Fifty-third Spell

This hasn't happened in the castle for a while, but people are arriving who share faces with other people. It can be very unsettling. Especially if... if one of those faces is someone who was a very unpleasant person. You know these two people aren't the same but you can't help feeling uneasy.

[she's honestly still a little shaken up about it. She's told herself over and over that this is the Doctor, who is a dear friend of hers]

Anyway, I don't know if anybody's read it, but Dr. Saunders wrote a report some years ago detailing this phenomenon.

A lot of people learn what they think are the solid rules of the universe, and don't like learning they might be wrong.

[courageous_wit]

Yes, that's true. Even wizards are that way, and we live with magic.

[freeslider]

I guess it's more a 'being human' thing.

[courageous_wit]

Not exactly. Centaurs can be pretty stubborn in their ways, too.

[freeslider]

[She chuckles] Maybe there's a better phrase for that, though I'm not sure what that might be.

[courageous_wit]

I'm not sure, either...

[freeslider]

We'll have to work on that.
