eli, though she mostly just avoids them. She's never been all that fond of children. I'm not sure it's out of jealousy though. I think she's kind of scared of them.

Magic: It takes about a week of serious study (as in most of your waking hours are devoted to study in one form or another). You have to find a teacher though.

The universe loves us B|

All of the teachers have different teaching styles so it really depends on who you go to.

That was the first time we got mistletoe. Weird shit like that happens a lot, though.

In regards to magic, it... kind of varies depending on who you talk to? Like Ari said, the teachers all have different styles of teaching and explaining things, and the same goes for us. So if you wanna see some tl'dr about how I view magic, feel free to ask! Or you could just go to one of the teachers and get some formal training. Whichever you prefer!

Here let me give you some of my personal opinions anyway Also, the level of difficulty depends on what spell it is, and what your personal affinity to it is. Like, I learned the Thunder and Fire spells easily enough, but Aero in particular is harder for me. It just... depends on who you are, your affinity with the spells, and how your teacher introduces you to it, I guess.
