"My blushes....." modestly.

"I don't know what to tell mom or dad about this..." Audrey sighs and sips her coffee

"Why say anything at all? It will only upset them."

"Tell them jack shit. Mom would tell you you brought this on yourself" Nolan answers hen nods "What Benji said"

A coffee-toast and he sips.

And of course, Nolan takes a drink of his coffee "Sis, I'm thinking of bailing on mom and dad. Why don't you bail with me? They treat you worse than they do me anyway.. and shit, while you're a pain in the ass att least I don' call you a whore"

"Wow" Audrey says cooly "Truly, you do not call your own female family membes whores,, you should have a medal granted. " She golf claps.

He sighs "You knnow what i mean"

William reaches to take up the bag with the lantern with a glance at Callidora.

CC mutters something, "Second" And walks over to the barista and whispers sometingg in his ear.

The guy blushes, and goes onn break with a sign that says "Will retrunn in 10 minuetes"

Then CC returns. Onne less possible target

Grandpa drums innocently while this happens.

And she casts another cantrip to make people fuddle to think it's hours later.. they rush out, sure they are late for wokr or to gget to home. She probably expects some glamour will bei n the air soon. The twins are arguing

"And wha would we do, Nolan? For money, or rent?" Audrey explains

"There's always a job needed" He explains

"You're not the sort to stick with a job when it becomes a job" She reminds "Remember that place that sold harleys?"

"I do.. and they were assholes" He explainns "And posers on top of it"

William takes a breath... and arranges the lanter, then .... opens it.

And twin bubbles of glamour float out .. and start to seek.. they donnn't have to look far

William waits.

And watches.

The two mortals don't see the bubbles, at least, not at first... then one engulfs Audrey, and she gasps.. it's not a painful sound, more like incredibly surprise at suddenly delight.

Grandpa waits.

"Sis?" Nolan waits and reaches out to her... but then the other bubble claims her, and he calls ouot too

and both seem to be in a fever dream.. glamour floats about...

William rises from the table, taking his things with thim. A Dream Dance will bring Glamour, and locals.... and he'd rather not be found here.

Well. Not just yet.

And yet, as voile and menin's shift... as they mutter and talk... and chimera sometimes sprout

EBG realizes they seem to be... a touch tabla raza.. not empty, but definitely in a suggestable state.

"You..wanna fight about it?" Audry mutters...

Nolan writhes "Gotta find a better..."

but words fade in and out

He can't -quite- pull himself away; he wants to see how it ends!

Wrapped up in the event, William says "Live your lives the way you wish. Obey only what comes from within. Remember the kindly man on your side who tried to help. He will try to help again if you need."

They squirm... and smile

"I'll watch over you." he promises, then takes up his things and slips away.

CC sees this, and whispers to Audrey "Don't let those jackasses keep you from having love life on your own terms, and... you're a redhead so go with emerald greens, black or navy blues to compliment. Just a suggestion"

Seriously? Fashion tips? Seems so

And then she races out after the boggan in the shades

William might roll his eyes, but he hides it.

"Well, useful, but that was a sedate dream dance otheer..."

behind them,, suggestions given settling in, the Dream Dance seems to begin in Earnest! And there is a Double SHockwave of glamour and new Chimera! From miles away, one might sense the release of glamour

".. or they're late kaboomers" she says staring back as a Chimerical Star Scream flies into the sky

"Wait...." as it happens, and he watches.

"Honey, any moment now someone tall and blue is going to notice this... can I at least veil us?"

"Yes." he whispers.

V from Vendetta masks rises up like a spinning swirl

and a veil invoked

Sure enough, SOMEONE notices.
