[Here is one Rita, glancing off to the side of the camera defensively.]

Okay, if--if nobody comes and picks them up, I'm not keeping them all.

[A slight blurring of the video as the camera rotates, and the picture focuses on no fewer than half a dozen cats lounging in various spaces in the study.

Yeah, guess who was busy during that robbing curse. Eyes is nowhere to be seen...because he's out of sight of the device, comfortably situated in Rita's lap.]

[ooc: If your character owns a cat, feel free to have theirs be part of Rita's haul!]

But you can't even tell me how! How the hell do you not know how your own powers work?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

I just want it to appear and it does.

[blastiafreak]

...That's it? There has to be more to it than that.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Well, there isn't.

[blastiafreak]

No way! You probably just don't know what it is!

[Not that she can explain it either...which just makes it more frustrating.]

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

It's not like you get it!

[blastiafreak]

Wha--Of course I don't, if it's some weird ability from your world. I'd figure it out if I had a chance to study it!

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

I bet you couldn't do it!

[blastiafreak]

I could find out how it works, even if I can't do it! Who needs a lame ability like that, anyway?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

It's not lame!

[blastiafreak]

Well, it sure as hell isn't anything impressive.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

You're just jealous, I bet.

[blastiafreak]

Jealous of you? Please! I can start a fire as big as I want to without your lame powers!

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah?

[blastiafreak]

Of course! What, you want a demonstration or something?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Go on.

[blastiafreak]

Fine! Only because I'm taking a break, anyway.

[Leaving the cats and the house behind so nobody complains about artes in the house again, she stands outside in the snow and casts a spell.]

O flickering blaze, burn...Fireball! [Aaaand that's one blasted snowbank!]

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Not too bad. Do you have to do the yelling and stuff, though?

[blastiafreak]

Hey--what do you mean, "not bad"? So what if I can't light a match just by thinking about it?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Well, you were insulting me!

[blastiafreak]

You should be grateful! I cast this spell just so you could see it!

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

It wasn't even that great! I can do that too, and I don't even need to yell about it.

[blastiafreak]

Like yours was any better! And the chant's a part of the formula.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Fine, fine.

[ He is setting a larger snowdrift or something than last time on fire now. Are you impressed yet? :I ]

And it's stupid.

[blastiafreak]

Shut up, you!

[Maybe a little Now she's just feeling like she has to one-up him again. Another chant, and a much bigger fireball plows a trench through the snow.]
