Circe's Manor THE NEXT

[AmbushCat]

Abby: *shakes her head* Not what I meant. I heard that in the far past, she used to be some motorcycle-riding, raised-by-wolves, good-natured hero-type guy. Then magic happened, he was turned into Circe, the original guy was split off of her somehow, and the rest is history. *looks at Penny* Anything I'm missing?

[Ookalf]

"Yep!"

Great, then let's go. *She leads Kara out of the mansion and out to the garage which unsurprisingly, considering this is Circe's Manor, is probably bigger than it strictly needs to be. Though there are several cars there, she immediately gets behind the wheel of a green Camaro.* Hop on in, uh... What's-your-face.

*enters and looks around, nodding in approval* Nice place. It occurred to me that there might not be any bowling shoes that'll fit these feet, so is it okay if I go without?

*A maid stationed at a nearby concession booth overhears this and laughs.* You realize you're talking to the queen of overdoing things, right? There are probably shoes here in sizes that don't even exist... *At this point she notices Circe glaring at her and quietly returns to minding her own business.*

...Well, she's not exactly wrong. You sure you don't want to look anyway?

No, I think you basically got it. I mean, there was a thing where she didn't look the way she does now at first, but I dunno if that's really important...

"I'm...Kara." She stated, almost forgetting her new name. She hopped into the passenger seat.

"Sure!" Marie looks determined. It's kind of a silly look for her.

Dan keeps on nodding as the maids explain, "Ahh, oh yes, she did say she was only nine years old-- erm, came into existence nine years ago..." It still took him a bit of guard that Circe had split off a guy and such... Maybe that could partly explain why she used to like turning men into maids for fun?..
"Oh? What did she look like before then?", he asks with a genuine interest.

*looks down at her feet for a moment* ...Eh, I think I'll manage, but thanks for the offer.

Abby: Sorta like what would happen if you crossed "goth" with "witch", with a dash of "adorable".

[xGoggles]

"Oh wow really? Adorable? Guess that is quite different, ya.. Kinda hard to imagine, heheh... Wish I could see how she looked like back then", he says wondering out loud, not even realizing he accidentally made a wish.

[Ookalf]

"I'm...Kara." She stated, almost forgetting her new name. She hopped into the passenger seat.

Nice name. For the record, you can call me Heather. Now let's go! *As soon as Kara's in the car, Heather revs it up and drives away.*

(I'm thinking of splitting this off into a separate thread, so keep an eye out for that.)

"Sure!" Marie looks determined. It's kind of a silly look for her.

*Denise nods and makes some adjustments to her device before firing at Marie again. The beam this time is red, and the impact leaves Marie quite cute indeed.*

*looks down at her feet for a moment* ...Eh, I think I'll manage, but thanks for the offer.

*Circe shrugs.* Suit yourself. As for me, I'm not really in the mood to try bowling in heels. You go ahead and grab us a lane - I'll meet up with you in a minute. *Circe then walks away to get a proper pair of shoes.*

*After making that wish, Dan reverts to her genie form, and she hears her phone buzzing...* Is something up there?

(Aye aye!)

Kara relaxes as Heather drives, she actually starts to doze off a little.

Danaye yelps, flinching that she suddenly turned back to genie-form for some reason, "Ah~! W-What happened?... Huh?" She blinks hearing her phone buzzing, taking it out of her bag, maybe it would give an answer for her sudden change.

*Zapana nods, selecting the alley's fifth lane and grabbing a yellow/green bowling ball while she waits.*

Marie blinkblinks, looking up and around briefly. "Waah! Everything's huge! My voice sounds like helium!" She waves her arms frantically up and down while making a ">_<" face.

*Danaye discovers that she has one new text message, from an unknown sender. The message reads "Your wish has been granted," and attached is an image depicting what appears to be a young witch.*

*Zapana nods, selecting the alley's fifth lane and grabbing a yellow/green bowling ball while she waits.*

*Circe comes back just a couple minutes later, now wearing bowling shoes, and grabs a purple ball for herself.* I'm back. You ready to bowl?

Marie blinkblinks, looking up and around briefly. "Waah! Everything's huge! My voice sounds like helium!" She waves her arms frantically up and down while making a ">_<" face.

And you appear to a fair bit more energetic as well. All known and expected effects of red energy... *Denise jots down a couple of notes before continuing.* Shall I reverse this transformation now?

[Whatevr89532]

"Oh, r-red...I knew that.." Marie taps her index fingers together, blushing in embarrassment. "Yes, please!"

[xGoggles]

"My wish has been what..?", she stares confused at the text message. Then she looks at the attached image and it all became clear. "Oh, whoops, I see now, I kind of wished for it, didn't I?"
She begins to smile a bit, that picture of little Circe was actually kind of adorable, if not a little creepy too.
