"I...oh!" Orrin blinked in surprise. They had been so busy, and he hadn't even given a single thought to his own looks. He could see his outfit (kind of), and his hands. His hair seemed white, still, at least that he could see. He dug in his pocket, looking around for a mirror.
"What could it be? Heterochromia? Freckles? I don't think I've ever had the joy of freckles, even after sunbathing..."
Stella wandered downstairs, finding the down-trodden shadow user deep in thought at the bar, Sosol seeming to offer a crash course to the Japanese tea mistress. He looks healthy enough, she thought, and yet...
She took a seat next to him, glancing over with her bright blue eyes. "I'm guessing you're the one with the mysterious energy sink..."

Stella nodded to his introduction, quietly listening to his story with thoughtful focus. Terry had done a decent job of describing it, but Amir here knew his plight better than anyone. A person with the ability to travel through shadow...a natural, tribal gift. Her thought process was derailed, however, by a question.
"Oh, why thank you," she smiled sweetly. What a gentleman! "My name is Stella...and if you know the rest and shadow jumping aren't draining you, then we need to find out what is. Hopefully it's inadvertent, or benign, but I don't know much about you. Do you have many enemies? Anyone who would hex or set something against you...?"

"Oh, my eyes are a little different!" Orrin exclaimed, never having been so enamored with his own face. Then again, he wasn't used to having a new face at all. "My cheeks...I look more manly now! And -- is that a Nirro streak in my hair? I love it! It's like Christmas came early for me...though, wow...not even thinking about how I look for a good month..." He felt like a fledgling again, just still getting the bearings on his looks, his powers, what life would be like as an Agent, a "protogod"...
"Red and blue...a balance between my two sides. And so classy!" He handed the mirror back. "Sorry if I'm gushing a bit...I'll get used to it."
Stella grimaced only momentarily. The whole nobility title thing never stuck with her...even her employees knew to just call her Stella. Miss Stevenson if they were especially formal. She listened to his story, one of her hairsticks jotting down short notes on key points. Keeping wands handy, and knowing such practical spells...she had gotten some practice, with all the office work. One thing that stuck out to her was his quest.
"Dimension jumping is always dangerous business," she said, looking over the notes. "Particularly ones in which you are unfamiliar. You didn't have these symptoms until your return...so, my best educated guess is that something befell you in the Beyond and has followed you home. While the good news is that it's not actively malicious, it also means it will be much harder to deal with. Extradimensional matters are always a bit tricky."
Max had taken enough time. Doe was probably already on the move, and if she was going to exploit this contract, she needed to do it now. She opened her wardrobe, pulling out the same outfit as before alongside the small arsenal of magical materia she had stocked herself with prior. "I gotta see 'im," she muttered, " an' I gotta be ready. No flakin' out...no losin' my steam..."

"It iiiis~!" she trilled, lazily switching her feet in the air. "Isn't it lovely? Don't feel bad about it, dear, because if you don't gush, I surely will. Don't get me wrong, you were divine before, but this is an entirely different style of divine, one that truly suits you...isn't it nice and fresh, being free?"
To her, this was a twofold delight: his freedom and his ascension all ran to his and her advantages alike. He was at the beginning of a marvelous new chapter, one that she was more than delighted to show him into.

"That's a bit of a trick question," Orrin replied, taking the moment to steal a hug and a kiss from her. "I always felt free, until just a bit ago. Nirro's practically throwing a party in my head, though. He--er, we-- want to invite you."
"I'm just not used to it," she answered. "I do find it charming. Speaking of which...it's a simple scribing charm. So, a little bit of the latter two. I direct it what to write down with my will, but the writing itself is all from the spell. I've been meaning to refine it, but I haven't needed to yet." Oh, it felt good, finally being able to talk about magic again instead of paperwork or the latest disaster in the Labs. This was why she trained...wasn't it?
"I respect your privacy, and your boldness," she nodded, ever content to ease someone's mind. It was her best guess, so it wasn't solid fact, but at least it seemed to help. If it was extradimensional, it wasn't personal. But it was still very dangerous, being alien to this area. "However, since you have offered, more information might help us discern the nature of this strange phenomenon. How much privacy do you require? I have plenty of locations at my disposal."
Max let out a sigh, looking into the mirror and seeing that Rainbow Mage stare back at her. She even added the Rainbow Connection for an extra touch (and an escape plan if this didn't really work). Part of her was excited to give this whole thing a try again...but her knees still shook. She had been thinking it over, which may have been a very, very bad idea. Should she take Remy with her again...? What about Ty? He seemed to be pretty good at shady deals.
"Why'm I always leanin' on them...?" She asked her reflection, adjusting the scarf. "They like me an' all, but I'm a big girl...okay, figuratively. But ya know what I mean, right? What if I took this guy down myself? I can be more than a partyin' hacker chick...with these, I can be a Superchick. I can do stuff, instead of askin' around. Vicky needs help...an' nobody else did it. Just Remy and me...you can do it. You can do it. Doe ain't nothin'. Just a pansy prissy-pants with muscle men." She gave her best heroic look to the mirror and left her room, strolling down the hallway.

"Call me whatever is comfortable for you," Stella decided at last. "If it's Lady, I'll deal. Besides, if Az is a Lady, then I surely am, too." She chuckled, peering around him to see Az's reaction. He seemed a little puzzled by her declaring him bold, but to go exploring through dimensions for a friend, particularly alone, took some serious courage.
"So, secluded but no forests. Fewer people, the better...Azana? Sosol? I know you guys don't particularly own it, but would you mind if I used Eden Forsaken to hear him out?"
"I'm honored," Sosol grinned, acknowledging the noble title before going back to sampling a margarita with Lin. She was a quick study, very meticulous in her measuring. The real trick came, though, when you could do it with just your eyes. "And I don't mind. Like you said, it's not exactly private property."
"Hard to get to, though...think you could portal to it, or do you want to borrow the cloak?" Azana added, feeling far too underdressed to be a lady but happy enough not to care. She raised the glass to Amir and nodded. "I'll let Ty know you trust him. That seems to make him happy."
"I've never been there myself, but I can give a portal a try," she answered. "I'd hate to take your artifacts from you if I don't have to." It only took her a moment to realize she had discussed all that without even explaining it to Amir.
"A few years ago...four, if memory serves, Azana helped stop a demonic entity from opening a way for all sorts of Hell to break loose. The temple he was trying to drag across is stuck halfway between worlds; you can see it from the coast, but you can't get to it through normal means. It's completely abandoned. And if whatever happened to you gets loose, we can trap it there. How's that sound...?"

Max hit the ground floor and paused to look at everyone there. Azana, Sosol, Lin, Amir, Stella all at the bar...Orrin and Charlotte not far off, noises from the kitchen. This giant, Talented, dysfunctional family...she smiled softly, juggling a surge of morale and a light pang of guilt. They'd hate to miss out, but oh well!
She bounded for the door as Marouse stepped in. She beamed, meeting him with a short hug and a wink. "Hi! Bye!" She grabbed her glider and left before she had a chance to be questioned or change her mind. "Here I come to save the day! That means Mighty Mouse is on the way~!"
Orrin described his idea with Charlotte, pulling out a few strange gizmos to illustrate his point. In shorthand, he planned on using one of his 'splitter' items to give Nirro his own temporary form, a mental projection to bring the imaginary party to life...and a failsafe to make sure Nirro didn't opt to run loose and find some bad karma.
"We just need somewhere empty enough that my projection won't run into it."
