Magic Broomstick

OK, I don't normally show the stuff I get from Retrospec on the app unless it is REALLY weird (ex. the owl and the accent). But THIS! THIS IS SO COOL! IT'S A MAGIC FLYING BROOMSTICK! And it's apparently a Nimbus 2001 (no idea if that is a model number or year make) and man it is fast! Can we all just admire the the sleekness of this broom, the foot holds, and I'm pretty sure there is some kind of magical cushion so it doesn't hurt to sit on it!

It looks really fancy! Like in those stories about witches? With them riding brooms with their cats?

I wonder how fast the broom is? I was initially wondering on sitting on it but I suppose it isn't much if any different to my staff.

Showin' everybody your magic broomstick, huh?
Hoping you can get people to give it a good ride?

[Lillian...]

[blondferret]

I don't think my cat would want to ride on teh end of it, but yes, like a broom a witch or wizard would ride. It is fairly fast in my opinion, but I don't have anything to really compare it to.

[Derek just stares at his phone for a good five minutes before typing back an answer. Oh my gosh Lillian, what are you doing to him?]

Concerning the Nimbus 2001, I would only offer rides to close friends and family, or someone I thought was cute. However, not just anyone can ride on MY broomstick. They'd need special permission for that.

[If Derek wasn't completely red before, he is now.]

[geckoman]

What

[No seriously. That's all he can think of to say.]

[blondferret]

Iwai! Did I never mention that my other self is a wizard and goes to a wizarding school in the UK?

[broomdance]

but does it actually fly or are they just messing with you

[blondferret]

Of course it can fly. I've already flown on it. It's actually quite fun to ride.

A Magic. Flying. Broomstick.

[Seriously?]

[geckoman]

Pretty sure my first reply still makes the most sense

[lostapprentice]

[........ Ren is squinting.]

i don't know whether to make fun of this or be jealous.

[He loves driving but think of how easy it would make the commute??]

[blondferret]

Yes! A Magic. Flying. Broomstick.

[blondferret]

If you're going to make fun of it, I challenge you to show me something more impressive that you've received from Retrospec.

[Ren, don't diss the Nimbus 2001.]

[blondferret]

The guy in my memories is a wizard Iwai. Magic wand, spells, magic school, and apparently a magic flying broomstick.

[lostapprentice]

[Oh, now it's on.

Ren attaches a picture of what is pretty clearly a sword made out of some manner of red light. It's from the point of view of him holding it in front of him and taking a photo with his phone, with his apartment in the background.

... also yeah, that's all he sends.]

[keystaff]

Nothing to compare it to. I wonder if it could go faster than Fly?

[geckoman]

Well I'd say that's a new one but my boyfriend can do magic. Guess I just never pictured you as the broomstick type.

[toobigtohandle]

Why would you need that.

[insantafe]

That’s all? A flying broomstick?
No pointed hat? No cauldron full of potions? Not even a black cat or a gingerbread house?

[broomdance]

PFFFFFFFFF

that image is HILARIOUS i gotta see

[blondferret]

[See, normally Derek would have brought out a picture of his Eagle Owl with a 6ft wing span, but that picture. It looks like something right out of Galaxy Battles! Derek know that Ren is going to expect a gushing response... and well... Derek is def going to give him one.]

IS THAT A AURA SABER FROM GALAXY BATTLES????

[blondferret]

Technically a pointed hat, a cauldron, and a potions kit is on acceptance letter supply list, so I might be getting that eventually. Also, I already have a cat, though I didn't get that from Retrospec, I got an Eagle Owl instead.

[blondferret]

One of your cards can make you fly?

[blondferret]

Apparently he is? I only have one memory with him and a broomstick and he's not even riding it yet. He's in a broomstick flying class and one of his classmates brooms looses control and he falls from his broom and breaks his wrist. I don't know what happens after that.

[blondferret]

It's a mode a travel for witches and wizards. Come on Kenta, it's fun! Are you familiar with that concept?
