24th Resurrection - Tic Tic Boom

[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.]

[She doesn't argue the point- no need to antagonize a guy who can make shit go boom. Speaking of, she jumps and stifles a squeal at the fence meeting its maker.]

Whoa!

[He's startnig to look bored, but he's still pleased with himself though.]

You still can't have any fun in this town. All this damage will be gone tomorrow anyway.

[tries to look crazy impressed, files the information away for later]

It does? Huh, I didn't know that....

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Just one of the many reasons this place is so goddamn boring.

[shrugs]

Sounds useful to me. If we're going to be stuck here, at least we won't be living in ruins all the time.

Mm. I guess. But it sort of sucks the fun out of it too. It's weird though. People have less fear of death and destruction here. Mayfield made those threats disappear.

Well, I know I wouldn't be scared of dying if I knew I could come back.

[another lie, this one not so smooth; she crosses her arms and turns away]

I guess it's true, then, what I heard- murder must happen a lot here.

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
I've died a few times here. It's not exactly something I suggest for a hobby though. And yeah, it does. Sometimes it's the town's fault, though.

[At this point the tired magician plops himself down on the nearest curb. All that dynamic casting's worn him out.]

[She takes a moment to absorb that, then looks at him.]

....you look beat. I didn't think I was talking that much.

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Nnn. Not you, casting. New spells, they take a lot out of you.

[identity profile] knowthestakes.livejournal.com 2010-09-29 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you been casting all day, too?

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2010-09-29 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Been studying this shit since last night. Not bad for a days work though, huh.
