I remembered my home.

[Close-up of an incredibly realistic painting done of a small, sleepy looking hamlet. There are people milling about, almost seeming to move within the picture. At the far end of the painting is a small house that seems to stand out in some way, though it isn't clear why. Perhaps more detail and attention were paid to this little home, for some reason.]

It's a super boring place. I'm better off here!

[There is a sadness in her voice that can't be totally hidden, no matter how much she tries.]

It's called Thamasa. And everyone there could use magic, but we weren't supposed to. I can't remember why. Probably 'cause some stupid old guy was in charge and didn't want anyone to have any fun. But you can't keep talent like mine silent! I painted all the time anyway, and made all kinds of fun stuff happen, and they couldn't stop me because I'm so awesome and adorable and talented.

[She paints a few more things, adding small details until she's satisfied.]

Stupid, boring old town. At least here I can use my magic and no one yells at me.

"Hmmm." Have a thoughtful bird. "This at least seems to support my theory as to why no-one leaves Sirocco of their own volition: once one remembers one's original home... it seems an oddly foreign place, doesn't it?"

[rainbowbrush]

...Yeah, I guess.

[nomen_est_numen]

He headtilts just a fraction, a very birdish movement. "You believe otherwise?"

[rainbowbrush]

I don't know. I finally remembered something about home, and... and it's stupid.

[nomen_est_numen]

"Which is stupid? The thing you remembered, or your home, itself?"

[rainbowbrush]

My home! 'Cause I wasn't supposed to use my magic!

[alittleblackmagic]

You mean, probably because you were so bad at it that no one wanted to have to suffer through you awful magic!

Wightytags are the best tags *u*

[rainbowbrush]

My magic is the best magic!

[alittleblackmagic]

We've gone over this already. Let's talk about how much your city sucks compared to mine, where everyone knew magic and we were all amazing.

[rainbowbrush]

Everyone in Thamasa knows magic too! And we're all so awesome we weren't supposed to use our magic because all of the awesome would combine and the world would explode! Not like your town of lame dummies!

Fel entries are the best entries T_T

[alittleblackmagic]

Hah! Yeah, right, they were all just too embarrassed at how lame they were. They knew we would notice over in our world eventually.

Only when Wighty tags them :3

[rainbowbrush]

Your world was too busy being full of idiots to notice anything!

Lies and deceit D:

[alittleblackmagic]

Blahblahblah if anything, my world was too busy doing important things to care about what your dumb town was up to.

That's pretty good! What's that house on the end?

[rainbowbrush]

Of course it is! The place is still boring though.

That's my house.

[stinglikeabat]

It looks pretty cozy.

Do you miss it?

[rainbowbrush]

No way! I couldn't use my magic there! Why would I?!

[She totally does.]

[stinglikeabat]

I thought you might miss your family, I suppose.

[rainbowbrush]

...Don't remember any family.

[youngestboxer]

...

Do you miss it?

[rainbowbrush]

Miss what?

[youngestboxer]

Your home, duh.

[rainbowbrush]

Why would I miss my home? It was stupid. And I wasn't supposed to use my magic.

[She totally does.]

[youngestboxer]

Then why are you getting so defensive?

[rainbowbrush]

I'm not! You are!

[Tsun harder, Relm. And try to make sense next time.]
