"YES. Well, at least one of us is. So, Brian made you a card." Alex scooted his chair closer and offered the card to Seth. "He really, REALLY wants you to visit El Corazon sometime - you guys bonded, huh? They're gonna throw a sleepover soon, and me and Micah got invited. Parties are fun, but I'm conflicted about the magic thing now. Did you know that Kyle and his congregation have figured out magic? Well, some. No healing spells yet, but divination and ghost repellant wards are a-go. Maybe even demon summoning. And dance can totally be used in Satanic rituals! Which reminds me: the council should discuss black magic. It's dangerous. We might be battling wizards soon. I'm reading Harry Potter, as preparation, but my mom lied. This book doesn't have any Satans in it yet. And I'm a quarter way through." He paused to take a decent breath.

Seth- "Wha-- who's Brian again? Oh... right. Dang Alex! Take it easy... what's all this about black magic? Uh, are you sure they weren't just teasing you? I'm not sure Harry Potter is the key to being a real wizard, but it sounds like it would be entertaining for you at least. "

"Entertaining? More like confusing. Nobody's learning math at Hogwarts. Do wizards just ... not need calculus? Lucky sons of guns." He considered Seth's concerns. "Maybe I'm too trusting. But the El Corazon guys used an Ouija setup during their magic ceremony. And that's exactly what Nat and me did when we summoned a ghost. It's too much of a coincidence! At the very least, we should scope out one of their parties. OH. Make me a secret agent for 403, please. Also Micah. Make him one, too."

Seth- "Well I don't think that's a bad idea. Those kids seemed friendly enough, maybe we can set up an envoy to check it out after this PanPac stuff blows over. You really think using magic could work now? I mean, the Ouija board I get, 'cause there's ghosts all around us... but other kinds of magic too?"
Joe- "Seems like a bad idea, doesn't it? I mean, that's what the mummies are supposed to have done, wasn't it?"

"Could be. But maybe there's a yin to the yang? Positive magic that the mummies haven't used because they're evil jerks? We should look for that. I say we, but I really mean you, because I'm ... not so smart."

Seth- "Aw, don't be so hard on yourself Alex. Well how about this, I leave you in charge of finding out about magic for 403. You can talk to Kyle, and look for any books you can find. Just be careful about practicing it, okay? Probably should have some witnesses just in case."

"Seth. You're wonderful. Take care." Seth- "Thanks Alex, you too."
A man on a mission, he charged from the clinic ... and returned moments later. "It was nice to meet you, Joe! If your friend wakes, please give her my good wishes." Then, Alex left for realsies.

Joe- "Yeah, man, ... OK. *wheeze*" After Alex left, he turned to Seth.Joe- "That guy is bonkers, dude."
Seth- "Aw, I think he's too sweet. So earnest! I think I was already a hard-case at that age. He's a bit wacky though, yes. Maybe it's the ZP."

A little while later, a stately Thierry appeared. By now, Kaya was back on the far side of the fence, napping, Wil had gone upstairs, and Bebe was examining unconscious Becky. Thierry- "Seth, the Pan-Pac mission is done. Would you like to hear the details?"

Seth- "Sure thing. I'm guessing by the fact that it's finished and I didn't hear the air raid sirens, it went "a'ight" ?

Thierry- "Ehh... They got Edgar Panned. Davin was bragging that he got farther than me - an ambiguous agreement to engage in unscheduled peace talks some time within a few weeks maybe. Sarah managed to get the missing nudist to show up, so she is not apparently harmed or dead. Her name is Jamie. That's as good as it gets. Patti and Tyrone don't seem to have been spotted. They were hiding in a building across the plaza. And a possible future boon is that Edgar Pan seemed to have a fondness for Jalil Kebede."
Joe- "What a mouthful."
Dr. Bebe- "Just as long as you don't start any wars on us, I think we can manage. I don't want to get a crash course in triage."
Thierry- "I'll do my best."
Seth- "Aw man... well I guess it could've been worse. We can't say we didn't try."
Thierry- "I wish we were able to do better. Davin's read is that the cops seem unhinged, Edgar is useless, and they weren't able to find out anything about the well-being of people there - except that Jamie seemed alright."
Seth- "Guess we'll have to get those new kids to fess up. They don't *look* traumatized too badly, but you never know. Maybe see if Emmett has any advice?"
Emmett- "Speak of the devil! Hi guys. Dr., is Seth OK to come for a little walk?"
Dr. Bebe- "I think so."
Emmett- "Come with me?"

Seth got out of bed like a sleepy teenager, rubbed the crust out of his eyes and tried to put on his president face. Seth- "Aw yea. It's time to walk."

Seth came back and stayed put. He received a few visitors, but as he was still probably contagious, Dr. Bebe tried to keep it to a minimum.
Columbo came to relieve Bebe for long enough to rest up - the intent was that she would stay the night. Columbo opened up Candide again.
Becky woke up a little - just as before, confused tired & unlikely to stay awake. Becky- "...m Ab-dhur, m gonna die, mm beneat bious lize, unn..."
Joe- "Becky?"
Seth- "Oh talking in her sleep again. I wonder what she's dreaming about? Something about 'abracadabra, the boys of ape' I guess. Poor thing." She collapsed again, with a weird little smile, that subsequently faded. Columbo- "What the shitting fuck, man? This crazy bitch better not die on me, or I'll catch hell for sure. The sheet is with her creepy smile?"
Joe- "She's just a smiler."
Columbo- "Joy."

Several hours later, a refreshed Dr. Bebe sent Columbo packing. By now Wil was back and Kaya was awake, chatting softly with him. Joe was asleep. Seth had just woken up from a short nap.
He noticed a stirring. Becky seemed agitated again. Dr. Bebe checked her out. Dr. Bebe- "Seth, how often has she been like this? Any signs of consciousness?"
Seth- "Oh yeah, she wakes up sometimes... last night once I think, couple three times today. Mumbling about weird stuff, dreaming I guess. It doesn't make any sense. Sometimes she smiles... Kinda spooky."
Dr. Bebe- "Smiles are never spooky, Seth." Becky smiled. Dr. Bebe- "Ugh. Nevermind."
