It's been a few days since Laura got out the hospital, and nothing important or interesting has happened. Except for Theo and Sadde having just captured a new card, Glow, though that's debatably quite boring. Theo turns to Sadde, as though she might have the answers. "Okay, seriously, a card that glows? First it's wind, then it's a huge bird, then you have a blue lizard, there's a bloody Easter bunny, then a shadow, then a sword, and now a card that glows?"
Tyler is still not very inclined to talk, though he'll respond if he's specifically asked something.
Theo and Willow will get quite a lot of talking done then, supposes Theo.
And then they get to one of the houses! He rings the doorbell and waits for a response.
"Hi there," says Theo. "This is about your twin. I don't know if you knew, but, well, I didn't have one until earlier today, and you… well, you didn't until then either, and then recently he disappeared, and we'd really love not to leave him dead."
Was that a bit much? It might well have been a bit much.
In that case, Theo will look at Willow and Juniper, seeing as they presumably know about this situation and he doesn't.
"And he," she gestures at the boy standing at the door, "is a Catholic and suicide is illegal or something."
"Ah, okay," he says.
Well, this is awkward, and Theo has no idea what to do. He doesn't have proper experience with… either of those things, at least not in a way that would probably help, so, yeah.
Tyler: standing in the background, not glaring at anyone, not thinking about how he wants to hurt certain people, not even stabbing anyone.
Shocking, isn't it.
"I think it's, er, your choice, then? Since he. Is kinda you," Sadde says.
"He is—was—different," the boy says, helplessly.
"Well, yes, that's what the Twin does—" The boy grimaces. "...do you want to just forget magic exists and for us to go away," Sadde asks/states.
"Yes, please," the boy replies, looking relieved that someone else suggested it.
Okay, well… they can just go away in that case.
To the second person's house?
To the second person's house!
Sadde will resume waiting for Tyler to have an emotional breakdown.
Tyler: still not seeming inclined to actually have an emotional breakdown, at least not anywhere he might be seen.
Then they get to the second person's house and Theo rings the doorbell, as before.
Yes, hello, we're just a huge mass of people including two sets of twins, hi there, no, we're not selling anything, no, we're not offering you a copy of some holy book, yes, we are here to talk about magic.
Great sales pitch or whatever. He hopes he doesn't have to put it to use.
And lo, the door opens with a somewhat familiar face on the other side! "Uh, hi?" asks Jess, frowning at the collection of people. "I didn't know you… had a twin, Theo?"
"Uh, yeah, long story," he says, looking behind himself at Juniper and then back. "Juniper and Willow didn't find you earlier, then?"
"Uh, nnn–" she starts. "Oh, is this about that thing you messaged me earlier? Some magic prank or something?"
