Snippet #770036

Brandon raised an eyebrow as his browser refreshed and the PM inbox had a new addition. He read over the message quickly and almost chuckled. He hurriedly maneuvered to the chat with Savannah watching over his shoulder.


Aufeis says: So, what exactly we talking about here, SM?
Aufeis says: If you tell me what happened to you, I'll tell you what happened to me.
Aufeis says: Chu is gonna be so god damned jealous when he hears about this!
Aufeis says: Heh heh
Aufeis says: >:D

Satisfied with his messages, he sat back and waited for his friend to reply. Surely this couldn't be happening to just him. Savannah smiled as she watched the board, pointing to the last line, "This one takes the appearance of a face." She said, bemused. Her face went serious again, "This "SM". Is he a wizard of some kind?"

Brandon laughed, "I don't think so. But it does sound like he's in the same situation I am in. Otherwise, he had a real coincidental home invasion."

Savannah's face fell, "Why do you joke about invasion? If he is your ally, why do you not attempt to aid him?"

Brandon simply groaned, "No, it isn't that sort of invasion. Someone broke into his house." he said, realizing that he would have to choose his word very carefully. Why couldn't it have been Jane, or Zach that came to life? At least they were modern. Of course, he supposed they would probably stick out amongst a crowd. Speaking of sticking out..."Savannah...no offense, but we need to get you out of that armor. You need to blend, at least until I can figure out what in the name of hell is going on."

"But...should I risk vulnerability simply for sociable norms?" Savannah asked, giving him a peculiar look.

"You can keep the chain mail on under the normal clothes, but I can't exactly have you walking around in that get up."

"If you say so." Savannah said, stripping the armor off, down to her chain mail vest and leggings. Underneath that was a relatively normal looking tunic and cloth leggings.

"Could you put the chain mail on underneath your clothes?" He asked.

"I could, but in here? Do you not have someplace more...private?" She asked, her eyes hard.

"Yes, the bathroom is in there. Make sure you lock both doors, otherwise my suite mates could walk in on you." He said, turning red with embarrassment. Figment of his insanity or no, she was still a woman.
