May 14th: Well, this is different...

Postby Narrator » Tue Jan 25, 2011 4:57 pm

The big tree in the center of the quad, the meeting place for so many people, was a little different.

The trunk now twisted in a 90 degree angle.

Walking by, John noticed the tree and went in for a closer look.

"O...kay..."

Lei walks around the tree, giving it a wary look.

There had been magic here--and recently, too. The damn thing stank of it.

Taking a carton of salt out of her pocket, Lei continues circling the tree while spreading salt on the ground around it.

Eric looks on from a distance, curious with what Lei was doing.

The salt circle in place, the sense of magic OUTside the circle suddenly vanished.

Lei took a cigarette out of her pocket and lit it, taking a drag.

"So, salt fixes crooked trees now? This is a magic thing, then?"

"Salt doesn't fix a damn thing," Lei says, "It purifies."

"I'm not a gardener. Let someone else fix the damn tree. Hopefully soon. It's snarling the campus' qi."

Eric cocked his head, turning it sideways like Bobby Goren.

"Well, it's easier to climb now at least."

"I'm seriously starting to get the feeling that someone's just fucking with us," Lei grumbles.

"Yeah, because I can totally figure out who's doing this from a bent tree," Lei says, sounding annoyed.

"Well, It's a start. We investigate, right? find out what else weird has happened recently? Find a link? I might not know magic, but I've watched crime shows on RTE."
