Anyone knows any effective de-glittering methods? Preferably taking less than five seconds.

Warded to Asher
Okay. So. Do you honestly think this reformed thing is working for me? Because it is frankly exhausting to be good and I think I'm not really all that great at it anyway. It's no secret that I've done some shitty things in the past and maybe am still doing when I take steps to try to fix certain things it only feels like I'm digging an even bigger hole. And then there are those people that I just naturally react to in a certain way and I don't even know what the fuck is my deal but I can't seem to stop.

This is about Park and Ulysses and maybe Vee. Okay, largely Vee. I am a bit of a dick and apparently my talking to her is just making her worse or something. Park and Ulysses are both shitheads and I like being a shithead back too. Like kinda a lot. But also this necessarily means that I am failing majorly on the whole 'better person' plan I think.

I really hope you speak the language of rambling bullshit, because that is all my thoughts apparently amount to right now.

PS: Avoid our cabin for the moment if you can. Or like levitate your way in and out if you absolutely have to get back. There are glitter-traps everywhere. That may or may not be my fault too.

Time heals all wounds, dude. The only way to rid yourself of glitter is to wait.

[jerras]

Are you serious
Have you walked in and out of our cabin today? If not there's a specific stretch I highly recommend.

[solveforx]

What can I say? I guess I'm just the kinda dude whose day is improved by being covered in sparkles. I opened the front door this morning afternoon and thought it was my birthday for a second.

How are your vanishing spells? If you're careful with them, you can make sure you're only vanishing glitter versus, say, glitter and whatever the glitter's stuck to.

If you'd rather avoid naked mishaps, I can help you out. Although I'm still at Ribbonfin. I've been trying to figure out how to find and disarm these things.

[cygninae]

It's even in my ears.

[jerras]

Oh god
Well mine is not. So if you do learn of a good method please let me know. I don't think the library admits persons with this much glitter on them.

[solveforx]

You are so screwed. It's there forever now.

[solveforx]

Well, like, if you don't want to tempt fate by using scouring or vanishing charms on yourself, you could always just, like, use oil. That should take most of it off. At least enough to meet the Maximum Glitter Allotment for Library Access.

[jerras]

I tried those. It's vanishing in small amounts at a time because I don't want to take my own skin off too. It's just time-consuming too.

The majority of them are in the entrance and trail leading to our cabin. The room itself seems to be okay.

[chryseis]

No, we don't! This is an anti-glitter zone.

[jerras]

I have at least eleven inches of my paper I intend to write, four books for my research I need to read and no damned place to do all of that.

[cygninae]

I know. And I have too much hair its never going to all come out.

[jerras]

I'm not sure oil is going to quite cut it for Library Access either.

Why does Xavier know these things

[solveforx]

Hey man what's good for Ancient Greece is good for us. Go grab a strigil and get to scraping. Then just, like, shower afterwards.

[solveforx]

Glimmering and ethereal is not at all a bad look, tho, so there's that.

Lol. Jeremy can't decide if he's impressed or disturbed.

[jerras]

That definitely takes more than five seconds. Like closer to half a day's effort maybe.

[bambae]

Why do you know these things?

[cygninae]

I'm n
That's

That's good. Otherwise there's just the oil thing? Which I probably won't do.

[solveforx]

Yeah but you're gonna be in glitter hell for way longer than that otherwise, dude.

[knightly]

Ha, yes, it certainly is. Where are you? I'm pretty good at these charms, and I think I can get you 98% glitter-free in no time.

Ah, thank you. Worst case scenario, I was contemplating just trying to purposefully set them all off and then vanishing the glitter, and that'll be easier if they're in a contained area.

[knightly]

Please don't oil yourselves up, gentleman. This is what magic is for.

[jerras]

So far carefully targeted vanishing still seems the superior option.

I just like

retain information?

I don't like to think too hard about how the old filing cabinet works.

Could be a new kind of wrestling.
