Twenty-fourth Spell

[courageous_wit]

I've been thinking about nargles. They usually infest mistletoe but I suppose they could be in other plants...

I can't imagine what brought them to mind. I haven't lost any of my belongings recently. But maybe I should get some butterbeer corks to be safe.

[...what, even.]

I have no idea what the hell you just said.

Dictated forever

[...Maybe it's the concussion. Maybe he heard that wrong. That has to be it]

...Could you repeat that, please?

Nargles...?

[courageous_wit]

It's all right. Not many people know about nargles.

dictated;

[courageous_wit]

Yes. They're mischievous creatures who often steal belongings.

and ever

[courageous_wit]

[sadly, no. No he didn't]

I was just saying how I should get a butterbeer cork necklace so I can ward off the nargles.

dictated;

[3_butterflies]

Oh, that's not very nice...

[sexyhitchhiker]

And corks keep them away.

[said in tone of disbelief]

[courageous_wit]

They have to be butterbeer corks.

dictated;

[courageous_wit]

Not at all, but you can ward them off with a necklace made from butterbeer corks.

dictated;

[3_butterflies]

Do we have any nargles here?

[sexyhitchhiker]

Butterbeer. What, do they put butter in beer or make it out of butter? [is that even possible?]

[courageous_wit]

Butterbeer is a popular drink from my world. But no, there's no butter in the beer.

dictated;

[courageous_wit]

I'm not sure... They're very difficult to spot.

dictated;

[3_butterflies]

What do they look like? I could keep an eye out for them...

[sexyhitchhiker]

Are nargles from your world too?

[courageous_wit]

They do, but most people don't believe they exist.

dictated;

[courageous_wit]

I've never seen one...

dictated;

[3_butterflies]

Oh! That really makes them harder to stop.

[sexyhitchhiker]

I'm guessing most pests aren't kept away by butterbeer corks.

[courageous_wit]

Of course not. Corks would hardly work against garden gnomes.

dictated;

[courageous_wit]

Butterbeer corks work as a ward against them.

[sexyhitchhiker]

You mean those ugly garden statues?

[courageous_wit]

No, actual garden gnomes. I haven't seen any in Paradisa's gardens but they do exist. If you think the non-magical ones are ugly, you should see the real ones.

[unfortunately it's hard to sell that when she's also insisting that nargles exist]

[sexyhitchhiker]

So we're talking about a creature that nobody else believes in and another that is there, but hasn't been seen.
