Caritas, Saturday Evening

[newroutines]

There was a plastic fish on the bar at Caritas today.

Mike did not know why.

Tino did not appear to know why.

The zombie band... were apparently intent on covering Bowie tonight, and didn't care about the mysterious plastic fish, where it was, or where it had come from.

Just your regular night at Caritas, folks.

[ooc: Open, no ocd for I am still tired.]

"Cool fish," Magnus said, taking a seat at the bar. Because he was gonna be a social boy this week. He totally was.

[newroutines]

"Thanks," Mike said. Because what else was he supposed to say? "Don't know what the fuck it's doing here, but good to hear it's not bringing the place down or anything."

[magnusrushesin]

"Is it magic?" Magnus asked, squinting at the thing. He had literally nothing in arcana to check that shit out, so. "Maybe it's a magic fish that grants wishes."

[newroutines]

Mike paused to consider the fish.

It did not look magic.

So he shook his head. "I don't think so, man," he said. "I mean, for one thing, this is Fandom. So the odds of it being useful like that..."

[magnusrushesin]

"But it could be a monkey's paw situation," Magnus pointed out. "Which would totally track here."

[newroutines]

"That's kinda why I said useful," Mike retorted. "But thanks, man, you've sorta made me afraid to deal with it, now."

Though that wasn't a huge loss, by any means. Because he hadn't been intending to touch it in the first place. Because Fandom.

"That's okay, I have plenty of experience in the disposal of super powerful and dangerous artifacts," Magnus said cheerfully.

[newroutines]

"Well, you touch it, then."

Absolutely nothing was going to happen. Probably. But dammit, Mike was worried all the same!

[magnusrushesin]

"Alright, I will!" And, as the username said, rushed on into that. "Well, there's no voice telling me that I should stab you and keep it for myself, so that's good."

[newroutines]

Mike paused.

It went on a little long.

"... Okay, did not think that was even on the table."

[magnusrushesin]

"It's cool, I'm super good at resisting that. Last time it asked me if I wanted to live forever and I told it to fuck off because that sounds awful, right?" Magnus, why are you like this?
