The games we play
For some reason or another, there were mortals from the other teams at their home. Asleif wasn't entirely certain why. It had probably been brought up, likely by Sydney, but when mortals spoke, Asleif tended not to pay very much attention. They did not often have anything very important to say.

She poked idly at the fruit on her plate, and resisted the urge to glare or turn some of the more annoying ones into things. Like the Olympian, for example, who was loudly retelling (or possibly fabricating) some adventure of his in an attempt to chat up one of the women.

Not exactly here idea of a good time.

It was always interesting to visit Marlow's team, the people on it were certainly different. And now there were people from other teams here too! Perfect to see a bunch of interesting people. While he mostly spent time with Marlow, Martin left her to let her catch up with her Champions friends in peace.

Somehow that had led him to standing beside one of the (awfully tall) lady asgardians. This was the magic one, he could tell without asking, and the one that ignored Marlow. Which was a terrible travesty, but still...he wondered what type of magic she could do.

"What type of magic do you do?" Came a voice suddenly. The young mage looked up at her as he asked, why did they all have to be so tall?

	And to think, Asleif was the shortest of the three sisters. She stared for a moment, when she realized someone was talking to her. "Many kinds," she said. "Elemental, transmutation, transportation, illusions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It wasn't hard to be taller than him, he was still growing though, and going through a growth spurt now. A late one, he grumbled.

Hmm, illusions were only interesting when Marlow did them, he couldn't do them save that one shakey holdiay one he'd sent to Marlow. Transmutations he could do but had iffy control over, they often happened accidentally when his gloves leaked too. But hmm transportation ones could be interesting, he wondered how asgardians did those.

"What sort of transportation spells? And could you show them? Please?" The lady wasn't nice to Marlow, so he already wasn't a fan, but he was going to be polite in order to see her magic.

	Well, this might provide some amusement. She nodded slightly. "A folding of the space-time field," she explained. "To cross both the boundaries of this dimension and others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-11-21 12:01 am UTC (link)
	Cue a supremely unimpressed expression that looked like he was suppressing an eyeroll. He didn't want it explained, he asked for it to be shown. Guh, maybe it was a weird asgardian thing. Marlow had said they had their own way of talking and doing things. "Well yeah, I can do that too. I want to see how you do it though." Was she all talk? Come on! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2013-11-21 12:43 am UTC (link)
	Another nod. "Then behold, small mortal," she said. She brought her hands up, drawing the mystic signs in the air. Space and time folded and crackled around them, enveloping them in energy. When the light faded, they were sitting on the roof of the compound. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-11-21 01:09 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not that small," he grumbled quietly as she started and he watched. Interesting mystic signs there, bit of a long winded way to do it though. He looked around once they were on the rooftop. Smooth transition, he'd give her that. Not too fast though. "Huh, that's interesting. I can do it faster but at least yours isn't a bumpy ride," he shrugged. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2013-11-21 01:25 am UTC (link)
	She raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? And how dost thou do it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-11-21 02:42 am UTC (link)
	They did have funny ways of talking, Marlow had been right. He tipped his hat to her politely. "Step right up," he said and indicated the blue disc under his feet that was slowly lifting above the ground. It expanded considerably to make room for the giant lady and still leave enough personal space for him so he wouldn't be uncomfortable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2013-11-21 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Interesting," Asleif said, as she stepped onto the disc. "Thine control art... impressive." For a mortal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He tipped his hat with a smile at the compliment as blue flames erupted from the edges of the disc, roaring as they swirled about in a rush, blocking their view for a moment, and as they swirled out as fast as they started, it revealed that they were on the other side of the compound. No time consuming handwaves or signs.

"Thank you," he said politely and beamed proudly/, though nobody ever complimented his control. To be fair, teleportation was by far his best controlled spell, and it was impressive for him. Though they were a select few spells he could be complimented on control for...at least this was one of them. "Told you, faster."

	godlierthanthou 2013-11-22 01:07 am UTC (link)
	"Somewhat," she conceded. "A touch more flash to it as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-11-22 01:16 am UTC (link)
	"More than somewhat, and it's magic, there's supposed to be a touch of flash, that's the fun in it," he explained. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2013-11-22 01:30 am UTC (link)
	This got a small nod. "I hath a... certain appreciate for the theatrical," she said after a moment. "When teleportation is not called for, I hath other, also impressive means of travel." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-11-22 05:43 am UTC (link)
	He nodded in approval, theatrical was great. Martin crossed his arms and looked up at her with a slight challenge to his expression. "Okay, prove it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2013-11-22 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	"As thou wish," Asleif said. And then she simply seemed to explode into an unkindess of ravens, they flew about him for a moment, before settling across various perches around them. "Dost thou," the ravens said, speaking with one voice, "consider this proof enough?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-11-23 12:07 am UTC (link)
	Martin smiled at the show, he liked the theatricality of it, he'd give her that. "Hmmm I don't know if that's more impressive. What happens to you if one of the birds gets hit?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2013-11-23 12:34 am UTC (link)
	If birds could give a piercing stare, they were now. "One or two, perhaps as many as four, couldst I lose without much consequence. More... might result in injury. But I art of the line of giants, and the line of Thor and Odin. I wouldst survive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-11-23 12:37 am UTC (link)
	Piercing bird glares didn't seem to have any effect on the young mage. "As long as they could dodge I guess. Because if they were flying in a group and I shot a magic bolt, I could probably hit four at once," he pondered out loud. "So are you a giant? Is that why you and your family are so tall?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2013-11-23 12:42 am UTC (link)
	The birds flapped together and reassembled themselves into Asleif, leaving only a few stray feathers on the ground. "I and my brother art part giant, from our grandfather. But we art all of the line of Thor, and we gods are simply larger than mortals." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-11-23 12:51 am UTC (link)
	"Like superhero god Thor?" He didn't mention she didn't look much like Thor from the newspapers. And he'd never met Loki so he couldn't at least comment she looked like him. "I didn't know Thor could do magic. So...what else can you do? Show me one! How about an illusion?" Because Marlow did illusions wonderfully. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2013-11-23 01:35 am UTC (link)
	She nodded. "Thor art mine father," Asleif said. She gestured, a quick flick of the wrist, and instantly seemed to split into a circle of Asleif's, surrounding him. "Like this?" They spun around him, faster and faster, until the world seemed replaced by an alien dimension. Asleif herself was nowhere to be seen. "Or this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He stood in the middle of the circle, his arms crossed and surveying her illusions, clearly someone used to the magic and weirdness with it. "Not the first one, those aren't anything really out of the ordinary, they're like Marlow's illusion selves, I've seen those a bunch of times." It didn't occur to him that she might not like being compared to a teammate she ignored, but Martin tended to use Marlow as a measuring stick for matters of illusions. Just because he didn't have the control to do them, didn't mean he didn't have an eye for them.

"I like your second one better. This is nice. What place is this one from? Or did you make it up?" He chattered pleasantly as he looked around out of interest.

	The dimension faded away, replaced by a monstrous looking dragon. "A little of both," she explained. "Based upon the Burning Galaxies... but embellished a bit as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-11-23 03:29 am UTC (link)
	Well he didn't see why this lady didn't talk to Marlow more and ignored her. Her illusion selves weren't much different or more impressive. He looked up at the dragon casually and flicked a mystic bolt at it. "I like the dragon though, you should see Marlow's illusions, they're awesome." He couldn't exactly brag about his own illusions, he couldn't do them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2013-11-24 01:17 am UTC (link)
	"Thine friend hast... certain skills," Asleif conceded. She banished the illusion after the bolt rendered parts of it asunder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-11-24 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Marlow has many skills, her illusions are the best. At least the best I've seen," he said, aiming to correct. "And she's like my sister not friend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2013-11-24 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	Asleif allowed a small nod. "As you say, then," she said diplomatically. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-11-25 01:47 am UTC (link)
	Martin beamed, he'd tell Marlow even her tall dark teammate agreed! "I do say!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2013-11-25 01:57 am UTC (link)
	A small nod again. "I shalt accept thine judgement and knowledge of mortal magics then." (Reply to this)(Parent)
