24th Resurrection - Tic Tic Boom

[sanctus_dei]

[Are you paying attention today, Mayfield? I hope so, or you might accidentally get blown up.

Theo's out on the town, holding an old and faded leather-bound book in one hand, and gesturing with the other. He has a flat expression while he mumbles some words in Greek, casting some spells. He's out today practicing some offensive magic spells, since Marisa was asking him with help on them the other day, he figures he should practice. He wasn't very strong with attack spells, but what else did he have to do in this boring town besides practice on things around town?

Mayfield, you're being treated to small explosions all over town. There's a rush of air and a spark, and things are goin' kaboom! Your car, your shrubs, lampposts, mail boxes, dog houses, whatever. But, his aim and his casting of such spells is a bit off... which might have to do with the fact that, as usual lately, he's a bit drunk.

What else has he got to do in all his boredom when half the people in town he used to talk to now avoid him like the plague, and one of the last people who did now seems droned permanently? It was weird enough having Shina's drone call him "Mr. Crawford", let alone seeing her acting so vapid and NOT drinking tea...

Want to stop him? Join in on the fun? He may not even acknowledge you, and really doesn't give a rat's ass if he gets droned.]

[Well, there goes his fucking mailbox, right in front of him when he stepped out into the front yard after hearing the other explosions around the neighborhood. He isn't particularly fond of that having happened.

But what power.

Yet you blew up his mailbox.

Still, what a will it must be to control that power.

But don't do it on his property.]

Those with power should take care where they aim it.

[As you say that, he casts another spell, and the explosion leaves a hole in the middle of a nearby tree, splinters flying everywhere. He laughs.]

How 'bout THAT, Wilhelm. 'M getting better. That was a good shot. I'm doing better than I was even a few hours ago.

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

[Just staring at the tree. That IS a rather nice hole, and the control it would technically require to cause it to damage it that way is impressive.]

Getting quite a bit of practice today, are we Theo?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Have't got much else to do. Never tried spells like this before. Seems I've been missing out.

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

I see.

Do you believe you could try them somewhere else, at the moment?

[hound-of-war.livejournal.com]

No that I blame ya, but aren't you overdoing it a bit?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[BLAM! That WAS some kid's bike, now a twisted pile of metal. Oh well.

He shrugs.]

Actually I was hoping for some stronger results, but this is my first time using these spells. Makes me wonder why I waited so long though.

[hound-of-war.livejournal.com]

Seems plenty strong to me.

Didn't really take you for the type to go around indiscriminately breaking stuff, though.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[He grins, and bows at the compliment.] Consider it an attempt to broaden my horizons. [Also, he's kinda drunk.]

Doesn't matter, does it? Everything you break just comes back in a few days. What're they gonna do, drone me? Big deal.

[Was that the mailbox? Theta pokes her head outside and watches as now a car gets blown up. She heads over to a part of the porch she can lean against--as she can't put weight on her left leg ever--and begins to applaud.]

Good show!

[She's not being sarcastic, either.]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[Theo laughs at the exploding car, then lights himself a cigarette. He totally wasn't aiming for that car, but that was AWESOME.

He turns to the sound of applause. When he sees it's Theta, he bows.]

I aim to please.

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

Expertly done! [Being over the top just somewhat...suits her, and she's happy to chatter along and just go with it.]

Show me another trick?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[Something like this isn't usually Theo's style, btu hell, what else has he got to do in Mayfield? He grins wickedly.]

Why not?

[It'll be hard to top the car, and he didn't bring any components with him to cast bigger, more devestating spells. So, he'll settle for blowing up some drone kid's nearby red wagon. But he does it in such a way that it launches itself straight up into the air about ten feet.

He chuckles.]

[FOLLOWING LIKE A CREEPER AND WATCHING--

But when a car explodes? Have some mad laughter and wild clapping. So impressive, Theo-papa, so cool.]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[He looks around, staggering a bit, looking for the source of the laughter. But then it dawns on him whose it is. Oh ho, so you're impressed by this, ghost!daughter? When he sees you, he smirks.]

Ya like that?

[not-booberry.livejournal.com]

Yeah!! You really are a wizard, ain't you? Awesome.

Aaa ha ha ha ha-- Do it again! Come on!

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Of course I am! A damn fine one. Look I've learned in just a few days.

[Reading from his book again, and with a few more gestures, Theo casts another spell. It's hard to top an exploding car, so this time he'll aim for the top of a tree. The whole thing shakes, leaves flying everywhere and some startled birds take flight.]

[knowthestakes.livejournal.com]

[Magic? Oh, Margarita is on that like a rat on a cheeto.

But cautiously, cautiously....her last impression of this place was that witches were not welcome here, and hell if she'll reveal herself so soon to a guy who just made a mailbox explode, because maybe he hates witches too. So instead it's time to play the "innocent schoolgirl" act- something she's very, very good at, because isn't that what she wishes she could honestly be?]

Hey, mister?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[Mr. Witch here is quite drunk and tired thanks to all that spellcasting. He looks around to see who's talking to him and spots you, blinking.]

What.

[knowthestakes.livejournal.com]

[okay, what do....he doesn't sound very friendly, better watch the exuberance]

You're the one who caused those explosions, right? Do you mind if I ask how you did it? I-I don't mean to be rude, I've just...never seen anything like that before.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[He grins. It's not a very nice grin. And as much as Theo hates talking to people, he loves gloating even more.

He waggles the spell book up near his face.]


Magic. They don't have it where you're from?

[hexbell.livejournal.com]

[As luck would have it? Tlachtga, out for one of her walks...again. Aside from all of the noise in recent hours, it seems pleasant enough out here.

Until that car she's drawing closer to suddenly explodes.

She's fortunate enough to not be close enough to actually get hurt, but the surprise leads to her suddenly jumping back and searching for the cause.]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey look, it's not!husband. Not surprising, I bet. He hasn't seen you there, and wasn't really aiming for that car, but he's happy with that result anyway.

But he's getting really tired. He sits down on a nearby curb, lighting up yet another cigarette, and watches the burning car with a smirk.]

[hexbell.livejournal.com]

[She has to admit, the explosion was kind of impressive. Reckless, but impressive.

After being sure the newly-made fireball won't be exploding into a bigger fireball, the woman walks past it and will be headed right past Theo...a bit hurriedly, as well; she has a specific destination, rather than simply walking around, for once.]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[Theo sees her finally, and assumes she's blowing him off, since Kay's been pretty much doing the same thing lately. There's a "hmph" as you walk by, though.]
