Stole ? Stole is such a harsh word ... I borrowed a flying broom, that was standing around all lonely and that was not even locked 🙄 And when I have finished my noble heroic task, he is free to return wherever he wants. And it is an outrageous insinuation that he tried to throw me off for the first ten minutes and that I was hanging underneath the broomstick most of the time while he flew through the bushes! Damn bushes! Yeah ... about the innocent bystanders ... I only hit a arch devil, who hardly meets the criteria for an innocent bystander ... and it was the wizard, who summoned him into the flight path, who should have known better ... and the arch devil should have known better than to answer a summoning on Halloween 🙄 And after all, I was all the time under the influence of a fairy cursed costume, so I blame all to the fairys, while all I did was being heroic 😁

you stole a magical broom??? That's a serious crime! I flipped thru a wizardry lawbook & found crimes: --A. Deprivation of Livelihood: If the victim is a professional athlete, a magical courier, or a potion ingredient harvester, stealing their broom deprives them of their livelihood, resulting in aggravated charges & steep restitution fees. -- B. Wandless Reckless Endangerment: Flying an unfamiliar, stolen broom poses a severe risk to both the thief & innocent bystanders below. If the thief lacks the proper licensing for that specific class of broom, they face secondary charges of unlicensed aerial navigation.-- C. Illegal tampering with magical constructs: Many high-end brooms are magically bonded or attuned to their specific rider. Forcing a broom to obey a new master requires Dark magic, malicious hexes, or forcefully breaking the broom’s protective charms.-- D. Vehicle Theft: Taking a broom that does not belong to you violates airspace laws. --E.Skyjacking= fleeing on stolen broom

laughing, I am dying here. The broom tried to buck you off??? And when that didn't work, careened through bushes to try to get them to push you off??? you kidnapped a broom that tried its best to defend itself against capture! ---(the first time I ever rode a horse, it tried to brush me against cactus. It was dinner time and it wanted to get rid of me and return to its hay. My friend was saying, use the whip! and I'm like, I'm not going to use the whip when it was trying rub me off with the fence. Poor horsie. but with the cactus??? I gave it a quick slap. Niceness only goes so far!!! Then the horse was perfectly nice. Huh. But I never rode a horse again, lol)

Of COURSE the fairys are to blame! I'm ALWAYS saying so, but nobody seems to believe me! (BtW that Arxh Devil seeme to be looking for you! Time to turn YOURSELF into a frog! Perhaps that will fool him...)

@panos Ignorance of the law is not a defense! ... You might have to bail your friend out of jail for saving you, lol. No good deed goes unpunished! Hopefully Belial doesn't visit him in jail first!

Hey, I was just on a Halloween party when I got your magic distress beacon, so I grabbed the next flying broom on the parking lot and flew over 😁 Don't you like my Halloween costume ? 😁
