Story: Middle Part 17 and 18
[[Continuity Note: Alf's in bed with his magical mystical oracle orb.]]
He soon fell asleep listening to the droning voice of Bela Kun. He was against the apparent magical assimilation and his main arguments were that they'd had all this opportunity before, and why hadn't they done so? Because people were in general unaccomodating. This was the third meeting, the fourth if you counted the one that Alf had been physically present at, that Alf had listened to, and it seemed as though they only rehashed the same arguments. The current council spokesperson, Ewa Markiewicz was for the transition, and her main argument was that all people, including them, should be allowed to fully express themselves. For a spokesperson, her voice really wasn't very nice to listen to, Alf had noted that attribute some time into the first hour of council meetings.
Alf awoke to a startling realisation. And no, it wasn't that he'd forgotten to write his essay... that startling realisation came later... in third period. Alf's startling realisation was that he knew how to resolve the crisis. What crisis? The council's crisis. He was so excited that he ran to Jessica's house before school to speak to Mr Aldus. Unfortunately for Alf, Mr Aldus wasn't in, so he'd have to wait until after school to speak with him.
In Alf's third period history class, as previously mentioned, Alf's history teacher mentioned an essay which he then finally remembered. Of course, it was too late now, but it became clear to Alfie that this was probably a problem he was going to have for the rest of his life: the problem of juggling magical things with normal, non things.
After school, he walked home with Jessica. He'd refused to tell her his idea since he wasn't sure if it was completely stupid, or just a little bit stupid, and he didn't want to have to say it more than once. Instead, he wanted her to wait until they got home.
[[I think my crappiness about the whole thing was reflected in my writing. But at least it's up now, right?]]
