That is a promising look! "Whatcha got there?"

Beeeeam.

"Loads of stuff from my uncle's joke shop. Take a look!"

James starts to pull things out from the box.

"Alphanumeric! Major! ...What are they?"

"There are all sorts of things. Each one of them has a different function. These -" He picks up a small colourful box "- are sort of like self-contained fireworks, for example."

Then there are fake wands, trick quills, Skiving Snackboxes, and the like.

Enzo examines each item intently as it's explained.

"D'you think there's anything I could use on DOStin?" he asks conspiratorially. "I could order it through you. I can digitize stuff to take to my world, but we don't use wands and stuff at home."

"Oh, right."

Sometimes he forgets that Enzo's from a computer.

"Yeah - um. What did you have in mind, exactly?"

"I dunno." Something suitable for a fellow student that isn't dependent on the specifics of James' culture. "I bet I'll know it when I see it."

"Fair enough," says James.

He starts to show him what some of the objects do, from Headless Hats (makes the wearer's head invisible) and Hiccough Sweets (makes the victim hiccough), to Canary Creams (eat it and it turns the victim into a canary), to the Punching Telescope (which does exactly what it says).

Enzo waves aside the hats (doesn't matter what kind of hat, he can't see DOStin deviating one pixel from the official uniform) and the telescope (not really Guardian-type equipment). He gives the candies careful consideration, "but I bet he doesn't eat anything but the healthy junk in the cafeteria. He acts like he's all Guardian code."

He ponders this. "You could always put some of it into his food," he suggests.

He opens up a Skiving Snackbox. "These are usually used for students to get out of classes or something, but it doesn't mean they won't work for professors - or prefect."

Enzo shakes his head. "Not if he's s'posed to think it's real. Guardians don't get sick. It might not even work on him."

Hmm.

"Maybe wizard pranks just don't work on Guardians. They're just too...I dunno, different. The biology or whatever."

"Or the stuff we use," he agrees. "But there might be something. Hellboy taught me a spell me an' Dani're gonna try on him." He grins. "It's to make stuff glow in the dark."

Yeah. He isn't going to rule anything out just yet. During the holidays, he'll pay a visit to his uncle's shop.

"Is Hellboy a wizard?"

"Nah, he's a demon," Enzo replies cheerfully. "But he knows a lot about magic and monsters and stuff."

"A demon?" If he sounds impressed, that would be because he is. "So cool! I didn't know they were real - and that they knew about magic."
