Magic Reserves, Wenesday Afternoon, The Preserve

When people began arriving at the meeting today, they would see that things were a bit different than usual today. For one thing, the snack table has it's usual assortment of warm beverages, but was missing the normal variety of snacks and there were a handwavey number of wooden chests piled off to the side, each one sporting a heavy iron padlock on the front.

"Greetings," Karla said, looking a bit more composed than she had at the last meeting. "We've got a fair bit to do today, so we should probably get started quickly. First, we have a talk from Tara, who was kind enough to volunteer this week," she paused to give Tara a grateful smile, "and then, we have an activity."

Merlin nodded and stepped forward. "Inside these chests is... pie." Oh, it was so spooky and magical sounding. "But, as you see, they're rather firmly locked up. So, the exercise today will be to get the contents of the box--unharmed--using whatever skills you have at your
disposal."

Mmm, pie. "Fresh-baked," Tony added. "And if you get one out, it's all yours."

Karla was really regretting that the three of them hadn't had enough time to bake the pies themselves, but hopefully J,GoB pies would be an acceptable substitute. "So, let's give Tara our attention--and a pie of her own for volunteering--and then we'll see how well your pie-retrieving skills are."

Arthur wasn't particularly saddened. He didn't come to these meetings for the food, after all. Instead, he was, as per usual, lurking and paying rapt attention.

Jonothon could get to the pie easily enough with a well-placed dose of psionic energy.

He just wasn't going to, because, for one, he didn't eat. And for another, that would involve pulling down the bandages.

Francine is very very happy that they didn't bake the pies.

No cookies, but yay, promise of pie! After being good and listening to Tara's talk, of course.

Zack looked... kinda like he'd been running for hours and hours and hours yesterday and possibly on into the wee hours of the morning even if he'd been told he could stop at midnight.

He stopped yawning when he heard that there was pie in those chests. Oooooooo. That made up for the lack of cookies at yesterday's reserves meeting!

Oh, come on! Where Zack was from, there were treasure chests everywhere. In caves, in houses, in the middle of big, otherwise empty fields! This was easy!

... Okay, so the lock made it a bit tricky, but he had that Mug materia that Yuffie had given him for his birthday, and so a good swing at the lock was really all it took anyhow. Victory!

Obtained Pie!

Meanwhile, I had a moment of staring at the 'Talk to the Leaders' OCD before cracking up because it's true, too.

Boredom and restlessness usually meant Kennedy had to go find something to do, and every now and then on Wednesdays that meant checking out the magic reserves to see if the crazy talk (sorry, magic users, that's what it still was to her) made any more sense this week.

It might, at that. Well, she'd be paying attention, at least. She wasn't Arthur, so she wasn't lurking, but she did take her semi-usual observer's spot off to one side.

Also, pie, a bonus that meant she'd be doing an extra couple of laps of the island tomorrow, but a bonus nonetheless. You know, if she could get to it. Which because someone fails at reading comprehension wasn't going to happen.

Jonothon blinked as he held out his hands to accept the chest. For him? Really?

//Yer didn't have to, luv...//

Actually, he was kind of touched that she had.

//Well... Thanks, then.// He eyed the chest for a moment more, rubbing at the back of his neck with one hand as he contemplated the lock. It would still be easy to do away with it. And it would still involve him pulling the bandages down.

And at the same time, she'd gone out of her way to include him, and it would be rude not to.

Raven was there...but for the most part being very very very quiet and avoidy-like.

Yes, this was not terribly unusual for her.

Oh, she was not going to get off the hook quite so easily.

It took Jono a few moments to find the nerve, but there he was, making his way up to her with his hands in his pockets and his eyebrows furrowed a little. Man on a mission, that Jono.

//We need to talk.//

"Hey, you," Dinah said, wandering over to grin at Zack. "When did Arthur say you could stop, yesterday?"

Raven shook her head and dropped her gaze. "I am sorry," she said, forcing the words from a tightening throat. Of everyone she'd hurt, this was the worst of all.

Dinah was pretty sure the box would break easier than the lock. But then there would be smushed pie! So just to make it a little more difficult, she settled in to use her telekinesis to pick the lock with a paperclip. La la la. Pie pie pie any minute now.

Tony was snacking on a slice of cherry pie. What? It had been damaged in the trip from town and was therefore useless for this exercise!

//It was you, then,// Jono replied, his voice more a sigh than words, at that. //I'd been wondering.//

His own toes were suddenly quite interesting, now.

//I just... why? It doesn't seem like something you'd do.//
