Fast Fade....

Andrea, catching the sight of this, decides that things appear to be getting out of hand (a beginning of acrowd seems to be forming). This area of town is the more well to do part of town and as such scenes of public domestic disputes, such as the slapping that Freddi had done and the shouting by Tony afterwards (a slight oversight by him....seeing that he was more used to cultures less adverse to couples venting their spleens in public) was unusual enough to attract attention in the first place. Not to say that....er....domestic violence didn't happen in the upper social castes of this world. Rather, by social custom it's more.....discrete due to social customs. Anyway, heads had been turned by the unseemly dispute outside in the street before, and the arrival of the others out of thin air didn't help matters at all! What we had here was an awkward situation growing more so by the moment.

With a twitch of annoyance shown by her fox ears she cast the first of two spells.

Blind sided by both the fact the spell hits him from behind AND the fact that Tony still believes he's dealing with this world's denizens (who's magical knowledge only extends to unbelieved fairy tale and silly fantasy novels). Basically, he falls to the ground and proceeds to snore in a loud....sloppy manner. A reek of cheap alcohol comes from the sleeping man.

The second spell causes the party members who are still standing to vanish from casual sight. Those who witness the disappearance shake their heads violently, not believing it. To a person, they then proceed to talk themselves out of what they'd just seen. Isn't like magic really exists, right? Don't want to be thrown into the booby hatch and it had been a trying and long day anyway, they reason to themselves, so they fail to mention Freddi and the others who vanished to the police officers who arrive and arrest the drunken Tony for disturbing the peace.

One woman in particular also fails to mention a word she heard from off to the side.

1. It sounded like "Kewlll!" It sounds like the speaker is a young sounding woman.....sort of. See, there was an unearthly.....undertone to that word. Nothing menacing.....just unearthly seeming.....
