Ellis was sure he wasn't drunk when he stumbled around the town he didn't recognize. But what was sure, was the fact that he wasn't supposed to be alone. He was in the frozen, frozen wasteland...a lost soul trapped in a cave as he bled out thanks to another-Wait, this wasn't Panem either. This was more like his home world and for a moment, Ellis braced for the incoming howls and roars of the Tanks and the Chargers. Shit out of luck and no weapons to speak of, not even that pocket knife!

After a few minutes of silence, the mechanic peeked from under his arms. "Tha's strange...why is this place all silent?" In other words: where were the Infected Hordes? "Where is everything?"

This place had not seen the ravages of the Green Flu, but that couldn't be it! The maps covered in big red x's, every major city was hit! Hell, even Mexico threatened to close the border, airlines were grounded, all to keep the virus contained. But this place was idyllic, quiet, and for the young man, impossible.

All the while Ellis tries thinking out loud, he doesn't realize just how much danger he's in as the shadows become ominous. "Huh?"

[Takes place immediately after this.]

Tadashi caught himself on the frame of an open door and let his momentum carry him through it. The last thing he needed, really, the last thing this day needed was for him to get lost in the giant winter lodge-slash-workshop and need someone to come find him. And if he'd kept running, he would have absolutely gotten lost. He almost wasn't sure how he'd gotten here; like his quick dash to get some space to think had completely wiped his brain of everything but the urge to keep running until everything made sense again.

But things weren't going to make sense unless he stopped and let himself take it all in. Mindless panic didn't help anyone, least of all him.

So. He was in another reality where magic existed and so did people like Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and Jack Frost. He was here because someone -- a kid -- knew something about his life and something about him made that kid feel safe. And he had super powers. He could actually heal people by touching them, and he could see their injuries the way he'd programmed Baymax to. That was...that was good. He'd built Baymax to help people, and while he might only be one guy as opposed to any number of versions of Baymax he could produce, he could still help people in this fight against.

Against a thing that wanted to destroy all of reality. And had already thinned the walls of reality so badly that he'd gotten pulled through.

And Hiro and Aunt Cass had no idea what had happened to him after he'd run into the burning Expo hall.

Tadashi took a deep breath and let it out, then looked around the room where he'd ended up and had to crack a smile. He wasn't sure if it was coincidence, instinct, or his new magical powers, but finding the kitchen area was probably a good start.

This situation might look better from the other side of a bear claw the half the size of his head.

The thing with superspeed and cooking was that it was great for food prep but it still took just as long for things to cook as they always did. Kon had tried heatvision in the past, to speed things along, but that'd always had disastrous results. Using it to warm food, though, that worked and that was how he reheated the first batch of fried chicken he'd made after he finished the last batch. He also used it to reheat the gravy.

It was a proper gravy, a creamy sawmill gravy. He was crazy proud of his gravy. He'd never been able to replicate Ma's cooking 100% but he sure came close with the gravy.

The lounge area had lots of comfy chairs and was an ideal place for people to relax and hang out while eating fried chicken so he set up shop near all the comfy couches, putting down plate after plate of fried chicken and biscuits. The biscuits had been made in a massive batch and had been left warming in the oven so they nice and warm and flaky.

He danced around as he finished cooking his massive chicken dinner to one of those ipod stereos. He had an ipod full of girly pop that he'd nicked from the lab. At first he thought it was maybe Honey Lemon's but when he saw that the playlist names had somehow been programmed in Interlac, he figured out it was Lyle or Brainy's. In the past, their inclination towards girly pop music was something he might have ribbed them over but now? Now he danced around and sang to Katy Perry's "Roar" like nobody's business.

Between the music and the smell of delicious fried chicken and biscuits, most of the myths at the Pole would come see what the fuss was about but in case some of them didn't, Kon had made a whole tray of biscuits as a treat for the elves and he used them as a preemptive reward for getting the others.

"Go, my minions!" he cried out, tossing biscuits to them. "Go and get the others so they may feast!"

Out of gratitude for the delicious biscuits, they saluted him and spread out to bring everyone's attention to the glorious spread. Anyone that came to see what the fuss was about would be treated to an early dinner of delicious fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, and for the vegetarians among them (like Lyle and Brainy), grits, collard greens, black-eyed peas, and mashed potatoes.

Yes, he'd gone all out. It was almost Easter and that meant a few people would be having an Easter here instead of with their families, right? So it'd be a good one. He also figured doing it before Easter was a good idea in case Bunny needed their help or something on actual Easter Day.

When people started showing up, they were treated to the sight of a rather spectacular feast and the sight of Kon dancing around between the lounge and the kitchen as he finished making one last boatload of gravy and cleaned up. He was wearing an apron that said 'Kiss my grits!'

"Go ahead and tuck in," he said to people as they started showing up. "It's Before-Easter Dinner! And while I can't claim I'm as good a cook as the lady I learned to cook from, who I learned to cook from is a genuine Kansas farmer so it's still finger-lickin' good."

Nothing made any sense at all.

Why was Pearl here and not home in Beach City where she was just a moment ago? What city is this? How far is she from the coast? How did she even get here? Pearl only deals well with one problem at a time, and maybe she could deal with the location change if she knew where she was now or if she knew why or how or or or...

There were people all around her and not a single one of them seemed to be paying attention to her slowly building breakdown. Was that fine? Did she need the help? She needed something, that much was clear.

She bounded in front of a reasonably respectable looking human in two strides, the uneven pavement starting to hurt her feet and she idly wondered why don't humans maintain things after they build them?

“Excuse me, sir,” she said as she kept pace with him, “My name is Pearl, and I am a Crystal Gem. I'm trying to determine exactly what fluctuation in the universe has left me here -I'm fairly sure I'm at least a few miles from home- so if you could please-”

He walked right through her, as though she was an apparition.

"...tell me why I've become incorporeal?!"

And that is why Pearl is currently pacing in circles in the middle of the sidewalk, head in hands, unable to decide which problem can be reasonably dealt with first, and getting down to some serious freaking out.

Brooklyn New York.

Not a particularly silly place, nor a place known for love running rampant but to the locals it would seem particularly strange today in both respects.

It started with a car accident. Two people both claiming that the light had been green in their favor. They started out shouting looking ready to rip each other apart...then they were passionately making out on top of the wreckage of their cars.

Things got more interesting as people seemed to be spontaneously hooking up all over the city causing a complete slow down as business ground to a stop, traffic, even schools were shut down as no one could convince the teachers to stop making out in the broom closets and bathrooms.

It became pure chaos however as Coney Island began to tear itself apart much to the enchantment of it's onlookers. The famous Farris Wheel that had long been a piece of the skyline was overworked from how many couples were using it and it broke from it's supports rolling along the boardwalk and into the city streets.

This was no series of random happenstance. No this was the work of a mischievous spirit. One who was currently lurking behind a couple unseen as she made kissy faces behind them.

"Go on do it! Kiss! Kiss! You know you wanna!"

Harleen Quinzel had been a spirit before, and had harnessed her abilities as a spirit to do the same thing back in her own world. Finding herself apparently a ghost once more she decided to forgo an existential crisis and cause a little chaos. It had been far too long and frankly these poor saps were just the victims of what was almost two years of pent up madness.

Harley had been to other worlds, she had seen people she loved and cared about die horribly until she too had died horribly and pointlessly in a war that nobody really wanted.

She had lived other lives hadn't she? There were memories that drifted fleetingly in and out of her mind but at the moment what was strongest were feelings of regret and loss. Feelings that she was burying under shameless shipping.

"That's it! Almost there! Kiss the girl! Like the crab said go on and kiss the girl!"

The last thing Pacifica remembered was that the gravity in Gravity Falls going all... weird. She had lifted free of her bed where she'd been trying to sulk away the fearsome grounding that her parents had dumped on her after she'd decided that breaking the familial curse was way, way more important than preserving the stupid family name and keeping out the riff-raff. Plus, you know... Dipper had kind of been in danger because her.

She'd come crashing back to earth as gravity righted itself, head spinning from the drop--and then she'd woken up in a bed that... was uncomfortably foreign. She sat bolt upright, rubbing at her eyes as she stared into the darkness around her. It was oppressive, like some thick, old cloak that reeked of mothballs. Except it smelled faintly of mildew instead. She was in some weird, creaky old cabin, the kind you might see in some movie about kids at a summer camp, a row of bunk beds along both walls. Shoving the itchy woolen blanket off herself, she let her bare feet drop to the cold wooden floor and padded towards the window, arms crossed tightly against herself. This was stupid. This was really stupid and weird and if she had to bet money she'd say that the Pines were involved somehow. They were always involved in weird stuff like this.

Outside the window, other cabins sat sprinkled along worn pathways amongst tall pine trees. She could see moonlight glinting off a lake at the very end of the path, peeking between the trees. Okay. She was at a summer camp... But it didn't look like anything in Gravity Falls. She took a moment scramble around at the foot of the bed, muttering about her lack of flashlight as she tried to come up with a pair of shoes. Nothing. Great. She moved to the doorway and tugged the door open, wincing at the loud, ominous creak of its hinges. First things first. Find a phone, get some shoes, and hopefully get out of her pajamas...

Her first barefoot steps outside were ginger and cautious, the girl wincing at the feel of pebbles, twigs, and dirt against her bare feet.

"Worst. Ever." She took a few more steps. Paused to listen. Was somone... following her? She whirled around, staring into the darkness that had swallowed the cabin.

"I can hear you! This isn't funny!" She shivered. What if...what if her parents had sent her here? She'd never disobeyed them this badly before. What if they'd just abandoned her? The new thought sent a pang of panic into her gut and she turned, shuffling hurriedly down the path, imagining that she could hear breathing behind her as she headed for the largest building. There had to be a phone there, right?

Peter was pretty sure he must be going to hell for this. Or at least some kind of nasty purgatory. Because not only was he stealing, he was stealing from Santa Clause.

And it wasn't even the first time he'd done it.

But he couldn't just sit around, doing nothing. Especially after he'd been introduced to that Jaime kid, and found that suddenly his spider-reflexes were back and he wasn't about to trip over his own feet every five seconds. (And it turns out that the whole 'power from belief' thing was true. Who knew?) And the only way to actually get out there and try to make a difference was, at least as far as Peter knew, those snow gloves.

So, he stole them. Every day. So that he could put on his Spider-man suit and be completely invisible and intangible to everyone. Okay, so not exactly the greatest plan in the world. But he was trying to make it work.

Which was why he was now trying to stop muggers through the incredibly ingenious plan of...tossing random crap on the ground for him to trip them over. Hey, he had to work with what he had.

“Special delivery for you!” he declared, as he plonked a brick right into the mugger’s path. Unable to see Spider-man, the mugger’s foot caught on it and he went tumbling, face-first into the sidewalk. Peter crouched down next to him.

“I know, I know, I should have found a banana instead! Can’t go wrong with the classic.” The mugger made no response other than groaning, but then, he couldn’t hear Spider-man anyway. Not that this stopped Peter from talking. “Next time I’ll pack a bunch, just for you! Or not you, because you’ll be in jail.”

[ooc: You don’t need to jump in only at the end here - if you’d rather start when Peter’s stealing snow globes, that works too. This is also happening over time in various cities around the world]

None of this made any sense. True, as a Ghostbuster, Ray was used to things not making a lot of sense, they always did when the paranormal got involved, but this took the cake. One moment he was at the firehouse, getting equipped for another day on the job, the next he was in the middle of what looked like Chicago. Not only that, but people were passing through him like he wasn't even there.

Ray didn't feel dead. Of course, he didn't really know what feeling dead was like. Still, he wasn't obeying any normal rule of being a ghost. He was, again, in Chicago, rather than in the place he'd last been in or a place he had attachment to. He could pass through people, but not walls. He certainly couldn't hover or fly. Ray supposed he could chalk some of the issues up to being an extremely weak ghost, but the PKE readings he'd taken of himself were way too high for that to be the case.

So, after adjusting the PKE meter to ignore the wavelength he was putting out, he set off to track down the source of the phenomena. After many blocks, carrying the proton pack was starting to tire him out, which was another mark against him being a ghost. He rested against a streetlight, breathing a little heavily.

"This would be SO much easier if I had the Ectomobile." He reflected, and, as if it had just been waiting for him to call, the vehicle in question faded into existence in the parking space beside him.

"Today," Ray said, voice tinged slightly with awe, "Just keeps getting weirder and weirder."

They thought it was relatively safe. The twins were being sent out with a group of people that were essentially adults. Even Raph was an older teen and probably more experienced at fighting than all of them put together. The fearling they were looking for wasn't even that powerful, if the mini-fairies were to be believed. It was a construct, several fearlings reconfigured into something new, but not that powerful.

It needed to be hunted down and destroyed but it was something that Mabel alone could've handled. Between the five of them, they made short work of it and it looked to be a nice little on-the-job lesson for the twins, where they got to fight while under the protection and guidance of the others.

The problem was the fear. Fear was always the problem. That fear was just a coincidence but as coincidences sometimes went, it was a dangerous coincidence.

Not far from where they'd destroyed the fearling, there was a little girl who had played one of her older sister's video games and it had frightened her. As she went to bed that night with the fear clutching at her heart, the only thought that helped her fight the fear was the thought of two of her favorite cartoon characters - ones that fought scary things like ghosts all the time - fighting the scary ghosts in the game.

She knew they were the kind of twins that could beat the ghosts. That was the thought she fell asleep to, a thought that gained power in that twilight between waking and sleeping.

Where they were in the woods, that thought - and that fear - temporarily took on a life of its own, reshaping reality and assigning them all roles in the story it was trying to mold. A sudden mist swept through the dark woods and every myth in the group found themselves powerless. They still had their gear and their skill and wit but their myth powers were gone.

Even worse than that, as the mist obscured them from each other and they suddenly found themselves separated. They were suddenly all in different sections of an ancient, decrepit Japanese village, one that was caught in a strange and eerie twilight. Dancing around them in the breeze were glowing crimson butterflies that fluttered off, as if they were showing them which way they should go.

Whether it was safe to follow them or not was the question at hand.

"None of this makes a lick of sense," Bayard says to himself, and then, remembering that Granny is nowhere to be seen, he repeats it as "none of this makes a damn lick of sense."

Not that Granny would have been able to hear him, anyway; the air itself seems cluttered with a thousand sounds, coins jangling in metal troughs, people laughing and whooping, drinks being poured, and noises that defy explanation. Bayard barely notices until he's walked through at least two people that he's a ghost, so fascinated he is by the rug that extends as far as the eye can see, as if he's standing on a great plain of woven fabric dotted with train-like contraptions spitting coins and light like buoys upon the sea. Machines, he thinks. Like a cotton gin.

"Pardon!" he yelps, passing through yet another person, an outrageously-clad woman with bare shoulders and a dress that only goes as far as her knees. Bayard feels his face flush in vicarious shame for her, but she neither responds to his presence or to his voice. She stumbles in her tall shoes and Bayard reaches to grab her arm and steady her, but his pale pinked hand passes right through her elbow as if he were made of smoke. He feels his breath tighten up in his neck like a coiled snake. He tries to think of what to do next, but the chiming of the machines and the clatter of coins and all the people gathered in one place and the music playing in the background scatter his thoughts like so many leaves in the wind.

"I'll be damned. I'll be damned."

Sartorises don't cry, and as such, despite the terror that makes Bayard's throat tight and his eyes wide and glassy, he finds his way to a quieter corner of this mad world and sits down, covering his face for a moment as he tries to make sense of where he's emerged.

"Professor Callaghan? Prof—"

A horrible shrieking noise from above caught his attention and Tadashi Hamada spent his last moments of life throwing his arms up over his head as a beam (burned free from the Expo Hall ceiling) plummeted toward his head.

...Except his last moments were a lot longer that he'd expected. And suddenly very, very cold. Fresh air absent of any inferno of heat sliced into his lungs like a knife, making him cough hard enough to stagger him to his knees. The ground squelched.

"...What...?"

Tadashi wheezed through another coughing fit, staring around him in confusion. No flames. No science projects at risk of explosion. Just a cool evening in the unfamiliar suburbs.

Weird.

Once he could breathe again, Tadashi rose to his feet, brushing at the mud on the knees of his jeans. He clearly wasn't in San Fransokyo anymore – had there been a teleporter at the Showcase? He didn't think there had been, but he'd been too amped up about Hiro's presentation to really notice or care what everyone else had been doing. But teleportation this advanced would have been revolutionary in the extreme; surely he’d have heard something about it...

He just had to stay calm and work this out. Look at it from another angle until something clicked into place.
wherenoonegoes: (Hiccup helmet)
[personal profile] wherenoonegoes
Every so often, in the rare times where things were quiet on Berk, Hiccup and Toothless would take off and tear around the sky for a few hours to clear their heads. Chiefing, and Alphaing, was difficult work even for those who'd been doing it for years, and the pair's experience with either was less than optimal. The flights were their way of relaxing.

Of course, it'd be more relaxing if they weren't, according to the position of the stars in the sky, suddenly hundreds of miles away from where they were supposed to be, being chased by nine armored humanoid beings flying monstrous creatures that even Hiccup hesitated to call dragons. To top it all off, the nine were followed by a small army of shadowy creatures equally as monstrous as their mounts.

Faced with this, it wasn't surprising that Hiccup had decided to put off figuring out why he could now hear Toothless's thoughts until after he and the Night Fury were out of mortal danger.

Hiccup turned his head back to take a look at their pursuers. "Okay bud, don't panic, but I think they may actually be gaining on us."

What?! Toothless's eyes widened, How can they be gaining on us? I'm supposed to be the fastest thing up here.

"I'm sorry, but apparently you aren't."

So then, what's the plan?

Hiccup shrugged. "Way I see it is we've got one of two options. We can either try to outlast them on endurance, or turn around and take them head on. Honestly, I'm not liking our chances either way."

Well, if we're doomed no matter what, I think we should do our best to make 'em regret it.

As one, the pair turned around, Toothless's spine beginning to glow a bright, luminescent blue. They charged, the dragon firing explosive balls of plasma into the mass of ink-black terrors.

Kon had taken it on himself to welcome a lot of the new people. Part of it was he was a natural social butterfly, now finally able to flit around and meet people again after a very long time of being treated badly and being kept in isolation.

Part of it was the abject delight of being able to introduce people to Santa's Freakin' Workshop.

And part of it was because people made some pretty hilarious bewildered faces sometimes.

In any case, Kon noticed Peter when he arrived in the workshop - he was good at faces after so many missions where he'd had to memorize targets from their files - and immediately took it on himself to pop in and give him a welcome.

"Hey there, you look new. Has anyone given you the brochures?" He walked over to a nearby table near the lounge area and picked two up, handing them over.

One of them was titled, "Myth-hood and You: How to handle not being whatever species you were anymore" and the other was titled "Saving the Universe for Dummies: A handy how-to guide."

He'd worked very hard on them. The yetis had even printed off a ton of copies for him on a little printing press.

Raph wasn't a guy who went with the flow as easily as he needed to. The lessons he'd taken with Master Splinter about this only went so far for a guy who's anger is sparked like a wildfire. For the past few days, he's been oscillating between sleep and the training area to wail on training dummies in a broody fit.

He's off-balance. He's losing his focus. He's not used to being away from his family, away from his whole support network and he's not great at making a new one. This situation has thrown one fact into stark relief: he makes his best friends by beating them up. He hasn't had anyone to beat up in awhile.

He didn't feel like going back to the training room today...Somehow, he'd felt weaker than he usually did. He'd settle, right at the moment, for watching the yetis and elves in the workshop. It wasn't exactly cheering him up, but once or twice a yeti would drop a hammer on it's foot or an elf would put it's head through a drum. Good enough for a laugh, but it's not distracting him from his restlessness.

...What is distracting him is his last resort hobby: knitting. He's making a scarf. He got some weird looks from one of the elves when he asked for it, and the first person who laughs is going to be holding the yarn.

In their mouth.

There was still danger, even in this world.

As much as Sandy hated to admit it, she'd gotten swept up in the magic and wonder of Santa's workshop. Even if she was still having nightmares and found herself uncomfortable in large crowds things were so much better here that she'd gotten soft. And it had almost gotten them in trouble. 

It's not as though it was a disaster, but it could have been and that was enough for Sandy to jump back into her habit of daily work outs and training. She had to be ready for the inevitable. Someday soon the Fearlings would attack and she didn't want to die again if she could help it.

She didn't even know if she could die now, the rules were still a little hazy to her.

For now she would make due with what she had. Some training dummies were set up in one of the rooms off the main workshop and she was working with a training dagger moving as quickly as she could between them jabbing at the vital points of each mark before moving to the next.

One, two, three, four, five. A circuit of enemies that she was trying to dart between. She expected to feel weaker like she always did after dying in the arena but she didn't. She felt powerful, fast. Like a bullet.

But would it be enough? It had never been enough before. With a look of grim determination she resumed her practice, maybe she'd have to start pressing the others to learn some of their techniques like she had been doing back in Panem.

It's official: his life sucked.

Not that this was a revelation, particularly. His life had sucked, officially, for a good while now. But this kinda took the cake. Because even when the Bugle was blaming him for every that happened in New York City and when super villains were beating the crap out of him, he had least knew where the hell he was.

Right now, he definitely did not know where he was. Not New York, that's for sure.

Quaint little homes, sleepy suburbs, and not a skyscraper in sight. (Oh God, he was going to have to walk everywhere here, wasn't he? If he had to get mysteriously transported away to Who Knows Where, couldn't he at least have something to swing off of?)

But even if he really, really wanted to swing up somewhere high to get his bearings, Peter resisted the urge to put on the suit. At least as his own, very confused self, he could easily blend in while he figured out what was going on. Being Spider-man would just get him stared at. And possibly a few rocks thrown at him.

"Uh, hello?" He said, shuffling up to a nearby policewoman. (Man, it was cold here. Why couldn't he have been mysteriously transported somewhere warm?) "Hi? Um, sorry, but I am like, seriously lost and I...hello? Hello?"

The policewoman ignored him completely. And okay, it was a step up from the usual reaction of 'Let's shoot Spider-man even though he is clearly trying to help', but come on!

"Hello! I...hey!" The policewoman had spun around, striding purposefully away from him towards some idiot kid who'd had the bright idea of trying to spray-paint his name on the side of a corner shop. "What am I, a leper? Jeez..."

He tried asking the next passerby, but he just kept on walking without a glance at Peter. Same with the next one. And the one after that. And the one after that. Man, and to think he'd thought that New Yorkers had a monopoly on being rude. Fed up, he stepped right in front of the next person - if they weren't going to stop, then he was damn well going to get in their way, and...

...And they walked right through him.

For a moment Peter didn't move - he just stood there, shocked. "Oh no," he said. "Oh no, this can't...this can't be happening. I...Kitty? Kitty is this you? Oh man, please let this be you...and if it is you can you please stop because I am freaking out here..."

"Hmmmm."

Five elves, two yeti and a single small tooth fairy sprite waited with bated breath as Trixie circled around their creation slowly.

It looked simple enough from the outside. A plain cart with little decoration exactly to Trixie's specifications. She opened the door on the back to poke her head inside and made a noise of approval.

"Everything seems to be in order save for one thing." She declared and the building team stiffened with tension. 

"Cantrip, if you please~" 

The Mini fairy that had grown fond of Trixie since the Unicorn helped to rescue Toothiana saluted and flew forward seeking out a hidden button along the front of the cart. When she found it, both of her tiny hands were required to push it in but it clicked and the cart sprang to life flopping open with surprising smoothness revealing a dramatically lit stage complete with special effects equipment.

The elves and the Yeti cheered throwing their hands into the air and hugging one another as Trixie leapt deftly onto the stage and bowed tipping her hat.

"Excellent work all of you! Trixie couldn't be more pleased. A fine show pony like myself deserves only the best and you have provided!"

Focusing her magic a burst of purple shot from her horn and exploded into fireworks over their heads raining down flower petals onto the building crew who cheered and laughed and danced in the display of approval.

Trixie soaked it all up like a sponge. The audience was what she lived for and thankfully despite real magic being in such abundance around here they still seemed to appreciate Trixie's flashy stage work.

Cantrip flew around her head happily before landing on the Unicorns hat and Trixie thumped her hoof on the stage causing music to start playing. It was a time for celebration in the garage for now. Santa could keep his sleigh as far as Trixie was concerned. Her cart was her home and she finally had it back.

Kon was excited. As soon as Mikey said Manny had given the word that a woman wearing an S on their chest had showed up, he'd been psyched.

"I wonder if it's Linda. I haven't seen her in ages; she retired from superheroing a while back and dropped off the radar. Or it might be my cousin Kara. There's been a couple Supergirls."

He brought the sleigh down towards the location Manny had given, Aurora, Nevada, an abandoned ghost town. The rickety buildings that were still standing looked like they were made of driftwood, dry and lifeless.

The mission before them was simple enough - fight their way through defenses of the physical and magical sort, possibly with some riddles thrown in for good measure, in order to find a book . . . that annotated a book they already had.

Well, one could never have too much knowledge. It was a mission requiring as much muscle as magic, so Goliath understood why he had been elected for the task. That meant the young human with the snowglobe must have been there to supply the magic.

"You seem young to be a sorcerer," Goliath commented, inspecting his mission partner with curiosity, not disbelief.
