[wittingly]

gladly
my ego's propped up on constant attention and the feeling of imparting wisdom so
you'd kind of be doing me a favor

I'm losing my entire god damn MIND without a job right now, can't even get one until the city unlocks and goes back to normal

although I did get recruited to build and plant some bombs, so that'll be something

[evocation]

you're incredible and amazing and i'd be a broken mess without you
does that help?
and what bombs?

[wittingly]

you can stop at incredible and amazing next time, I wanna believe you're impossible to break

I'm
now that I'm thinking about it
less sure if I'm allowed to talk about it. In hindsight it seems like that might've been like a "this is a secret plan" kind of thing

raincheck on the explanation until I find out for sure so I don't get fired literally before I even start

[evocation]

yeah, i hope i am too
but badass, remember?

[This is actually making her feel better. Good job, Ian.]

you can't give me something that juicy and then not tell me

[wittingly]

how do I know you're not a secret government mole sent to undermine the efforts of the common man?

I'm gonna need something good for that level of confidence

[evocation]

jesus
the common man from fucking berkley
like what?

[wittingly]

I don't know, woman from fucking new york

this is the real challenge
what is it you think is impactful enough to earn my bomb dropping trust
my knowledge bomb

[evocation]

do you want more magic stories?

[wittingly]

better be a damn good magic story
my expectations are like
up here right now ^^^^^^^^^

[evocation]

do you want an embarrassing one?

[wittingly]

obviously

[evocation]

okay so
i was like 15
my mom forbid practicing magic in the house for, you know
obvious reasons
but my mom and brother were out and i was bored
i wanted to see if i could control the electricity in the wiring in the house
which was dumb, i know, shut up
but i could sense the currents, right? so i thought that was just a step up
except one of the hardest things about magic is learning to control it
and i didn't realize how hard controlling all that energy at once would be
so long story short i fucked up and fried half the wiring and appliances in our apartment
i tried to say there was some freak power surge but
guess how far that excuse went

[wittingly]

oh jesus
you're lucky you didn't start an electrical fire
damn, I can't imagine having kids with fucking magic, every day must be like a miniature little heart attack

did your mom make you replace the appliances

[evocation]

yep
i was trying to pay that shit off forever
my brother helped even though he wasn't supposed to

[wittingly]

sounds like a really good brother
I'm jealous
Only child envy

[evocation]

yeah, he is
he'd probably be rallying the troops and shit if we were switched
you totally seem like an only child btw

[wittingly]

what??
how does that work
what gives it away

[evocation]

you know
bossy
overachiever
would die for compliments

[wittingly]

Bossy's a strong word
gently encouraging

if you wanna know the truth my self-esteem's pretty great with or without 'em
why turn down free money though right

[evocation]

uh huh
you didn't deny the overachiever thing

[wittingly]

why deny that one, that one's a great quality

anyway, you're a classic sibling kid

[evocation]

what? how?
wait, do you think i'm the younger or older one?

[wittingly]

it's real subtle, but there's one clue that gives it away
you talk about having a brother.

i feel like this is a classic bait and switch, are you twins

[evocation]

oh my god, shut up
and no

[wittingly]

alright

so

I'm overthinking this

I wanna say that it seems like your brother's older but I think that's the twist, and you're the older one

final answer

survey says??
