What he hadn't known was how it worked and how versatile it was. He'd expected it to be a prison for demons or some other sort of thing that went bump in the night. There was a pang of pain in his heart as emptiness settled in for a moment while he looked at the golden device in Pixie's hands. He'd wanted to try and use it to lock up the eldritch horror that had attacked the coven. But as it tended to happen, when he needed his magic the most it failed him. He couldn't grab the Acheron in time, countless mages lay dead at his feet and as usual he needed to find another way. Luckily for those who survived he had found a way, unknowingly offering a piece of his soul in order to weird a staff that banished the awful creature. Max walked over towards her, plucking the magical artifact out of her hands and inspecting it for a moment before offering her a wide childish grin. [Color=aba400]"What can I say? I have some [i]Strange[/i] friends. Kinda happens after you've had a multiversal trip with them to help reshape reality."[/color] He placed the device on the bookshelf behind his pillow, hiding it from plain sight. Had anything been written about having a plus one, Max wouldn't have hesitated to bring Pixie to the party. Surely she'd enjoy it, and he'd get to introduce two of his favorite casters to each other. Once Veil and Callie had left his room, his shoulders slumped a bit as he let out a small breath. [Color=aba400]"I'll see what I can do for you Marrow. As for a new location. Pixie, know any locations that would be good for this? I didn't want to say anything in front of Veil or Callie but I'm grasping at straws here. This is uncharted territory and while I've got a great lead on what to do I could use all the help I can get up until the actual ritual. You two seem skeptical enough, and Pixie knows magic it's in her blood. So…any idea Pix?"[/color] Max said as he began helping Harry to pick up around the room. He hadn't planned for them to do the ritual in his room, but if they were going to he'd at least need to clean up a bit before then. As he grabbed food and items off the floor, Max made a passive wave of his hand, the cosmic magic flowing through him and swirling at Marrow's feet to make the best bowl of bone marrow stew she'd ever had.

Noticing that only Callie had left with his sister on the hunt for James and Casper. A part of him wondered if the telepaths on the island would be able to help them. Maybe they could ask them telepathically and see if they can scan the island for a location to at least narrow the search down to one place or even notify the two that they were being looked for. He watched as Max began to pick up the food that was placed on the floor, a slight eye roll coming over him. [Color=E610B8]"I'm a little afraid to ask but, why [i]do[/i] you have so much stale McDonald's on the floor? Hardly any seems to be touched so clearly you're not eating it."[/color] Harry had asked. It seemed to be one of the many Elephants in the room that no one else was questioning. Max turned to look at Harry, an awkward smile on his face. [Color=aba400]"Oh. Um. Had a bit of a seance earlier today using a spirit box. Offering the spirits food, even McDonald's, helps with it a lot to make the connection more tangible. It's how I was able to talk to Ben without Casper."[/color] Harry stared at Max in odd amazement at the ridiculous string of words he'd just said. [Color=E610B8]"Oh good. So you got consent before robbing a grave."[/color]
