From today’s edition of The Halls of Power:

And this old chick takes them to her house and she’s all like “Oh, you dudes want some magic powers or something?” And Lu was all like “Hell, yeah, why not, beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. And it’s not like we’re doing anything else.” And Danby’s like “Same, dude.” And so, the old chick, she’s got this totally evil grin, hey, and then she goes “Alright. But I’m not going to tell you what your powers are. Coz it’s soo much more fun for me to watch you squirm.” And Lu and Danby were like “Woah, dude, your freaky or something, hey.” And then the old chick, she goes “Alakazam!!” and “Abracadabra!!” and a bunch of arabic or some shit, hey. And then theres this trippy light, and they’re all like, “Woah…” and all. And then the chick cackles, like, full on cackles like a witch and shit. And then, she says, “Okay. So, now, in return, I have a mission for you.” And Danby and Lu are like, totally freakin out here, y’know? And so they just go “uha.” And then she said “So. You guys go find this thing that I want you to find” And she sent them a mental image of it. (OOC: But I can’t think what it is right now.) “So you guys do that, and then I wont kill you.” So Lu and Danby are like, “Right. Okay. We’ll do that then.” And they nicked off.
