Masks 2

Maria put the mind control charm in her jacket pocket, and zipped it up. "Probably won't need it, I'll save that one in case we run into a friend on the way."

Right, listening, learning, shaking her head to herself. These sounded nothing like the things they encountered last time. Not much handy advice she could give on those bad boys, sorry Candy. But...

"... It's Siren. Pretty sure she swam from here to DC in a few hours once. If you're in water enough to warrant diving gear, pretty sure you're screwed. If it comes to us being in the splash zone, we might do better close enough that I can keep us in a more even playing field. And if we're in that, then I promise, you're not going to drown." Had an awful lot of practice taking water out of lungs, after all. "Not sure 'getting rid of' her is an option either. There's some... Funky stuff under this city. And it doesn't sound like what we've heard. That says to me that this is only going to get weirder, and that kinda weird only answered to a weapon that... She had. Gonna have to be on our toes... And listen good to Theraea."

Wasn't like Siren was the only bright eyed, bushy tailed hero to lose some shine. But fuck if anyone took that much of a nose-dive naturally, under these circumstances. Hurk.
