fandomhighdorms | Magic Reserves, Wednesday Afternoon, Preserve Near The Cabins

Today's selection of goodies from J, GoB did not include anything gooey (sorry, jelly-doughnut lovers!) The leaders of the Magic Reserve looked somewhat weary but everyone was in one piece with no bits gnawed or clawed off, so you could probably figure they came out of the weekend okay.

"Hey, everyone," Tony said. "We had a big attack this weekend, so we'll do the usual debriefing. How'd you fight these things? How'd you figure out their weaknesses? What worked? What didn't? What would you do differently next time?"

"Are there ways we can be more efficient?" Karla asked, after polishing off another donut. Look, she was hungry, okay? "Ways we can coordinate better? Get word out quicker? Any ideas about how to handle an enemy that uses similar tactics in the future?"

After the discussion, Tony spoke up again. "We're going to do a little trust-building exercise today, since we need to know we can rely on each other under fire. Trust falls. It's pretty simple. Pick a partner, face away from them and when they're ready, let yourself fall back, trusting them to catch you," he said. "Try to partner with someone you don't know very well," he suggested. "We're pretty good with trusting our friends, so let's branch out a little."

[OCD up!]

"You're not going alone," Dinah said in a very definite tone. "And what do they want you to do for this?"

"Be a focus for their ritual," Raven said. "They have tried before to stop Trigon, but failed. They believe that because I am bound to him by blood, it will focus their power and enable them to finally succeed. And I intend to tell them I must bring others with me. Would you accompany me?"

[sleeeeeeeep well! SP is <3!]

"Yes," Dinah said, then paused, and added a little more cautiously, "If they're okay with me bringing weapons besides myself. This sounds majorly huge, and if it goes wrong, I want to be prepared. And if they don't agree to that, you shouldn't go."

"Thank you," Raven said, pleased. "Professor Skywalker has said he will come with me as well. I know I will feel safer with those I know and trust with me. And I do not think they will begrudge me companions or their weapons if they are sincere about wishing to stop my father. They are not of Azarath, so they do not share my home's abhorrence of weaponry."

"Cool. Well, Tony and all of us stopped demons in his homeworld-- it has to be possible, right?" Never mind Raven's nightmares of her father, which hinted it would take a heckuva lot to do that. Leaving her to do this alone? Not an option.

"If all goes well, we will never see him," Raven said. "He will be unable to open a gateway to this dimension." And what were the chances of that?
