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.

The shuffling and rummaging around the kitchen did make it to his open door and wake him though. Rubbing his eyes of sleep, Martin got up, of course took his hat with him, and padded his way towards the source of the noise.

"What are we looking for?" He yawned at finding Marlow searching the kitchen. Of course it was now a 'we', no way he wasn't going to be involved in what looked like a search here.

	She offered Martin a weak smile. "Sorry. I was hungry and looking for snacks. Which I think we finished during the movies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"S'okay," he responded with a sleepy smile. "Are we really all out of snacks?" He leaned to peek over her shoulder and check for himself. Oh dear, they seemed to be, what to do? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We could go to the main house but I don't like waking up the cooks," she said as she peered in again with him. "They work hard. But you know what would really taste good right now? Corey's chicken. I wonder if he has any in the refrigerator." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's a good idea! We should go check for some!" Because now that he was awake, his stomach was also complaining about the lack of food going into it. Besides, he had his hat in hand, that was dressed enough for adventures as far as he was concerned, sleeping clothes would do as long as he had the hat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The more she thought about it, the better it sounded. Chicken would hit the spot and Corey was a great cook. "I don't think he'll mind if we peek in his fridge. We just have to be really quiet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're very sneaky," he nods. "We'll even put a cloaking spell too!" That that made it more likely you'd knock things over given you didn't know where your limbs were, or that the cloaking spell didn't mask sound obviously hadn't factored into the equation yet. But no matter, there was good chicken at stake! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A cloaking spell sounded like just the thing to keep from scaring the Champions. The only person that might sense a lot of strange magic in use would be Nick and they didn't have any bad intentions. It would be just Nick and not the other guy inside him. "I'll take us there and you cloak us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Martin grinned and gave her a thumbs up. "Deal! I bet there's great food there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2013-03-10 02:32 am UTC (link)
	She grinned back and straightened. The kittens were asleep in their basket, the bungalow was secure, and Martin had his hat. They were ready to go! And then they were in the Champions' kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-03-10 02:38 am UTC (link)
	Martin already had the cloaking spell ready to cast and does so the minute they're in the Champions' kitchen. Oh, I think they have a kitten too! Look there's a bowl. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2013-03-10 02:48 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe he'll come out to see us before we leave. Because cats were so smart that way, seeing through cloaking spells and all. She reached for the fridge door handle and smacked her hand into it. "Ow!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-03-10 03:03 pm UTC (link)
	That'd be nice of him! Martin cringes slightly at Marlow's hand smacking into the fridge, and can't see where his feet are so nearly trips over the cat's bowl. Being sneaky is hard! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2013-03-10 03:25 pm UTC (link)
	It hurts too! She shook it out because that's what Svalin would do. Svalin wouldn't have said ow in the first place, but Marlow was still working on it. Careful! Maybe we should let the cloaking spell go until we see what's in the fridge? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-03-10 03:32 pm UTC (link)
	That's a good idea! They're all asleep anyways. Martin nods invisibly then removes the cloaking spell so they can actually see their limbs for once. It'll be easier to eat this way too! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eric flies into the room looking to get a late night snack before going back to do some late night studying for a mid-term he still though he had no chance of passing. "Who are you guys," Eric asks the people he didn't recognize in the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2013-03-11 01:06 am UTC (link)
	Oh darn, they'd dropped the cloaking spell too soon! "Uh, hi! I'm Marlow." She tried to look as non threatening as possible and put her hands behind her back. In her mind's eye she was a force to be reckoned with. In reality, she looked like the next door neighbor's kid sister. "This is my brother Martin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Darn, they'd been so sneaky up till this point too!

Martin gave a friendly smile and a tip of his hat. He looked even younger than Marlow and the combination of pyjama pants, a too large shirt borrowed from Orlen along with the fancy hat and gloves didn't exactly serve to give a very threatening impression. Which was good this time. "Hello! We're looking for chicken."

	Yeah this definitely was odd. "Sorry but those names don't really mean much to me," Eric says landing on the ground, "So why exactly are you here looking for chicken?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2013-03-11 01:27 am UTC (link)
	"Corey made chicken for me once and it was really good," Marlow explained. "When I was looking for Argo. Corey also found out that Nick is my cousin. Does that help?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-03-11 01:33 am UTC (link)
	"Because we're hungry," Martin replies matter-of-factly. "Do you know if there's chicken?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warbird 2013-03-11 01:38 am UTC (link)
	"Ah ok then," Eric says. If they knew all of those people than this can really be a problem. "No really sure," Eric admits, "Was going to check the fridge to see what we had myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2013-03-11 01:44 am UTC (link)
	Marlow stood back to let him at the fridge. It was /his/ after all. "Corey's a really good cook. We have professional chefs back home on the Defenders compound, and his chicken is so much better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-03-11 01:53 am UTC (link)
	Martin followed Marlow's lead and let Eric get to the fridge. Maybe they'd get chicken out of this. "So who are you mister?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warbird 2013-03-11 01:57 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," Eric says he walking over to the fridge and looks inside to see what's in there. "I'm Eric." A lot of food choices to be made. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
