Marlow Gets a Makeover (open)
Downtime after the Defenders/Offenders war gave Marlow plenty of time to think about the spells she'd used and their effects. She'd knowingly overreached several times for magic she didn't think she should be able to wield and had done so easily. It was something she had to figure out before their next battle. She tried to contact Clea but those particular spells weren't working so well. Perhaps it was something she could talk to Matt about since he was the only other magic user she knew that might not get agitated when she said power surge.

Sure, there was Dawn...or was it Aslief? Who knew anymore. One was nice but untrained, the other expert and dismissive. While the others merely overlooked her, Aslief literally did not see her until there was a need for another sorceress.

Barefoot, wearing a boy's black tee shirt and faded to nearly white jeans, she made her way from the bungalow to the main house for a late breakfast. A ball of pulsing light hovered a few inches above her open palm.

As if to answer Marlow's question, Titan smirks and closes his eyes, beginning to shrink down, shorter and shorter, until he's no longer towering over the three women. He's still tall, but he's no longer a giant.

He's also no longer green.

Andy Walters opens his eyes, and his hands immediately go to holding up his now-oversized pants. His shoes and shirt are gone (he hates that), and he stands before the three women with an expression of confusion on his face.

"Okay...this is awkward. I am not some creep flasher, or a demon. And I definitely not a Mongolian Death Worm. Those thing are a pain in the ass." Andy says, shuddering at the last time he'd dealt with one. He'd been sick for a day or two from its poison, which was better than most did in the same situation.

"Did you any of you meet a giant green guy recently? More importantly, where's the restroom?" Andy asks, trying not to look like he had no clue where he was as he held up his pants.

	"I like the giant green guy. He's friendly." Marlow's head tilted as she regarded Andy. He was nice to look at too. "It's over there." She pointed to the sign on the wall indicating the bathrooms were down a hall toward one of the exits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We'll wait for you here," Syd assured him. Godlings and now she's guess a Hulk. The fun never stopped. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Uh, thank you." he says.

He heads back to his table for a moment, amid several surprised and angry stares, goes to the bathroom to change clothes. When he returns, he seems a little less embarrassed, though no less tense.

"I'm ready when you are. Oh...and I apologize for anything Titan, the big green guy, might have said to you." he says to Marlow, Dawn and Sydney. Then he looks at Marlow.

"Miss, you only like him because you don't know him yet. That will change." Andy says, an odd expression crossing his face.

	"He didn't say anything wrong," Marlow assured Andy. She held out her hand. "I'm Marlow. It's nice to meet you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She was losing her mind. That was the only explanation for how well she was dealing with this kind of thing.

"I'm Dawn," she said. "And..."

She looked around, finding that anyone who might be watching had long since run, and stamped her staff on the ground, changing back to normal and the staff into its umbrella disguise.

"It's fine. Really. This kind of thing happens more than you'd think."

Andy shakes Marlow's hand. "Hi, I'm Andy. Andy Walters."

He will shake hands with Dawn and Sydney if they allow it, then nod at Sydney. "You're right. It's probably better if we leave before people who can ask questions get here. I'm ready." he says.

He looks at Dawn with new interest when she changes.

"Wow, nice to see I'm not the only person who changes." Andy smiles.

	Dawn will. "It... comes in handy," she admitted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow looked around again. Too many curious faces. Without the big, green guy to entertain, she was back to blending in the bacground. "I didn't get a chance to buy new clothes. I'll get the ones I looked at and meet you at the car, if that's all right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sydney nodded. "Go ahead. We'll be waiting for you." She looked at the others. "Let's go." (Reply to this)(Parent)
