25 | In Which the Wizard is (Almost) Invisible [Dictated]

[strangewonders]

Oh, this is very clever.

[And the level of sarcasm in that statement could take down an elephant]

I suppose this is my punishment for not leaving well enough alone? Point taken. I'll stop meddling. Now if you could just make me resemble the housekeeping staff a little less, I'd be grateful.

[There's a pause, and then a muffled curse as he realizes that was public]

I suppose pleading with vaguely malevolent magic castles doesn't work, does it?

It never hurts to try.

[Which means no.]

[Dictated]

[strangewonders]

I believe that sort of logic is what got me into this situation in the first place.

[That, or it was a totally random whim, but if he was going to be punished, he would at least like it to be because he'd done something.]

[lord_wizard]

What happened this time?

dictated

[strangewonders]

I seem to have gone a bit... incorporeal.

It's very annoying.

dictated;

[lord_wizard]

When did it start? [The roundabout way of asking 'what did you do?', because the implication was certainly in there that he had]

dictated;

[strangewonders]

This morning. After breakfast, thankfully, or I would be not only insubstantial but substantially unfit for company.

dictated;

[lord_wizard]

That would have been a pity. [So much sarcasm]

So what was that about meddling?

dictated;

[strangewonders]

[There's a put-upon sigh]

I was trying to convince my workroom to be bigger. You would think a place that so clearly ignores physics wouldn't mind a little more spatial manipulation, but apparently...

dictated;

[lord_wizard]

[He allows himself a private wince since this assuredly leads back to their earlier conversation]

I see.

Well, perhaps it's stance on that is only temporary, given that I would not have been able to create the workrooms in the first place were that it's standing policy. We should be so lucky they still exist at all. [He doesn't sound particularly happy about it though]

dictated;

[strangewonders]

That's an awfully small comfort, though given how touchy the place has been lately, I probably should have been more cautious.

[Or less pushy. Probably less pushy, really]

And don't give it any ideas. It would be just our luck to have whole rooms start vanishing on us.

dictated;

[lord_wizard]

I often wonder if the castle truly requires us to speak these out loud in order to inflict them on us.

dictated;

[strangewonders]

I don't know... maybe we should take a survey.

[He's a little cranky, but being able to see through your own hand would do that to most people]

dictated;

[lord_wizard]

[Split ends would make Howl cranky, so Felix doesn't think much of this]

What else do you have to do with your time?

dictated;

[strangewonders]

[While that it utterly true, he's suffering here, Felix. Except not really. Ignore him.]

Nothing, at the moment.

dictated;

[lord_wizard]

Well then you'll have to make the best of it.

Re: dictated;

[strangewonders]

Oh, I'll get right on that.

[You can probably nearly hear the sound if him rolling his eyes]
