I've started singing again. Nothing serious, it's just a couple of nights a week at this little jazz lounge in Freyr, but it's nice to be start doing something so familiar again. And I don't want to get rusty.

So - I don't know - if anyone ever wants to drop by the address is here. [She's switching over to text briefly to type out the lounge's location, then it's back to audio!] It's got some pretty good food and drinks, so it's worth checking out!

[And then her tone turns slightly more awkward, because this is kind of a personal subject.] Oh, and does anyone know if there's anything that's sort of like... books that explain how to write? Stories, I mean. Fake things that are completely one hundred percent not true. I've never done it before, so I don't know if there are specific rules or what.

[What? It's a totally benign request and has nothing to do with a desire to try writing romance-y things about people she may or may not know.]

[Filtered away from John Allerdyce]

Hey, what kinds of things should a person expect if she happened to be going on a date with someone and it involved burgers? What should I even wear...?

Black... magic? [That sounds bad.]

In a way, yes, but it is banned in my world.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Mhmm. Instead of holy magic, or runic or elemental.

How come?

[Audio]

[ex_surprising150]

Well, because the King found it evil. And I am sure if he heard something like "black magic", then he would have banned it.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

I see. What about other kinds of magic?

[Audio]

[ex_surprising150]

I guess all kinds? But they are all viewed as evil.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Really? That's a little ridiculous.

[Audio]

[ex_surprising150]

In a way yes. And at times, the punishments are too harsh. [She knows.]

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

[That's sobering her up a bit.]

What are they?

[Audio]

[ex_surprising150]

Death... [She didn't mean for the conversation to turn so serious. But seeing how she was nearly killed and her father was killed, she can't help but be serious.]

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

[That doesn't surprise her.]

Ah... I read about humans killing witches at the library....

[Audio]

[ex_surprising150]

Ah, yes. It is something Uther did, and something that both my father and myself got caught up in.
