Hi.

[Prue looks less than stellar- eyes slightly rimmed with red, makeup just barely smudged enough to indicate that she was probably crying a while ago, or came close recently. She's frustrated and has a small smear of ash on one cheek.]

Does anyone have any experience with their magic or- or powers from home not working right here?

I can't make any spell work. I've tried everything I can, and almost nothing I've done since I came here has done anything but almost destroy my ceiling.

[She makes an almost painfully frustrated noise in her throat, teeth on edge and eyes watering angrily.]

This is ridiculous, I'm stronger than this.

[Prue only has one book- the centuries-old Book with a triquetra on the front. She doesn't pan the NV over, because she's still incredibly protective of it.]

Yeah, we don't want to accidentally create some kind of weird... energy thing.

Can you get over here?

[Willow moves over to her little stack of books, and picks them up. Two seconds later, she's appearing in the same room as Prue.]

Yes, I can make it over here.

[She spins around, only startled for a second before the green eyes take over.]

That is so cool. You have to teach me how to do that.

[In the kitchen (in Prue's line of sight), faucet taps start moving on their own.]

Can I get you something to drink?

I'll warn you now, I paid a price to be as powerful as I am. And it was a hefty hefty price.

[She smiles somewhat sorrowfully.]

But we're here to fix you, Not me. And No thanks, I'm good.

[astralling]

[She frowns, filing that info away for later. They are so not done with you, sugar.]

Fine. So you said you wanted to try a few things out?

[justwillow]

Well, we have to explore the magical avenues. I'm not sure what could be causing a disruption to your magic and not mine.

[She looks somewhat concerned. But that is a slightly selfish concern.]

[astralling]

What kind of avenues?

[justwillow]

Well, sometimes magical connection can be stifled by things. I'm going to try and work out if someone is doing this to you, or whether it's something else.

[She offers a smile.]

Is that okay? Do you have any ideas what could be causing it?

[astralling]

I don't know. I can make little spells work, but the big stuff just-

[She throws her hands up with a little noise of frustration.]

There's a complete block.
