A Strange Quest
Quinn had been thinking about the leprechaun incident and had a feeling it wouldn't be the last time he saw the little annoy creatures. Quinn's magic hadn't been effective and he had to know what to do the next time they came around. Maybe there was a spell or something that would work against them and their magic.

Quinn had to go to the one person who would know about this kind of stuff.

He teleported to 177A Bleecker Street in New York only to find it empty. He wondered where Dr. Strange was.

There was one person who may know. Quinn teleported out to the West Coast and arrived at the front gate of the Defenders.

	She blinked. Clearly this thing wasn't getting it. So she spelled it out. Jericho Drumm. J E R I C H O. Haiti. Another message was dispatched to the sender. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Was this thing fucking serious? She send back another. You do realize you're sending this to Shelly Drumm, right? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Another arrived. Yes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She sent back another reply. This stopped being funny five minutes ago, Walker. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This is not Walker. This is serious. Please attend. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Magickal pranks are against council edict. I have no problem reporting you, no matter how funny you think this is and frankly find it to be in bad taste that you would insult my intelligence by presuming that I would just run off to some 'meeting' without duly checking into it, WALKER. This was uncool. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The next invitation was delivered in person.

As she was at full power no matter where she traveled, Marlow teleported herself to the source of the repeated refusals. Shelly Drumm could refuse their request, but she should refuse the request made, not a misunderstanding.

Walker wasn't recognized, though it should have when she arrived outside of Shelly Drumm's door and felt the signature behind the wards. These wards were a lot more powerful than the ones Matt had around his own home when she breached them without thought. These would do her harm if she tried to invade no matter how well-intentioned her motives were.

So she did a very non-magical thing and knocked.

	"Oh my gods. Really? Matt, this isn't funny." Irked, Shelly threw open the door and... "You're not Matt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nope," Marlow said cheerfully. "He's taller. It's not a joke. We're seriously convening a council at Stonehenge. This dimension is without protection and you've been picked to attend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Shelly's already quirked brow rose higher still.

"Wait, you know Matt?"

Ignore the Stonehenge bit (and really, was everything really all about the Druids and mystical white people stuff? Ugh. She was probably going to be token black person there. Uncool.) for a moment. This girl knew Matt. This pretty young girl knew Matt. He...failed to mention attractive young magickal girl.

Marlow nodded, happy that there was a familiar connection and oblivious to the undercurrents. "I know Matt. His dog is such a sweetheart. Anyway, Dr. Strange is missing and this dimension is without a Sorcerer Supreme. There is a procedure to select a new one and one of his apprentices is hosting a council at Stonehenge. Quinn Braddock, the apprentice, and I cast the spell to select the attendees, and you're one of them. Please come. It's life and death for this world and every vote is needed."

"You know his dog? You've been to his house?"

Not forty-eight hours before she had been half naked on her couch with Matt and Shelly didn't even know he had a dog. Yet this pretty, magically-inclined girl who had ties to the Sorcerer Supreme clealy did know he had a dog, had met the dog, and had been to his place. Suddenly, Shelly didn't feel so bad for hex-blasting Matt across the room after a misunderstanding.

"Lemme guess, this is one of those y'all need a token black woman and practitioner of voodoo so this won't look racist."

The hint of a frown creased Marlow's brow. She was missing something, but she had no idea what. "Well...yes. I didn't mean to barge in on him but his wards were weak and I blundered right in. It's all right, he's been to my cottage too. We hunting some bad magic users on the West Coast a few months ago. Look, it's not a token thing, it's a power situation. We need the best we can find to make this decision." One look at the Shelly's face and she knew she wasn't getting past whatever this woman's problem was, and it was frustrating. Then she remembered something.

"Matt's already accepted his invitation. He didn't ask for help getting there, but hopefully he'll arrive soon."

	"Matt's gonna be there?" Shelly's jaw set hard. "Fine. I'll go." He'd been in her house? Oh Matt, you've got splainin to do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-09-14 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	Ohhhh, snippy woman now. Marlow stepped back to keep out of the way. The only thing worse than a snippy woman was a snippy magic woman. "Uh, Ms. Drumm? Do you need a...ride? To England?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blackmagicwoman 2010-09-14 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Dr. Drumm. Dr. And...well, since you're here sure. Fine." This was going to be just awesome. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Dr. Drumm," Marlow repeated. Then she smiled. They were well on their way to a full council. "I'd be glad to teleport you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blackmagicwoman 2010-09-15 12:40 am UTC (link)
	Well. At least teleportation wasn't quite like transport via ways. Though that thought just irritated her because it made her think of Matt. Matt whom she'd almost... "Let's do this then. Sooner this is done, sooner I can go home." (Reply to this)(Parent)
