[Xellos floats lazily, resting on air, eyes closed, seemingly having a nap. He stretches a moment, and then sits cross-legged in the air]

A question for all of those involved with magic in their respective worlds, how exactly does it work where you are from? Things always seem to work slightly differently in each new place, and of course there is always plenty of room for creative individuals to revolutionize its practice. If you would be so kind, I'd greatly appreciate it.

[He holds his chin, with a curious expression on his face]

For those lacking in magical talents, two simple riddles.

One tooth to bite,
he's the forests foe.
One tooth to fight,
as all Norse know.

What is it?

A man is six feet tall, is a clerk at a butcher shop, and wears size 11 shoes.

What does he weigh?

I'm not sure about the first one - but the second one is meat, isn't it?

[that_is_asecret]

[He switches to private because well you can't spoil the surpise]

Yes, that is the second one, very good Miss Ella.

[ Private/Video ]

[ella_of_frell]

[ She's alll about the surprise spoiling! ... only not. She chuckles. ]

You must be feeling bored to put a riddle to the network, like that.

[Hattie breaks out into laughter.]

Wow, Ella, maybe you should go back to school. 'Meat' is not a number!

[Bangs her hand on the table laughing.]

[that_is_asecret]

What do you think the answer is, m'lady?

[Video]

[vaguelysauntered]

Magic is going in front of an audience, doing something really clever with fire and rings and bunnies out of hats, and somehow making people believe that what you're doing isn't a total sham, which it sincerely is.

[A shrug.]

And the answers are an axe and meat. I didn't even have to think twice about those.

[Video]

[that_is_asecret]

Is it now? Can you do any of those things, Mr. Crowley I believe?

[Private]

How nice, the young blond doesn't seem well versed in even the basics.

[Video]

[vaguelysauntered]

Nah. I'm probably the last person who could do that sort of thing. Doing things like cutting up boxes just so I can put a mirror in it to hide the bunny or nicking every card with a fingernail just so I can tell what card you chose is a bit tedious, in my opinion.

[Honestly, he's spent hours watching Aziraphale set up his props, he tends to go for the quicker way and just make the impossible happen without any fuss or waste of time.]

[Private]

What, miss Dumb and Clueless up there? [A short snort.] Really, I wonder when she'll get it? It's quite amusing to watch in the meantime, though.

[Video]

[axetrid]

An axe. That's the answer, at least to the first one.

_{[She'd know, of course, being a Viking herself.]}

[Private/Video]

[that_is_asecret]

Correct, and how are you doing, Astrid?

[Private/Video]

[axetrid]

I'm alright, more or less.

[athermercy]

Looks like everyone solved the riddles already.

video

[that_is_asecret]

Would you like me to tell another?

video

[athermercy]

Pass. What about you?

[hisoldgirl]

Why do so many on this island insist on magic being real? It's almost concerning. Do you not know science?

[oh but hey! riddles!]

Ax and meat respectively, of course. Were those meant to be difficult?

[that_is_asecret]

It is real, thats why.

[Like duh]

No not at all, simply to involve the populace.

[hisoldgirl]

You would think with all the people on this island, someone would be able to explain the scientific principles behind 'magic' by now.

[magic bah :|]

A strange way of doing so, but I can't say I'm bothered. Do you like riddles?

[video]

[theshortestbird]

Fun. Everyone's answered them already, but... an axe and meat.

[video]

[that_is_asecret]

Yes, very good!

A man had twelve toothpicks in front of him. He took one away. Now he had nine in front of him. How is this possible?

[video]

[theshortestbird]

The toothpicks were arranged to form the word 'nine'.

[video]

[thehighcost]

Well... there's magic everywhere, really! It does vary from place to place, though.

[video]

[that_is_asecret]

[Phibrizzo had said he was fond of you, he inclines his head towards her]

Oh, and how does it work in your world?

[video]

[thehighcost]

Mine's not really a world. It's everywhere. All worlds. Some that have magic and some don't.

[Video] If it's not too late to comment

[dr_orpheus]

You would like to know more of magic?

[Video] Of course not

[that_is_asecret]

Yes, specifically how it works for different people.
