Issue 1 Downtime

Upon hearing the news the teams were back, Raven was busying herself in the quad, setting up what looked like a glorified lemonade stand, filled with bottles with various colors of liquid in them!

((open))

Posted: **Tue Nov 29, 2011 4:46 pm**

Meanwhile Kim was buzzing around, trying to get people to look at the stand because Raven's potions, like, totes work for real!

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:30 pm**

"This is going to work out, like, primo."

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:40 pm**

"You need to, like, give away some samples or something to show they work 'cause everyone's all 'This is silly'." she haughtily mocks the unbelievers.

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:41 pm**

Indeed, a blonde-haired girl was raising a skeptical eyebrow at their table even then.

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:46 pm**

"It totally isn't th...oh! A person! Hello person!"

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:53 pm**

"Is this... like... some sort of viral marketing? Are you promoting something on the telly?"

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:55 pm**

"The telly?" Raven said, lost. "I don't know what this is, but no viruses here! This is, like, ANTI-viruses! Like, the opposite and stuff!"

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:57 pm**

Cal, meanwhile, had walked up and was looking things over skeptically. HAL, do I have Valley girl translation?

Code: Select all: Like, what?

I hate you.

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 6:04 pm**

"Hey there, Calvin." She said, before looking back to the girl.

"Well I'm not really sure if I'm into health food."

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 6:04 pm**

"Hey, those are some funky glasses! You checking out the stand? She has potions for, like, everything! You totally need to go take a look, it's, like, totally amazing!" Kim bounces up to Cal who made the mistake of looking remotely interested.

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 6:15 pm**

"All right," Cal said, "I'll bite. What do you have?"

As he spoke, five tiny robots scaled the legs of the table to get a closer look at the wares.

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 6:24 pm**

"OHMIGAWD those are so cute!" Raven said, distracted intensely by the little robots.

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 6:35 pm**

And, as usual, cellphones in the vicinity began beeping.

Excited statement: We're pretty!
Correction: Californian-descended female is pretty
Excited ammendment: We're all pretty
Tactical assessment: Subject classification: 'witch.' Recommendation: Apply water.
Query: Is this unit still invisible?

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 6:50 pm**

"They. Are. Adorable. Gnarly!

Anyway, you were saying?" she said, totally lost.

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 6:57 pm**

"Potions. Yours. Selling." Kim stage-whispers.

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 7:17 pm**

"Yeah," Cal said, looking at a bottle on one side of the table. "What've you got?"

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 7:40 pm**

"Oh! Right!

From the deepest depths of the dustiest tomes, I have restoratives! Protectorates! Oils and remedies! Secrets lost to science!

I also do incense and candles."

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 7:42 pm**

Cal seemed, if anything, amused. "All right. So what are your hot sellers? What should I buy?"

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 7:45 pm**

"Ooookay. Weirder than health food, then."

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 7:57 pm**

"Oh, it's all natural ingredients," she said, nodding to Janice.

"It depends!" she said, to Calvin. "But, I was FIGURING, right? Since all those people are, like, coming back and stuff? They might need some, like, energy! Or some things to help sooth their chakras! But I can make all KINDS of things."

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:02 pm**

"Oh, definitely. I mean, those are all different colors, at least."

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:03 pm**

"Okay, then what does this one do?" Cal asked, picking up a green bottle at the end.

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:12 pm**

"That? That's the...

DROUGHT OF LIVING DEATH..." she said, in a spooky voice (or, well, something approximating one).

"It's a sleep aid!"

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:14 pm**

Cal gave her a look as he looked at the bottle. I'm a robot at Hogwarts now. "Can I open it to take a look?" he asked.

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:18 pm**

"I think you need to work on what you name these..."

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:20 pm**

"Go right ahead! But if you drink it, you've bought it!"

"Oh, I am not the one who named them. It's been, like, totally passed down from time immemorial and stuff."

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:22 pm**

"See, I would have gone with 'Tension Tamer Tea.'"

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:23 pm**

"I know I sure don't remember anything earlier than the late nineties," Cal deadpanned as he opened the bottle, pouring a tiny drop onto his cyber-finger. HAL? Check toxicity, please.

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:30 pm**

It certainly wasn't toxic; it'd hardly be passed from time immemorial if it was!

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:32 pm**

"Don't tell me you're actually going to drink that, Cal."

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:41 pm**

"Since I don't have trouble sleeping? No. What else do you have?"

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:42 pm**

"Was there something in particular you were looking for? Something, like, you're totally having troubles with? Like, some inner spiritual turmoil perhaps? Feelings of cosmic and like mystical unease? Bad acne?"

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:44 pm**

"Ooh. Which bottle's 'Angst Away?'"

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:49 pm**

"Oooh, that depends. What's the angst over?" she asked, eagerly.

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:51 pm**

Janice pondered for a moment, and eventually decided it didn't matter if it was real angst.

"The incessant torments of invisible, malicious gnomes."

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:53 pm**

Cal nodded. "They steal her underwear."

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:58 pm**

"They do? Wow, really?" she said, excited. "A potion could work of course, but THAT sounds like a job for some smudges! Or some incense!"

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:58 pm**

"Well maybe I don't want to stop them from stealing my underwear, but I just don't want to stress over it?"

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:59 pm**

"Yeah, going commando suits her, long as she isn't worried about what her mom will think," Cal put in 'helpfully'.
