A small announcement (backdated to Saturday)

[princess_weia]

[Judging by the size of her surroundings, Leia has also been shrunk, like a number of other apprentices. But while one side of her appears to show a normal sized room- ie huge, now- the other seems to show furniture and the like that's relatively normal sized- ie tiny scale.]

Hey everybody! I know some other people are shrunk too, so anybody who's shrunk and needs someplace safe to stay til they get big again can come stay in my dollhouse with me. I even used some magic to make it so the bathroom stuff works! I'm in room 4A, if anybody doesn't know.

I may join you, if only to gain some refuge.

This situation is abominable.

[princess_weia]

[Leia nods.]

If you need help getting here I can try and get one of the mice to bring you.

And ab...abdomnible means it's really bad, right?

[Kind of a hard word for someone her age, but she can gather the basic meaning from context.]

[weaver_of_lies]

Mice? You can talk to creatures?

[She might have known. She was a princess after all].

It means I'm at my wits end, yes. If it is not one thing it is another in this place.

[princess_weia]

Uh-huh! It's part of my Princess magic. The Lydia who's a Princess can do it too, but she mostly talks to bugs.

And yeah, lots of weird stuff happens here, but when it does I try to have fun with it. Or help people who can't, like I'm doing now.

[weaver_of_lies]

Fascinating. Bugs, you say? I can imagine that coming in handy for the squeamish.

Ah. How noble, princess. Given the circumstances of the situation, there are bound to be those who have an aversion to this. "Weird stuff."

[princess_weia]

[Leia nods.]

Yeah; Lydia likes them though. She likes all kinds of dark, spooky stuff.

It kind of depends on what kind of weird stuff's happening, but yeah, lots of people don't like it. So I figured that somebody should try an make it a little easier for them, you know?

[weaver_of_lies]

Fascinating. Then again, there are some of us who are nothing but dark and spooky.

Perhaps it depends on the kind of world they have been brought from.

[princess_weia]

I bet I know something about you that isn't dark and spooky.

But yeah, stuff like this could never happen where I'm from. We don't really have magic there.

[weaver_of_lies]

And what might that be?

It may be related more to the actual people rather than just their abilities. I would think if they could just take magic from other worlds they would, but it seems they require more than just that.

[princess_weia]

Flowers! You like to take care of the flowers in the castle garden, and there's nothing spooky about flowers.

[She nods.]

Yeah, it's not just magic, it's imagination. We have different ways of thinking about stuff and doing stuff than the people here do, and if I understand things right, that's part of what makes our Sparks stronger and harder to Corrode.
