Ach, right then -- so 'm locked in this blasted Keep for God knows how long. [A humph.] Y'know how worried me mum's goin' ta be? She'll kill me, I tell ya!

[A short chuckle.]

Right, not kill me, tha's a bit severe, but she'll be right mad all th'same. [There's a fumble, Merida is toying with her journal and flipping pages, which makes a lot of noise in the background.]

Now, these wee little magic books, where'd they come from, hm? Anyone ever ask about that? I mean, they're just layin' right here in yer room and y'just trust th'place that much t'pick it up and wave it about! Meself included, I suppose. Where's th'magic comin' from?

[Her voice darkens, just a little.]

Y'shouldn't trust magic so blindly, ya hear? No one should. 'S dangerous, that. Y'never know what yer gonna get, regardless of what ye ask for.

I suppose it'd be dependin' on what ya believe, then. Me mum didn't much believe in magic until recently.

[She always had, though. Ever since she was small, and had seen that first Wisp.]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

ii've 2een people call thiing2 that weren't magiic "magiic" before, they ju2t diidn't know what really made iit work.
but thii2 place...thii2 place ha2 2omethiing liike magiic, at lea2t.

[wonmyownhand]

It's certainly somethin', alright -- I've seen magic, and truth be told, this is right there close with it.

[thii2ii22tupiid]

ii've 2een magiic here, but a2 far a2 ii can tell there are diiferent kiind2 of magiic. and not all of them are REALLY magiic.

[wonmyownhand]

Aye? What might they be, then?

[thii2ii22tupiid]

there are 2ome game2 here, iin the liibrary, that people call magiic. they aren't, they're technology, but people who've never 2een that 2ort before thiink iit2 magiic.

[wonmyownhand]

Games, eh? [She's curious.] I think I'd like t'see them. In the library, y'said?

[thii2ii22tupiid]

on the fourth floor, but they're probably liike nothiing you've ever 2een.

*Judging from her lack of knowledge of email and cellphones, at least.*

[wonmyownhand]

Hm. Can ya show me how they work, then?

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Hm. He doesn't really want anyone to see him as a human if he can help it...*

why not take a few day2 two get u2ed two the keep, then ii'll 2how you how two play.
