Just have to catch my breath;

[For those of you who might recognize this woman, you will probably realize rather quickly that she isn't anything like the others. And if the casual outfit and lack of powers don't give the hint, maybe the little blond boy tugging excitedly at her wrist will. While he's blabbering on incoherently, she is just getting dragged along, looking confused, but overall amused.]

Whoa, whoa, Roxas. You're going to have to slow it down for me.

[Aww :< Prue will just go curl up on one of the chairs, then.]

...Roxas is the one who talked me into getting her.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

... Really? But I thought you said he thinks she's demonic.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

He came to that conclusion when she set the library carpet on fire and I blamed it on him.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

Magic cat, then?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

That, or just a cat who can read.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

She learned it from a book?

[Eyebrows go way way up at that.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Well she does tend to hang around when I do my researching. She's picked up on Fire and Blizzard so far.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

That's even more impressive than just beginning out as a magic cat.

[Laughs slightly.]

I can't believe I'm even having this conversation....

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

After a while in this place, you stop noticing how strange the conversations get.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

You sound like you speak from experience. How long have you been here?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Pauses to think.]

...I guess it's been a little over three years now.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[Her eyebrows raise.]

That long?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Mhmm. Though technically, I'm in the wrong time right now. I was from a year in the future, but I got sent back here. ...The whole time paradox thing gets kind of confusing.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

I. see...

[Huh :|a]

So how old does that make you?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Nineteen, at the moment.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

Huh. You're mature for a nineteen year old.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

...Do I really come across that way?

[He's never been told that before.]

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

To me, at least. I haven't been nineteen for-- well. let's just say a while... but I remember the crazy days of staying up late partying, and doing stupid things for fun... I don't remember many guys that would spend their time with their friend's mom peeling potatoes.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Smiles.]

I'm not exactly the partying type. ...Though I'm guilty of that staying-up-late one pretty often.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

What is it that you stay up late for?

[Looks curious.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Research, mostly. Though Roxas makes sure to yell at me when I don't get enough sleep.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[Laughs a bit at that.]

I taught him to mother well. I've always doubted his patience, but strangely enough kids have never been a problem for him. If I wasn't afraid it would be too hard on him, I would have given him a sister.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Well, he's basically got a brother already.]

Yeah, we joke a lot about how he's such a mother hen. It's not such a bad thing though.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

I can imagine.

[Her smile falters a bit, glancing at Riku.]

So... just how dangerous is it here?

[She saw scars on Roxas she's never seen before :<]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Sighs, frowning a little.]

Moreso than most places. Heartless and Nobodies aside, there are always people in here stirring up trouble, especially the sadists.
