Maddison

Peter
absolutely it's a skill honed through years of practice
Kyra

Imogen
*jumps into room (teleports)*
Imogen

professor Maxwell
*walks to imogen*
professor Maxwell
imogen...you're either early for this class or late for the one you missed last month
Imogen
I thought I'd come early and umm...tidy up
Imogen
i know how busy you must be with the bookstore and all
professor Maxwell
that's very considerate of you
professor Maxwell
good the shelves haven't been cleaned in over a decade
professor Maxwell
*blows dust off book*
professor Maxwell

professor Maxwell
*gives her the book*
Peter
your defense isn't that good
Maddison
aw is that your opinion
Peter
don't get snippy maddy. I'm offering constructive criticism
Kyra
you expect us to take criticism from a guy who believes in UFOs
Peter
not UFOs...visitors from the multiverse
Maddison
whatever maybe you can give them sports advice
Darrel
*jumps to magic library *
Imogen

Darrel

professor Maxwell
last time I checked darrel this was a library not a cafe
professor Maxwell
has anyone seen lily
Ruksy
we had a tooth run last night maybe she slept in
Darrel
wow...transforming teeth into coins must be tiring for fairies
Darrel
wow the fairy is feisty
Lily
sorry in late professor
Imogen
don't worry lily-pily we all know fairies aren't meant for speed
Ruksy
fairies broke the trans-atlantic record
professor Maxwell

professor Maxwell
just kidding it is next Wednesday
professor Maxwell
no surprises there
Imogen
i need a bit more time
Darrel
can you give us any hints about the test
professor Maxwell
I find reading the textbook helps
professor Maxwell
*makes rubber duck appear*
Darrel
does that mean the test is about ducks
professor Maxwell
no darrel *lights duck on fire and makes it disappear * the hint is everything isn't always what it seems
professor Maxwell
be prepared
Kyra
*playing guitar and singing*
Kyra
*hears smoke alarm beep* dad...dad you burned it again

Imogen
*picks up textbook but gets caught by lily*
Lily
imogen you can't take a book out of the library
Lily
*flies and follows her*
Imogen
*running from lily*
Lily
*uses wand to make imogen drop the book*
Imogen
*runs back to get it*
Lily
*using magic to pull the book to herself *
me
btw lily is a fairy and imogen is an elf and they made themselves invisible to humans using magic
Kyra
*touches the book passes out*
Kyra
*in the park walking dogs for a job*
Kyra
*sees darrel with elf ears*
Darrel
*looks at her strange because he is invisible to humans*
me
maxwell is a halfling,darrel is an elf,ruksy is a fairy and Maddison is a human if you didn't know
Kyra
*stoops down to look at something *
Doris(dog)

Doris(dog)

Doris(dog)

Peter

Peter

professor Maxwell
a magician never reveals his secrets
professor Maxwell
and now my reward*takes croissant *
Lily
this all happened because you took that book
Imogen
no it happened because you followed me
Lily
don't you know how serious this is
Lily
you can't leave her like this
Imogen
like i said not my problem
Imogen
*accidentally hits wall with magic*
professor Maxwell
what are you doing i had a customer in there
Imogen
we were conducting an experiment
Imogen
yes a conjuring spell for the test
Lily
we failed to conjure anything
Lily
we promise not to do it again
professor Maxwell
it's rare to see if faries and elves working together I'll leave you two to share this moment
Lily
we still have a problem no matter whose fault it is
Imogen
an elf dosent clean up a fairies mess
Lily
i suppose i could or i can tell professor about the book he doesn't look too kindly on cheating...who can blame him
Imogen
fairies can erase memories right
Lily
do you know how risky that is
Lily
if i tried and it went wrong i would be in serious trouble
Imogen
you're already in serious trouble...can you do it or not
Lily
hi im lily im a fairy and my pointy eared friend here is an elf
Kyra
wait so your telling me magic is real
Lily
kyra humans cant know that magic exists ok this won't hurt a bit
Lily
at least i think it won't if everything goes right
Lily
*sprinkles her with fairy dust*
Lily
it's supposed to make you forget about us
Kyra
*fingers start glowing (because she is part elf)*what's happening
Kyra
*starts swinging hand up and down*
Kyra
*ends up in Antarctica * help
me
thats it for today I'll try to do one tomorrow congrats for making it this far this is my first time please no hate
magic in the air
Imogen
about time do you know how long it took to track you
Imogen
*jumps back to the house with kyra*
Lily
it'll pass it's always like that the first few times you jump
Lily
*wispers to imogen* where did she go
Imogen
isn't the more important question what are we gonna do about her
Imogen
i think she should be banished
Kyra
banished what did you do to me
Lily
we're not exactly sure
Imogen
you resisted the mind wipe so we have to banish you
Kyra
there must be something else you can do
Lily
i suppose there is one other option
Imogen
*takes kyra's hand and jumps to maxwell`s library*
Lily
*flies to maxwell`s library*
Imogen
don't worry you wont have to get used to it
Kyra
my friend peter buys comics here
Imogen
professor maxwell won't be happy
Lily
I'm sure you can talk him around
professor Maxwell
yes lily
professor Maxwell
each magical aura has a subtle individual odor that i taught myself to detect
professor Maxwell
no i have a mirror
professor Maxwell
now what can i do for you
Lily
well um... i have a hypothetical question
Lily
what would you say if i told you hypothetically
Lily
that imogen and i found a human that can do magic
professor Maxwell
that is quite a specific hypothetical
professor Maxwell
its also impossible as humans can't do magic
Lily
well I'm pretty sure she's a human
professor Maxwell
so she saw you both
Imogen
plus her fingers glow and she can communicate with dogs
Lily
i tried a mind wipe but it didn't work
professor Maxwell
lily your not qualified for that magic
Lily
i know it was dangerous but it was all i could think of
Imogen
i say we banish her
professor Maxwell
no this is fascinating
professor Maxwell
we should find out more what has she told you
Kyra
i am right here you know
professor Maxwell
*closes bookshop*
professor Maxwell
come this way
professor Maxwell
dont be afraid
professor Maxwell
you want answers hopefully I can give you some
Lily
*walks through magic wall with professor maxwell and imogen *
Lily
*pulls kyra through the wall*
professor Maxwell
this is the library of magic
professor Maxwell
the size does take a bit of getting used to
professor Maxwell
i got lost in here once it took me 2 days to find my way out
ladder(a magical ladder)
*comes by*
professor Maxwell
not now ladder
ladder(a magical ladder)
*goes away*
professor Maxwell
if you dont ladder sulks
professor Maxwell
so kyra is it
professor Maxwell
lets see if we can get to the bottom of this please take a seat
professor Maxwell
first question were either of your parents magical
Kyra
my step dad is a cop and my mom was a PE teacher
professor Maxwell
then how do you explain your magical abilities
Lily
it was imogen`s fault
Lily
she took a book from the library
Imogen
borrowed i borrowed a book
Imogen
and she came after me with that stick i just defended myself
Imogen
it got in the way *points at kyra*
Kyra
i saw a book hanging in mid air so i touched it
professor Maxwell
that was a serious misuse of magic
professor Maxwell
what book was it
Imogen
the theory and practice of conjuring
professor Maxwell
an elementary text book
professor Maxwell
there is nothing special about it
professor Maxwell
first I'd like to learn more about your abilities and that might take a while
professor Maxwell
it's best that you stay here
professor Maxwell
kyra you have no idea what your capable of
professor Maxwell
you could end up in trouble
Kyra
i wont say a word about this and we can pretend this never happened
Kyra
*walks through magical wall, and out of the bookshop*
Kyra
peter you don't know how happy i am to see you
Peter
you've been at maxwell`s bookshop
Peter
doesn't he have great stuff
professor Maxwell
that was unexpected
Lily
what are you ganna do about her
professor Maxwell
im not entirely sure
professor Maxwell
a human with magical powers is unprecedented
Lily
what are you gonna do about us
Lily
do you have to tell my dad what happened
Imogen
what's to tell the professor hasn't figured out what's going on
Imogen
so until he does there's no point in saying anything right
Lily
but we're still in super big trouble aren't we
professor Maxwell
removing books without permission
professor Maxwell
improper use of magic that was seen by a human
professor Maxwell
attempting a mind wipe
Lily
we're expelled i knew it
Imogen
we did show initiative in trying to solve the problem ourselves
professor Maxwell
very true
professor Maxwell
while i look into this further keep an eye on the girl
Imogen
no way i don't baby sit humans
Lily
I'll do it I'm better with humans
Imogen
got to be good at something
professor Maxwell
you'll both do it
professor Maxwell

Kyra

Lily
*invisible to humans while telling kyra to not tell peter*
Kyra
