WHO: James, Li-Na, Derek, Zee, and anyone else!
WHERE: Zee's office, then Derek's apartment
WHEN: late on 2/5 through 2/12
WHAT: just a bit of light kidnapping!
WARNINGS: none yet

[ Come February 6th, Zee's office is empty and locked. Which is pretty odd, considering he said he'd be available from now on.

Anyone interested in investigating further, though, may find a few clues near his office to look into. Like security footage on the street, or a discarded cup of coffee that didn't quite make it to a trash can.

Are you up for the challenge of finding out where Zee Carlisle has gone to?

Please make new toplevels on this log and mark the date when they're supposed to take place, please! ]

Doesn't really matter whose spit. As long as there is spit.

[Derek waves a hand nonchalantly. He then points at Li-Na.]

There is my apartment. I live alone... Plus i have a car that we can toss him into. Though I do worry a bit about any neighbors hearing him make any nose. Kind of wishing I had a spell to deal with noise or not wanting someone to over hear what ever is going on...

[ While this is true, Derek, it's also: gross. You're gross. But hey, if it works. ]

Then we'll take him to your place. Li-Na and I both live with other people, so yours is the only option we've got. Dealing with neighbors who might notice something is way better than dealing with housemates who'll definitely notice something.

You have a spell that makes spitballs but not one to dampen noise?

[Li-Na raises an eyebrow. Your magic is ridiculous Derek.]

James is right though. Better to take the chance with the neighbors than with my family. And maybe there is a way we can sound proof your place some.

Of course, if he just... teleports away, we won't need to worry about the neighbors at all.

What? Even a professor used it in class to get rid of the school poltergeist from the classroom.

[ James rolls his eyes at Derek. Sure, why not. Spitballs repel the resident school poltergeist. That might as well be a thing.

But Li-Na makes a point he hadn't considered. ]

Damn, you're right--we need to find a way to keep him from teleporting too. But how do you keep a guy from using a power that's just a part of him?

[Li-Na presses her lips together. She can think of a couple options, neither of which she likes.]

I don't know...

[She looks over at Derek]

Have spells that would be useful for this?

[Derek starts to nod and open his mouth to respond when he gets this really annoying buzzing in his ear. What? His eyes scrunch up and he snaps his fingers near his ears. Nothing, all he can hear is the buzzing. As this is happening he remembers the spell that cause this. Muffliato, a spell that fills the ears of anyone nearby with an unidentifiable buzzing. He looks at James and Li-Na and start to talk. He thinks sound is coming out of his mouth, he just can't hear it. He tries saying, "I think I just remembered a spell, but it's making my ears buzz." But what is really happening is that he lost his voice and all Li-Na and James are going to see is Derek messing with he ears and no sound is coming out of his mouth. This is going to be going on for the next 5 minutes. Because not only did he remember Muffliato, he is going to remember Silencio in a minute here.]

[ James watches Derek for a few moments, confused. Eventually though, when he can see Derek's lips moving but hears no sound coming out of his mouth, he decides that this must be some Retrospec thing. Or maybe it's Derek's own magic gone nuts or something.

James sighs and smacks his hand across his face. ]

Great. Alright, do we have a pen and paper somewhere so he can maybe write out what he's trying to say?

[Sorry Derek, Li-Na is giving you the blankest of looks.]

No, no paper. But I have a cell phone.

[Here Derek. Have a text. Hope you can feel your phone vibrating.]

Derek. You are silent..

[Derek pulls out his phone and sees a text from Li-Na. He mouths "Why are you texting me?" It's when he reads the text, that his mouth drops. You've got to be shitting him! Derek stares at the screen."I'm silent?" Again no words comes out. It is then he gets another memory and then it all makes sense. He lets out a sigh and then texts both Li-Na and James.]

It's memories... I think. I just remembered two spells. Muffliato (makes people trying to listen in on a conversation have their ears have an annoying buzzing sound, which is happening to me right now) and Silencio (makes a person or anything else silent... which explains why I can't speak.

How log is this going to last?

And in response to Li-Na's earlier question: Kinda? have the full-body bind curse. That might stop Zee from teleportating.

[And send. Derek is hoping that these side effects ware off soon.</small]

[ He sighs, and exaggerates the motion of it for Derek's benefit, since he can't hear it. ]

how the hell should we know how long it's gonna last
it's your magic
but at least it can get us that full body bind thing
that might work

[To both of them she texts:]

Muffliato and Silencio could keep the neighbors from hearing anything suspicious. So those are useful as well.

[She's not too wild about the idea of the full body bind. It sounds too much like tying Zee up. But since she's already agreed to drugging him... she doesn't think she has a foot to stand on anymore.]

[to Derek she also texts:]

Could be a week. That's how long it look for the pattern to go away on my legs and for them to stop collapsing on me.

[Derek reads Li-Na's first text and gives her a thumbs up. That's exactly what he was thinking Li-Na. When he gets the second text, his hand lowers and his gives Li-Na a look of disbelief. No...]

I cannot have this murmuring in my ears for a week!

[That being said, a minute passes and slowing the noise in his ears are starting to subside.]

My ears are clearing up... I think. It's not as bad anymore.
