The Call

Jaime Reyes voice sounds over the comm-rings--all of them--and it sounds very urgent.

« Everyone on the ship, listen up! This is Jaime Reyes, your local 'Blowing this pop stand' coordinator and escape facilitation engineer. I need everyone on the ship to come to the City, in front of the Precinct, immediately. Grab people who don't have their comm rings with them--and tell them to grab their comm rings, people who are sleeping, whoever you find, and try to make sure everyone on the ship knows to come. This is very important. This is "getting the heck out of here" important. »

When they arrive, they arrive to find the Command Staff waiting, and a tiny, tiny young man standing on stone ledge from a fountain, waiting for them.

Here goes nothing.

"Everyone has the 'ability' to learn magic, but there are those with more talent to learn it. Though many do not as it is a hard art to master," Pirogoeth said.

"And then there are those that are just born to be amazing at it." Zach grinned, puffing up his chest slightly. "My cousin still gets a bit more fanfare than I do at this point, but I plan on changing that. On-stage anyway."

"Thou art gifted more than others in it?" Pirogoeth asked. "Will it be real magic or stage magic only?"

Zach bristles slightly there. "Ah... well, stage magic, I'm already world famous. Genuine magic... well... there's some staggeringly powerful individuals on my world. Guiding the destiny of the universe and safeguarding reality, that sort of thing.."

Which wasn't quite admitting he was medium on the totem pole there, but it was as close as he'd go.

"There are always those with power beyond measure of the normal mortals," Pirogoeth commented. "Like the Seven Goddesses and their guardians."

"I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that pantheon." Zach furrowed his brow. "The influence of deities on my world is... very varied. The most influential are generally the Lords of Chaos and Order."

"I would not be surprised. It seems I am the only one from any version of mine world," Pirogoeth commented. "Very straight forward deities, those lords are."

"Well there's more than just those ones. They're just the ones that choose avatars the most frequently, and cause the most trouble." Zach quipped, shrugging.

At least the latest avatars were attractive girls. Being teammates with them hadn't been that bad honestly. Holly knew how to have a good time.

"Ah, avatars. Those are always troublesome. Especially when they form cults," she said. The look on her face suggested personal experience.

"Yes, well, avatars are crafted for all different causes. Thankfully the ones I've worked with have been more.. accomodating." Zach responded.

Yes, accomodating. We'll call it that.

"Well, if they didn't make crazy cults, I suppose they may be pleasant."
