Cat crawling

[stalksindarkness]

Shadow here has been doing nightly patrols, starting from the Sigma Spire which he now lived, and throughout downtown and west side. West side seemed to be the more small time crooks, which he honestly preferred because they tended to pick on folks who couldn't really take care of themselves. Slow weekend though, it seemed.

Otherwise his plans were simple. Enjoy the warm weather, spend a dubious amount of time watching Ben's DVD box set of Sumo Slammers, and maybe get some time in at the park.

1. Catch Shadow on a patrol in the older neighborhood or downtown. He won't say no to the company, but if you want to cause him trouble...
2. On Saturday night, Shadow sneaks into an arcade after it closes. Beats having to deal with the crowds. Also the constant problem of him being a lion and people generally being afraid of him. At least he's paying?
3. Shadow now has his own room in the Sigma Spire. Why is there faint mewing coming from behind the door?
4. There's a lion on the soccer field! There's a lion on the soccer field. And of course the teenagers and the mothers are not all to happy about it. You'd think he'd have a more positive public relationship by now. Worst thing is all he wanted to do was play some ball!

She presses her lips together for a moment before sitting. "And this is magic, not tech?" She's only curious.

[stalksindarkness]

"Indeed." She replies, pouring Gwen a cup and seeping a metal tea ball in the water. A bit fresher than a tea bag.

"Perhaps I can give you a little taste of magic to bring home with you."

[thesmartone]

"Like what?" She's curious, but knows better then to just accept an offer from a stranger.

[stalksindarkness]

"A simple little trick. And all you need is this." She turns to her antique desk and takes out a charm connected to a gold chain. The charm looks like a cat silhouette.

"Go ahead and try it on. If you don't like the magic, then all you need to do to stop it is to take the necklace off. But that being said, only someone with strong mana can make this work without knowing the spell."

The charm of course was already enchanted, a spell to transform the wearer into the animal the charm indicated. Once she transformed, the necklace would turn into a collar around her neck.

Shadow watched with interest. What's it going to do?

[thesmartone]

She looks at the charm, a cat. It's cute in it's own way, but she doesn't know what it does which make her leery of it. It takes a moment for what the woman said to fully sink in. Still holding the charm Gwen looks up at the woman confused. "Are you like me?" Was she another Anodite?

[stalksindarkness]

"Like you?" She smirks. "There are more beings who can use mana than just the cosmic anodites. Keep an open mind."

Shadow snorts at her. "Are you gonna try it? I wanna see what it does."

"But you know what they are, you know about aliens." This is something strange and new to her, people who aren't Plumbers knowing about aliens.
