A Maze-ing

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days. The nearby stables are still maintained with a number of well-heeled equines.

"Yeah, but how do I look small?" she teased, striking a pose.

"Yeah, no," she said, pouting a little bit. "I don't, um, have perfect control yet. So there are times when it's very much NOT convenient."

"It's okay, girl," Sofia says. "I got you."

A thin ribbon of ectoplasm extends itself from Sofia and wraps around Molly. It lifts the girl up so she's eye-level with Sofia.

"Gah!" she said at first, and then laughed when she realized she wasn't actually in danger.

"OK, that's really cool. I don't suppose that would have worked when I was full size?"

"Sorry. The energy here is....weird," Sofia says. "It's usually pretty straight up, yeah? I'm stronger the more ectoplasm I can draw from. So, if a lot of people died someplace? Or just a bunch of people recently? No problem, I can lift a motorcycle over my head and throw it down the street. But here...."

"You're a sweetheart, but don't worry. I love my powers. And this is no big deal, it's probably just magic crap. I've seen it before," Sofia says. "Magic crap always screws things up."

I mean, you don't build a maze people can't get out of! What's the point of that."

"They can make the glasses THEMSELVES get bigger or smaller, apparently, but it messes with the actual lens. There's no way to have the prescription go up and down, so they're useless."

"Well, I'm pretty sure you're still you and not someone else, and I still have 20/50 vision. It's just, well, that's 20/50 subjective, so we're talking three or four feet of somewhat clear vision.

If I'm standing at your feet, I can't make out your face."
