I got stuck astral projecting for eleven hours last night.

Did you have fun?

[dragonhoard]

Did I "have fun"? No. I had a panic attack.

[wizardjr]

Oh. Sorry. Perhaps that wasn't the best choice in powers for someone with anxiety.

[dragonhoard]

I don't have anxiety. Anyone who's been forcibly separated from their body for more than an hour is going to panic a little. You'd have to be pathological not to.

[wizardjr]

Sorry. It wasn't supposed to work like that. But I've taken note.

[dragonhoard]

Can you fix it, or am I just going to have to deal with it forever?

[wizardjr]

I can try? There's a bit of a learning curve to this whole thing.

[dragonhoard]

How does it work, anyway?

[wizardjr]

It works the same as your medallion powers, but I tried to give you them without it having to be attached to anything, and astral projection is hard to do so it probably didn't work 100% correctly.

That's my guess, anyway. Would you like me to try again?

[dragonhoard]

Right. I meant your power. Is it a matter of concentration? Is there some kind of science to it, or are you just making up things as you go?

Maybe. What are the odds you make it worse?

[wizardjr]

It's a matter of how difficult the request is. If you'd asked me for the ability to make a perfect cup of tea, I could do that no problem. Astral projection is way more difficult. My father can't do anything beyond powers attached to medallions, as far as I'm aware, so this is new territory for me. Broderick astral projects. Perhaps he would be able to give you some advice to help you make it work better. Alternatively, I can try again, but I don't know how whether it would make it worse or not. I've never tried to do the same thing twice.

[dragonhoard]

I'd be interested in doing the experiment if I trusted you not to fuck with me. Which I don't, come to think of it.

[wizardjr]

Suit yourself. Talk to Broderick.

[dragonhoard]

He doesn't like me either. He's very protective of you.

[wizardjr]

Well, it's not like you're very friendly toward either of us.

[dragonhoard]

Wouldn't it be suspicious if I started now?

[wizardjr]

Probably. Since you've already left a hostile first impression.

[dragonhoard]

I wasn't trying to be hostile.

[wizardjr]

You're not very nice. Although I suppose that may be because you're American.

[dragonhoard]

I don't know h [...] Plenty of people are American.

[wizardjr]

Yeah, and they're largely quite rude.

[dragonhoard]

Have you spent a lot of time in the States?

[wizardjr]

No, but the tourists come over and behave terribly.

[dragonhoard]

Most tourists are rich. So's my family. Maybe blame the money instead of the country.

[wizardjr]

All right, fine.
