i'm just that fascinating i guess

The first day Bella spends out and about with her new who's-watching-me powers, she is rather alarmed.

Maybe she's just mistaken about how much time people spend looking at reasonably pretty eighteen-year-old girls. She kills a pentagon to try it on a nearby control - who's looking at that girl over there?

Fewer people. Fewer people are looking at that random girl, and less intently. They're looking at her familiarly - they know her - or casually - they're checking her out.

[I have a spy problem,] Bella says. She makes a faintly exaggerated show of snapping her fingers in frustration and turning around. She's going back to her room to get a mirror and bobby pins and barettes, so she can spy back on the pretense of checking her hair, without making it overwhelmingly obvious that she knows what's going on.
nonbird: (8. nor little nor a bird)

[Is there anything specific you'd rather I didn't tell him?]
nonbird: (9. that's how it is)

[personal profile] nonbird 2012-11-09 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[There is no calming him down without telling him everything,] says Lazarus.
nonbird: (a. well hmm)

[personal profile] nonbird 2012-11-09 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[All right,] sighs Lazarus.

And a moment later: [Kolya? It's me.]

The third party to the call yelps wordlessly.

[Yes, I know, magic mental phone,] says Lazarus. [It's very weird. I'm with you there.]

[Where are you,] says a quiet, woeful voice presumably belonging to Kolya.

[Well, I'm not sure,] Lazarus admits. [But I'm more or less safe for the moment. And it's not Bella's fault, exactly.]

[You're so reassuring,] sniffs Kolya. [How is it inexactly her fault?]

[Kind of a long story,] says Lazarus.
nonbird: (e. something is wrong here)

[personal profile] nonbird 2012-11-09 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh,] says Kolya.

[Sorry,] says Lazarus.

[Don't you be sorry. You didn't kidnap yourself,] Kolya admonishes. [Who was it? Was it the creepy witch lady? I bet it was the creepy witch lady.]

[...As far as I know, it wasn't Chris,] says Lazarus. [But currently that is not very far at all.]
nonbird: (c. excusez-moi?)

[personal profile] nonbird 2012-11-09 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[That sounds bad,] says Kolya.

[Better than them not wanting me alive,] says Lazarus.

[That's not saying much!]
nonbird: (6. proving more intricate)

[personal profile] nonbird 2012-11-09 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[I can do that,] says Kolya, sounding less sniffly and more somewhere between resigned and determined.

[Make sure you pack everything you might need,] Lazarus says anxiously. [I mean it.]

[Okay,] says Kolya. [Don't worry, I will.]
nonbird: (a. well hmm)

[personal profile] nonbird 2012-11-09 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Day,] says Lazarus. [No writing on the boxes, but the emergency exit signs are in English. Temperature's a little cold, I can't tell about climate control but I'm guessing no. No audible wildlife. Maybe some traffic? But not close. So I guess I'm not that far from home. I could even still be in Toronto. ...I can think of a way you could locate me more precisely, but I'm not sure you'd like it.]
nonbird: (b. contemplative gaze)

[personal profile] nonbird 2012-11-09 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It turns out the watch is in New York City.

[Well, I can see magic,] he says. [So if you just made a line of magic over the surface of the Earth, and moved it around, I could see when it got to me. Repeat at different angles for triangulation. Did yours work?]
nonbird: (e. something is wrong here)

[personal profile] nonbird 2012-11-09 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[I am not sure what to do with that information,] he says. [But it's good to know, I guess.]
nonbird: (2. a baker's dozen)

[personal profile] nonbird 2012-11-09 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[No, I'm fine,] says Kolya. [Still not kidnapped.]

He does sound much better now.
nonbird: (6. proving more intricate)

[personal profile] nonbird 2012-11-09 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not on our account, I don't think,] says Lazarus. Kolya makes an agreeing noise.
nonbird: (7. I've got a theory)

[personal profile] nonbird 2012-11-09 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[I've been a little distracted,] he admits. [Nothing major so far. It's very... boxy. I hypothesize that whoever made it wanted to be really, really sure I didn't get un-yoinked, and the other anti-magic warding is more of an afterthought.]
