Class 4: Magic

[jareth-the-king.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Just so you know, if you're showing up and attempting the assignments, you're passing, no matter how bitchy Jareth gets about it. Sorry this is so late. I had crazy RL stuff to deal with. Also, if you haven't noticed by now, Jareth likes getting people's names wrong, on purpose.]

Today's Lecture:


"We've so far introduced manipulation and myth. Now I will introduce magic. How many of you think you know magic? Can you give me a definition?

Jareth waits, looking around the class.

"Magic is manipulating things and people in ways that others don't or can't. We are going to try an experiment." He twists his hands and a crystal appears.



Then a crystal appears in front of each of the students.

"This will show you your dreams--if you can manipulate it correctly. Too little, you will not see anything. Too far, and your dreams will seem like reality.

"Find partners and take turns...attempting to see. If your partner stops responding, raise your hand and we'll all take a little stroll into their dreams to fish them out."

*looks for a partner*

Teach? What exactly do you mean by "your dreams"?

*eyes crystal warily*

"Callisto? I'll be your partner. You're the only one in here I'd trust to be there when that things shows whatever it does."

Thanks. But I'm still not going to look into this thing until Jareth clarifies what they're meant to show us.

*smiles back*

I agree with you. There are some things that I don't trust being shown like it sounds.

Especially in a class with the word Manipulation in the title.

Your dreams. The things you want, but won't necessarily get.

Your partner cannot see what you see, because they are your dreams. Unless they overwhelm you and I have to fish you out.

Somehow that doesn't reassure me...

*looks at Illyana*

You want to go first, or should I?

[thedarkchylde.livejournal.com]

Illyana looks from the crystal to Callisto.

"I'll go first."

That way if it really is dangerous I won't have to see you suffer.

Be my guest.

Just remember I don't have nifty pyshic powers in case you get stuck.
