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.

	A private beach? Fifteen acres of land? He could think of few places he'd ever been that could boast that kind of space. "All right. Do you guys assign them or do I just find an empty one? Is there an empty one?" Andy asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We have some open space," Syd said. "We'll find you a place to bunk. Provided you want to stay with the team. Which you are welcome to of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Argo's is empty now," Marlow pointed out helpfully. "They have kitchens if you want to cook for yourself, but Sarah is a great cook." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd like to stay, if you'll have me. Well, us. Titan is kind of a part of me and he can be tough to deal with. I'll do my best to keep him in line." Andy says. He then looks to Marlow. "Oh, I shouldn't cook for myself. It goes poorly. I'm good with whatever Sarah makes." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll show you down there. If you don't want to stay alone, Griffen has a spot open in his bungalow now that Ohu left. It's up to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know, I think I can live with staying alone. I don't want to inflict my neuroses on anyone else." Andy says with smile that might indicate he's joking a bit. Titan shouldn't be inflicted on anyone unless they're bad and they deserve it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Another hunky around? And one who she wasn't currently kind of related to? Dawn could get behind that idea. "Oh, we're all got neuroses around here," she said. "You'll fit right in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-07-08 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes. Like Dawn said, we all have our own neuroses around here. Some have a few more than others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow didn't ask what they were. She'd long ago learned that there were plenty of undercurrents on the compound and it was safer to stay out of them. She did echo Dawn's unspoken thought about having another guy around to look at that wasn't Hal. Two guys, if Titan counted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, thank you for letting me stay. Was Argo with you all very long? Did you know him well?" Andy asks. He still thought it was pretty wild that he'd fallen in with his brother's old friends. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-07-09 12:28 am UTC (link)
	"Don't know," Dawn said. "Before my time, actually. Though there's still women outside the gates sometimes who don't get that he's moved. Marlow and I usually try making it rain to get them to go away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sydney said no to lightning," Marlow said. She was still watching him curiously. "It's good practice for non-violent solutions. Argo was nice to be around. He talked to people. Sometimes it was fun to count how many girls came out of his bungalow early in the morning when I went to the beach to swim before breakfast." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-07-09 12:41 am UTC (link)
	"He was here for a few months," Syd said. "Long enough to feel like a part of our family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Andy laughs a little at Marlow's description of Argo's activities.

"Yeah, that sounds like my big brother. He's definitely a ladies' man, but you won't have that kind of trouble with me. The only person who knows I'm in town is my mother, and she's back in New York." Andy says.

"I should probably get settled in and figure out where everything this so that I'm not wandering around like an idiot. Besides, a run down the beach before dark sounds like a good idea." he says.

"What time is dinner? I don't want to be late." he says.

	"Sarah has dinner ready for serving at 6:30," Marlow said. "Food is also available whenever you're hungry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-07-09 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"Good food too," Dawn added. "The fridge is very well stocked, and so's the pantry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2010-07-09 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"Then I'll be back here around 6:30, but this beach sounds like a great idea." Andy says. "If anyone needs me, I'll be down there." he says. If no one stops him, he'll head down to the beach to run a bit and just enjoy the view. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dawn watched him go. "I believe the technical term is... "woof'." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-07-09 02:47 am UTC (link)
	Syd giggled. "He is quite a sight indeed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-07-09 02:48 am UTC (link)
	"I liked him too. Do you think he'll come back? He was so green and funny." (Reply to this)(Parent)
