[Video] I'll put a spell on you...

[mincingminuet]

[Today's video with Penelope sitting in the little recording booth she has set up at home, looking bright eyed and bushy tailed as always. ]

Hello everyone.

I've got a something I want to bring up. It's about these nightmares don't seem to be going away. I know I cannot be the only one that's been having trouble sleeping, and I figured they'd faff off after a few days but apparently not and it's cutting into everyone's rest.

Last month, Retrospec gave me a temporary solution for it, and I thought it'd be fair to offer it over the network. It's just a way to get rest, and it won't do anything for the actual nightmares, but that's better than nothing.

Now, some of you are going to think I sound insane, but I'm one of the lucky Retrospec users that's also been given magical powers. I can cast spells. Actual for real magic spells. One of which is a sleep spell that puts you into a restful slumber basically as soon as I'm done casting it. I've been using it on myself and several people close to me that agreed to it for a few weeks now just to test for side effects, and there are none. I think the actual spell wears off after about an hour, but by then you're already asleep and it takes an outside stimulus to wake you up.

I have to be able to see you, and again it won't stop the nightmares. But, if you need help actually getting into Dreamland, please let me know. We can work out a schedule for me to play Sandman for you.

[She pauses, reaching to cut the video feed, and then stops.]

Also, an unrelated question. Are there any chemists or metallurgists on the network? I got something weird and I wanna know what it's made of.

Just moving boxes to a shed I'm building.

[mincingminuet]

I can do that.
Heck, I can even just send you a video of it and my tomato.

[mincingminuet]

It is a hospital, I'd hope so.

Any idea when you're getting out?

[mincingminuet]

I'll be there.

[mincingminuet]

Sure. I'll see you at 8.

[twelfthspark]

I know metal doesn't really stain, but who wants to get their gold all bloody anyway?

[commandertoolbelt]

your whetstone?
holy crap pen
are you sure it's not just tipped with diamond

sounds boring

[mincingminuet]

Well, I'd say more that metal is soft and if it hit a bone it'd bend.

But that's a thought for Other Pen and not me.

[mincingminuet]

Consider it's definitely not tipped with diamond and it's definitely all one piece.

I think it's not boring so much as just not me.

[cattack]

Hopefully, before the end of the month.
I've got some healing magic of my own, but it's hard to focus enough to use it here, and I can hardly tell them to let me go without the medicine for a bit.

[heiroglyphs]

That doesn't sound too bad.
Sure I can help out.
Just looking for more space?

[twelfthspark]

Other Pen lol
I'd tell you you sounded crazy if I didn't know exactly what you meant.

Moving this to inbox if that works. Makes tracking easier.

[mincingminuet]

Trust the docs.

I'll see you in a few hours.

[mincingminuet]

Yep.
I'm honestly considering buying this house from the owner if they'll sell.
It'd make setting up work that much easier when I graduate.

[mincingminuet]

Other Pen will fuck you up.
She seems really violent.

Also, she's a pirate?

[twelfthspark]

Seriously? Like yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum, that kind of pirate?

[me_matey]

man LAST time i crashed on yalls couch i woke up to giant land and had to wrestle ur dog to save minako

[mincingminuet]

Well, I'm leaning towards 'sky pirate' and less towards 'fifteen men on a dead man's chest.'

works for me!

[cattack]

I do. I just don't want to try to explain magic to them...
I'll see you soon.
Thank you.

[lingeringwill]

that's not what makes you weird

Guess we'll see, huh?
Fwiw i feel a bit better about it now, i guess

I think i just needed to verbalize it

[heiroglyphs]

What would you be doing differently for work if you owned it?

[commandertoolbelt]

wow
okay maybe now i'm a little interested in this metallurgist thing
that's kind of impressive

[belligerentwarrior]

what, you more scared of that than your nightmares?

[mincingminuet]

I hope so!

And I understand.
I was like that myself for a while, and I had a hard time dealing with it all until I actually spat out what I was really feeling.

[mincingminuet]

I'd convert the garage into a proper studio.
I'd also do more than build a shed. I'd add literal extensions onto the house.

I could buy another house I guess but this one is comfortable.
And I think the owner will sell, honestly.
