[ After the chaos of never-ending passages, collapsing buildings and hurt children, Zelda's decided to sit down and learn how to communicate with everyone at large. If mortals can do it without centuries of life and knowledge behind them, than dammit, so can she. When she's asked for a username, she goes with a shortened version of her own name because she really doesn't care to be clever about it. It takes...a while. There may be a few very short bursts of sent messages before she finally manages to get it right. Is she also smoking? She is. ]
Some of you may already know who I am, I seem to have met quite the collection of you. My name is Zelda Spellman. I believe my niece, Sabrina, made more than one proclamation via this device - my first questions is this: Is there a way to recover what was broadcast in the past?
[ Now that she's asked, the real purpose to her message is revealed: ]
More than one person in the wake of recent events, has expressed a want to learn aspects of witchcraft. At home, I was headmistress and a teacher at an academy for young witches and warlocks. I don't claim to know how magic operates in worlds outside of my own - Greendale, Earth, for that matter - but other than the occasional glitch that befalls most here, my magic seems to be in tact. Defense spell casting or protection spells and charms could be useful. You won't become all powerful by any means. [ She doesn't want to set any false expectations, here. ] But you could learn enough to save yourself, or buy time to.
If there's enough interest, we'll find a place and time to meet regularly.
[ And that's where the message ends. No goodbye or anything...she'll get there. This is quite the step up from the rotary phone hanging on her wall at home. ]

I'm awfully curious how your magic would work with--or against--my own. Let me know when and where lessons will be held.

so sorry about this grandma
I am as-
So amI, our-
It oculd be an asset to- [ At this point, there's a long break before finally something coherent and typo free comes through. ]
It could be beneficial, even if our magic stylings are different. If there's no interest otherwise you and I can, at least, discuss and experiment.
[ It took Zelda 84 years to type that. ]
Oh, that's adorable.
But yes, I'm interested in such explorations.

no subject
If you are going to be ageist I prefer 'crone.'
How much of my magic are you asking me to explain before you tell me anything?
no subject
mhm. tell me and i'll tell you

Are you a... Nightsister?
no subject
I've never heard it put backwards before. Sister of the Night, is how members of the coven would formally introduce themselves. Are you familiar, then?
no subject
[ The last one left, actually, and he almost says as much, his mouth opening and then... closing again. It's Merrin's story, not his. He recovers with a friendly smile. ]
It sounds like it might be a little different, though. She didn't really like it when somebody called her a witch.

Wanda replies to this message for sure, but in a multitasking kind of way. she's magically floating her device while braiding her dyed red hair. ]
I had brief contact with your niece. [ Wanda's accent is something southeastern european. ] My name's Wanda Maximoff, I'm a witch, albeit not an experienced one with years of training under me, and I'm pretty much only skilled in the psionic arena of things.
[ aka she moves shit and senses shit with telekinetic skill & telepathy.... ]
no subject
You don't need years of training to be an exceptional witch. It's a privilege to receive such an education. But believe me - I've been saved by witches from swamps and prestige alike.
[ Of course, Zee can see the telekinesis at work. ]
You have impressive control that some of my students haven't mastered in a half-century of schooling. What areas of magic are you interested in?

[ Between knowing Sabrina was a witch and the dream walking... yep, no surprise here, just curiosity. ]
no subject
[ So...yes. It's nice to see a familiar face. ] This is a more pleasant way to have a conversation. No nightmares or disobedient children.

Hello Ms Spellman, it's nice to make your acquaintance. I'm afraid I didn't know your niece, but I can also ask around about the past messages. I'm not terribly familiar with these devices yet myself, but there seem to be many here who are quite adept with them.
I admit I'm quite curious about your method of— magic. [ there's just a faint hesitation before she says it ]
It's something I would be interested in seeing in person, perhaps?
no subject
It's comforting to know I'm not alone in struggling with the technology. [ She wouldn't be struggling if she'd let Ambrose and Sabrina teach her things, but Zee always pushed back. ]
I suppose I could demonstrate. I take it magic has been labeled a fantasy where you're from. [ She doesn't ask it as a question, Zee states it as an assumption. ]
$kafka
Can anyone truly learn? Or do we need some sort of innate power...? [ like a gene or maybe some magic thing inside of them to kick their abilities? Because if so, kaneki absolutely won;t be able to learn ]
no subject
[ But she isn't planning on forcing anyone to worship a deity. ]
Sorcerers are, by definition, more powerful. But they are much rarer. The last I know of hasn't lived in over a century. [ RIP Rasputin. ]

Wow, you know magic?! Like... actual, real, for real magic?? And you know how to teach it?
[He's quickly looking more excited.]
Hey now, I'm interested! I'm real interested, ma'am! This - this is actually kind of a secret, but when I was a kid, I really wanted to be a wizard!
no subject
I wouldn't state something that wasn't true. As for teaching mortals, I'm not sure yet. It would be a first, admittedly. But I suppose want is part of the process.
[ Zelda knows that innately, everyone's capable, but in Svelte where things are unpredictable? She has no idea what to expect. ]

My name's Rich Goranski. I can't claim to actually have magic, but if I can learn anything, I'd be willing to give it a shot!
[Anything to become more useful to the others here.]
no subject
[ She'll get back to the magic part in a minute. He's eager, and that will do just fine for learning, later. She's not interrogating him; the expression on her face is something close to hope; stories of Sabrina, things she's never heard before - she'll take anything. ]
