I12DT - Black Magic Woman

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Aug 31, 2013 10:47 pm

Not wanting to just wait on the official investigation into the fire at Cobweb Nailah does her best to swallow her pride and knocks on ~~Raven's~~ Trini's dorm room.

by **Trini Thompson** » Sat Aug 31, 2013 11:04 pm

"Just a minute!"

There was some thumping, and then Trini opened the door. Her room was -- well, it was plain. Nothing on the walls, not a lot of furnatiure, nothing.

"Oh. Professor Weaver. What is it?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 12:48 am

"I need your help." Nailah starts out with the worst before her pride has a chance to get in the way. "It seems someone tried to burn down Cobweb."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 9:24 pm

"Sounds like they were fairly successful, from what the news said."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 10:06 pm

"Yes, and from the looks of it your friends had something to do with it."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 10:12 pm

"My friends? I'll ask my study group, professor, but I don't think they've ever been to Cobweb."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 10:30 pm

"Your old coven."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 10:58 pm

"Oh. Them."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 11:37 pm

"Yes. Them. They fled the scene earlier and I would very much like to talk to them about that."

by **Trini Thompson** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 11:41 pm

"Well, best of luck with that," Trini nodded, going to shut the door.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 11:49 pm

Nailah puts her hand on the door. Not enough to actually hold it open but still.

"People got into danger because of what happened. You help me out and I'll put in a good word with Sam about your ground duties."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 12:03 am

"You really think I give a damn about my ground duties, Professor? If you'll pardon my French?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 12:18 am

Nailah slowly counts to 3 in her head. She really does want to be friendly but Trini is not exactly making it easy.

"Evidently not, but I still need your help. Please."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 12:27 am

"What on Earth do you need me for, oh powerful wizard?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 12:57 am

"Their names, where they live. And... you know them. I was hoping you'd be able to help me figure out what happened and why."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 1:35 am

"Have they committed any crimes?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 2:01 am

"Possibly. And I'd rather not have them being found guilty of arson weighing on my conscience so I'd rather get to the bottom of this before the police does."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 2:17 pm

"'Possibly'. You're not even sure it was them."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 2:19 pm

"No. And if they're innocent then maybe they were the target of this. Either way I feel responsible for what happened."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 2:21 pm

"And what, precisely, has led to this sudden change of heart?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 2:36 pm

"Look, I have issues. I am constantly on edge and when I go over I'm not exactly the most rational person in the world. You and your friends pushed the wrong buttons and I lashed out."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 2:40 pm

"Well, with someone as unstable as you, yes, sounds like a great idea to take you to the people you hurt. In no possible way can that plan backfire," she said, sarcastically.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 3:05 pm

"I'm trying to help a group of people that abducted, coerced and then threatened me. In all your self-righteousness you ignored the fact that you were stomping all over my beliefs as well. Yet I'm still here apologizing because I hurt you and because I don't want anyone else getting hurt. I think I deserve a little benefit of the doubt here."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 4:07 pm

"Yes, because I was the first one who threatened. Are you sure it wasn't you with the concussion?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 4:17 pm

"I didn't say you were. Nor that I'm without fault. All I'm asking is your help and a little faith that I'm not going to harm them."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 4:19 pm

"Why on Earth would I give you that faith? The last time you saw them, you were threatening to harm them."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 4:35 pm

"If you can't see the difference between that situation and now, especially after what I told you I don't know what else to say. You set off a panic attack, something I shouldn't have to apologize for yet here I am, doing it anyway because I'm trying to put all of that behind me so things like that don't happen again."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 4:48 pm

"Things like that won't happen again because I've quit, Professor. I don't know how to make that more clear.

If you've made enemies of other people, that's not my problem."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 6:17 pm

"I'm not saying it is. I'm asking you to help me, not fulfill some obligation."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 6:40 pm

Trini sighed. "What do you want, home addresses or something? I should tell them that my professor, the scary lady who attacked them, wants to see them?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 6:44 pm

"If you think they'd actually want to talk to me I'd prefer if I didn't have to seek them out."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 11:12 pm

"I don't. I think you burned that bridge when you scared the ever-loving shit out of girls who needed your help."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 11:23 pm

"No one even asked me for any help. You just paraded me in front of them and tried to show o--" she cuts herself off with a sigh. "Sorry. Okay, can you at least try talk to them?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 11:29 pm

"They're not going to return my calls."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 12:05 am

"Why's that?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 12:11 am

"Because I'm not in the group anymore."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 12:15 am

"And that means they shun you now? Some friends they are."

by **Trini Thompson** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 12:30 am

"I betrayed them. Tell me you'd hang out with people if they'd hurt you like that. When you damage someone's life, you need to own up to the responsibility."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 1:16 am

"I think we have slightly different views of what it means to be responsible, but how did you betray them?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 3:02 pm

"The savior I brought instead offered destruction. End of story."
