[Andrew clicks on and sounds very, very, very excited.]

Xanth! Xanth, I got it, I figured it out!

We... uh, I need chalk and--a-and some candles--five, I need five candles and, uhm...

Chalk? Did I say chalk? I probably did... We need to go somewhere wiiiith... a... big, open, hard floor. I mean, no carpet. Wood or tile or something.

Does that... sound ( Read more... )

What's going on between you and Xanth?

[Gideon knows there was some sort of spell involved and that it's been causing Xanth's injuries, but he doesn't know who cast it. Suspicion: he has it.]

couldbeavillain July 18 2010, 05:39:04 UTC

[GAH you're not Xanth. Andrew's excitement dwindles into nervousness in less than a heartbeat.]

Uhm... I, uh... I made a mistake and--and now I've got a solution? So... yeah.

ixgideonxi July 18 2010, 05:40:38 UTC

Mistake that involves a kid getting hurt? I should hope you'd have a solution to that.

[Gideon sighs; no sense in grilling this guy. His tone eases up and he seems a little bit less on-guard.]

I'm glad you're helping Xanth out. Or trying to.

couldbeavillain July 18 2010, 05:47:42 UTC

[Grilling or not, Andrew feels pressured to explain everything, even though he probably doesn't have to.] It--it was a mistake, I swear. I mean, I didn't get him hurt on purpose, I was trying to help. He had a problem and I really thought I could help mostly so I wanted to try and when I tried I just screwed up, but I'm definitely fixing it, I swear.

[OH GODS FINALLY]

Uh, uhm, okay! That-- that sounds fine! Sh-- should I go look on, uh, d-deck twelve for th-the stuff? D-Do you have a place i--in mind?

couldbeavillain July 18 2010, 05:42:40 UTC

Great! Sure! You do that! And... how about... uh... crap, I can't think of...

Wait, how about the top deck? That should work, I think.

brittlenerves July 18 2010, 06:02:34 UTC

That-- that works!

[In the background, Andrew might hear rushed footsteps and a door closing. Xanth is off to deck twelve!]

I'll, uh, I'll be there i-in a little bit, o-okay?

couldbeavillain July 18 2010, 19:53:22 UTC

Great! I'll be there!

[And Andrew will be waiting on the top deck in the biggest open space he could find holding a scrap of paper with lots of scribbles all over it.]

I have chalks.

What do you need them for?

[Audio] couldbeavillain July 18 2010, 19:57:13 UTC

W--well, I think Xanth is getting some from deck twelve, and, uh... he probably wouldn't want anyone to be there for this, so... [Honestly, it's Andrew who would be nervous having anyone watching this time. Herz watched the spell be cast and Andrew got nervous. That's probably a contributing factor into why it didn't work.]

But I only need the chalk to draw something, so I bet whatever Xanth finds will work. Probably.

[Audio] lightyourway July 19 2010, 16:31:23 UTC

Oh... Okay then.

[It's not really the answer she was looking for, but she's listened in on what Andrew said to Gideon. And she's kind of almost maybe sort of figured it out. Xanth had been having trouble sleeping because of a spell? And it was the reason he had been hurt?

Yeah she didn't get it. But it sounded like it was all going to be okay soon so...]

Good luck!

Thanks! I'll do my best!
