Re: Lydia Deetz | Beetlejuice

"Of course," he said, hovering closer. "How may I be of assistance?"

He was... he was something. A short person, the size of a child, that looked like some 10 year old boy who had rummaged in a bin full of adult sized costumes to come out with an over large cloak like thing that had an inner robe like thing, all in all it was short enough to not trip him but trailed behind him and looked in every other way just several sizes too large for him.

And his lack of height was emphasized by the staff he carried, the top of which curved down, and its lowest point was still over his head.

Staff, gloves, hair, cloak... all were festooned with large gems, polished and rounded rather than faceted. And if all of that didn't look odd enough for her... He was standing inside a spherical shield that had a sheen of colour, but could otherwise be seen through. The shield covered over his head and down into the ground under his feet. As he was currently floating so that he was of an eye height with her, that meant that she could see dirt and grass at the bottom of his bubble.

Lydia was never one to judge based upon appearances, but even so, the sight of Clef was an astounding one. She took a moment to marvel at the bubble, and the gems, wondering what sort of ghost he might be - because at the moment, crossing over was the best explanation she personally had at hand.

"Well, I guess ... to start with ..." She tilted her head. "Are we dead? And if we aren't, how are you doing that?"

[guru_clef]

"No," he said with a gentle smile. "I am not dead, and as far as I know, neither are you. I am doing this through magic, specifically in this case, Bending."

[strangeandunusual]

"Magic, even though you're not a ghost? Wow. Is it a spell?"

Without being dead, that was the only type of magic she'd witnessed ... and even that had had its limits. She edged closer to the bubble, reaching out to poke it and see what it felt like.

[guru_clef]

"It is a combination of several, actually. I take it on your world it is believed that only the dead can wield magic?"

[strangeandunusual]

"Something like that." She shrugged. "I'd only just learned about it a little while ago. Ghosts can do a lot of different things, but ... the only human I ever saw used magic had to read it out of a book. And he screwed that up pretty bad, too. ... Really bad."

[guru_clef]

"Well, welcome to Naut. Here any can learn magic, if they've a mind to. It is a combination of will, creativity, focus, and practice. I can help you learn the basics, if you wish."
