I'm taking a survey.

What did everybody do for a job before, you know, coming here?


[private to Howie; added later]

I think I had girl talk. Does that count as making a friend?

Comments

Indeed. It did become very messy.

Which is why I am now here, supposedly repenting for what I did.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Is there a reason for this survey?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Curiosity.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I'd be careful, my dear. I've been told that curiosity is an unwise thing, speaking from experience.

Some people can be dangerous when asked too many questions. Or evasive, at best.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. I can take care of myself.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Are you a witch?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

No. A lot of people seem to think that, though.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Why would they think that if you're not?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

I guess human evolution is a foreign concept to a lot of people.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Indeed... You think you are more evolved in some way?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

I don't think, I know.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

What is more advanced about you?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

I can generate electricity.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

For what purpose?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Whatever purpose I want.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I didn't think it was quite that flexible.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Electricity can do a lot, if you know how to use it right.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I've never had any use for it myself.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Then you weren't using it right.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I haven't used it at all. Wizards don't have this Muggle technology, though I do know of it. We have other ways for lighting and power.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

I don't really use it for power. I could, but there's way more fun things I'd rather be doing with it.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Such as?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Use your imagination.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I can think of more deadly things, not very fun.
