[Friends]

[Phoebe sounds BESIDE herself with excitement] I have an amazing announcement to make. [pause for dramatic effect] Peter proposed! We're getting married!

We haven't even started thinking about a date yet but I couldn't wait to tell everyone.

[/filter]

[Phoebe may have been married once before but that wedding had been... well... a little creepy once she actually stopped to think about it. So she was determined to actually have as close to her dream wedding as possible. The fact that her sisters couldn't be there left a hole in her heart but she knew that they would want her to be happy. Besides - there's always the chance that they'd come back in time for the wedding, wouldn't that be something?

It's such a beautiful day and she's in too good a mood to spend it inside so she's sitting outside in a lawn chair sipping iced tea and leafing through a bridal magazine she found in the library. (Besides, her new ring just looks so pretty in the sunlight)]

You know, there's been so much negative talk lately. Even if things aren't going so well thinking positively is always the first step to turning it all around. Everyone should think of one good thing that's going on in their lives right now. Even if it's small there's always at least one.

((OOC: Open for Journals or in person. Forward dated to Friday.))

[she laughs] Yeah nothing like trolls where I'm from. I'd like to meet them sometime.

[ectobabble]

Sure thing! I'll have to introduce you. I bet you'd really like Aradia, she's really interested in magic...

[kungfuwitch]

I'd love that! And I always love spreading a little magic around, too. [she chuckles] I actually had to turn someone into a toad before he believed me that magic was real.

[ectobabble]

You ... HA! You really turned someone into a -- oh, Phoebe, that's -

[he laughs]

-- that's just too funny. ... [ahem] You did change him back, right?

[kungfuwitch]

[She joins his laughter. What? It's infectious!]

Of course I did. Of course then he criticized my rhyming skills. It took a little while before we became friends after that one.

[ectobabble]

Rhyming skills.....? [hmmmm]

Your ex-toad wouldn't happen to be named Once-ler, would'ee?

[kungfuwitch]

He would be, yes. I take it you know him?

[ectobabble]

Yeah, we met at Camp Half-Blood, we were in the Hephaestus cabin together. We invented a bunch of neat stuff, me and him and Billy ...

[his voice drops a little at that. Billy. his science buddy. sniffle]

[kungfuwitch]

We've only spoken over the journals so far. He wouldn't believe me when I told him magic was real sooo... [She magicked him into a toad]

[ectobabble]

Ha, nice. I ... shouldn't laugh, it's probably not really fun to be a toad at all, but. Well, it's kind of classic, too. ... I didn't know your spells worked over distances like that, that's handy.

[kungfuwitch]

As long as you have a clear goal in mind and are specific enough in your wording it can work.

[Having been on the receiving end of such a long distance spell before...]

[ectobabble]

So you could protect someone, if you knew they were in trouble, from hearing it over the journal? And not have to actually go to them? ... Phoebe, that's great!

[kungfuwitch]

I haven't tried to do that yet... but I might be able to do something, yeah.

[ectobabble]

Let me know if you need help practicing? I could probably use it, too. I ... try not to use the spell you showed me unless I really need it.

[kungfuwitch]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. [She smiles] good. Magic should never be used for personal gain or abused. I can show you more if you'd like.
