Twins on a Trail
21st of February 2007 A.D.
Pretty girls are the devil's trick on men, Terry had heard his father say some twist of those words more times than he would remember and to be fair to the old man, which he did try to do all the pretty girls he met so far in Chicago were some kind of vampire, faerie or even a ghoul which really weren't supposed to be pretty. So he wasn't really surprised when the pretty quiet girl that almost seemed to slip out of sight when you didn't look at her admitted that she was 'like a Vampire of the Jade Court'. What he wasn't expecting was that to be followed up by a scavenger hunt though the city where they had to figure out the names and dates of death Chicago ghosts while she'd be doing her best to mess with them. They were given a list of twelve ghost stories, some of which were fake and told to figure out as much as they could by the end of the week to be checked against the accounts of the real ghosts at week's end.
One of the first thing the Council had tried to teach him was to keep notes since memory, even a wizard's memory wasn't always reliable. Alas the first thing the ghost hunt taught him was that paper
burned real fine. Doing the usual Warden tactic of trying to play keep away from regular folks just got them messed with more and Terry had a sneaking suspicion that he only shared with his sister Tina that the first of the lot to try using the sight to catch her at it was in for a heck of a scolding.
So they tried the public library. Sure they got looks, but it was cause of they 'talked funny' not being cunning folk and it quickly became clear that librarians were both some of the nicest people around, always willing to point you at something useful or just fun to read.
"Think I'm startin' to get a notion why other wizards love books so much," Tina confessed from behind a leaning tower of books that was like that tilted even more than the one in the postcards.
They quickly got into a system with Terry speeding though books and newspapers to see if there was any hint of a haunt and Tina diving deep, but the trouble was that it would take longer to go deep than wide and pretty soon Terry was left without anything more to do while his sister read up on scissors murders and strangled mailmen.
"Think we can have a look at the
computer?" His tone may have had a bit of a whine to it, but he wasn't admiring nothing. He had wanted to get a hold of one ever since he had seen Jenny Sewer made her own came with 'programing language', wasn't a great game or nothing, but he thought it was cool. Maybe he thought it was a little too coll 'cause a few minutes after having the thought he blew out the 'motherboard' which was called that cause it was really important.
"I think that Warden Remirez isn't going to pay any property damage we cause," Tina huffed.
"He told us to call him Carlos," Terry reminded her.
"Seems disrespectful is all," she muttered, leading Terry to add another notch in the disturbing theory of his sister maybe, posibily being sweet on the Warden.
They were too young for that nonsense anyway.
He resolutely ignored the way his palms had sweated around various pretty girls since they came to Chicago, they were all magic and so didn't count.
OOC: Contrary to popular belief I did not forget about the baby wardens and neither did your Circle. These kids are going to learn important life lessons one way or the other.
