(Something Borrowed) Special Delivery

[Star]

Thank the Seers for rampant retail.

Most of the mages he knew let their principles slide when it came to coffee. Him? Twenty-four hour stores. It's all part of Their Plan. Buy this, buy that, the shackles of debt and conditioning to Keep Up With The Joneses.

The cold air of the store had woken him up. He'd almost fallen asleep. The droning of the car, the buzzing of words. It was so past bedtime. But not yet. In the newly aquired plastic, yes plastic not paper save the trees, bag was an assortment of scissors, razors, and clippers. And quart sized Zip-loc freezer bags. Don't forget the bags. Okay, he'd forgotten the bags, but he'd gone back and gotten them before leaving so it Didn't Really Count.

Stepping out, he waited for the car to swing back around and pick him up. That's the plan. Step one: Drop the Phantasm. Presto, the car was a different car, and any blood on it shattered and left behind with the forgotten threads of the illusion. Step two: Drop off and Drive. Keep the car in motion, doing circuits around the parking lot.

By now, they'd have covered Bonnie with the coat he'd left behind. Soon, they'd move on to the Next Part of The Plan.

Planning, yo. It's A Thing.

Avis owned a van, but that didn't mean she was a good driver. It was something she was working on, but, well, she just put her time into other areas. Transportation was kind of a non-issue for her, after all, or eventually it would be. Hence why she stayed in the back with Bonnie. Downside of that was, well, sitting next to a bleeding, unconscious woman. Upside was being free to be on lookout.

"Hey, I think I see him," she called to Asp, pointing towards the loveable mop as it emerged into the parking lot.

[Xander]

Bonnie wasn't bleeding.... much. Part of the stabilization process was partially healing the wounds, not enough to wake her up, but just enough to prevent further blood loss and the possibility of the loss of her life. Didn't change the fact she had already oozed out a fair amount before the stabilization though. A bit of it was on Avis's shoulder, and just a small amount had rubbed off on the seat she was now resting on and the coat covering her.

As Avis points Star out to Asp, the First Talon feels a spell lift from the Fallen World. Almost immediately a thud and a "FU-" could be heard from the trunk.

It's been about 15 minutes, and it's just after 2 am right now. The car is about 15 yards away from Star and the entrance to the store for the sake of reference.

[Star]

Man, who forgot to buy Gatorade.

Should have gotten a drink at the bar, yo.

Welp, I guess 10 days is enough waiting. Star holds, because I don't think he can perceive anything amiss. Please correct me if I'm wrong Xander

[Xander]

Asp, upon hearing the voice in the trunk, brings the vehicle to a stop and pulls the emergency brake.

Meanwhile at the other end of the vehicle, Suit fumbles in the dark. Someth-no-Someone was laying next to him in the dark space, and the shift from the sudden stop with the sound of brakes made it clear enough where he was. In an experimental move, he feels in the opposite direction of where he was pulled, and reaches out to the Supernal. As a link is established, the trunk flies open. His eyes squint, but they don't have time to adjust much before Suit starts trying to climb out the car.

Ghosting Asp this round to bring the vehicle to a stop. Star sees the car stop and trunk open, knows who was inside, and is 10 yards away.
