asgardeventide | second spell ✰ video/text, action to odin house

( People have probably had enough of being woken up in the middle of the night, so if your bracelet is safely off, you won't notice a strange message coming through. It almost sounds like someone is rubbing a blanket up against their microphone; the video feed shows a pitch dark room, moving every now and then ... almost as if someone is thrashing around a bit in bed. Because that's exactly what is happening right now. Every now and then the strange static is punctuated by feverish murmuring.

Hermione Granger is having a nightmare. )

No.. Not Harry, I swear I'll be good, I promise..

( Her voice is low, begging, pleading, whispered. You wouldn't catch it unless you turned up your volume to try and discern what the strange muttering was. )

I did everything right, I swear; I just forgot .. please, don't .. it's not .. I won't --

( More thrashing. The video feed is obscured as the whispering reaches a crescendo and then --

A muffled scream. If you're in Odin house, you probably heard it, especially if you room nearby. If not, it's a little alarming as the video feed cuts out just as Hermione finds the lightswitch and floods her bedroom with light.

About twenty minutes later, there is a text post for the morning. )

Does anyone know if it's possible to brew sleeping potions here?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I discussed the possibility with Samantha Grey before and it seems like something I'd be interested in doing.

I see.

It's common sense, since it's hard to get them without it. I wouldn't consider her advice in the future if I were you, though.

Why?

She's really irresponsible when it comes to herbalism.

What do you mean?

She's said she's really dangerous. If you're claiming something like that you shouldn't be working with dangerous plants and fungi.

You don't think she's qualified to make that decision for herself?

If she's qualified she wouldn't be going around telling anyone who listens about how dangerous she is.

I suppose. I suppose I'm more inclined to believe 'innocent until proven guilty'..

( Though Conan had explained it a bit more to her. )

An innocent person doesn't freely admit to guilt unprovoked.

Does knowing that a part of yourself is dangerous and wanting to warn people to keep them from harm constitute some sort of 'guilt'?

No, the problem is being dangerous and working with incredibly dangerous substances. You can't go around saying you're some big dangerous psycho and then turn around and say you have to work with that kind of thing unless you're a big hypocrite who doesn't actually care about recklessly hurting other people.

Ah, I see. I think I don't understand the situation well enough, actually.

I don't think there's any more to it.

Maybe we should agree to disagree?

( Especially considering Hermione isn't 100% right now and the last thing she needs is a row. )

Okay. Just be careful.

Thank you for your concern.
