Spokes on a Wheel

Nailah is sitting on Sam's couch, half-empty glass of wine in hand, having just finished telling Sam about their experience in the Lighthouse-Nexus.

"So it seems I wasn't too far off trying to tap into it to ward the mansion, but it's probably good that I didn't. I'd rather not end up accidentally volunteering myself as the 'eidolon'."

"Begs the question of why Meggan destroyed it in the first place..."

"She must have had her reasons. Maybe something had gone wrong with it."

"The only one on campus that has worked all that much with the remnants of it would be Stan, I should think."

"Who thought it'd be a good idea to weave magic into a technological system?" she sighs. "The last time I saw someone who'd even be familiar with both he was literally being slammed out of this world."

"Aye we're... not using him as a resource."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 1:51 pm

"This is going to be interesting to say the least... At least we know a little more about what's going on now."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 1:55 pm

"And perhaps why we've had so many... incursions, though I suppose that's chicken and egg."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 2:05 pm

"It certainly makes for bit of a weakspot in the fabric of reality. You see why I don't want clueless wannabe wiccans poking around there?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 2:29 pm

"I still think you were needlessly harsh on her."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 2:59 pm

"She... Nevermind, it's not worth it." she says, finishing off her wine.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 3:00 pm

"I'm not trying to start an argument here, love."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 3:13 pm

"I know. I'm sorry I brought it up." she says, still sounding kind of annoyed.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 4:03 pm

"But something's still bothering you, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 4:20 pm

"It's just frustrating. And I know I shouldn't care, but it drives me up the wall anyway. Sanctimonious little tart."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 4:23 pm

"Nothing she does lessens what you do, or what you are."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 4:32 pm

"I know!"

"I know..." she sighs.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 4:34 pm

"I think the most important thing is that no matter what it may feel like, to her it isn't mockery."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 4:44 pm

"With how desperately she wants to be 'a witch' you'd think she'd listen more..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 4:52 pm

"I think the mistake is in thinking she wants to be a 'witch.' I'd say she's decided she already is."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 4:59 pm

"How can you decide that when you have the magical prowess of a brick?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 5:01 pm

"There's an awful lot of Wiccans that will never so much as be able to light a cigarette with magic, but still call themselves 'witches.'"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 5:28 pm

"They usually don't claim to be casting actual spells though. Usually. Especially when confronted with someone who can."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 5:40 pm

"They perform rites, even if there's no tangible results."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 6:20 pm

"And there's nothing wrong with that! But she's just doing what sounds the most 'witchy'. She thinks Anne Rice books are good sources."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 7:13 pm

"I'm not saying she's authentic, I'm saying she's not doing anything particularly horrible."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 7:18 pm

"I don't want to argue about this."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 7:25 pm

"Alright, that's fair enough."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 7:42 pm

"I shouldn't have brought it up. I'm sorry."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 8:02 pm

"Don't be. You're allowed your feelings on the matter."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 5:45 am

"Yeah, but they don't exactly help here."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 10:15 am

"Understanding them might."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 10:19 am

"Considering the things that actually lurk out there mystifying and romanticizing them is just..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 10:55 am

"Disturbing on one level, but all too typical on another?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 11:03 am

"Almost offensive. She can't know better, but to not listen and accuse me of offending her?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 11:31 am

"Some people just aren't looking to be corrected, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 11:39 am

"Then don't complain about being wrong and 'oppressed'."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 12:14 pm

"So you're saying she deserves this?" She quirked a brow.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 12:29 pm

"I don't know what exactly she told you, but I didn't outright ridicule her. Being told that you might be wrong about something does not count as oppression."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 12:41 pm

"But this is religion we're talking about here, love. It's something that has had 'agree to disagree' plastered all over it for the longest time. If you try to throw definites into that, quantifiable things, you rather change the dynamic."
