Eighth (lack of sleep note) accidental video post.

[11calls]

[So when the message turns on, the phone is at an odd angle for Alex who normally just does audio posts. But it's being filmed from above her, even though you can see that she's not holding it. Or not standing on the ground either. Instead, the red of the sofa in Alex's office is seen, and she is standing on it and jumping up to try and reach the phone.

Or the coffee that is also hovering just out of reach. Or her laptop which ditto.]

Come on, what the fuck is happening right now.?! Oh my gawd, just come here!

[And she jumps again, but realizes that the light is on on her phone.]

Um. Help? Things just starting doing this!

[And she waves her hand to indicate what this is, making the items move in time with it like she's scrolling through her ipad. Guess who's got magic now!]

[Alex you are doing her a concern.]

If you stop moving your hands, does everything stop moving?

[11calls]

[Alex is just going to frown and stop moving her hands, and what do you know? Things stop.]

Oh what the hell?

[seeingscarlet]

[siiiiiiigh that's what she thought. takes one to know one.]

Should I come over? I could try to explain from here but I can't help if something goes wrong.

[Well. More wrong.]

[11calls]

IT can get more wrong?

[Wanda, things are flying beyond her reach! How can it get more wrong?]

[seeingscarlet]

For me, yes. For you, maybe not.

Try not to make any fast or sudden movements.

Oh my god. I can't have magic. I'm me!

Even I think that's probably a bad idea.

[Alex Reagan has a moment of self awareness. Coupled with her clenching her hands tightly together and making the coffee mug hit the ground in front of her. Thankfully, it's empty.]

[seeingscarlet]

[She tries not to wince. Yikes, this definitely needs an intervention. There's no reason for Alex to struggle through this alone when Wanda's already been through it herself.]

Did anything strange happen before this?

[11calls]

Nope! Just a normal day. Got up, rowed this morning, had breakfast and came to work. There's nothing weird about it until this.

[Alex is trying (and failing) to keep the concern out of her voice.]

[seeingscarlet]

And nothing yesterday? [Hmmmmm...]

I'm on my way. Just try to stay calm.

[11calls]

Nope. I mean, yesterday was even less normal because Lizze's gone and I didn't have my defense classes.

And oh my god, how do I make this stop?!

[seeingscarlet]

Try not to move your hands around too much. Just focus on your breathing.

[11calls]

Like square breathing relaxing?

[Okay, that's something she can do.]

[seeingscarlet]

It helps me. Just try to stay calm until I get there.

[A tall order, given the circumstances, but Wanda knows from experience that it's just going to get worse if she doesn't.]

[11calls]

I'm... [Alex was at a loss for words, which honestly was never that good when you were her, but she did nod quickly.]

Working on it.

[Which was much better than not working on it by miles.]
