Billy carefully poured out colorful sand from a jar, making slow progress with the circle in the living room carpet. This wasn't the best way to draw a circle, he knew that perfectly well, but for this it would serve. He'd been doing a lot of research into this and if it all went well he would only have to draw the circle proper once, well twice but once on the ground. The symbols themselves were piled on the coffee table, drawn on small sheets of paper he would tack down into place. He had warding stones but the paper was partly for an experiment and he wasn't too worried how it would go on that front. No the sand and the components were the big draw here. Oh... and the small booby trap he'd rigged up. It wasn't anything crazy, just a string and pully tied to the iron that Billy pretty much had never once used to get wrinkles from his clothes. Fuck, he'd used the fold up ironing board stored in the cupboard for a table more than its actual purpose.
Billy made a very careful slow circle until the colorful sand was all perfectly laid out. He tried not to do much proper magic in the apartment, sure some small spells in his bedroom but he had separated that space so that it wouldn't bother Junebug. However this circle, for its first time cast, was going to just be too big for his bedroom. between his bed and dresser he couldn't make enough space even if he tipped the bed on its side like he'd done before.
It was all fine though, Juniper had classes today. Or her part time job. Either way she probably wouldn't be home for another fifteen or twenty minutes and this wouldn't take that long. Stepping over the sand circle, Billy laid down a notebook with its blank pages open at the center. He was ready, and absolutely nothing could muck it up. As long as a window or door didn't suddenly open up to disturb all the groundwork he'd just laid.
