May hops onto her broomstick and goes ZOOM.

Permalink

Edie does somewhat less ZOOM and more FLAP FWIP SWOOSH but this does NOT stop her from having a MARVELOUS time. 

She does however have to start the course over more often on account of a wingtip clipping some obstacle.

When May has gotten through the obstacle course at a moderate (not top-speed) clip once she alights back by Emily and Ava. "I'm definitely joining the aerialist club," she giggles.

Permalink

"Someday I'm going to be able to fly," she sighs enviously. 

Permalink

"It's so worth it!"

Permalink

"Is flying on a broom very different from flying without it?"

Permalink

"Yeah. I actually have three independent ways to fly, though they can kind of all cooperate. Wulongs can do it, and it's kind of tiring to do it all that way, like trying to go uphill in a wheelchair or swim really fast, but in a way that's more satisfying sometimes? Levitating's effortless, I can just hang in the air, I often sleep like that now especially when it's warm, and that's sort of like flying in dreams, if your flying dreams are like mine, stuff gets closer or farther away but there's not as much sense of movement. And the broom is like being in a convertible with the top down on the highway except in addition to having the top down the climate control and windshield are still doing their jobs."

"Ooh. Interesting. I can get a broom at some point, and I might be able to learn Levitation, but of course I can't turn into a Wulong...at least, I certainly don't think I can. And I'm not sure I'd want to even if I could, being a Luxal is very nice. But I might want to learn to turn into something with wings."

"I can see you in a magical ornithopter harness."

Permalink

"Ornithopter sounds vaguely like some mildly avian dinosaur but I don't actually recognize the word."

Permalink

"Uh, like a mechanical wing contraption."

Permalink

"--Oh. Okay. I definitely like the way you think."

Permalink

"Oh good. Mind, I have no particular clue how you'd enchant one but I bet we're in the right place to find out."

Permalink

"I bet we are!!! I'm going to bring this up in my intro engineering class."

Permalink

"Solid plan."

There's the student health center! There's the cafeteria, which is apparently open twenty-four hours a day! Ooh, look, a gigantic stadium-style structure for student theater and sports and rallies and stuff!

Permalink

The student health center advertises free contraception charms. Emily considers this sign thoughtfully. 

"I wonder if it's like the pill in that it affects menstruation." 

Permalink

"Huh, not a clue."

Permalink

"Why do you even care, Luxals don't menstruate," Ava snorts. 

Permalink

"--Wait, we don't?"

Permalink

"...Ah. Didn't come up?"

Permalink

"And I haven't been one long enough to notice!"

Permalink

"I still do but not this week so I don't feel a need to stop in and inquire."

Permalink

"I should get one anyway at some point. Not that I expect it to be immediately relevant, but I wouldn't like to be surprised, you know?"

Permalink

"Super legit, I should probably do the same thing on general principle. There are almost no boys here but that's less of a guarantee than it would be at Bryn Mawr or something."

Permalink

"It's not a guarantee at Bryn Mawr either, but there are probably more male witches here than there are trans girls there."
