Magical Theory (Wednesday, 2/22/2006, 4th Period)

"Today we're all about some history," said Jenny. "Check over this handout on the Salem witch trials and tell me what you think."


OOC: Class is up, but responses won't be coming 'til later this afternoon. However? This is one of the player's favorite historical events to read about, so very much looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with!

Wait for the OCD threads!

Xander inclined his head. "You probably can't, unless you live in some kind of society where that stuff's all public knowledge. The only way to really prove somebody's doing something by magic is with more of it, in which case, yay, you've just made yourself a target for burnination. Or if you live in Sunnydale, people chalk the whole thing up to gangs on PCP."

"So, suppose you were in Salem," Logan said, tapping his pen against his notebook, "and you knew that magic existed and people started having this wacky stuff happen to them. Would you blame the witches or the bread?" The pen slipped from Logan's hand and fell between his desk and Xander's.

Xander leaned down to grab the pen, then held it out to Logan. "Dude, after a semester and a half here? I'd blame the witches, the bread, the zombies, and the stealth water-balloon thrower. If it could possibly wack things up, it's probably involved."

"Thanks." As Logan took the pen from Xander, their fingers brushed for just a moment. [Tag!] "I guess anyone from Fandom would blame the food," Logan grinned.

"Honestly, so would anybody from Sunnydale who's not in the PCP-gangs camp. Remind me to tell you about the cursed chocolate that made the adults go all brain-breaky and hormonal sometime." Xander scratched the back of his neck. "Like just now, for instance. There's not a lot more to that story."

Xander flashed on certain things Buffy had said about how certain adults had been acting. With each other. "Uh. Yeah. You are."

"Nowadays, no one would believe the accusation of witchcraft in a normal town," Cordy added. "But back in the day it seems like every weird event was blamed on witches."

"And it's not like there was any real way to prove you weren't one, either."
