Midnight Munchies (The Family Version)
In the Life According to Wong, young sorcerers are known for two things. Misbehaving magic and the inability to stay full for very long.

Correction - three things. The worst timing and problems with boundaries of all sorts.

All right, so that's four. Young sorcerers weren't big on logic.

It was the second reason that had Marlow up in the middle of the night checking her tiny kitchen for chocolate or pretzels, or even kale chips if it stopped her stomach from rumbling. She tried to be quiet so she wouldn't disturb Martin in the guest room. It looked like they'd managed to clean everything out of the cupboards during their movie marathon.

"Oh. Well that's obvious. And I'd come help you too if you needed!"

"I met her at that end of the world thing. Never tried her portals though because I can teleport myself, but they seemed very good, and very stable, from what I saw." At the mention of Nick, Martin pipes up and grins over at Marlow. "Maybe we can invite him on an adventure so he can see that family is fun? Oh and yes, do you have a cat too? Marlow has kittens, we're putting spells on their collars."

	"Yeah family can be tough sometimes," Eric says. Lord knows his mom could be a little overbearing sometimes. "But Nick is a little strange like that." "Yeah we've got a cat," Eric says, "Why? You're not going to spell her collar are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That wouldn't be right," Marlow told him solemnly. "You don't spell another person's pet unless the pet is in trouble and you need to help it. We have a tiger so my kittens need spells on their collars to keep them from getting hurt and getting too far away from my bungalow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-03-17 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	Martin nods in agreement with Marlow. "It's a pretty nice tiger though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How did you guys get the tiger," Eric asks excited and curious. "And that spell stuff makes sense." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2013-03-18 12:08 am UTC (link)
	"It's a pet for one of the Asgardians. We have dogs and horses too. Svalin's horse has wings. They all behave, but animals are animals. You can't expect them to be human." Her jumbled logic gave her an earnest expression. "Or close to human. The Champions only have one cat?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-03-18 12:20 am UTC (link)
	"I have a purple guinea pig who used to be a sort of bad guy but not human...like an engineered one. That exploded when it got hit too hard. But now he's either really nice or really aggressive, he can't decide." That explanation of course made little sense and wasn't the best but hey, crazy world they lived in. "Is it a nice cat?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warbird 2013-03-18 12:36 am UTC (link)
	"Cool. My mom never let me have a pet. So we just have the one cat here. Yeah YC very nice still a cat though. Sister's boyfriend has a really cool dog he's big and surprisingly smart." He had heard stories about him stealing ice cream from the fridge late at night. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow jumped at the chance to make somebody as happy as she was when she opened the basket of kittens on Christmas morning. "Would you like a pet? We can get you one. What kind would you like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-03-18 12:44 am UTC (link)
	Martin perked up at that. Pet hunts? That sounded fun. "We can get lots of things. We're better than those genies, they're limited and have to stay in lamps." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warbird 2013-03-18 12:52 am UTC (link)
	Eric's mind raced through some possibilities with that. "Well I probably should ask the others what they would be OK with." He definitely wanted something big he could play with. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2013-03-18 01:03 am UTC (link)
	"You better ask the cat," Marlow told him with a nod. As if the cat's opinion was the only one to really consider. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-03-18 01:05 am UTC (link)
	"That's true, cats are smart and maybe it doesn't want to share space," Martin nodded sagely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warbird 2013-03-18 01:24 am UTC (link)
	Eric just stares at them. "Do you both speak cat or something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2013-03-18 01:26 am UTC (link)
	Marlow blinked at him. "That would be pretty weird." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well you are talking about cat opinions on things and magic can do a lot of crazy thing," Eric says with a shrug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"People say their animals are part of their families. It wouldn't be fair to bring another pet in if they don't get along. Maybe your cat is a happy one and won't mind having a new animal friend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So can powers, some people have really specific ones," Martin nods. "I'd like to meet the cat though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"True worth figuring out how YC might react," Eric says, "And I have no idea where YC is right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2013-03-18 02:25 am UTC (link)
	"That's okay! Next time we'll bring cat treats and ice cream. And mead! As a thank you for the snack. It's really nice of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-03-18 04:33 am UTC (link)
	"What's YC stand for?" Martin has to ask before they leave. "And yes, we'll bring cat treats especially!" Because he had no idea what mead was like and if they had ice cream they might not have come in the first place. "Thank you Mr. Eric for the chicken," Martin adds and tips his hat to the guy out of politeness. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warbird 2013-03-19 05:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Cool that would be really nice of you," Eric says, "And YC stands for Yankee Clipper." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2013-03-20 01:28 pm UTC (link)
	The name's historical reference meant nothing to a sorcerer educated in the Dark Dimension. "Cat treats. And mead. Asgardian mead is really good." She offered her hand to Eric. "It was really nice to meet you. Please tell Corey I'm sorry he wasn't awake too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Right over Martin's head too. All he notes is that it's an odd but interesting name.

Unable to safely shake Eric's hand, he takes off his hat to the guy. "Nice to meet you Mr." Before they teleport out he has to turn to Marlow and whisper his question. "If it's good can I try the mead? I've never had any." Okay, he actually had zero idea what mead was other than made to consume, but Marlow said it was good so he should at least try he figured.
