"How are you doing that?" Viridian asks Hope curiously.

"I can tell it's magical, but you're not casting any spells..."

 

[Victim]

"Can you set up the link in advance?" Megan asks Viridian. "We could have an escape already setup, or reinforcements waiting in a safe location so if someone can't pull off the disguise, they can still help in an emergency."

"My powers are probably more detectable than average - elevated heartrate, body temperature, etc wouldn't be difficult to find. Those aren't especially dangerous seeming though."

She's somewhat distressed at the fashions required for their disguises. "I'm not really comfortable wearing those kinds of clothes. If we have to fight, mini-skirts aren't what I'd call ideal for flying. Can't technical people wear more casual clothes?"

"Don't worry, mini-skirts are only for the nubile secretary types. I think that all of us could pass with normal business attire." Hope remarked.

 

[Shayuri]

"Mmmm...not REALLY," Viridian muses. "Time's part of the formula. When I do the markings, I have to align the doors in space and time, at the moment of the opening. I could do the markings, open the doors and leave them open, I guess...but if anyone came along and closed it, I'd have to start over. Or..." she thinks. "I suppose it'd be possible to set it up to link at a moment in the future, but we'd have to be there right on time, or I'd have to start over."

She shrugs. "Plus, that's a new version of the spell. Couldn't promise it'd work the first time I tried it."

"Anyway, I -have- been working on a variation of my costume magic that'll let me create more...flexible looks. I might be able to use it for a disguise once I'm inside."

(go go Exp Spendy! )

 

[Victim]

"Okay, too bad. Having time as a variable makes sense," Megan muses out loud. New tricks and variations? So fast. "Wait, so the worst that happens if you screw up the experimental version is that it doesn't work?"

"Some of us might be a bit young for business attire. On the other hand, Optic is young for his position, so relatively youthful employees makes some sense too."

"I can call Melina" (Nitro's girlfriend and former manager of his wrestling team) "if we need input on clothes. Our team outfits on MNM were her specialty"

No way in hell am I getting into anything resembling tights. Hope thought to herself. I became a Fed so I could do my part without having to resort to masks.

She knew a part of the reason why she went for a badge instead of a cape was that she didn't really know herself, where she came from, who she was. Every time she tried to remember, tried to get past waking up in a hospital with strange adults hovering over her, she couldn't. All there was was darkness, a blank wall that she couldn't climb or burrow under. She shook her head, for someone who couldn't forget anything, this was troubling. Was it a spell? Or just her own subconscious blocking something too horrible to even remember?

"How are you doing that?" Viridian asks Hope curiously.

"I can tell it's magical, but you're not casting any spells..."

"I'm not exactly sure myself. I guess the term 'will makes your reality' applies here. Ms. White might have better answers than me, truth be told, I'm only about four years out of apprenticehood myself." she grinned wolfishly at the young witch. "What I told Faust about 'children and prey' applied as much to you guys as to me,"

She shrugged. "If you want to analyze it, you can. I really don't know how I do it." she said quite honestly as the shard of ice twisted into an infinity symbol, a common symbol in magic and other fields. The air swirled around it, as she let the ice sculpture go and it hovered in front of them, she was really just letting both Ms. White and Viridian analyze what she was doing. She slowly let it drop into a nearby ornamental dish.

"In any case. Back to the problem at hand. So. We tell them we want a cloaked spy satelite. Once we get in, Optic will 'jack' into their system while we draw fire away from him if they notice. Hopefully, they won't and we can do this quietly." she smiled again at Nitro. "You're not getting me into anything resembling tights or skinsuits."

"As far as disguises go, I'm going to have to rely on good old fashioned mundane ones. We really don't have the time for me to set up a ritual glammor."

Ms. White says "So are you ready to go? We've arranged for you to take one of our planes to a private airport outside Zurich, and booked a hotel suite. Once settled in you can go meet the Foundry guy. The longer we wait, the more likely it is that Barrington's order is completed."

 

[Shayuri]

Viridian looks like she wants to say something else to Hope, but White's speech snaps her out of it. She nods.

"I'm ready."
