Magic Beer
Mark had been in the mood to drink. So he had. He was an adult and could do things like that. Except this beer had done something. He wasn't sure how much he had. Just that it seemed like a very good idea to go to the New York public library. Then it seemed like a good idea to organize everything by magic. Every book was put back in place. He hadn't meant to upset everyone by having it fly magically though as if the books were birds.

He also shouldn't have noticed how many books were missing. He should not have called up the spirits of past librarians and sent them to go fetch the missing books.

But he had. People were very upset and he found himself alone in a dark part of the library as the alcoholic haze began to lift.

And Mark felt very embarrassed and had a feeling he was going to get scolded by someone.

	Librarian, meet teacher. Victoria had been able to sense that much magic going on as far away as Gotham. Traveling there was easy enough--one moment she was in her apartment, the next in the library--and she frowned when she saw what had occurred. Someone was responsible for this. Someone was going to get a good talking to. (Reply to this)(Thread)

It would be very odd to find Dr Fate here one would think. He was trying to make sure there was no lasting damage.

Just what had he done? He was puzzling over this when he got the sense someone else was there. And he should be very embarrassed someone else had to come but he couldn't bring himself to care. He had to be sure that no magic had been soaked into the books by what had happened.

	It did not take her long at all to find the source. "I don't suppose," she said firmly, "you'd care to explain yourself?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Why such disapproval? He didn't mean it. Really. "While I was not protected by the magic granted to me by Nabu I fell under the.... influence of 'magic beer'. Apparently my inner librarian felt the need to organize this entire library," he explains in a very calm tone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"'Magic beer,'" Victoria repeated, her eyes remaining fixing on Mark. "Exactly how much of this "magic beer" did you have?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	How is it that she makes him feel properly scolded already. "Four. It takes six for me to actually feel drunk normally," he explains. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She tends to have that effect on everyone. Victoria's gaze did not soften. "And you felt no indications prior to doing all this that you were more intoxicated than usual?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thought I felt tired. Not... Not like what I felt like by the end of the fourth." He actually chuckles. "I believe it was a delayed reaction. I had more food than beer in my system at the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mm-hmmm." Victoria's gaze finally relaxed by a few degrees. "And what are you doing to fix the problem?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I',m making sure I didn't leave any spells on the books." There is a very stern ghost libarian glaring at him. "And yes. I will make sure the rest of you can go back to you rest." Please stop glaring it's distracting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Victoria turned her own glare at the ghost librarian for a moment, pitting glare against glare. She returned her attention to Mark, and nodded. "Good then. And how is that going?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fair;y well, apparently I used... mostly harmless spells in creative ways," Dr Fate is pleased that nothing will stick around. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good then," Victoria said. Satisfied that things were well enough on their way to being restored, she offered him her hand. "I am Victoria Craft." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mark Clearwater." He sees no reason to not share his name. He isn't exactly out to hide who he is. He doesn't think he has any reason to fear people. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nabu's latest chosen representative," Victoria supplied. "Barring tonight... I have heard many a good thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well I'm certainly not perfect.... when I was not 'aware' of my duty and Nabu was er, driving the boat so to speak? I attacked Warhawk thinking he had turned into a murderer." He shakes his head. "I was mistaken. A young woman was using magic in vengeance against those who slew her family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She nods. "We have all of us, made mistakes. I hope that it was resolved well?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
