Dueling Club, Tuesday, Danger Shop, 5:00 PM

As per her conversation yesterday with Professor Orpheus, Luna keyed in a sequence to the danger shop that caused it to set up things to look more like a playground than a setting for proper duels.

Because people really didn't need to be dueling when they had children in tow, and Luna had two with her.

Anyone who happened by was completely welcome to come in and enjoy some play time.

[ooc:OPEN TO EVERYONE not just Dueling Club members! OCD is up! Ummm, yeah, I was totally channeling weetiny when I typed Freshments! In my head? Totally said Refreshments! *face.hands*]

Byron is a single Dad and is wise in the ways of children.

Mostly.

Well, he's got a ziploc baggie of cheerios... So he must be good with kids...

Right?

A girl tapped him on the arm.

"Yes?"

"Why can't I have a bathroom in the Northwest corner?" This had bothered Peri since yesterday.

"You most certainly may have a bathroom in the Northwest corner. But not, in the Northeast."

"Why not?"

"Because it's the best place for portals."

"Why would you put a portal in the bathroom? That's silly."

"You're right, that would be silly. That's why you use the closet."

"...how do you find your clothes?"

"Oh they're still in there... you might not want to keep clothing in there but you could. Since the magical portal needs to be opened with a few words as well as the act of opening the door."

"Why would you keep one in your home?" Peri asked. Not that she hadn't heard stories of something similar once being her Grams' basement, but that was below the house. It made a difference in her mind.

And yes, she would keep asking questions till she ran out of things to ask.

Byron has played this game before and knows that eventually, most children do run out.

"Because it isn't nice to put portals in houses that are not yours."

"Do people do that?"

"Only mean people."

"There are lots of mean people." Peri said. "Can you really do magics without a wand?"

"Yes, I can in fact." Byron said making witchy-fingers at the craft table.

Several items floated up into the air and began to assemble themselves into a little crown.

Peri ~~does not ask if witchy-fingers are like spirit-fingers~~ watched with rapt attention.

"Mummy makes jewelry too, but she uses her wand." Peri? Was doing that 'in awe' thing.

"Well, wands are perfectly serviceable. I sometimes use magical paraphernalia myself."

The crown floated over to Peri and hovered in the air before her.

witchy fingers is like "finger wiggle" but with the fingers more bent. If you even saw the Movie "Ed Wood"? It's the thing Bella Lagosi does. "You have to be Hungarian, and you have to be double jointed."

Peri was completely distracted by ~~shiny objects~~ the crown. "Paraf... paree... para what?"

"Paraphernalia... It means... stuff." He said.

"Go ahead and take it dear."

"Are you sure?" Peri asked reaching out for the crown. "And what kind of stuff?"

"Yes certainly. All little girls should have a very sparkly hat." Byron said. "Oh all sorts of stuff. Wands, talismans, charms, pointy hats with moons and stars. That sort of thing."

"Thank you." Peri took the crown and placed it on her head. Then tried out the new word. Not absolutely getting it right, but that was ok, she could grow into it. "Par-a-phe-nal-ia. I like the sound of that."

"It's a good word." Byron nodded. "Rrrrrolls trippingly off the tongue."
