The Causeway: Thursday Afternoon

[toomanyofme.livejournal.com]

A group of Jamies were huddled by the causeway.

"Did we get everything?"

Preparing for a ritual that might be the key to saving the future of Fandom island.

"Mandrake root. Fur from a teal deer. Nightshade. Dried stickbugs. Is that everything?"

Then again this is Jamie Madrox we're talking about.

"Almost everything. We couldn't get a live chicken."

"What did we get as a replacement?"

"The ten piece chicken meal from Il Pollo."

The Lannisters don't have anything to worry about.

[For anyone who wants to see Jamie totally blow a magic spell. Open.]

Princess Pinkie Pie was on her usual afternoon flight about town when she spotted the nice little group activity happening down by the Causeway. As it was her duty to promote all things Friendship, she came in for a (slightly awkward, she wasn't born with these wings, you know!) landing in a cloud of magic glitter, then came trotting over to have a look.

"Hihihi," she greeted, with at least one "hi" for every duplicate. "Hihi. Hi! Hiya! Hi! Whatcha doin'?"

[toomanyofme.livejournal.com]

Jamie's first reaction to seeing a pink flying talking unicorn was that he was shocked. Which meant he did a quick intake of breath due to that shock.

Which meant he inhaled part of that cloud of glitter.

"Hi!" Jamie said after he coughed a few times. "We're doing a spell to help protect the future of Fandom Island-"

Jamie was interrupted by his duplicates who briefly held up a fist of solidarity and chanted "Campfire!"

"-of Fandom Island. I'm Jamie Madrox, by the way. Mutant and disciple of Dr. Strange. May I ask who you are?"

[locointhecoco]

"It's nice to meet you!" Pinkie peered at the Jamies with one eye wide open and the other squinched nearly shut. All humans pretty much looked alike, but these guys were super-duper identical.

It was downright uncanny.

"I'm Princess Pinkamena Diane Pie of Equestria," she said. "Disciple oooooffffff. . . ." What did "disciple" mean, again? "Princess Celestia?" Eh, what would a human know about it, anyway? "What's a mutant? I thought you looked like a human, but then, when I first got here, I thought humans were all hairless bears, so."

[toomanyofme.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'm like human/hairless bear but in the next evolutionary step up so I have powers. Mine is to duplicate myself through kinetic energy," Jamie explained. "Now I have to ask... I've never met a talking unicorn-winged-pony before. Is everyone like that in Equestria?"

Denna found herself bored, not that she enjoyed teaching the brats on the version of the island she'd come from, but it had at least filled the hours, and there was nothing to occupy herself with here, especially since she hadn't seen Jim (luckily for him) again.

Which was how she came to be watching the Jamies. Maybe they'd blow themselves up and provide some entertainment.

[toomanyofme.livejournal.com]

Well at least Denna didn't create a cloud of glitter when she arrived.

"Hi!" Jamie said cheerfully. "I'm Jamie Madrox. Time stranded student from the future. We're just working on a spell to save the future."

[noredemption4u.livejournal.com]

"Are you now?" Denna managed to contain her scepticism. Barely. "You don't look like a wizard."

Wizards tended to go for the whole robe look back in D'Hara.

[toomanyofme.livejournal.com]

"Well I don't look good in a pointy hat and I always trip over my robe," Jamie said with a shrug. "And who might you be?"

Before the Spell!

[toomanyofme.livejournal.com]

Just in case anyone wants to catch Jamie before the spell. Threads above can stay where they are. Sorry! Been a long time and forgot about OOC threads. OOPS!

"A bucket of chicken, Madrox?"

Of course Warren was here. Where else would he be, but standing back with his arms crossed over his chest, waiting to see just how horribly this was going to go?

Re: Before the Spell!

[toomanyofme.livejournal.com]

Jeez, Warren. It's like you read the OOC comments before you even showed up!

"Oh, what could go wrong?" Jamie said with a dismissive wave of his hand. "Chicken is chicken."

Re: Before the Spell!

[peace_n_war]

Either that, or he'd met Madrox!

"How far back do you suppose the ancient practice of sacrificing breaded, deep-fried chicken goes?"

Warren? Being a smartass? Never.

The Spell is Cast!

[toomanyofme.livejournal.com]

After ending a debate regarding the quality of reagents, the duplicates all form a circle around Jamie. Then all of them sat down into the lotus position and began to chant...

"BY THE LIGHT OF THE ALL SEEING EYE OF AGAMOTTO!
BY THE MIGHTY WINDS OF WATOOMB!
BY THE CRIMSON BANDS OF CYTTORAK!
BY THE SHIELD OF THE SERAPHIM!
WE BESEECH THE POWERS THAT BE TO BLOCK THE ENTRANCE OF ALL LANNISTERS FROM NOW UNTIL ETERNITY!!
ADELA! ADELA KAZEEM!!!"

And then there was a mighty BOOM! And a puff of smoke!!!

And the spell failed. Probably because Jamie was an idiot to try and combine those spells. Also probably because he used the combo meal from Il Pollo instead of a real chicken.

As a result a third of the Jamies were turned into chihuahuas. Another third couldn't stop belching. And the other third had excessive flatulence.

Yep. Complete failure.

Re: The Spell is Cast!

[noredemption4u.livejournal.com]

Denna clapped. Slowly.

She was impressed, really she was.

Re: The Spell is Cast!

[toomanyofme.livejournal.com]

One of the Jamie-chihuahuas trotted over and barked at the slow clap.

Hey! Spellcasting is hard work. At least he tried!

Re: The Spell is Cast!

[locointhecoco]

"Huh," Pinkie said, observing the chuhuahuas and the burping and the farting. "What a weird spell."

Re: The Spell is Cast!

[toomanyofme.livejournal.com]

"It was supposed to block some nasty people coming on the island in the future," Jamie explained. "Buuuurruup! Excuse me. I must have done something wrong."

You think so, Jamie?

Re: The Spell is Cast!

[peace_n_war]

"I am not cleaning up after... any of you."

Campfire in action, folks.

Re: The Spell is Cast!

[toomanyofme.livejournal.com]

"Hey! I thought we were a team" Jamie complained.

OOC:

[toomanyofme.livejournal.com]

Yep. Forgot the OOC. But the world did not end. Woot.
