[ BEHOLD... a teen witch sitting on his bed. He seems way too energetic, considering he's indoors and doing nothing. (lbr he's nursing a magic-high right now, and it's got him feeling both restless and aimless at the same time.) ]

Hey, show of hands, who here's got too much free time right now? [ HE'LL START. Look at that hand go up. ] Come on, at least one of you watching raised your hand, too. So let's do something about it. Get drunk in public, find a corner to loiter on, a shop to vandalize, you know, normal kids' stuff.

[ He grins. ]

Kidding! [ With a shrug and a careless wave of his hand. ] I'd get up to way worse than that if I wanted to be a public menace. [ Still kidding? EH. ]

Anyway, I can't be the only one here with nothing better to do, so who wants to play a game of Would You Rather? Look, I can even start:

[ He claps his hands together and makes a show of thinking. ]

Would you rather... Have superpowers, but die young. Or be perfectly average, and live a long, painfully uneventful life?

I neither know who this Brad Pitt is nor what a movie might be. Only that you were lucky not to have been married by now against your will. I was sixteen when I was sold.

( Don't ask what her pastimes were back that, it's depressing. )

My country was being faced with war on two front; one of the armies comprised of dead men, one hundred thousand strong, if not even more.

I would welcome monotony.

And do they have these plays here? ( Yeah, the next bit is more important in her mind: ) By my brother, yes; to a man much older than I was. Technically, he might have done so when I was thirteen if the opportunity had presented itself.

( Not as if she'd enjoyed it, and she intends to change that now. But it is what it is. ) What is the norm, aside from watching plays which have been recorded?

The reason may be a sound one, but no one needs one of those to not want to die young. Somehow I don't believe that's part of that 'norm' you spoke of before.

He was a complete piece of crap, as you put it. My husband executed him. All the same, however: he was still my brother.

( Her life has been plenty interesting and terrible without having superpowers and dying young.

She envies him a little, that such a thing would be enticing. )


And is that the same here? ( Her head tilts, too. Hm. ) I can't disagree; I've done the same. Perhaps that's a universal truth.

What manner of power do you wield?

Opportunities are made far more often than they're given.

( She'll just leave that there. )

Show me.
