slayersidekick | 1 Wicca spell [Action/Accidental Voice]

[It's early morning when Willow finally wakes up, blinking the sleep from her eyes. It takes her a few minutes to realize she's not in bed at Buffy's house, like she was last night when she fell asleep. Had she actually fallen asleep or had she dozed off for a little? The pile of clothes next to her says she merely dozed off before bed, but she can't imagine why she'd be wearing such a... weird hospital-type gown if she'd merely "dozed off." Then again, she has no idea why she wouldn't be in bed, either.

She sits up and looks around. The fountain is at her back - and it's a pretty one, too - but she's more than certain she's never seen it before in her life. What on earth is going on around here?

Something flips nervously in her stomach. Did someone use magic and transport her inter-dimensionally somehow? Or did she do it? Fantastic. Maybe it's just a dream. She's hoping so about now.

Sighing, she sits there for a few minutes to gather her thoughts before getting up to look around for a place to get changed. This gown is doing nothing at all for her. It's about then that she notices the open journal by her feet. She picks it up and looks at it, not noticing - yet - that it's on and recording.]

Hello? What is this thing...?

[ ... Well, that's weird. ]

You don't have to worry, I won't bite.

It's not you or anyone else I'm worried about. I just... don't want to touch them, okay?

Hm... okay.

[ awkward silence get! ]

H-has someone told you I use magic?

[ The best kind when you're around McCoy. ]

I thought you set the house on fire one time. It was just fumes, though.

I-

What?

It was some kind of.. I don't know, rejuvenating.. uh, thing? [ Avoid the 'p' subject for now. It seems sensitive for her. ]

[ ...Awkward silence number two! ]

...Right. I-i guess that would be okay.

[ Very sensitive, but luckily not as much as it used to be? Sort of. ] A-and a reason that I don't remember.

[ Maybe he'll win an X-Box if he racks up enough points. ]

It was a long time ago... you left at around the same time one my crewmates did.

[ Wouldn't that be a nice reward? Keep trying, McCoy! ]

Oh... [ Right, timelines, disappearing and reappearing. ] Did I do anything spectacular aside from make you think I'd set the house on fire?

Not really... at least I didn't see you pull any rabbits out of hats.

[ Dream big, Bones. ]

That's... not really something Wiccan witches do a lot of.

[ Again, normally she'd explain what was normal... but, details now. ]

So, there are types?

[ She pauses to shrug, not that he can really see it. ] Witches, warlocks, sorcerers, wizards, shamans. Depends on the style, training, likes, dislikes.

[ Another pause and no further explanation. ]

... What the hell! So there's like a brochure on the thing?

There were books on witchcraft back at home. That's what I used.

Books on... [ A sigh. ] ... right, okay. I see.

...Guess you don't really believe in that sort of thing, huh. [ Not that she can really blame him. ]

No, I don't. I'm perfectly comfortable the way I am in the area of science and not magical mumbo-jumbo.

Right, okay, uh, how about technology?

I... like some areas of technology. Others? Not so much. Atom scattering around being the worst; and shuttlecrafts!

Atom scattering? Is that possible?

Well, they call it beaming. I call it a violation.

Beaming? How does it work? [ That sounds... both really cool and really weird. But technology! She's interested. ]

[ SILENCE. ] I'm... not too sure actually. I'm a doctor, not an engineer.

[ voice ]
