One Moon ℂ Video

[claimyourself]

[A hand fumbles in front of the camera, then pulls back to show a teenage girl who is looking very confused and a bit scared.]

Where am I? What's going on here?

[She looks around her, then back to the camera. Bringing it closer to her face to better examine it, she narrows her unique eyes, one green, one gold.]

Is this some kind of sick joke? Did you do this, mother?

[The last word is spit out harshly. This is so not a happy mother-daughter relationship.]

I don't know what your angle is this time, but I don't want to talk to you. Send me home right now!

[eiremagic]

No.

[claimyourself]

There was a curse that made people want to hug cats.

[eiremagic]

Yes.

[claimyourself]

I guess that's better than a curse that makes people want to kill each other.

[She's still not 100% sure she believes her, but stranger things have happened in her own life.]

[eiremagic]

That happens every now and again.

It happened last month.

[claimyourself]

Oh.

[Spoke too soon there.]

How long do these curses last?

[eiremagic]

A day. Maybe two.

[claimyourself]

Right. Okay. So magic can't stop them. Do you know what causes them?

[eiremagic]

The deities.

[errandry]

... yeah, that's not gonna work.

You land okay?

[claimyourself]

[Her speech is a little stilted here, as she tries to form her thoughts into words.]

Are those like, actual deities, or just what people call them?

[claimyourself]

[The wind's been taken out of her sails already by someone else.]

So I'm learning.

I landed fine, though I don't really remember landing. I just sort of... was here.

[eiremagic]

It's what they're called.

[claimyourself]

And they're the ones running things here? Throwing curses at us?

[errandry]

That's kinda how it works. Most people get dumped into the fountain, though.

[eiremagic]

Yeah.

[hexuality]

There's a lot of people in this city.

I'm Ginny Weasley.

[claimyourself]

Wonder how I avoided that. It's a nice fountain, but I wouldn't want to just get dumped on it.

[claimyourself]

Well that sucks.

voice;

[claimyourself]

Yeah, it's bigger than any city I've ever been to, I think.

Lena Duchannes.

[eiremagic]

It's what it is.

[errandry]

Good lu—nah, better not jinx it. Call it clean living, maybe!

[claimyourself]

What do people do in between curses? Just try to live normally?

[claimyourself]

I'd think fountain water would be pretty dirty, actually.

[eiremagic]

Yeah. Get a job.
