Margaret Peregrine is a high school sophomore. Most of the time, she's either at school, at the school robotics club, at the school chess club, or doing schoolwork. Today, she's cleaning out her late great-grandmother's attic.
And now she has a proper invisibility item, except for the durability and the not being jewelry. Have any of her earlier enchantments worn off or degraded at all?
Sweet. She puts the invisibility rock in her backpack when she next goes to Dungeons and Dragons. What bizzare challenges will Xavier throw at them next?
That's seriously cool whether it has anything to do with the cultists plot or not. Also she should totally make a breathing-underwater artifact, someday when she's learned a lot more and also gotten an online reputation for reliable artifacts going.
This dungeon has some neat traps. The one that starts up a vortex in the water to trap people is especially tricky and interesting.
Well hang on, what is this thing? Because a lot of people seem to be after it, and if it's a bomb or the key to release a sealed horror or something then maybe even its probable rightful owner needs to end up disappointed.
On the one hand, that's ominous. On the other hand, that's metagaming. And maaaaybe it's just really pretty jewels in a really secure jewelry box. What sort of person is this probable rightful owner presenting themself as?
Well, if she isn't actively pursuing it, then she probably isn't planning to use it to unseal any horrors right this minute. Margaret's character votes to bring it to her.
And Margaret catches up with Brenda on the way out again. "Can I show you something?"
Margaret fishes the rock out of her backpack. "I have an invisibility rock! When I say the activation word I'll turn invisible without having to incant anything."
"Really really!" She murmurs. "Let me make sure I won't startle anyone--" is anybody else on this sidewalk if she looks around?
They all know magic is a thing, of course, but she doesn't want awkward questions from strangers. She steps into an alley between two houses to be marginally less obvious.
"I feel weird disappearing in front of people," she says, followed by "cacher".
"If it was in English, I'd have to be careful not to say the word "hide" or "stop" in conversation while I was touching it or I'd go visible or invisible by accident. One less thing to worry about if it's in French."
