Don't have ice skating in your world?

Permalink

Jump, twirl, backflip, double backflip, what if she goes into a jump with more momentum...

Don't have a big enough lake in Doriath that we aren't using for water and irrigation. And it'd be a lot of work for Mum to keep it frozen safely.

You're going to attract attention leaping around like that. People'll think you're a pro.

Permalink

What's a pro?

Permalink

Professional. Somebody who devotes most of their time to ice skating and competes and earns money doing it.

Permalink

I'd like that! This is fun!

Permalink

And you'd be good at it! But probably fall back on "I don't speak English" if anyone asks you about your skating career.

Permalink

Okay.

If she takes off right she can shoot straight into the air, way up. If she does it with some twist she can spin around. This is so much fun! More flips! How fast can she go?

Permalink

And try to obey the laws of physics! The fluffs are supposed to think you aren't magic yet. If they ask I boosted you.

Permalink

Ooops, sorry, I wasn't even doing magic on purpose there I was just curious what I could do. 

Permalink

You're probably fine, just careful.

Permalink

Of course.

She restrains herself to loops. Stunningly pretty and precise loops.

Permalink

And they kill time until nightfall and then go dowsing. Dowse dowse. Heeeeere witchy witchy witchy.

Permalink

It is kind of amazing how much Bella knows how to do.

Permalink

- and there's a witch, but they're not here to fight it. Up they go on a nearby roof to wait for someone else to wander by. "Might not find anybody tonight."

Permalink

That's okay. Kyubey said he'd- she'd? - get back to me, anyway.

Permalink

Don't think the fluffs go in for the concept of gender, I usually go with 'it', most people say 'he', I've heard 'she', fluffs don't care.

Permalink

We used 'it' for orcs until someone asked me 'does that make it easier to kill them even when they're children?' and I decided it did and maybe not entirely in a good way. The fluffs really don't seem to be like people at all, though.

Permalink

They self-avowedly have no emotions and do not care if they're killed, at least not in any quantity I've managed. I'm pretty sure the 'fluff' design is specifically intended to appeal to teenage girls and is not an accurate representation of whatever species or group of species is using the energy they collect.

Permalink

I was hoping I could get something about it but I guess there's no reason the fluffs would even know.

Permalink

They may, but they don't necessarily dwell on it, why would they.

Permalink

It didn't seem to think about anything other than how best to recruit me.

Permalink

Yeah. And if it ever decides that the best way to recruit somebody is lots of true information about its background I've never seen any hint of it...

Permalink

Seems pretty unlikely to ever be the best way to recruit someone. Unless they had a lie detection power.

Permalink

Which nobody here starts with sans magic.
