"Is that crazy witch gone? Sheesh! Talk about paranoid. Well, I guess I might be a little paranoid too if I had those things chasing me. I really don't need this, today of all days. I mean, here I am talking to a wizard from outer space, and you seem like the normal one! No offense. So what do we do now?" Marion's question seems rhetotical as much as anything, as she stares at her unfinished painting.

Magitek simply shrugged his broad shoulders, then exited to the roof top. "Charlene!" he said relieved, after finding his strange, four-barreled shotgun propped up exactly against the wall near the plant vase with the ceramic turtle, where Namorita had informed him it would be. The aquatic heroine was nowhere to be found and the sky was a brighter blue now, the air still and warm; everything took on the orangey hue that comes with dawn. Marion scratched her head as she watched the tech-mage meticulously re-wrap the weapon in its original bundle of cloth recovered at the beach just before they left. With the warm morning sun now out, and common folk on the move and beginning their day, the frightful images of the strange morning now seemed dreamlike. The significance of the day returned to Marion: six years ago today she lost her father forever, and her mother to permanent residence in a nursing home from a near-fatal gunshot wound. It was a painful annual milestone which slowly got numbed with time, but never truly went away. Marion planned to visit her mom later and take her flowers like she always did on this somber anniversary; but for now she needed to work. "Marion, thank you again for your earlier intervention. As out of hand as things got, the situation could've been worse," Magitek says patting the now-concealed weapon slung over his shoulder. "If I may bother you for a few cubes of ice in a small plastic baggy, I'll be on my way," Magitek said with conviction, his one free hand lightly touching a decent-sized red knot in the middle of his forehead where a beer bottle projectile had left its mark. ooc: NPCing the tech-mage; not sure if we lost Tig

"Ice? Oh, right, your head." Marion steps out quickly to get said ice, calling behind her. "You never said who you were looking for. Do I need to be worried that more weirdness is yet to come?" Marion tries to make light of the morning's events, but even she doesn't find much humor in it. She hands Magitek the bag of ice. "Well, I guess you should probably try to forget you ever met me." She sits down in front of her work in progress, wondering how she'll be able to concentrate on what she's supposed to be doing.

Magitek takes the ice from Marion & places it on his head. His whole body feels like he was hit by a train but he doubted she has enough ice for him to lay in a tub with so just says" Thank you." He ponders if he should share anything too personal with Marion but he feels she may be the only person in this town he can trust at the moment." I'm looking for a friend, my fiancee's cousin her name is Ruthie Fields, I know she lives in this area and I really need to find her. As for your well being, I bring you no harm."

Marion takes a deep sigh. "You know what? Screw it, I can finish my work later. Let's try to find this Ruthie you're looking for. Maybe she's in the phone book." Marion fishes around in her coat pockets for her phone. "What was her name again? Ruthie Fields?" She calls information to look for a local number or address. "By the way," she says to Magitek, "the wings… well, it's kind of… nobody knows about that…"
