Magic Box | Tuesday

Ah, it was finally October. Time for Wanda to keep doing what she had been doing since August: Decorating for Halloween.

Today it was putting up orange and purple streamers. She had a soul playlist going from her computer, and was humming along to the songs under her breath as she was on the ladder hanging up the streamers.

Steve was around on a Tuesday for once, so he walked down to say hello to Wanda, two predictable holiday coffees in hand.

"Is the dinosaur getting bigger or am I just being paranoid?" he teased.
scarlet_chaos: berks ([pos] you're sweet)

"You're paranoid," Wanda joked, looking down at him. "Despite how it looks in here there's nothing to be afraid of."
heroic_jawline: (neu: intent listening)

"That's what they always say in scary movies right before something jumps out from behind a bookcase with a machete," Steve said.
scarlet_chaos: ([pos] normal)

[personal profile] scarlet_chaos 2021-10-05 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"I think you're perfectly equipped to handle some guy with a machete," Wanda said, climbing down the ladder.
heroic_jawline: (pos: grubby and adorbs)

[personal profile] heroic_jawline 2021-10-05 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Steve laughed. "Well, maybe, but I don't want to cause you any property damage."

Shields were hell on walls.
scarlet_chaos: ([pos] telling you what's what)

[personal profile] scarlet_chaos 2021-10-05 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"I think I'll forgive it if you got rid of machete guy for me," Wanda said with a smile. "How have you been?"

"Well, I spent the weekend as a jerk who went by the name of Ransom," Steve said a little dryly, "and Tony ran into a version of me he calls Sad Beard Steve. It's been...odd."
scarlet_chaos: ([pos] did not work out great)

[personal profile] scarlet_chaos 2021-10-05 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Bearded you is familiar." Though Wanda didn't think him 'sad' so much as 'extremely distracted and busy'. "And who names their child Ransom?"

Douches, but Steve was too nice to use that word. "It was definitely a choice," Steve said. "How have you been?"
scarlet_chaos: ([pos] see you)

[personal profile] scarlet_chaos 2021-10-05 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Better than you, apparently," she said with a smirk. "I didn't even notice anything was going on all weekend, I was so focused on studying."

Probably a good thing. She had enough AU's lately.
heroic_jawline: (pos: so entertained)

[personal profile] heroic_jawline 2021-10-05 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"What are you working on?" Steve asked.
scarlet_chaos: ([pos] yeah that sucks)

[personal profile] scarlet_chaos 2021-10-05 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Magic," she replied. "I acquired a book called the Darkhold from another witch."

Sure, acquired, we'll use that word.

"It's, uh, also called the Book of the Damned." Fun, right?
heroic_jawline: (neg: my blue shirt and I judge you tony)

Steve's eyebrows shot up. "Really. Does it also say 'do not open' on the front?"
scarlet_chaos: ([pos] dreamy)

[personal profile] scarlet_chaos 2021-10-05 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Wanda laughed. "No. I'm being careful with it. Just has a lot of information that could be useful."

A whole chapter dedicated to her, even!

"Okay," Steve said, smiling. "I trust you. Is there someone you can call if things go south?"
scarlet_chaos: ([pos] boom roasted)

[personal profile] scarlet_chaos 2021-10-05 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Uh, kind of?" She was sure Dr. Strange could help her with some stuff. "I mean, I do know a guy that's really into that sort of stuff. I'm sure he'd help."

Or make things worse. Either/or.

Steve looked earnestly pleased to hear that. "Good. It's always nice to have a contingency plan, you know?"

Tony had rubbed off on him.
scarlet_chaos: ([pos] soft)

[personal profile] scarlet_chaos 2021-10-05 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I get it," she said. "I do know how to put up protection wards around now, so that helps keep things safe."

In theory.

"I figure learning more could only help, you know?"

"I'm definitely in favor of more knowledge," Steve said, nodding. "For instance, I'm only certain about the uses for maybe...five things in this store. And one of them's the cash register."
scarlet_chaos: ([pos] oh you)

[personal profile] scarlet_chaos 2021-10-05 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll be honest, I may know the uses of, like, eight things in here," Wanda joked. "I have a new employee who seems to be way ahead of me magic-wise."
heroic_jawline: (pos: yay i did good)

[personal profile] heroic_jawline 2021-10-05 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"So the stock is covering different forms of the same religion?" Steve asked. "This is Baptist witch stuff and you're Catholic?"
scarlet_chaos: ([pos] boom roasted)

[personal profile] scarlet_chaos 2021-10-05 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Pretty much," she said. "Not a surprise, since this is some sort of nexus of the universe. Of course there'd be different kinds of magic."

"Is there an encyclopedia for it all or something?" Steve asked.
scarlet_chaos: (Default)

[personal profile] scarlet_chaos 2021-10-05 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"If there is I haven't seen it," she said. "But there are a lot of boxes in the back I never opened, so who knows?"

"With any luck, it'll be written in English and not ancient Egyptian, too," Steve said helpfully.
