Skymall and Talisman

Title: Skymall
Rating: G
Summary: Ruby, credit card.
Pairings: None.
Warnings: None.
Word Count: 100

Beatrisia goes through all her new meatsuit's personal effects. There's a card made of an unfamiliar material, with a series of numbers beginning 4128 and the name Ruby Breyer.

Ruby. Pretty name.

Beatrisia taps Ruby's memories. Ruby often hands this card to a shopkeeper, who slides it through a box and hands it back, then allows Ruby to leave with a bagful of merchandise. Some of the things Ruby remembers looking at suit Beatrisia far better than the things she and Ruby are accustomed to.

It's like stealing, only with fewer people after her ass for doing it. And it's fun.

Title: Talisman
Rating: G
Summary: Ruby, necklaces.
Pairings: None.
Warnings: None.
Word Count: 150

Beatrisia can't afford to do much magic. It draws too much attention and uses too much of the power she's cut off from—cut off for appearance's sake only, but the effect is the same. She can't stand to be away from magic, though. So almost the first thing she does when she's in Ruby's lithe young body is create a talisman that fogs ghosts' sight—it works on demons, too, but not well, and once Beatrisia's accustomed to it, it won't hurt her at all. More to the point, it puts off a constant tiny vibration of magic that soothes Beatrisia's nerves between casting spells.

When Beatrisia ditches Ruby's body, she has to leave her talisman behind. It's all right. It's a simple spell and the necklace is just costume jewelry without it. It's easy enough to find another such necklace and cast the spell again.
