Piper speaks up, "I'd offer some hair or something as a relation, but I'm adopted. As I tell Zane, it just means that -my- parents -picked- ME."

Basil nods "to be fair though, both of my aunts are pronne to drinking"

She laughs!

Symon suggests, "If someone can do a will o' wisp, we could find him. He may not be ready to be found though. You might just tick him off."

Gerd reaches over to touch the bracelet and begins to intone "The Wizard can run, if he has the itch, but no wizard born, can escape the witch! "

Glamour flows and.. she reals back "I saw... a phoenix.... by the sea"

Siv blinks "Well, that's easy enough to guess. He's at Jessica's! "

Symon dryly adds, "And he's a wizard, might have his own wards... or might be able to sense we're magickin' at his direction." A small smirk.

"Makes sense. It's an easy trip there."

"It probably wouldn't be the best idea for a whole crowd of us to descend on her hold at once.'

"...but it might make an impression."

Piper hides a small grin at the idea.

"Be like 'Come home, Dagmar doesn't like change'?"

"Well, you don't" Siv nods "but in this case, nnont crazy about it either"

Sylvi grins.

"Come home or the whole damn crew're going tagging along after you." Symon smirks.

"Okay, so...who should go after him to deliver that threat?"

"Well. I mean, bet I could carry him home..."

Piper suggests, "We don't know why he left. Give him some time maybe?"

"But more... yeah. Some way to know his absence is noticed and he's wanted?"

"That...might make sense," Sylvi nods to Piper.

"Like... tell him good luck sorting out his shit, and we're waiting for him? Maybe?"

"WHy not give a cover story on top of it? " Jordan sugggests "I'll wrrite a note to Fawn to pass on. Can talk about how Linwood is doing in it.. so on"

"Gerd, how precisely can you flicker-flash something? Like, could you put his phone back in his pocket?" Piper looks amused at the idea.

"Not that good but .. wait, yes, yes I could... his backpack"

"Ha! I kind of like that, the phone thing."

At that Basil hands it over to Gerd.

"Or a note from home every day. I'd pass the dross for my own note. Eventually he'd be so drowning in letters he might get sick of it enough to come home."

"Gerd, you're going to be a telegram office."

Gerd mmphs "This will be draining, but I got it. Like the letter thing too. Like owls floodinn the dursley home. .But let's try this"

"I mean, Fenix is just through the door..."

"Could sneak it."

"I mean, not me."

Symon sighs. "That way at least he can't wise up and ditch the backpack."

She takes the phone and holds it up "Reach out, Reach out and touch someone. Can you hear me now? ...." And therre's a FLASH in her hands... then she wobbles "Oh.. sorry, were there other plans in motion?"

"Well, if sneaking is the way to go...." she gives Symon a pointed look.

Symon shoots SIV a pointed look, and then grins gummily.

"There's competition these days."

Siv snorts "I disguise. I still don't sneak near as welll"

Lucia is giving Gerd some glamour "You guys saw Gerd already sent the phone, right?"

"You sneak better than me. Low bar, but still."

"Yeah... so, okay. We can text-bomb him?"

"Oooh, you're quick, Gerd."

"I maxed the volume up too," Gerd smirks "No ignoring"

"Text-bomb, it is. Everybody. Phones at the ready!"

"Annnnnd...TEXT!"

Annd they do...

various ways and messages

Piper rolls her eyes a bit. HER text says "Sorry Zuzu, I said to give you space. Guess you're too popular."
