[ Emma is waiting at the door of the bar, mostly making sure to mark anyone who is underaged with a black marker, so they don't drink. It doesn't cross her mind that they could just imagine it up, but oh well. Sighing, she looks inside, hoping to maybe go in an partake in a few drinks herself...

Maybe when she didn't have a job to do...]

Comments

i am pretty sure her getting in between waver and ryuunoske is ALL I NEED IN LIFE.

[gordianknots]

I freely admit I'm shit in a physical fight. Always have been, always will be. [he shrugs, and takes another shot] Also you assume that it'll even come back.

PERFECT.

[veraciously]

I don't assume, I know. It seems like some people's abilities are linked to the things they regain.

CONGRATS EMMA YOU DECKED A SERIAL KILLER?

[gordianknots]

True enough, but you know, there are worse things than being without the usual powers I posses.

Anyway, your mother is princess of what country, precisely?

ALL IN A DAYS WORK.

[veraciously]

[ Emma takes a swig of her beer, looking a little bit sheepish...]

Not really sure of the name. She is Snow White though, if that helps.

CONTINUING REASONS OF WHY EMMA IS THE BEST

[gordianknots]

[deadpan] Alternate timeline where fairy tales are real?

SHE TRIES.

[veraciously]

Well, I don't know about alternate. It's the same timeline, just a spell was placed on them and they ended up in the real world?

SHE DOES REALLY WELL!

[gordianknots]

--Yeah, I can see that happening. I've dealt with weirder.

THANKS. sorry for the late; 5 projects due this week...

[veraciously]

I'm sure you have. I think we all have, to be honest.

GODS BELOW at least the week's halfway through? ;;

[gordianknots]

Hanging out with Alexander the Great for a fortnight does wonders to one's weirdness immunity.

SOB I got 4 of them presented today, so one more to go!

[veraciously]

...Alexander the Great? [ She takes another swig ] You're joking right?

That's even /better/

[gordianknots]

Do me the favour of believing my ridiculously implausible yet true scenarios right off the bat as I did yours, hmm? [But Waver laughs for once] So no, not at all.

ahhh sorry for the late, I've been busy with mod stuff and school

[veraciously]

[ Emma laughs at that. ] Sorry, I guess I shouldn't even be surprised.

SSHHH NO SCHOOL AND MOD WORK COMES FIRST.

[gordianknots]

I'll give that it's still hard to imagine.

[He pauses, then grins] So let's ground both of us in reality. I'll give you one Alexander story for one about your mum.

[veraciously]

Alright, but only if you go first. [ She smiles to him ]

[gordianknots]

Fair.

[With that, Waver drains the rest of his glass. It's just enough time to put his thoughts in order.]

Among magi, there are a number of rituals that are ridiculous, stupid, bloody, pointless, or some combination of the above. The ritual that allowed me to summon forth Alexander the great was mostly bloody, and functioned on the principle of battle royale between seven summoned spirits of various heroes. You can guess who I was working with.

Anyway, spirits in this ritual are allowed to manifest weaponized versions of their legends. One of Alexander's was an ox-drawn chariot - a part of the Gordian knot business - that could you know, fly. So, as one does, he hefted a skinnier, smaller, nineteen year old version of myself into the cart, and went flying away to pick a fight.

[veraciously]

[ Emma listened and then snorted, imagining how small Waver must have been. ] Alright, so for mine, it's pretty complicated. The land my parents come from was taken over by a curse, causing them to forget me and everyone in their lives, just to live out a completely different one. This was caused by the Evil Queen Regina. I was stuffed in a magical wardrobe and sent to the "real world" to be protected from it.

[ She takes another swig of alcohol, then smiles ]

[gordianknots]

[About five foot one of British tsundere, Emma. You'd think it hilarious.]

Hm. Your magical wardrobe sounds like a TARDIS.

[veraciously]

[ There is a long moment of staring before...]

A what.

[gordianknots]

....You don't watch Doctor Who. Never mind.

Do, continue, the magic at play is fascinating.

[veraciously]

Well, apparently I was supposed to be the one to break the curse. A dragon fight and a few weird things later, and the spell was broken. Kind of weird to have parents the same age as me though.

[ Mostly because some of the things she talked about with her mom...]

[gordianknots]

Well dragons sound far more existing than what I've had to fight.

Ultimate question is she actually aware of this?

[veraciously]

My mom? or the Dragon?

[gordianknots]

Your mum! Although I'd be entertained if you were sitting around and befriending dragons.

[veraciously]

Aware that I'm the same age? Yeah, it's kind of strange, but at the same time, she didn't know when I was talking to her as a friend. The spell wiped their memories.

[gordianknots]

I see. That is...well really I'm not sure how to feel about it, or if it is my place to, considering it isn't really my family or my interpersonal relationships.
