Look inside, look inside your tiny mindThen look a bit harder'Cause we're so uninspired, so sick and tiredOf all the hatred you harbor

Frances poked around on her phone waiting for Martin to pop up from his meeting and go off for food, leaning up against the side of the office building he was currently in. If the lights flickered or the windows blew out, she'd know the meeting went.... sour and she needed to get in there. Hey, she could be a very believable bodyguard when the guy paid her in gold freaking doubloons. And by the way, she was now being followed by the Archival Squad for more. Looking up, she scowled at the picketers across the way and swarming the train station. Oh look at all the people's days you all are ruining, congrats. She sighed and kept playing Bejewelled, checking the time once more.

	I'm known for having good taste, she teases and mock-preens. If we had raced with yours it would have been just as tasty, just a longer competition. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	No no, we couldn't use my milkshake because then I'd get less milkshake overall and that wouldn't do. Not at all, this way he sneakily got to have an extra half a milkshake! There's a few small blue sparkling lights and all of a sudden the young mage is there and visible again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Less milkshake? Poor baby, she commiserates and pouts in sympathy. Oh to be young and have the metabolism of a cracked out hummingbird. She waves at him once he reappears. "Nice return, very simple. No poofy smoke or anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Less milkshake is terrible! He absolutely insists. There were no milkshakes to be had in the Sanctum so the only time he got any was when he went out with somebody who'd buy milkshakes. "Oh, I can do poofy, it wouldn't be hard but this is the usual way it works. And people would stare more at poofy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No no, streamlined and efficient is nice. And you don't accidentally trip the fire extinguishing system," she adds and points up to the ceiling. "Decade old water sitting in pipes is not the best shower ever." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ewww," he wrinkled his nose at the thought. After a thoughtful sip of his milkshake he shoots her his biggest eager eyes he can muster. "Frances?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-16 02:20 pm UTC (link)
	Uh oh, she knows that look. She squints back cautiously and lifts her eyebrow. "Yes?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Next time? Can you teach me how to shoot and about guns? Pleeeeease?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-16 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	Snickering, she nods. "Next time no one's attacking either of our turfs, give me a blue sparklie-avatar and we'll set it up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-16 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	Success! It didn't seem like anyone else was willing to teach him and even he knew that lessons from Kelly weren't the way to go. "Yesss! I will, I promise! Will I get to try shooting things?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-17 12:51 am UTC (link)
	She smiles and nods. "We will figure a way out to do it. But you have to swear on... the hat, to listen and obey all commands I give." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-17 01:05 am UTC (link)
	He beams then nods very seriously. "Okay, I can do that. Promise to listen to everything you say." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-17 01:12 am UTC (link)
	"Good." She smiles and leans back. "Then they won't worry about you beign credentialed or not. It'll be fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-17 01:17 am UTC (link)
	Frances was fun, so he's betting that following her commands wouldn't mean there was no fun to be had. Some people could be buzzkills. Especially with fun stuff that you weren't really supposed to do. "My credentials? What credentials do I need?" Apprentice to Sorcerer Supreme wasn't enough? But that was a good one!

	She shrugs and waves her hand. "The rules of the grounds say that it's illegal for people who haven't studied the rule and laws to handle a firearm. It's to be sure you know what you are handling and lower the chances of an accident." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-17 05:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, so like magic then. But you'll teach me so they shouldn't worry." Or maybe they'll worry more. People just didn't make sense sometimes, he thought. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-17 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Exactly like magic. Only with magic the accidents are sometimes funny or just odd. Guns? Not so much." She shrugs. "They won't hassle you, promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-17 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	Martin nodded. Things were so much easier to understand when you could relate it to magic. "Magic accidents can be very bad," he says seriously, he should know, his powers were accident-prone in nature. "Okay, I hope they don't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-17 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded with the assessment, magical backlash could get real ugly. "Accidents usually are, Pip. You'll be careful, we'll be safe and no one'll be shirty. That simple." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-17 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay, I trust you," he said simply with a nod and sipped his milkshake, still happy he'd get to see what the big deal about guns was. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-02-19 01:17 am UTC (link)
	"Good, trust me with the projectiles and I trust you with the magics." She toasts with the empty glass. "This'll be fun!" Really, a magician with erratic magic near firearms, loads of fun. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Deal!" He grins and looks around quickly before his own glass floats to clink against hers, but stops right before. Well you couldn't toast with an empty glass. Sigh. Well she shared and he liked Frances so he supposed he could share too...

Martin's milkshake glass floats up a bit more a tips to give her a bit of milkshake to toast with. "Yep! Extra fun! Because we always have fun, that's how you're supposed to do it."

	Well, wasn't someone feeling generous. She lifts an eyebrow, clearly impressed, and finishes the toast with him. "Of course, it is. That's why we called my staff seargent 'Chuckles' behind his back during boot camp." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-02-19 02:07 am UTC (link)
	He didn't just share his milkshake with anyone. And she had cheered him up earlier too. "Did he chuckle a lot or not at all?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
