THE MISTRESS OF MAGIC!

Not everyone sees what lies behind a mask. But everyone sees the mask. [ ind. zatanna zatara ]

      “Yeah… I’ve never seen a bar like this, either. But it’s nice. A lot quieter than most.”

“I’m gonna’ go see what they have to drink. Coming with or are you gonna’ test out the dance floor first?”

[itavsaras-blog]

killervocalz:

And it’s not being said again either. 

That remains to be seen.

      “Teleportation. Who drives in city traffic willingly?”

“People who can’t handle teleportation. You’d be surprised who hates it.” 

But since that doesn’t seem to be either one of them, Zatanna just teleports them inside the nearest one of the bars.

“This is... a different atmosphere from what I’m used to.”

killervocalz:

I might be past my prime to deal with that anyway.

Just want you to know you said it, not me.

[She whispered lowly, in some horrored, but distraught tone that was mostly laughable if you weren’t her.]

Its name is Chadworth…?

[Nope, time to push that out of her thoughts again, literally rolling it off.]

–I mean, who. what. What were we talking about? Oh, right. nothing at all.

Frat parties get weird, Di. Don’t go to one.

[itavsaras-blog]

killervocalz:

Please don’t make me think about that thing again. It’s hard enough the first time.

Fair enough. Chadworth is pretty freaky-looking.

[itavsaras-blog]

killervocalz:

I, personally, have no idea what you’re talking about, Zee.

Nope, not a clue.

Exactly. -- you are pretending not to notice, right? Sometimes I can’t tell.

@killervocalz

I’m gonna’ pretend that many-armed thing with one eye did not just say my name and you should too, Di.

      “Google search ‘bars that play nerdshit’. Or just say that but like backwards.”

“Cigam Elgoog hcraes ‘srab taht yalp tihsdren.’” Magic Google comes through, and fast. There’s about ten results nearby.

“I guess the only question left to ask is, teleportation or car ride?”

[itavsaras-blog]

thingsgreaterthandoom:

      “Yeah, you do.” A half smile. “But I don’t think you have to worry about that because most bars and clubs don’t play that kind of music anyhow.”

“Most. We’re gonna’ find the one in a million that does.” Zatanna starts to fumble around in her purse. “Just need either a spellbook or Google. Same thing these days.”

thingsgreaterthandoom:

      “You can do a lot of things if you’re sufficiently determined.”

“That is not at all comforting but I should be fine, I guess. I’ve got rhythm. Good hips.”

[itavsaras-blog]

thingsgreaterthandoom:

      “Alternative, I guess, is the most succinct way to put it. Indie bands with female vocalists. Nerdy interests help, but I don’t think they play those in bars.”

“Can you even dance to those?”

      “…mm, fine, okay. Just nowhere too crowded and obnoxious.”

“Like I’d do that to you.” She would. She’s not going to. “It’ll be somewhere quiet but fun. Do you have a music preference?”

Hey, excuse me, do you want a box of these chocolates? Somebody sent me like seven and I can’t eat them all and still fit into my fishnets.

Doubt it. You remember the whole satanism scare that started in, like, the late 80′s and lasted through most of the 90′s? My mom was obsessed with that shit. I was grounded for like, an entire month when she searched my room and found a copy of The Devil’s Rejects on DVD.

Mm, yeah, I can believe it. I remember how people were back then. I used to get holy water thrown at me onstage, someone brought a lifesize replica of Jesus on the cross to a show once, heck, one time I got kidnapped by some weird cult all because Zatanna sounds slightly like Satan.
