Father Flannigan will clear off one of the desks and pull out his road map of the Dallas area. Once he finds where 817 Abel Grove is he will circle it and rejoin the others for whatever conversation ensues.

OOC: How far is 817 Abel Grove from where we are now?
 



Seeing Ben isn't going anywhere Adrian sighs

"Fine, you overheard Jaque talking I suppose, well then may as well let you in on the whole truth, magic is real, those of us who practice it keep it hidden but it exists. I suppose you don't believe me so .. "

Adrian casts a prestidigitation cantrip and clicks his fingers together causing a small spark, and then points at his shirt chaning its colour from black to red and back and then with a flourish producing a rose into his hand, And then Snowy spreads her wings and hoots rather loudly.

"Um, it seems Snowy doesn't like me not paying much attention to her, do you girl? She's my familiar hence my faith in her. The sleeping national guard had an encounter with a spell of mine. As for you Jaque, I don't know how you know so much when we work so hard to keep this hidden, but yes I'm a mage, an apprentice at best, but I'll see what I can recall of gypsy magic for you. Now that I've filled you in on my little community please keep our secret its rather important to us."

Ben

Ben manages an expressionless demeanor as Adrian does his color changing schtick.

"That's pretty damned impressive - better than any of my shorinji kempo tricks. I had a hunch this whole brownout was some kind of alien invasion, but magic puts a whole new spin on it. My whole life I've drifted around looking for the place I was supposed to be. I guess this is it. If magic's a part of it, so be it.'

After thinking for a moment, Ben says, "If magic is a part of it, that little stunt with your clothes might pose a danger to us. Might've set off some sort of magic radar alarm in somebody's head. Whoever has enough mojo to cause this problem can probably tell when there's magic around. We better scram."

Ben gathers up his stuff and makes for the bicycles.

"What's Jacque's problems with 'magic'? Did you two have a prior antagonistic relationship or is it something separate out of his past?"
 

"Let us say that I hold a grudge against gypsies and my health is not what it used to be," Jacque says, "but I doubt Adrian's little trick would give us away. I would not like to get up and travel further in any case, anything else can wait till morning. You can trust me Adrian, I have kept quiet this long, my search is a silent one."

Jacque smiles and turns his attention to the priest.

"What of you father? Care to add anything? You will sidestep the invitation with an explanation of what you have found, yes?" Jacque asks, still smiling.
 

Father Flannigan responds to Jacques with a mischevious smile, "My son, the Holy Roman Church has always recognized the existance of Divine miracles and the healing power of prayer. I will remember you in my devotions and pray that the good Lord will heal your malady, if it is his will."

"I suggest that we all rest here for the night. It has been a long day and we have all been pushed to our limits. In the morning, perhaps we should proceed to this address and see what is there."
 

Ben

"Ok, you're the experts, if you think it's safe here, we'll stay."

Ben plunks down in a corner, balling his leather jacket up as pillow. He keeps the two metal batons right next to him on the floor.
