Ken looked to Frost, then to Peridot. "...Are we magic?" He asked Peridot. He didn't really know. He had magic, but were they magic?

Frost walked towards them and said "Oh that was fast. Did the girl..." He paused and said "Hi there"

"Morning." Stephana smiled as the royalty of the magic people gave Frost (of course Frost was magic, nobody who wasn't a magic person would use the name Frost) court orders to buy Icecream. Following Peridot into the room, she scanned the area with her well honed People Sense^TM.

Peridot, clearly the leader of this gang, leading the way.

Nice Guy, hanging around behind her. Nice Guy seemed nice, and the only person in the room she'd trust as an Uber Driver.

Frost. Walking next to him, it was clear as day that the cold radiated from his body. Yeah, she should have put two and two together. He had a motorcycle, so he couldn't be all bad.

There was a young boy lying prone on the couch. From Stephana's vast experience with couches and their occupants, he probably drank too much last night, given that he was slowly drinking what was probably a hangover cure.

Wait - that's stew. So maybe not a hangover cure. Although who knows? This was magic land now, anything's possible. Drinking age might be 11 here, for some purpose unknown. Or they just kidnapped a young boy for magic reasons. Stephana still hadn't scratched off the possibility that everybody in the room was a dick. Except Nice Guy, it would really surprise her if Nice Guy turned on her.

Lounging in the corner was a far more familiar face - a Brooding Teen, scrolling on her phone. Seeming to fall on the casually rebellious side instead of the "I fell into a top topic please help" aesthetic that was popular twenty years ago. The look suited her. She did look bored as hell though, which, given that she was surrounded by Magic People, meant that she was either the most magic person here (boredom because "none of these peasants can challenge me,") or because she was just a teen and was bored by everything.

...

HOW COULD YOU BE BORED BY MAGIC PEOPLE?! Hell, she didn't know if she'd be able to sit still!

She had half a mind to start pushing her buttons, but she had enough self-restraint to avoid that for the time being. This was a delicate, magical situation right here. No screwing with it yet, until you knew it wouldn't end with blunt force trauma, fire, Icecream etc.

There was also a dog, seeming to enjoy the Boy's company. Stephana knew girls who would drop everything if they knew a dog was walking across the street, but she was never one of those girls. Cute little thing, though.

Max chuckled quietly and continued stroking the dog, "Hey Hades." he said quietly. What a strange name for a dog.

She turned around to talk to Nice Guy, but Nice Guy was moving around to be in her frame of reference at the same time, so she ended up just doing a 360.

Names! Oh, She forgot that part.


She snapped her fingers, and the familiar feeling tugged down to the electric core of her being, and she let it flow. With a bright flash, lightning arched between her fingers, racing down her forearm and around her neck. Her hair immediately puffed out. She giggled, static crackling between her teeth, electricity floating in her eyes.

Ken quietly waited for them to talk, observing the woman known as Stephena. So, she was uh, an electricity velkar he guessed? He wasn't sure. He really only knew himself, a light velkar, because everything he did involved light. He wondered how many kinds there were, including if there was an opposite to him. If he was faster in the light, was there someone out there faster in the dark? Probably. Must be lonely, though.

"Angels?" The word dropped out of Stephana's mouth.

Angels? Velkar were Angels?

That big war was fought by Angels? Her Mom was an angel?!

"Umm...should I have wings?" she asked, turning to Brooding Teen. If she was literally descended from angels, she probably should, right? "One sec, I'll try and find them."

The lightning jumped from her teeth to her back, arching up the back of her spine. She flexed her shoulders blades, wiggling them around, trying to get the feeling down. Nothing felt...odd there, and she'd gone 40 years without noticing anything wrong with it. But maybe they were hidden, and just needed the right movement to come out! She was not going to look foolish in front of the wizards!

"If you've got them, they should've popped up when you were hitting puberty. I remember when mine came in, my parents had a conversation with me about the birds and the bees, or whatever your family might've called it, then they explained the nubs coming out of my back were wings I shouldn't use to fly where people can see me! Boy, when I got to school it was really weird, having wings when no one else did." Ken rattled on, clearly having more stories to tell on the matter.

"So you're half-Velkar, half-human," Athena said from the couch.
