Everything You Need to Know About Magic (but Were Afraid to Ask) [Week 1, Period 1]

Bright and early on Thursday morning, an eccentric woman waited by the main campfire for her students to arrive. At her feet sat a brown bag made of animal skin, possibly alligator or crocodile. Surely it hadn't curled up there. Bags couldn't curl up. Could they? Either way, the lady in question looked rather like someones grandmother, in a long velvet bohemian dress.

"Good morning children! I trust you are all well this fair Thursday. I shall be teaching this workshop, and I am Agatha Cromwell. For the time being, you are welcome to call me Miss Aggie." Aggie smiled warmly at the gathered students. She threw her arms wide open. "Welcome to, Everything You Need to Know About Magic but Were Afraid to Ask! I hope you will enjoy this course as much as I expect to!" She then bent down and opened her bag from which she with drew a chair. She then took a seat.

"I have been practicing and teaching magic for many, many years. I have taught my daughter and her children, most recent of these is my granddaughter Sophie. And what a time we had!" Aggie laughed and clasped her hands together in delight. "But before I tell you anymore about that, let me tell you what I hope to teach you this summer. That we'll discuss magic is a given. Beyond that, I would like to delve into divination, magical beings, time and interdenominational travels, magical methods of communication, magical space, and the responsibility that comes with being a magic user."

Aggie paused for a moment to catch her breath and regarded her students. "Well, I suppose that's enough information form me for a little while. Now I'd like you to tell me a little about you. Start with your name please," Did her bag just creep closer to where she sat?, "and then continue with your magical abilities, experience or interest. I am glad to have each and everyone one of you in this workshop and thrilled that so many of you have taken an interest in that which may be foreign to you."

She looked to the student closest to her on her left hand side and said, "would you be so kind as to get the ball rolling, dear?"

[ooc: First Workshop of Thursday. Up early as I won't be in from NEW JOB until 6:30 PM EST. Slow play is love! Please wait for the OCD is up! I'm soon for bed!]

"Definitely not everything," Chris agreed. "But maybe it's something we should tell her in person."

"Maybe we should call her and see if we can visit?" Wyatt suggested. "This weekend?"

Chris nodded. "Sure, that works. I don't have anything going on."

"Me neither," Wyatt said. "We can call her up this evening and ask if it's okay that we visit."

"No more expensive plane tickets and cramped seats," Wyatt said happily. "Being half-whitelighter really does have its perks."

"It totally does," Chris agreed with a grin."

"You want to call Mom, or me?" Wyatt said. "Or we both could."

"Doesn't matter," Chris said. "Hopefully she doesn't have plans with her boyfriend this weekend."
