A cloud of black smoke

by **Trini Thompson** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 2:38 pm

From underneath one of the doors of the dorms, a gradually thickening smell of smoke was coming up, despite a towel wedged under the door frame.

"Oh, poo."

((open))

Spotting the smoke as she was walking down the hall, Callie knocked on the door.

"Everything okay in there?" Callie asks, concern in her voice.

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 3:25 pm

"Yes! Yes, it is! Everything's alright!

...I mean, probably!"

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 5:08 pm

"Are you sure?" Callie asks, "'Cause you're kind of smoking out the hall."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 8:27 pm

"Oh, darn!" she said, quickly opening the door. "We need to stop that before it sets off the smoke detectors!"

Raven was wearing her hat and a full robe, adorned with moon and stars and things. In her room was a large cauldron of some sort.

Callie tilts her head, "Looks like quite the hurlyburly in there."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 8:39 pm

"Hurly...oh, right. The hat. No, no, it's all...well, it's all under control.

Or, like, it WAS all under control, like, y'know?"

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 8:45 pm

Callie steps past Raven, into the room, "What are you doing in here anyway?"

Callie coughs, looking around for a window.

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 10:22 pm

There was a window in Raven's room, of course, though it was closed.

"Oh, you know. Magic.

...Brewing," she clarified after a moment's pause.

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 10:35 pm

Callie walks over and opens the window, letting some of the smoke out, "It better not be anything illegal."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 10:52 pm

"What? No! Of course not.

...I don't think it's illegal, anyway."

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 11:15 pm

"That's...not super encouraging, hun," Callie says, trying to wave smoke out of the window with a towel she found.

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 11:22 pm

"Well, it shouldn't be illegal! I mean, you know, nothing in it is!"

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 12:54 am

"Said every crystal meth dealer ever," Callie teases good naturedly, "So, what are you brewing then?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 12:54 am

"I'm trying to make something to help a friend..." she said, somewhat evasively.

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 12:56 am

"Love potion?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:07 am

"No, actually! In fact, this is not meant to be taken internally."

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:11 am

"If it causes this much smoke, I'm not sure it should be taken externally either," Callie says, "You need any help?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:27 am

"Um....it, like, shouldn't produce that much smoke. That was supposed to be absorbed by the baking soda...or the comfrey root, I forget."

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 3:03 am

"Maybe you have it on too high of a heat?" Callie suggests.

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:30 pm

"Oh, you have to get it QUITE piping hot -- the transition from stage to stage is part of the purification process, and the reversion to more natural cooler states represents returns to normality.

And stuff."

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:33 pm

"Stuff?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:40 pm

"Yes! It's all a bit complex, actually."

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:43 pm

"...You're Raven, aren't you?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 3:53 pm

"I am! And you must be...wait, I can guess this," she said, closing her eyes and putting her fingers to her temples.

"...It starts with a Y, yes?"

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 4:17 pm

"Well, it has a 'Y' in it," Callie says.

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 4:34 pm

"This is what I get for not preparing regents before hand. I'm sorry, your name is...?"

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 4:35 pm

"Kaliyah Shah," Callie says, "But just call me Callie."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 4:43 pm

"Nice to meet'cha! But how did you know who I am?

Oh! A telepath, of course, right?"

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 5:07 pm

Callie laughs, "Oh, god no. Valentine was talking about you the other night."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 5:08 pm

Raven's face fell. "Oh. Oh, I see."

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 5:11 pm

Callie sighs, "Forget about her. She's just a jealous little bitch. If you let her get to you, she wins."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 5:17 pm

"Oh, I try not to. I'm just surprised at how bigoted this place can be sometimes," she said, trying to shrug it off.

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 5:21 pm

"I wouldn't know," Callie says, "I just got here. You're literally the third person I've talked to so far."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:17 pm

"Well, most people are alright, as long as you aren't...how did they put it? ... imposing on their 'turf'. Seriously, it's like, high school all over again."

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:23 pm

"I didn't go to high school, but I'll take your word for it," Callie says with a cheerful smile.

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:25 pm

"Home-schooled?"

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:27 pm

"A hospital, actually," Callie says.

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:47 pm

"Oh! I'm sorry to hear that! Are you better now?"

by **Kaliyah Shah** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:49 pm

"Let's go with 'yes'," Callie says, "So, who's this friend your trying to help?"
