ninth : now you're thinking with (magic) portals

[spellbent]

[ Well, with the town going crazy, seems like it would be wise for Warren to test out the magical tunnels he's been setting up since his last regain. He starts in his house, which is conspicuously clear of drones for the moment- don't ask what he does with them, but they've been especially annoying lately. Best to eliminate the problem.

In the middle of his living room, he activated the spell that opens up one end of the portal. He steps through, and ends up in any number of places as he tries them out: ]


[ A : THE PARK ]

[ The relative quiet in this little corner of the park is suddenly disturbed as reality practically tears open, and Warren steps out of the hole he's created. He frowns, turning back to the tear, and references the large book he had under one arm. He sketches a few marks in the air with one hand, watching as they feed into the portal.

That done, he sticks his arm through a couple of times. Apparently satisfied, he waves a hand and the tear closes up as though it was never there in the first place. ]


[ B : THE BAKERY ]

[ Buying some bread? Baking some bread? Well, don't mind the sudden hole in reality along one wall, and the wizard suddenly stepping through, book tucked under one arm. He studiously ignores whoever might be around for the moment, and inspects his handiwork.

If you look into the tear, you'll see what looks like an ordinary Mayfield living room, just a step away. ]


[ C : 725 ANDERSON LANE ]

[ Hello Anders! (And Simba??) Warren is dropping in- through a tear in reality in your living room. He probably scared the crap out of Messere Snugglesworth, though. He doesn't know about the lion yet. ]

[Klaus is buying strudel, actually, but that's not the important thing here. The important thing is that someone just opened up a rip in space not ten feet from him. As a scientist and a mad one at that, he is obligated by all the powers that be to stick his nose in this man's business.]

That is extraordinary.

[spellbent]

[ Warren glances at Klaus, honestly looking a little surprised to see someone there. He brushes it off quickly, though, and shrugs. ]

Nothing I haven't done before. I just needs some fine-tuning. [ back to the book! ]

[myblimpisbigger]

Do you mean to tell me you have perfected travel that transcends the confines of linear space and it's nothing you haven't done before?

[Who the hell are you? Even Klaus, the grandaddy of mad scientists, hasn't mastered the ability to create space portals.]

[spellbent]

[ Warren just blinks a couple of times. ] Yes? In a manner of speaking, anyway.

[Park]

[bye_to_yer_head]

*Sniper doesn't care about all the crazy crap that Mayfield is doing, so he's ignoring it by shooting at trees in the park, like normal. Until someone appears practically in front of him. Luckily he didn't have an arrow nocked or he would have shot him instantly.*

Strewth mate! Th' hell are you doin'?

[Park]

[spellbent]

[ More than anything, Warren looks annoyed that there's someone in his corner. Tch, no privacy anywhere. ]

Popping in for some tea. What does it look like I'm doing?

[Park]

[bye_to_yer_head]

Looks like yer walking out 'f thin air, that's what.

[park]

[allwehad]

[Margot is taking it easy today and hanging out at the park with a comic book when the calm is broken by rip in reality and the following appearance of Warren.

Well. That's pretty cool.]

Travelling in style today?

[spellbent]

[ Oh dammit. He thought no one would be in this part of the park. Oh well. Too late to move it now. ]

You could say that.

[allwehad]

[She seems mostly unperturbed.]

Teleportation spell, then?

[B: The Bakery]

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Chell was on duty at the bakery today and she was busily mixing together cake ingredients when Warren made his entrance not too far away from her.

The sudden appearance of the portal is a little bit of a surprise, but considering what she's seen him do with his magic and that she's used portals of her own, the fact that it's there isn't noteworthy.

She glances at him, then goes back to work.]

[spellbent]

[ Well, at least one person was where he expected them to be today. ]

Hello to you too, Chell.

[jumpsuited_rat]

[She nods to him and pours the mix into a pan, then sticks it into the oven. Once her task is done, she can take some time to chat, she's ahead of her work for the day.

Chell looks over to the portal and back to him.]

Portal gun or magic?

C

[3wayforjustice]

[The cat yowls -- apparently disliking strange men appearing in its living room while it's trying to nap on the couch -- then hisses, fur standing on end until it looks like a tabby puffball.]

[Of course, the noise brings the mage, from whatever it was he was doing in the study.]

Maker's breath! What is --

[A beat.]

... Warren? What are you doing here?

[spellbent]

Hello, Anders. I hope you don't mind my... dropping by.

[ through this hole that's still in your living room. ]

[3wayforjustice]

What is that?

A

[inthebones]

...Ripping holes in the fabric of space and time. Brilliant. Why don't you invite the other-dimensional monstrosities over for tea while you're at it?

[spellbent]

If I could actually leave this reality, I'd have been long gone now.

[inthebones]

Fair enough. But I frown upon the general practice as a whole and cringe at what you're doing to your home.

A

[infourbooks]

[Neville's used to magic, but this particular display is still fairly shocking]

Wow, that's...

[spellbent]

[ WELP. This is what he gets for doing this in the middle of the day, he supposes. ]

Neville, right? I'm guessing this isn't something you're used to.

[infourbooks]

Not quite like that, anyway. We have Floo Powder and Portkeys and Apparition but not... that.

Park

[logic_and_magic]

[Magic? Did someone say...magic? Cue excessive screaming of magic here and chasing Warren

Actually no. Crown has been in the park, trying to see if he could do anything with his potential, but nope. Nothing. Sighing in aggravation, he jumps when he see's a hole open up in the air.

He ducks behind a tree nearby, watching as a man steps out of it. He continues to do so when he begins to see this stranger writing symbols in the air and putting them in the door. When it closes, Crown steps out, curiously looking to the man.]

Was that magic just now?

[spellbent]

[ Warren actually rolls his eyes. ] Well, it sure wasn't origami.

[logic_and_magic]

[He's just gonna ignore that sarcasm and walk over to where the hole was.]

With different abilities and different names for them here it becomes a tangled mess.

[Placing a hand on his chin he looks up at Warren.]

I have never seen magic being written before.
