MJ giggled. "Nah, it's fine. It's amazing that you're so passionate about this. You're really cute when you're talking about medicine."

"Oh I-haha," Parker giggled nervously, her face hot, and smiled. "I - thanks." She cleared her throat. "So umm what kind of stuff do you like to do?" Parker was usually one to think out her words carefully but all she could think as the previous words came out of her mouth were lame, lame, lame.

"Well, I've been moving from project to project in my free time without much success, but for now, I'm trying to make a chemical solvent that basically is earplugs that mold to your ears. You're supposed to be able to take them out whenever you want, but I'm still working on that part. It's for defense against harpies and sirens. And you?" MJ asked.

“Well I just read a lot. Recently it’s been books on medicine and human biology and all that. I say this at the risk of sounding completely alien but humans are pretty fascinating. How they work both physically and mentally. Actually that’s pretty much what I do in my free time. Study the human psyche,” Parker said, pushing up her glasses.

Azora smiled coming through the door, "I love connivance stores one stop shopping for all your occult needs. Salt for separating soul from body, Ice to keep the body habitable, and" she tossed and hot dog on the counter, "Food for familiars." She started moving towards the bathroom, "So we have a fixed time now so I'll be commandeering the tub."

(bump)

(ahh sorry i forgot to mention that i'm not allowed to use technology on the weekends)

"You're not part human?" MJ asked, curious. (haha i just realized the coincidences- mj and parker, what are the odds)

(omg thats kinda amazing)

"Oh uh, nope," Parker said, pushing her hair back and tapping her fingers against her legs. "My mother is a demon and my dad's an angel. What about you, if you don't mind?" she asked. Parker made sure to say the demon part quickly. She didn't like the way people looked at her after they knew what she was. She looked up as Azora entered the room, and watched her march into the bathroom.

"Human, and angel," MJ muttered. She didn't ask about the way that Parker said "demon," and hoped that the other girl was smart enough to not pry about "angel," "Hey, do you want to go train together outside?" she asked, changing the subject quickly. "If we run into any dangers, it's probably best to be prepared. I mean, I work best on the fly, but I don't want to take any chances. It's my first mission."

"Like . . . " Parker searched for the word. "Sparring?" She considered it. "Well, I'm not the best at hand-to-hand stuff. I mostly specialize in long-range weaponry or just healing. Though now that I think about it, it'd be smart to practice that kind of stuff. It's my first mission too, and you're right, it's good to be prepared." She stood up. "Shall we?"

Azora looked over at Fiona, "You volunteered to drown me, and if memory serves you use water magic right?"

Fiona nodded "yup," she walked over to the bathroom and set the bags of ice down near the bathroom door, waiting for Azora's instructions.

Karis reapers a few minutes later, looking tired. "I got some information." He says before slumping into a chair, this run had taken a lot out of him.

Azora began cutting the bags open and pouring them into the tub before filling it with cold water. "So I'm telling you now that I will probably fight you. See even though I know it's not going to kill me, my body is still going to perceive that it's dyeing and will react accordingly."

Fiona nodded "Ok, so i just have to hold down a person that thinks they are dying, nice." Fiona watched as Azora filled the tub with water and stood off to the side.

"Like . . . " Parker searched for the word. "Sparring?" She considered it. "Well, I'm not the best at hand-to-hand stuff. I mostly specialize in long-range weaponry or just healing.

MJ grabbed Parker by the arm and yeeted them both outside (sorry not sorry) (but the mental image was too good). She held her stick from earlier at the ready, sliding into an offensive position. "So when should we start?"
( See: "It's okay, I got your back!" MJ chimed in. "Fire magic. I have this-" she waved a small metal stick slightly longer than the length of her hand in the air. "As my badass weapon." She looked around, as if daring anyone to argue.)

Fiona nodded "Ok, so i just have to hold down a person that thinks they are dying, nice." Fiona watched as Azora filled the tub with water and stood off to the side.

"Not think," Azora sighed, "You… you really are killing me, but I'll come back, it's one of the few good things I ever got from my father. The ability to cheat death."

(Never be sorry. That was great)
Parker stumbled at the sudden change of location. She regained her balance and looked up to see MJ's stick pointed at her. "Now, I suppose?" She shed her dark green coat and scarf so she was in her boots, black pants, and black shirt. "But as I said I'm not the best at this, just warning you."

"Hey, from experience, most people who say that they aren't good at things tend out to be fucking experts at-" Without warning, MJ charged at Parker, the tip of her metal stick lighting on fire.

Fiona nodded "Ok, so i just have to hold down a person that thinks they are dying, nice." Fiona watched as Azora filled the tub with water and stood off to the side.

"Not think," Azora sighed, "You… you really are killing me, but I'll come back, it's one of the few good things I ever got from my father. The ability to cheat death."

"oh….that's nice…um, yeah…..ok." Fiona looked at Azora and then looked at the bathtub full of Ice and water.
