 I - [phone]

A-Ah, hello everyone...have any of you ever received an empty package? At least, empty of any meaningful objects...mine only had a picture on it, a small white orb...but I have no idea what it means.

Is the picture not supposed to represent an immaterial thing being returned? I don't remember ever having anything of that nature...I'm so very confused...

II - [action, all around town]
[Still horribly confused about what's happened (and whatever a "light orb" might be), Kotomi tries to go through the rest of her day as normal as possible. She can be found virtually anywhere--at the school, at the grocery store, walking around, or at 728 Anderson, and all looks normal. Except, if you can sense that kinda thing, she seems to be radiating a large aura of magic, very pure and untainted magic, enough to make anyone who didn't know she had this sort of "power" (read: everyone) do a double-take.

She herself is blissfully unaware of any of this.]

-It takes her awhile to answer the door. For reasons that should be obvious given the time Kotomi spent in hr body.-

[heartmaestro]

[She look incredibly sheepish. Or at least feels so, as her expression when she doesn't know what to say defaults to completely blank.]

[wizardoftheweek]

-When the door is opened, Patchouli stares at Kotomi a long moment before sighing.-

It's magic.

[heartmaestro]

...what is? [pokerface.jpg]

[wizardoftheweek]

Whatever you received. It's magic in nature.

[heartmaestro]

...but I'm not capable of any magic. My world is distinctly...normal.

[wizardoftheweek]

Magic exists regardless of how much or how little you choose to believe in it. Or are you calling me a liar?

[heartmaestro]

I did not say that. Perhaps magic exists in your world, but it does not exist in mine.

...it's nothing but fairy tales of witches and goblins and princesses.

[wizardoftheweek]

Didn't I just say that magic exists regardless of your belief in it? This is not my world, but all worlds. Clean out your ears.

[heartmaestro]

[She doesn't say anything in response, instead choosing to look down at her feet, biting her lip.]

[wizardoftheweek]

... I apologize. I didn't mean to snap at you.

[heartmaestro]

I... [She pauses again.] It's...alright. I'm sorry.

[wizardoftheweek]

You've no reason to be sorry.

[heartmaestro]

[She opens her mouth to protest, but closes it, shifting her hands awkwardly.]

Thank you for the assistance.

[wizardoftheweek]

Good... Now come in. I'll put some tea on.
