(Marie hates having to make a second video in less than a week, but waking up to find the apartment she is living in covered in holiday decorations from floor to ceiling? Weird, even considering her own past and her current situation, it's just horribly weird. Pretty but weird. She especially likes the paper snowflakes someone had put up on the windows and small army of tiny nutcrackers that sits on one of the once empty shelves, but the tinsel is too much and well, mistletoe is just awkward and she glances up at it and rolls her eyes.

The woman sighs and picks up one of them and with her other hand begins to poke the point of her index finger off of a small plastic sword that the figure is carrying.)

So, uh...I have a question for everyone out there. Who did this? Because while I appreciate it and it's cute and all, no seriously, I kind of miss seeing decorations up this time of year, but well, how do I put this...

(She's actually pretty upset about it, though she is doing her best to be calm about it.)

You broke into my apartment.

(Here is the moment when her calm slips and her German accent becomes thicker now.)

You didn't even ask if I wanted this stuff up!

I'm going to toss all of this out, I swear. So, if you want it back...you better tell me you did it right now. It's nice, but really, breaking and entering isn't right... and I'm glad nothing is missing. (She glances at a box that she had wrapped the night before - the first thing she looked for after waking up.) Now, I need to find a good hiding place, but I'm going to need help taking this stuff down...
(Oh boy, Jason won't be too happy about this.)

You mean magic, I assume? I know there is a world that doesn't have magic, which I was always curious about really.

[She paused for a moment.]

I see how that is quite rude and I with there was a way to sort it out, but so far nothing has been reported

Yeah, magic. (She finds herself nodding.) At least, as far as I know...there isn't. People claim to have it, but well, people question it or just don't believe...for the most part anyway.

Nothing? (She frowns.) I suppose, at least, whatever this is...seems like it's someone being nice or funny or something harmless.

In this world some people do, some don't. I've cast a spell and made a potion, but I don't actually have magic myself for example. But I think there are more who cant than can.

Yeah, I mean there could have been worse things that could have been done.

But, if you cast a spell... (Marie gives the other woman the most confused look she can muster.) I thought someone had to have magic to do that or well, in order for those things to work...

I mean, I don't really know, I was just assuming...probably a lot there, since I can't really do things like that and spells and potions in my world...they're kind of seen as...erm, useless, I guess.

...It seems more complicated than I thought it was.

Yeah, things that are a lot worse. (A pause.) I'm a little worried about that April Fools Day-thing...if someone would try something then. I hope not.

No, I can only do it if I read off a book. Usually for people who do have magic don't have to. I guess in my case the magic came from the book itself, not me.

It's very complicated and it's best to try and not think on it to much.

So, magic books? Those exist too...

I suppose I am going to have to take your word for it.

They do. But I guess magic is what the decorations are about either way.
