[Oh look, a scene smack-dab in the middle of Victorian England! It's focused on the people wandering around, because suddenly the Robin uniform is looking way too frilly and dress-like, and there's no way she's showing that off. That just won't fly

B) VIDYA FOREVER

[B( Has been poking around SO CONFUSED, too.]

It feels like magic. [BEAT. He's going to let that shove slide, Ms Frilly Pants.] I mean, it is magic. But not anything that's native to any of the dimensions the Rock of Eternity can access.

VOICE FOREVER

[girlyboywonder]

Mostly I figured it wasn't science.

[a pause]

...Rock of Eternity?

[mightymortal]

Well- I mean, it could have been! What about brainwashing? Or illusions? Those aren't always magical in nature.

[;; why you always rainin' on his parade, snarky robin]

Ummm... it's kinda complicated? It's pretty much a magical fortress that acts as a nexus of power, channeling the primal godwave and a few different Lords of Magic. It's how I accessed my powers before I got here, until the Porter gave me the ability to do it on my own. Since it exists outside of the realm of reality it should be able to access all other dimensions... but this place is an exception.

[girlyboywonder]

Yeah, maybe. [HALF-CONCEDING... THIS POINT TO YOU... possibly.]

Oh. So it's your battery?

[mightymortal]

[B) HE'LL TAKE THAT VICTORY. And also perk up a little bit.] Actually, that's not a bad way of putting it, I guess.

But-- yeah. I'm not sure who the spell originates from. ... erm, or why.

[girlyboywonder]

Any way of tracking it? Don't figure it'd matter much, but I am curious.

[mightymortal]

Hmm... I'll have to come take a closer look and see if Solomon has any ideas.

[GUESS WHO IS ZOOMING TO YOUR LOCATION NOW super-speeders everywhere, what is your life Robin]

[girlyboywonder]

[NO UGH FLINCHING AND LOOKING STARTLED AND THEN IMMEDIATELY DISPLEASED WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO HER]

Could give a little warning, spud.

[mightymortal]

[ldsaflkjewa at least Cap looks all apologetic and chastised?] Sorry. I thought I did.... [WAIT.

Yeah, now that he's stopped long enough he can fully appreciate the costume change. Cap isn't snickerng, but that's only because of his sheer determination to be polite at all times forever.] U-um.

So it looks like a big portion of the City is like this, weird.

[B) Yeah, good cover.]

[girlyboywonder]

[just so much frowning and disgruntled tugging at these weird poofy short-things... HE'D BETTER NOT SNICKER, BECAUSE SHE'S NOT AFRAID OF completely ineffectual PUNCH-THROWING.]

Yeah, good chunk of it. All the buildings're changed too, so it's not just makeover.

[mightymortal]

Hmm.. [He studies their surroundings intently for a second, before squinting at her totally not hilarious outfit.] I think it's the work of one person, not several. [WELL. That was useless.] He's probably still inside the affected area. [Beat.] Or she.

[girlyboywonder]

[UNIMPRESSED STARE. B| jeez come on can't you do better than that.]

What, no magic bloodhound?

[mightymortal]

[HE ALMOST STICKS OUT HIS TONGUE AT HER. Almost. B(] Why, do you guys have, um, robot bloodhounds for when people do weird stuff with science?

[girlyboywonder]

No. We got forensics. [ARMS CROSSED COME ON CAP JEEZ. PULL SOME MAGICAL CURE-ALL OUT OF SOME hidden crevice... or something.]

[mightymortal]

Well- well fine, then we've got divining and scrying, but.... [;; sob stop being so disappointed in him tiny robin] Spell weaving isn't really my area, I'm more. Um. [holds up fists lamely to demonstrate] The guy that hits things.

[girlyboywonder]

[THERE'S A FEW SECONDS MORE OF HEAVY SCRUTINY.... then she breaks it off with a shrug and a half a smile.]

Oh, well. You tried. Figure that's probably more Zatanna, anyway.
