II: [ Accidental Voice ] Magic Hour

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

[ There's a sound of pages rustling. With everything that has happened in Taxon - dangerous vampires running amok, crazy people bombing everything regardless of intentions or who they'd hurt - Piper feels as though she should do something. She consults The Book of Shadows and while she's not sure it will work, she decides to give it a try. ]

In this night and in this hour
I call upon the Ancient Power
Heed my words, I beseech thee.

In this circle that is our home
protect us from the evils that roam
And ensure our safety.

[ she waits for something to happen - but after a pathetic puff of smoke in the air, nothing did. She sighs.] Right. Of course that won't work.

It's... more of a hunch, really. I just... I have a feeling this sort of spell needs more than just my powers.

Are you a witch, too?

I'm not, no. But the amount of people here who are, or who can do some kind of magic, is really interesting. Especially since it seems like there's all kinds of different types.

It is. To be honest I'm surprised at just how... accepting the people are here when it comes to magic. Where I come from, it's usually something of a secret.

It doesn't really exist where I'm from. [ and her tone gets a bit wistful. ] But I've been here long enough to have become a little more open-minded about what's possible and what's not.

It doesn't? [ she's very surprised here. ]

But yeah. Being trapped in here is kind of an eye-opener, isn't it?

[ voice ]

[ltnuhura.livejournal.com]

Not that I'm aware of, but then again, I'm from a later time than most people I've met who are also trapped here.

It is. [ pause. ] How long have you been here?

[ voice ]

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

About a month, now. [ she sighs. ] And what a hell of a month it has been. How about you?

By the way, I've yet to give you my name, I think? I'm Piper. Piper Halliwell.
