De los ojos de bruja

It's been over a year since the move. It's almost been a year since the Prom.

Has much happened in between?

No.

I wander the halls of 5 Moons a lot. Hoping to find something new around the corner each time, yet it all remains the same. Except for the occasional dead rodent somewhere. I suppose I should try talking to people... But who else is here when there's no active classes? Aresenic, unless it's about the Library she doesn't talk. The Janitor also keeps to himself. Sometimes I think about making a mess on purpose, just so he comes up and just so I have someone to talk to. But I don't, because I know it's not very polite of me to do so.

I try to find solace in my workshop, but it gets harder as time goes on.

Nothing has changed, I haven't grown, and slowing everyone is drifting away.

Why can't I keep them all together?

Perhaps I'm not meant to have a family.

I would like to teach a class at 5 Moons, however I don't know if I'd be that good of a teacher. Not that I don't have anything to teach, it's more how to explain things in a way for others to understand and not just go "Well, you just kinda do this and that happens."

Maybe I should just start small. "Weapon Modification for Dummies" or something like that.

Maybe I should just stick to taking classes this time around.

So 5 Moons hosted SRHS's prom last night. Other schools were invited and the 5-mooners of age got to attend. Those of us no longer in high school got to chaperone. I didn't mind that too much, since I didn't get to go to my Prom. I was too busy taking care of Nate and Susie since Dad was always working late.

Anyways, the theme for the night was "Under the Sea." Yes, it's been done before but it was still pretty. I got hit on by one of the students, then Howie made me dance with the kid. I was giving him the "help me" eyes too and he just went "So. Mom, why don't you dance with Matt here." Midway through the song someone stole the kid's soul though. He did get it back by the end of the evening once or twice. I knew it wouldn't be a normal night. We even had a cop show up. That put a lot of people on edge. The cop was really nice, Captain Mike Young of the Santa Rosa PD. He and I talked for a while. All the other chaperones had run off because of some spell going off in the girl's bathroom. It would have looked wierd if I had run off too, leaving only the cop to watch over all the kids. I'm glad I stayed though. Our conversation was rather enjoyable. Even if talking about weapons and suchlike might be a bit morbid at a prom it felt normal. Nothing about magic or consillium/cabal politics or why the Free Council should stay in Monterey..

I'd like to have more normal conversations, I think I'm going to get in touch with him. That's it, I'll call the precint on Monday. Hopefully he'll remember me, and not all the ooky stuff from the end of the night. I don't know who did the mind wipes and how much was done. Well, we'll see.

I'm not very good at writing scenes out in story format. I wish I was, because I enjoy reading the stories others write, but it always comes out sounding cheesy. So instead of writing things out like a story, I write as if I was my character, and they kept a journal. So it may ramble, it may be incoherent at times, hell a meme might show up every now and then.

This is really only here because I want to want to play Mage more often. I like the general concept of Mom, however she has no depth at the moment. I'm trying to fix that. I don't really understand the world of Mage yet, and haven't thought to get the book when I've had money for it. So once "Teh Magics" start getting thrown around at game I get completely lost. Someday I'll sit down with someone and they'll break it down crayon style for me. Until then you get to deal with my ramblings on trying to find Mom.
