[nachetanya]

[ So she's... actually going to be calling Elliot rather than texting him. Ring, ring, sometime around one, so before her shift starts at the casino and when she really ought to be studying. ]

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot was in the middle of his own studies when he gets the call. He pulls out the phone from his pocket, half-expecting it to be Zack with another question he could've easily googled if he had a smart phone instead of that archaic flip-phone. But when he sees it's Natalia? Well, he answers right away]

Hello?

[nachetanya]

It seems that I'm a magician too.

[ . . . That's where she begins. Hi, Elliot. ]

Probably. The whole thing was a little funny, actually!

[fiddlestick]

Y-You are?

[What]

What do you mean? What happened?

[nachetanya]

I got my first of those memories.

[fiddlestick]

You did? What was it?

[nachetanya]

Peeling a carrot, if you can believe it! ... But peeling it by using ... I suppose it would be dancing swords?

[fiddlestick]

Huh? You were peeling a carrot with a dancing sword?

[nachetanya]

Yes? Well, no, several swords. Or ... knives? They were small.

[fiddlestick]

Wow....

That's cool! I don't think I can do anything like that.

[Wait. this is her first one]

- Sorry. I mean, are you okay?

[nachetanya]

I'm fine, it was just unexpected. Or no, I guess it was expected! But I didn't expect it now.

[ Or to be quite that. The memory itself was pretty breezy. ]

[fiddlestick]

Y-Yeah, they always come when you don't really expect it.

I mean, I've heard of people trying to trigger them, but I dunno how well that works.

[nachetanya]

[ She nods, but then right, phone, she leans it against the side of her head. ]

I guess I just needed to talk to some family about it.

[fiddlestick]

I guess so....

But hey, so this means maybe magic does run in the family...?

[nachetanya]

Looks like it! [ She laughs. She knows she's not really been herself the last few days, all of this was... a lot. It was a lot all at once. And she hums ] The power did seem really cool. I'm not describing it well at all, but it was like I conducted swords to fly and peel the carrot.

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, sounds like a fancy way to do chores!

Just be careful you don't relive Disney's Sorcerer's Apprentice.

[nachetanya]

When have you ever known me to be that lazy, Elliot? Come on now.

[ She... well I mean she does have a strong energetic gusto usually but she can sometimes be lax with things she doesn't care about and feel free to make up whatever story shrug ]

[fiddlestick]

Ahaha...I dunno...

Sometimes you...have your moments.

[nachetanya]

[ You can positively hear the pouting on the other end of the line: ]

Do not.

[fiddlestick]

[There's laughter on his end]

Aha, sorry.

[nachetanya]

Oooh!

[ HUFF. ]

Speaking of! Help me study later!

[fiddlestick]

Help you study? You mean magic?

[nachetanya]

No, for my exams.

[ . . . For college.

... Her Sociology classes.

... Look she's an easily distracted student not bad but she's never been a diligent study-er and it's stressing her out. ]

[fiddlestick]

Huh?

But I don't even know which classes you're taking...!

[nachetanya]

But you're a good studier, right? You can coach me on studying!
