Right.

[Alec appears in front of the camera with an enormous rack, antlers, that is. And while they aren't out of proportion exactly (well as in proportion as they can be to an otherwise human head) it would make a stag take a second look]

I've had these bloody things a month or more. [and it wasn't the only thing he had, but he wasn't talking about the rest of it.]

That thing is no help. [he jerked his thumb at the spectral whippet shaped grim gnawing on a squeaky toy that looked like a strangled chicken]

If anyone has any suggestion on how to get them to go away, I'd appreciate it. Anything short of a saw. I've tried meditation-- I've tried sleeping more. [though he'd failed at both. Probably because of the damned antlers]

I'm out of ideas.

And I think I've got something else now. Magic I mean. How the hell do you lot handle all this? I just want to go home and read a book for God's sake.

[though which home he really didn't want to think too hard about]

[also he hopes no one notices the user name as he didn't notice it until it was too late to do anything about it]

Because it's absolutely ridiculous and I hate it.

[it's too bloody embarrassing to do it that way and he couldn't even look himself in the mirror if he tried]

[lunarchain]

Clearly it must not be as ridiculous as the horns on your head?

Its not ridiculous, you should take it more seriously.

[ The poor lad deserves better frankly. ]

[scotch_egg]

It feels ridiculous. For me. I can't focus if I'm spouting....whatever. [he doesn't know how to say it's embarrassing or why it's embarrassing. Just that it is]

[lunarchain]

Alright just send me the text, there should be a reversal spell right? What words did you use? What sort of acronyms were you attempting?

[ Shes pinching her nose. ]

[scotch_egg]

I wasn't attempting anything, that's just it. I mean I was but nothing that straightforward. I just thought about it. Imagined it. Pictured it in my head. And then I was a bloody deer for half a month.

[lunarchain]

OH! Well... Then the opposite should be true no?

[ Interesting! She writes that down. ]

[scotch_egg]

What does that mean?

[he's not all that intuitive about magic]

[lunarchain]

Basically try to picture the horns off of your head, do the same thing but the opposite. Envision without it, as opposed to whatever you were envisioning in the first place. However, you need take it seriously or the same thing will happen in retrospect. If you do not trust yourself, you can see about finding someone with similar magic to help you take the spell off?

[ Its okay, shes rather use to the type of... Need to explain herself diligently. ]

[scotch_egg]

No. I don't have anyone to trust. Not with this. I'll just have to rely on myself. And you're right. I need to take this seriously.

[but no one said he had to like it]

Thank you.

[lunarchain]

I understand I am the same too. I don't trust others expertise especially if they do not come with some sort of lineage that I can trace back or follow. As it were, everyone here is starting together.

[ Mona is happy to get the thank you - she is actually kinda surprised. Normally her advice warrants cruel words or people denying it. ]

No problem, please tell me how it goes and if you are okay.
