Magic/Support Reserves: Preserve near the Cabins, after workshops

Today, there was something missing. Something whose absence made everything about this meeting of the Magic Slash Support Reserves desperately, desperately wrong.

No, not everybody with magic powers; nobody was invisible today. This was so much worse: the table next to the leaders held NO FOOD! It held nothing but a pile of scarves, in fact.

"Now, now, nobody panic," Emmett called out, raising his hands in a slightly defensive movement just in case they were really as hungry as they looked. "The goodies are here. They're just behind us." He stepped aside to point to a spot a good hundred feet back, where another table could be spotted. "You guys did really well with helping each other out when things went kabloonkie last week, so this week, we're gonna build on that with a teamwork and communication exercise. Which I'd be the first to call lametastic under other circumstances, but guys, guys. There's cupcakes at the end of it!"

"So." He pointed to the open area of grass between the food and the group leaders. "Today? That grass is lava. There's a path through it marked out in duct tape, but you can't step off or bye-bye designer footwear which by the way I hope you didn't wear. Go to the end of the path, grab yourself a cupcake for you and one for your partner, and then make your way back! Easy like peas!"

"Well, maybe not quite that easy," Karla said, grinning a bit. "See, the reason you need a partner is because you're going to be blindfolded." One of the scarves on the table floated over to her and she held it up for them to see. "Trust and communication, remember? You're going to have to trust your partner to get you to the cupcakes, without having you step in lava, or in any of the other ingenious traps we've set about the course." The expression Karla was wearing suggested that she was looking forward to seeing them maneuver said traps.

"The easiest way to do this is via verbal communication, of course, but be creative if you can. Pair up with a telepath and have them look through your eyes or attempt to broadcast your thoughts, especially if you're unused to telepathic communication. Use magic to somehow guide your partner through--and then don't use any for yourself. Levitate someone over the lava if they're about to fall in. Be creative and go beyond your comfort zone. Nothing is against the rules, as long as you have fun."

Raven was there, dressed once more in her normal clothing. She'd kept the thigh-high boots though, and tucked them in her closet. Shhh.

I am convinced you read my post and that's where the grass is lava came from.

Because, clearly, no one else in the history of the world has had that idea by themselves.

Raven was available to be either the blindfoldee or the guide for anyone looking for a partner.

Karla was on the slightly impatient side today. Her portal was scheduled to leave around the usual time that the Reserves ended, so she could head back to Gotham and help rescue their friends. Which was all well and good, except Karla had never been particularly good at waiting.

Tim picked up a drink and looked over the course.

Don't all kids play a version of that game? I thought it was a mandatory part of growing up.

That being said, d'awww! You are always allowed to use instances of me acting silly for good or for awesome.

And was promptly assaulted by a Karla. "How you doing?" she asked, coming up beside him. "Feeling better?"

She was teasing, of course, though there was an undercurrent of concern in Tim was listening.

Kennedy wanted to look as amused as she was, and she kind of wanted to let her irrepressible inner kid out to play, but. Trying to observe how people tackled this here, so she kept most of the amusement to herself.

But why did the cupcakes have to be at the other end of the course? Man.

Tara, who had not memorized the map even though it was tempting, was around to guide or be blindfolded. She was terrified she'd step on the kittens.

Tim rolled his eyes. "I'm totally fine. Might be going light on marshmallows for a while, though."

Tara was a little apprehensive -- she kept worrying someone would want to ask her about certain things that rhymed with inblisible -- but present nonetheless.

Karla caught the eye roll and responded with a mature sticking out of her tongue. "Hopefully not forever. And since you were in Gotham when you lost, I don't think the island is going to hold it against us. If your friend hadn't interfered, do you think you could have kept going?"

"Definitely," Tim said, then added, "Well, probably."

"Well, if marshmallows are off the table, how do you feel about cupcakes?" Karla asked. "Wanna run the course? I have an interesting idea of how to guide someone!"

'Interesting' was such a fun and exciting adjective, wasn't it?

Alex helped herself to a drink and looked over the course, excited to try it out. And hopefully not fail miserably.

"Relax," Karla laughed. "Nothing bad! Just...hands. Several of them. Helping."

"Is that allowed?" Tim asked.

"Anything's allowed," Karla reminded cheerfully. "But this is especially okay since I'm not going to be touching you. Nor will anyone else," she added.
