This is Christopher, leave a message. [He clears his throat and quietly to the side whispers 'how was that Peggy? Yeah...yeah some more oomph. I thought so too']
You've reached Chaos! Leave a message or this answering machine will explode!
I don't play, it's all very serious work. [He mumbles, though he puts his chin in his hand, tilting his head.]
I haven't seen much magic. Mostly just mad science, but I did see a magic mural once. It held the ancestors of the witch family who created it. Clement was very nice... And it was super cool to think that magic could create an eternal afterlife for the souls of that family by blood or bond.
[He is aware that not everyone likes sweet, it's why this is the first sweet thing he'd added to the menu, it's very wide reaching, he thinks. Which should be great for making sure there's something for everyone!
He looks down at the menu, reading off it-]
So far? Fig, rosemary and fennel infused water and Pickle lemonade.
Okay, pickle lemonade is a weird choice, but the fig one sounds downright festive.
[He shakes his head a little.]
Magic murals with souls attached are bigger than I can do, right now. I did create a living mouse and a couple tarantulas, though. I'm working up to a human body.
Pickle juice is actually full of electrolytes and paired with lemonade is supposed to be incredibly refreshing after a work out. [Chris does not work out, but it was weird enough he gave it a chance and actually liked the combo.
But then Chase has to mention creating human bodies and his interest is completely pulled away from talking about work.]
You can create creatures from nothing?
Facinating... I brought Peggy back to life, but i wasn't able to replicate it... she got hit by a truck, it was awful.
It might be good for you, but it sounds like it tastes gross.
[He shifts and holds up a hand, letting a spider form up on his palm.]
Started with these. They're temporary, spell-flesh, powered by a tiny demon spirit. I've been able to summon these ever since my magic came in. I can do bigger spirits, but not here, this place isn't really connected to the world the way where I come from is.
[Christopher watches as the spider comes to be, mouth slightly open, eyes wide before he blinks a few times, frowns and hits his head with the heel of his hand as if attempting to knock something in place.]
Come on, I want to-
[And like a flashlight you hit to get the batteries to work, his eyes blow out blue and flicker with a sort of electrical energy.
He smiles big, satisfied before waving his hand at Chase, come on, lets see it!]
[Chase looks amused, but he's run into that reaction before, so he lets the spider dissolve into ash on his palm, then the ash disappears, too.]
One, two, three.
[Bam, new spider. It forms up in the span of about a second, looking like it's forming up from ash the same way the first one disappeared. He is in fact summoning a tiny demonic spirit, an "imp", mostly brainless and more of a source of power than anything else, and the spider's form is solid magic.]
My eyes used to do weird things, too. I fixed that with my deal. They'd go all black whenever I used magic. What's that mean, when yours do that?
[Chris watches intently as he counts down, can see the way the magic forms in his hand, eyes wide. He hasn't gotten to see much magic aside from the spirits in Viveka's choker, and he is fascinated by it. The colors and glass strands that seem to connect before the blue stutters out and his eyes are their normal blue again.
He is a little distracted, but he does look from the spider to chase when he's asked.]
Oh, it's- I can see your magic, what it looks like, what anyone looks like...see the math that makes up your clothes, the chair... [He gestures around, to the whole room.] I can't control it, but it's beautiful, all of it...
And sometimes I can see how to make things better if I look at it long enough.
[Chase knows what it looks like to him, but maybe it'll look different to someone else. Nancy had her own perspective on his magic, after all, as a witch from another version of his world.
He doesn't care a lot about math, though. The thought of the room being made up of numbers sounds more annoying than beautiful.]
Well, I can see the thing you summoned, before it became a spider. But it's...
[He has to think for a moment before he raises a finger and pulls out his notebook. Christopher likes to draw, even if most of them are rather cartoonish doodles, but he spends some time on a page with his blue gel pen, Chases hands and the glasslike strands of magic he saw. It's better than using words, in his opinion, because he's not the best at them, and when he's done, making sure there are enough flourishes and action lines, he turns the notebook over to Chase so he can see.]
