Quest 141

[Accidental Video Post]

[Here is Rosella, sitting quietly in the Library with her nose buried in a dusty old book with a leather-bound cover. Next to her is a tall stack of books, equally dusty and equally leather-bound, and all of which look relatively ancient. It's not necessarily a neat stack, so some of the spines are turned away from the camera, but of the few that can be read, there is a common theme--all have something to do with symbols, iconography, or runology.

The book Rosella is currently poring over, when she tips it in such a way that the cover can be read--perhaps as she turns a page--is entitled, "The Good Housekeeper's Book Of Common Icons and Enchanted Runes", and every so often she retrieves a piece of notebook paper from the table next to her, holding it up in comparison to a page in the book. After each comparison, she pauses, frowns, and resumes reading once again, occasionally muttering to herself.

...May have the unfortunate side effect of causing carrots to sprout from one's--no, that's not it...

[After a short while, she eventually glances over, and notices her Network device is on.]

Oh, drat it all. How long have you been on?

[She reaches for the device, presumably to turn its recording off, but then pauses and glances at her piece of notebook paper once again. After a moment of consideration, she picks up the paper and holds it up for the camera:]



Well...oh, it couldn't hurt to ask, anyway. I don't suppose anyone could tell me what it is this symbol means, could you?

[She gives the camera a single hopeful look, then reaches for it as if to switch it off, and the feed abruptly ends.]


[OOC: So yeah, three guesses which canon bled over into Rosella's yesterday, and the first two don't count. She's currently convinced that the design itself is some kind of magic symbol of power, and she's trying to figure out what it is. Have at her? =D

EDIT: Regarding potential fourth-walling--fourth wall away as much as you want, as far as Zelda canon information goes, but just don't tell her outright that it's a video game, please?]

What are you doing?

Well, trying to figure out what those triangles mean, mostly. I think they have something to do with how I was cursed yesterday.

SOB BEDTIME

Hm.

I don't know what it means, but be careful.

SLEEP WELL! <3

I will, I promise. I'm only looking, and I tried not to take any of the books that looked like spellbooks, either. Only the guidebooks.

Okay, good. I really think you should find a teacher for magic, Rosella.

I suppose that wouldn't be such a bad idea, really, if I could only find someone that does magic the way I do magic. I asked Mr. Harry Dresden once, but it turned out he couldn't teach me because the way we do it is different.

Which way do you use magic?

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2009-11-18 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I have to have a magic wand and ingredients and a spellbook in order to cast spells which reminds me, I ought to look into Iconomancy while I'm here and things, but Mr. Dresden manages it...sort of from inside himself, I think? And I can't just pull it from inside myself, it seems.

I wish Frau were here.

Although you never know if she would be willing to teach anyone.

Frau?

Merlin helped me once, too, when he was here...but I think he and I had the same problem as Mr. Dresden and I did.

She's the best witch I know. She knows all kinds of magic.

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2009-11-18 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
She's...one of the good variety of witches, then? Not the evil sort?

[identity profile] playstheblues.livejournal.com 2009-11-18 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh. Well. She's good now.

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2009-11-18 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Er. Well, that's good! I'm glad that such a powerful witch is on the side of good now.
