Colchester: I don't do Fiction. Not my field.

“Where are the ordinary, everyday women? They don't exist because this is a movie!"
"No, this is California.”

Before the sun had set, the Jaguar had stood out from the Fiestas, Corsas, and Golfs that populated the grassy field marked with parking spaces. Now that the sky was dark and the screen illuminated by the flickering camera feed it was just another silhouette in the darkness. The stereo was probably never intended to play movie audio over the FM receiver, but it made it sound quite good.

"This movie is way smarter than people give it credit." Victor softly commented before shoving some popcorn into his mouth.

"Query: Why does your universe have so many stuffy old man British villains and not more freaky glass eye beardy ones?"

"Children are taught not to run with scissors in this universe."

"Man, this place really is backwards. " She quipped back.

by **Victor Freud** » Mon Sep 21, 2020 2:55 am

"Tell me about it. You have to be 18 to buy scissors here. Unless they're antiques."

"Almost had me going. Almost. "

"The best way to lie is to tell the truth."

Victor adjusted the seat back a bit and took a sip of his soda.

"... I really wasted this year, huh? We could've been doing stuff like this all the time."

"To procrastinate is human.

To avoid everything new to the point of detriment is Freud.

That's a fancy way of saying I'm used to it."

by **Victor Freud** » Tue Sep 22, 2020 1:23 am

"My condolences."

by **Emilie** » Tue Sep 22, 2020 1:26 am

Emilie rolled her eyes, smirking.

"Fuck you." She replied, though her tone implied she was mostly joking.

Mostly.

by **Victor Freud** » Tue Sep 22, 2020 1:37 am

Victor's demeanor suggested that he wasn't offended, taking it mostly as a joke and maybe partially deserving it. Still, he was quiet for a little bit while he watched the movie. They were into the second act before he piped up again with a topic other than commenting on what was on the screen.

"Do you think not having your powers might break the cycle?"

by **Emilie** » Tue Sep 22, 2020 1:45 am

"Doubt it." She replied.

"Like I said, this has happened before and I've still moved afterward."

by **Victor Freud** » Tue Sep 22, 2020 4:04 pm

"Like, happened permanently?" Victor mused softly. "This is sounding more and more like a monkey's paw situation."

by **Emilie** » Tue Sep 22, 2020 4:41 pm

"I have straight up reappeared with no powers at all.

That's why I know whatever is up with me isn't power related."

by **Victor Freud** » Tue Sep 22, 2020 10:26 pm

"Yeah, definitely a bad juju sitch, not a freaky scifi sitch. Not my forte, I'll have to call in some favours."

by **Emilie** » Tue Sep 22, 2020 11:06 pm

"From who? Your lawyer friend Lebowski?

I don't think this is their forte'."

by **Victor Freud** » Wed Sep 23, 2020 12:19 am

"Dunno. I gotta make the friends first, and then get them to owe me favours."

by **Emilie** » Wed Sep 23, 2020 12:54 am

"Work harder. The only friend I know you got with any special skills is me." She laughed.

by **Victor Freud** » Wed Sep 23, 2020 10:03 pm

"True. I gotta go to the wrong side of the tracks, start sitting with the spooky kids at lunch."

by **Emilie** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 12:39 am

"You already sit with the spookiest, isn't that enough?"

by **Victor Freud** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 2:42 am

Apparently not, as we haven't solved this mystery yet. We have to go spookier."

by **Emilie** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 2:46 am

" How much spoop are we willing to subject ourselves to for answers?"

by **Victor Freud** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 3:00 am

"Why, have you got a lead?"

by **Emilie** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 3:17 am

"Well I would have said we hit up the wizard again, but the friendly one is AWOL.

What happened to Quinn?"

by **Victor Freud** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 10:36 pm

"Hmm, good question. How likely do you think he is to co-operate?"

by **Emilie** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 11:05 pm

"Uncertain to not fucking likely."

by **Victor Freud** » Fri Sep 25, 2020 12:00 am

"And we have nothing to bargain with, nothing we could offer him. Except his freedom, but I sure as fuck ain't giving him that. He was stabbin' people."

by **Emilie** » Fri Sep 25, 2020 12:16 am

"So who else we got?"

by **Victor Freud** » Fri Sep 25, 2020 2:15 am

"... do you think that Professor Odd guy ever checks his emails?"

by **Emilie** » Fri Sep 25, 2020 2:27 am

"I mean, I brushed elbows with Steven in other realities and he tended to have a pretty large social media presence before the whole magic thing... but like, I don't feel like I'd pull enough importance for the Sorcerer Supreme of this reality to care."

by **Victor Freud** » Sat Sep 26, 2020 10:29 pm

"Guess I'm gonna have to stop by Tesco on the way back and pick up a Ouija board. That or ask the principal if she can help."

by **Emilie** » Sat Sep 26, 2020 11:19 pm

"She's not much for 'magic'. Her brain can't wrap itself around it."

by **Victor Freud** » Sat Sep 26, 2020 11:44 pm

"Yeah but she's got a database that's gotta have at least one magic person in there, right?"

by **Emilie** » Sat Sep 26, 2020 11:45 pm

"If she feels they're worth noting I guess.

Maybe labeled under 'crackpots and snake oil men'. "

by **Victor Freud** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 1:51 am

"Aren't there, like a half-dozen magical kids at school? Would she file them under that too?"

by **Emilie** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 2:03 am

"Uh, yea! Probably!" She replied with only a touch of sarcasm.

by **Victor Freud** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 5:11 pm

“Then she’s probably got the number of some wizard or sorceress that she calls when things get a little too spoopy and she doesn’t know how to handle it. I mean, she got you fake papers and stuff, in for a penny in for a pound at this point, right?”

by **Emilie** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 5:29 pm

"I mean, I don't doubt her ability. Just how open her third eye is."

by **Victor Freud** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 5:50 pm

“I dunno dude, as far as I know she’s the best lead we’ve got to finding someone who can help you break your cycle.”

by **Emilie** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 6:10 pm

"Whatever you thinks best." She relented, picking at her popcorn.
