 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
So they were carving their names into cucumbers to protect themselves from kappas. That was fine. Except... they wouldn't be in any real danger, right? They'd just be giving the kappa a cucumber present? Right?
...he wanted to make sure he was EXTRA prepared. He grabbed two cucumbers, meaning to write his name both ways. One with a knife, one with his wand. He set one cucumber carefully in front of him, holding on to it with his left hand. Then, with his wand hand, he used "Scribere." It worked on the first try, but it kept stopping and and didn't carve clearly enough so he had to cast several times to get it working.

He set the cucumber aside, and grabbed the other one. His wand was replaced with a potions knife as he carved his name in carefully. He was a little anxious that he'd get a cut by accident, but he had a very steady, precise hand and it turned out to be even less trouble than he had with his wand.

His cucumbers prepared, Brandon added more to his notes on kappas. He took VERY detailed notes, and it took time. |
