Azure Bubbles — Roleplayer Guild

Lucian blinked at what he just heard. “A tournament?” he echoed softly. Heroes. Olympus. It sounded… kind of amazing, actually. And if Alias was heading there… That meant they still had time. He breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, So… we won’t miss him. This is great!”

Then everyone’s words hit him all at once. Lucian hesitated. He tried. Very hard. It started as a small, awkward smile, then he attempted to “look funny,” which resulted in something halfway between a confused pout and a scrunched-up nose. He held it for about two seconds before it broke completely, dissolving into a soft, slightly embarrassed laugh. “…I don’t think I’m very good at that,” he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. “But… thank you. Really.” He said, smiling for real this time. “I suppose we’ll get there. One world at a time.”

Zach laughed when Thor said he had the makings of a great hero. He rubbed the back of his neck with the hand that wasn’t holding a wand. “I don’t know about that… I feel like you might be grading on a curve tonight.”

Thor continued explaining the plan, and Zach listened, nodding along like someone who absolutely understood what was happening even though internally his brain was still stuck on the fact that he saved Christmas. When Thor mentioned Ace O’Clubs, Zach gave a thumbs up. “Hot chocolate I can do,” he said. “Hero team logistics? Still working up to that.”

Then Thor hauled Toyman out of the sleigh like it was nothing and called his hammer back to his hand. Zach watched the hammer fly through the air and land perfectly in Thor’s grip. “…I’m never getting over how cool that is,” he muttered. Zach watched as Thor took off in Santa’s sleigh through a portal. “Ok… I feel like my life has just got a lot crazier.”

His phone buzzed in his pocket. Zach frowned. “What now? I hope it’s not my parents freaking out about where I am…” He pulled the phone out.

 Your casting is sloppy.Unknown Number

Zach blinked. “…Excuse me?”

But improvising illusion magic under pressure like that was impressive…Unknown Number

Zach stared at the screen, then quickly typed back.

Okay who is this and how were you watching that?Zach Z.

Because magic leaves fingerprints, and yours are very loud.Unknown Number

Zach felt a little chill that had nothing to do with the snow.

Another message appeared.

We should talk before you accidentally summon something dangerous.unknown number

There was a pause. Then the final message came through.

Zatanna Zataraunknown number

Zach froze. “…Oh.” He knew that name. What self respecting magician wouldn’t? Giovanni Zatara’s daughter, celebrity magician in her own right, actual sorceress. Now here she was casually texting about his magic use. He slowly lowered the phone and looked up at the sky where Thor had disappeared. “…Cool cool cool.” He paused to process all this. “…Tonight I helped save Christmas.” He held up the phone. “…And now apparently I’m being evaluated by my famous cousin.” He sighed. “…I should probably go get that hot chocolate.”
