"I can't believe we're house shopping" Felicity noses around in every room with Irene. The Realtor has put a false smile on her face

It was kind of fun watching Felicity's brain explode when Irene got the secret before she did. Eiluned are just twitchy about it

Irene can open EVERY door and drawer and latch...

The Realtor winces as the Lazy susan is found and spun about

AND flips every switch

But Irene is not sure about this house. It feels too ..well ,she doesn't know the word, drab? It's such a house house, like someone painted by numbers instead of what made them happy

Felcity sniffs her nose "This place doesn't hold many surprises"

"It's borrrrring."

"ADORABLE Kids" The Realtor says that smile more forced than ever

"What's boring about it, honey?" her mom asks, taking her seriously even if other grown ups sometimes don't

Morthwyl looks over at his own charge "Felicity?"

"I don't like it" she admits "it looks just like the other houses on the street just turned a different direction and another coat of paint"

"It's like... generic. It doesn't have anything weird. Like it wants to blend in with every other house."

"Yes" Felicity agrees "That."

"Houses should be a little weird."

"Got anything a bit more weird?" Morthywl asks the realtor.

A defeated look crosses the realtor's face "Weird is.. somewhat vague, but we do have a few that...stand out"

And off they go to a new house.

"It should be special!"

"Well, we have one closer to the high school than the elementary, but... " The Realtor brings them to a place. There's a steel fence on the side that is kind of ugly, and the yard is hardly grassy (Not unusual in Ft Davis) but.. the building looks like it is made or at least covered in stones.

(OOC Credit for find goes to Catnik 😉 )

"Three bathrooms, four bedrooms"

The Realtor explains

"Ooo, rocks. Grete would like this."

"She might visit more" Felicity admits "let's go see" And the girls charge forward as soon as the door is unlocked. The realtor winces again

This house IS quirky, at least compared to that boring one they left

PLINK! Someone found the piano...

It may need tuning

Yup. Needs tuning

"Your child plays? " The Realtor sees an Angle "I can ask if the piano comes with the house. Most of the furniture should if you like?"

"Something to consider" Her mom is careful not to act like it's that big a deal.

"Irene, you gotta see these bedrooms" Felicity calls out

"Coming!"

"Look at the mirror in this one"

"Yeah?" She follows.

Felicity beams at the mirror "It's like a magic mirror, see?" It's not a treasure, but then, since when do kids need something to be a treasure to be magical?

"Ohhh.."

"Mirror mirror, on the wall, who is the witchiest of them all?" She beams

Try as it might, the mirror cannot make Zara's face appear. But it will keep practicing, and maybe ONE Day!?

"Tada .. see, my face is in it" Felicity crows at her reflection

"It is! Just like Shadow Sparkle the Magnificent!"

"Let's go see ALL the rooms" She says

"Yeah!"

When Irene peeks into the little room with the red bed, her eyes glance over it and..she sees the Unicorn under the lamp!

"I like the tile, but why would we need two pianos?" Her mom's voice can be heard

"Felicity!"

"Yes?" Felicity says from the hall, checking out the other room

"Look!"
