"Yeah -- this universe is tending toward the long ones," Vic admits, running her fingers through her hair. "And it's the fifth one in the main series, so you'll have to wait until I'm done with 'Remembering You.' And, uh, the edit on 'Forgetting You.'" She frowns at Forgotten. "Your universe is an all-consuming beast!"

Forgotten smirks cheekily at her. "And to think you once tried to dismiss it as 'too creepy.'"

"I can attest to the usefulness of any spell that makes water," Forgotten nods. "Or provides light. I don't think we have one that unlocks doors -- yet," he adds, glancing at Vic. "Though we have plenty that put up barriers of some sort."

"I'll make a note to stick it on the 'other spells I don't want to fully write up' list, along with that 'bag of holding' one I realized ought to be on there," Vic replies. "Personally, Lisa, I don't think you really need much of the Harry Potter-style wand waving. You seem to do really well just being you."

"Yeah, that's the story where they start officially learning about such -- pretty much right at the beginning they run into this guy called Dr. Fixxler, and he starts teaching them about it," Vic explains. "Magic's how Victor gets into Wonderland too -- got a spell where two people can share one's dreamworld. The big traveling spells will be the main focus of that story, but other stuff will definitely be coming up in little side tales."

"He is -- a little surprised he isn't here, actually," Alice comments.

"He and I tend to take over everything if he's around," Forgotten says, then frowns. "On the other hand, considering how the conversation has drifted, I might as well call him in, huh?" A moment's thought, and the little flitt's perched on his shoulder, warbling a hullo to everyone.
