Horror Three: Building a Bomb

[childofwoe]

 [A young girl and a woman with a cane are taking apart your car. Yes, yours. Are you going to yell at them? Ask what the hell they are doing? Chase them away with a stick? We'll you might want to do something soon if you want to keep your car intact.

[Wednesday remains silent.]

And I need my car. [well that's not necessarily true, but there are very important items in there that he'd lose if it reset. And since it's not in his driveway, he doesn't have easy access carrying it back.]

[His voice is calm. He's going to try reasoning first.]

There is an auto shop downtown. I'm quite certain you can find parts and unused cars there.

There's also drones there. She's a child [she indicates Wednesday] and this town has it in its head that I'm a woman when that's only half true. Unless you'd like to assist us and run an errand~?

[is-childofwoe.livejournal.com]

They won't let us in.

[anguiscantus.livejournal.com]

[Yes, of course. Because after walking up to find parts of his car being stolen, he's totally going to want to assist.]

Then I'm sorry for your troubles, but that is no reason to take my car apart. There are others, those not droned working at the auto shop as well as a used car lot. If you truly feel the urge to commit auto theft, then you should try the car lot at night.

You're no fun at all, you know.

[She huffs, but turns to walk away.]

This isn't worth arguing; there's plenty other cars.

[is-childofwoe.livejournal.com]

Alright.

[anguiscantus.livejournal.com]

Heh, so I've been told.

[He waits for them to start walking away, before raising his vibe just enough to use his abilities.

With an outstretched arm, he quietly mutters--] Time be still.

[And time does indeed momentarily stop. Only long enough to take back any parts of his car they might have tried to walk away with and return to his car.]

[Theta, of course, notices nothing amiss with the flow of time, frozen perfectly in place. He'll find, however, that their collection of parts doesn't include anything from his. She'd disconnected plenty, but when he showed up to put a stop to it, she dutifully left everything in place.]
