Fun with Magic | Friday, First period

[nuclear_snide]

Class was inside again today, and the Danger Shop was...a big, white room. Bob was beaming at them.

Literally. He raised his hands, and the air around them sparkled, waves of colour expanding out. "This week - art!" he explained. He made a tossing motion at the wall, and a rainbow appeared and stuck there. "Touch whichever colour you like, then draw with it. Paint with it. Whatever you like. Scrub your hand through it to erase." He demonstrated.

"Enjoy!"

Re: Art!

Ada started with a deep blue, but not for the reasons Chester or Duncan or any of the others would have assumed (worried). Dark red, dark yellow, brighter, black and green-black and a luminescent color so bright it hurt.

It wasn't a memory that Ada could pin down any more than anyone else could remember the first time they recognized their house as where they lived. But rising out of the night came the Miller Family Carnival. Or at least, a very small part of it, as seen by a girl taking a nap under another ride during a break. Maybe from a summer when she was five, or fifteen, but Ada didn't need to think to know what color went where.

Bob looked at it, and the lights started blinking, the carousel turning. "Home?" he asked.

Ada tilted her head to consider her masterpiece, as if she hadn't really thought about it. "Yes," she said finally. "Part of it, anyway."

"Only part of this is home, or this is only part of home?" Bob asked.

"Depends," Ada said with a shrug. "We don't got enough space, some things don't go up. But there's more than this, but everyone draws Ferris wheels for carnivals."

Ada, for the record, was not everyone.
