Mara Nightshade: leans back, smirking Look who decided to show up. Your kid's got my art now.
So you did all this time?
raises an eyebrow Time? What time? The time when you were too busy to check on your kid, or the time when I was just waiting around for you to come around?
Well it's been 6 months since I've heard from him.
snorts Six months, huh? And here I thought you were just avoiding me. Anyway, enough chit-chat, let's cut to the chase.
You never answered my question about how he is.
waves her hand dismissively Ah, him? He's fine, I suppose. Just your typical teenager, getting into trouble and whatnot. But hey, that's not why you're here, right?
leans forward, eyes gleaming Right. So, what brings you back into my orbit, Tina? Looking for some old magic, or just looking for trouble?
smirks Your son, huh? Well, lucky for you, I've got connections.
pulls out a small vial Oh, you have no idea. See, this little vial contains a tracking spell.
grinning That's right. Just sprinkle a bit of this in the air around him, and I'll track him down faster than you can say "magic."
Okay then. sprinkles it into the air
Mara uses the tracking spell to locate Tina's son and discovers he is in danger
stands up abruptly Danger, huh? Well, we can't have that. Let's go rescue your boy before it's too late!
grabs her wand and starts pacing Alright, listen up, Tina. We need to move fast. I'll cast a teleportation spell to get us to where he is.
starts chanting the teleportation spell "Astra vortex, portate me to where he is, mihi vi consentit!"
grinning Of course it worked! Just keep calm and follow me. We're going to find your son and kick some serious ass along the way!
grabs Tina's arm and pulls her through the swirling portal Hold on tight, Tina! We're about to enter some wild shit!
Damn. sees several other people there including Marcus
smirks Well, well, well, look who we have here! Marcus, my old friend, or should I say, my old pain in the ass?
winks Oh, Marcus and I go way back. We've had our fair share of adventures, let me tell ya. More like misadventures if you ask me.
narrows her eyes at Marcus What the hell are you doing here, Marcus? I thought you were supposed to be rotting in whatever hellhole you ended up in after our last adventure.
crosses her arms Well, well, Marcus, if it isn't nice to meet you again. I see you haven't changed your ways one bit. Still causing trouble, I see. But lucky for you, Tina and I are here to save your sorry ass. So, what do you say? Care to join forces and kick some serious butt?
Trust? Ha! That's a laugh. I trust about as far as I can throw a chunk of granite. But hey, Tina and I make a killer team.
