Amused Alex is Amused! [Video]

[waverly_wiz]

[S smirking Ale Russo is visible on your PCD screens, cocking her head with a gentle chuckle in her voice.]

So! Sparkles! Hnheheh! You guys are too funny! Oh my gosh, I'm sparkling! Now I'm a girl! I thought all the guys around here were more... I dunno... mature than that.
Well, it just makes my life around here a little less boring! Thank you, Animus!

Oh, and if you haven't noticed, I've been sparkling for about a week, too. I think it's pretty! I don't have to put on any of that sparkle powder. It's shimmer without the effort!

[After a brief pause,]

Hey, Fire boy! When are you gonna show me some of those fire bending moves?
Oh, and Negi dude? Show me some of those spells! I feel like learning something new here, people!

Oh, hold on a sec...

[Alex casts a small spell, shortly after, materializing through the screen of Zuko's PCD screen.]

Okay!
What've you got?

[Zuko yelps and drops his PCD. He spins to stare at Alex, eyes wide.]

What in the hell was that?!

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Hey, did I do that when you shot fire out of your hands?

It's a spell, dude. Geez.

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

I didn't materialize -- fine. Whatever. What do you want to see?

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Um... What kind of things do you usually do? Make fire balls? Shoot fire out of your hands? I dunno, it's up to you.

[Zuko rotates his wrist sharply to create a ball of fire. He forms it into a dagger and clenches it tightly in his hand. No burns, no smoke, no pain; his control is perfect.]

I can do whatever I want with fire. I use it to fight and defend myself, mostly.

[Ale watches, captivated. She glances up at him, then back at the flame in his hands.]

Looks like it took a lot of practice, huh?

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

I've been training since I was a little kid, so yeah, a lot of practice.

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

That explains the battle scar.
[She calmly motions toward Zuko's scar.]

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

[The atmosphere instantly changes from patiently friendly to irate. He glares at her with a special type of anger. His scar is a sensitive subject.]

That's none of your business.

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

[Alex recoils, raising her hands in defense.]

Sorry, I-- didn't know.

[To lighten the mood, she gives him a gentle smile, bending down to pull her wand out of her boot.]

Wanna see something cool?

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

[He glares at her for a long moment before looking away, taking great care to look to the right, to hide his scar.]

Sure. Whatever.

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs off his seriousness, pointing him toward a random person that happened to be walking by.]

Hold your head like this.
[She demonstrates by placing her hands over her ears, elbows out.]

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

[Zuko mimics her.]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

[With a gleam in her eye, she points her attention to the unsuspecting victim.]

Cranium Revolvis

[She grins as the person's head spins around his body 360º, at least three times. When the motion stops, the person looks confused, disoriented and is rubbing his neck as though he slept on it funny.]

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

[Zuko snorted. Alright, that was pretty funny.]

And you did that with... what, magic?

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Yep! My uncle Kelbo taught me that one. Cool, huh?

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

"Sort of useless, but... cool, I guess." Zuko ran his hand through his hair, looking uncomfortable. Alex seemed like a pretty nice kid and he had sort of gone off on her...

"I'm sorry for snapping at you," he muttered. "It's a personal... subject. What happened."

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

[Alex shrugs.]

Yeah, I know a lot of useless spells.
But I know a lot of useful ones, too.

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Well, I can make food, water, turn things into other things, walk through walls, freeze time, rewind time...

That sorta thing.

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

You can freeze time? And rewind it?

[That's useful. Zuko can only imagine what he'd do with all of that power.]

That's... incredible.

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't rewind it that far. Only a few seconds. To most humans, it just ends up feeling like deja vou.

[She gives him another shrug. Part of using her powers to her full advantage was being nonchalant about them.]

[innerfirewithin.livejournal.com]

Ohh. Well, still funny, I guess.

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Heh. I guess it is pretty funny. I can't use that spell too often though. It can only take so much before it starts screwing up the space time continuum.

Oh, and don't worry about it.
