[Thanks to Larry not knowing how to operate a stepladder correctly, Phoenix is currently laid up in bed, blue cast on his right leg, and an endless stream of whining ever at the ready.

He's also incredibly bored. Painting and drawing got old long ago, and he can't seem to stay focused on anything he tries to read. Never mind that he could probably pretty easily get out of bed and actually do something despite his (not very severely) broken leg...

He whines, over-dramatic, into the journal.]

Don't trust Larry Butz, everybody... he'll just break your bones and make you miserable...

...on a related note, come and sign my cast.

[With a bit of apprehension, he adds a filter.]



Um... Trucy? ...mind keeping your uh... old man... company for a little while?

[Good lord but he feels ridiculous even asking this of a teenager he's only just recently met.]

I wouldn't tell you anyway! It'd be cheating! Besides, you're right! In movies, they always say one little change can change everything. One wrong step and the entire world could turn topsy turvy! [ And y'know, if events change, he might not end up adopting her. ]

Magic, mostly! It's pretty time consuming, practicing tricks and doing shows! I really want to be one of the best so it has to take up a lot of time!

Do you think you'll put on a magic show here in the castle? I bet people would love that!

[magicalwright]

Yeah, definitely! Otherwise, it'd go stale.

... Just got to work out what to do about Mr. Hat though...
