"Well, best not to keep them waiting."

*Sierra yawns and closes her eyes, concentrating, as the diamond-set bracelet on her wrist sparkles. And in the blink of an eye. They are in California...and then Hawaii...and then Tokyo.*

(OOC: Shall we go to the other thread?)

"Vhy does zhis..."

"... feel so very..."

"... wrong?! Oh, ve're here already...."

OOC: Answer: It doesn't, really, it's just psychosomatic. Though if he knew Sierra's powers were magical/divine -- right now he thinks she's just an attractive mutant with illusion-generating powers and teleportation via spatial manipulation -- he'd feel even worse

(OOC: While I can imagine the Doctor might sometimes come across 'magic heroes' who were angry with him for trying to explain their powers away as 'mutant powers', Sierra is amused by the ingenuity of the theory and by his ignorance, and she's perfectly happy to let him keep thinking that. Of course, in the M&M world, the theory is quantifiably false, since if the Doctor invents a Device that can Nullify all powers with the [Mutant] descriptor, it won't work on her, but that's okay--it's fun to roleplay )

OOC: Just don't let him catch you calling him 'ignorant'

I do have to wonder, though -- is Sierra supposed to be the real Circe? If so... why's she with the Resolutes? And how'd she get Eris' apple?

(OOC: Well of course--she's too prudent to do that; she likes to get along. But to Sierra, it's the ones who think they're smart who are cutest when they're actually ignorant )

The silence in the ready room is broken as the door opens slowly. The newcomer enters and looks up with some degree of disdain as the speaker above the door announces his name to the empty room. "The Amazing Mr Jones."

The stage magician is dressed in a Resolutes’ uniform, the one piece making a somewhat incongruous picture when combined with his long black cloak and tall opera hat. Behind him trundles a large suitcase on rollers, obviously very heavy, which Mr Jones manoeuvres across the carpet towards a small table in the corner before opening.

Reaching into the bag Mr Jones pulls out a large pile of books which he stacks haphazardly on the coffee table. Modern hardbacks with brightly coloured jackets and titles like Stagecraft and Advanced Magic are intermingled with older leather bound journals. Copies of Magical Rope Ties and Escapes and A Magician Among the Spirits are among the older books which he treats with special care.

Finally once all the books are arrayed Mr Jones somehow manages pull out an old fashioned Singer sewing machine complete with treadle mechanism from his suitcase. He proceeds to set this up before settling into an armchair and a book.
