The second Starbright got into the jet, he first made sure THE BULLET was in safe, but then he put petal to the metal. The Minijet zoomed off almost crashing into some of the others out of the gate. This was the prime example of reckless and dangerous flying, not like Starbright would have any clue. At one point during the flight, he even took his hands of the controls to adjust his hair in the mirror. "See I told you Chad, no different from driving a sports car. You want to have a spin on it? Its a fantastic time." The plane dipped up, passing all the other mini jets, to the top of the tower. Then begun a surprisingly rocky landing, or at least surprising to Starbright.

"Ha ha ha, boy am I glad that the jelly stuff filled just the back. If it ruined my outfit, I would have been so annoyed." But there was something right in front of the mini jet that was more concerning than the prospect of ruined clothes, as hard as that is to believe. It was Sea Serpent looking mighty annoyed at such an excellent display of flying. How could you not be jealous of such a masterful flight? Starbright was very thankful for the tinted windows giving a cover to his shocked expression before he could compose himself. "Shit, oh shit, oh shit. We need to do something quick otherwise this plane is going into the ocean."

Starbright had to think of a plan and quick. Maybe they could fight Sea Serpent and win, but it was more likely she would come out on top. At the very least, she was a great deal stronger than Starbright even without the injured ankle. He would need something more tricky. He also search around for something to restrain her, on the off chance they won. But he couldn't find anything to use, at least not anything other than his belt. But would that even work? The belt brought the whole outfit together, would Sea Serpent recognize that something is wrong if Starbright exited with a sub-optimal style of dress? It certainly would work on Mr Impressive, who had the worst fashion sense in Wings, but it he couldn't imagine it would work on Seraph. However, it was a risk that had to be taken.

Starbright took off the belt and handed it off to THE BULLET. "Here, use this to restrain her when you get the chance. I'll do the talking, just do your best to back me up. Oh, and look as confident as possible. You know, puff out your chest and all that stuff. It will help with selling it." It still takes a good tug for Starbright to release his grip on the belt. It was a fabulous belt, and was a fashion life saver. Starbright was sad to see it go, but heroism demands the greatest of sacrifices.

Starbright composed himself under the veil of tinted glass before hoping out of the mini jet. "Another smooth landing as always, wouldn't you agree BULLET?" He turned his gazed over to Sea Serpent. "Oh! Sea Serpent, didn't expect to see you there. Are you happy to see me still alive? I can't imagine you do ha ha, have you heard what its like over there?" Starbright gestured over to the mainland Castleburg behind him. "I'm sorry to say, but EAGLES is fucked. They will eat you alive over there if you so much as step on the mainland again. It pains me to say it, but justice will arrive sooner or later."

Starbright slowly approached Sea Serpent as he said the next part. The whole thing being a ruse to have her drop her guard. "I mean justice will be arriving for Seraph, right? And his creepy thumb head lackey. Where does that leave you? Of course, you are clean in all this. I know because you have been sending me information to betray EAGLES, haven't you?" He was deliberately proposing a made up situation where Sea Serpent could get out of this scott free. "Oh no, but in the up coming battle my burner phone was smashed so I don't have any record of it. But surely to can take my word for it Mr Judge, she is innocent. It was that awful Seraph forcing her to do everything, I swear." Starbright was only a few metres away now. "You did do all of that, right? And my dear friend THE BULLET also saw you stand aside and let us into the tower to bring an end to EAGLES."

"You don't need to go down with the ship. Let shake on it, you know, between heroes." Only a metre away, he reached out his hand to accept her handshake.

David wasn't sure how he was supposed to react to what Rebecca was saying. She didn't have the same idea of a party that the other two did, at least in David's mind. Then again, was he about to pass up the prospect to get drunk and party with ghosts? Hell no. He gave a devilish smile over Rebecca's shoulder to Kate. "You know what? I think that's a great idea. I think your friends from the other side would love to meet everyone else in the coven here." Was it a smart idea to invite ghosts into your home with promises of a soiree, only to blindside them with a display of sprouting youthful alcoholism? Hell no. "Though I'm not sure on theme... Kate, any ideas?" Was David looking forward to all this? Hell yes.

Well this was a day, this was a hell of a day. First Starbright got kidnapped by his dear friends and then someone actually injured him. Like sure Starbright knew that this line of work entailed having a few scrapes but someone actually injured him. All he could really do was take pleasure in his attacker being dispatched with haste. The Bullet was a star in the making, Chad just didn't know it yet. But Starbright had the know how to make sure that became reality. Though that scream may take some work.

Just as The Bullet returned from the elevator, he noticed more people showing up. A couple faces he hadn't seen before, one that he honestly wish he hadn't, and oh! The other one was Rumi. Starbright immediately shifted his attention toward the 'tech guy.' "Rumi! So good to see you again. Listen you're a smart guy right? I got a new idea that I would pay bank if you could make it for me. So its like a microphone right, but instead when you turn it on..." Starbright remembered that Tom was with him when Cristina gave that warning, he wasn't about to risk his ass on Tom not being a nark. "Well we can go over the details once this whole thing is over. We better get a move on anywa-."

Smoke filled the room, and Starbright immediately started coughing. Starbright had never been so much as 30 metres within a cigarette so this was unpleasant to say the least. The introductions all past while he was still trying to regain his breath. "Division X? More like Division of being very rude, am I right? You should cool it with the smoke, these lung probably cost more than your..." Starbright immediately shut up when he saw the Moonbelt. He did not want it, he needed it.

It was all an interesting group, perhaps with everyone here Wings could be taken down today. Though he did try to ignore the threat from the strangely pink looking one. As if he knew what 'Eyesoleen', if he didn't know better he would just assume its the name of some very unfortunate girl.

Starbright's heart dropped at he saw the Moonbelt be tossed to Joseph. Of all the people, why Joseph? Like hell Starbright was going to ask Joseph for that Moonbelt, and it definitely soured his mood. But he quickly switched his face back to regular confident Starbright, he wasn't about to show anyone the satisfaction that he was jealous of someone. "Make that two ideas Rumi. I have two ideas."

Chad followed the group to the roof of the building, grimacing as he passed the burnt reamins of his cellphone. He leaned over to whisper to Starbright, the person he was standing closest to.

"Do you know how to fly a freaking minijet?? And can you give me a crash course before I... crash?"

Starbright had noticed The Bullets expression when looking down at his phone earlier and decided to address that first. "You didn't need that phone anyway. Did you see that camera on that? Only 12 Megapixels? Ugh, so last month. I'll be getting you a much better one after all this, so keep your head up.

"As for flying a minijet, well I have been driving fast sports cars since I was 16. I'm pretty sure its the same thing, right? All you have to do is floor the gas petal and steer out of the way of things." This piece of great advice was the product of only driving on booked out race tracks for fun. The idea of Starbright having to drive himself anywhere as laughable.

Chronologically takes place before the previous Rowan post

Rowan was caught a bit of guard when Cassandra mentioned it for self use. "I... oh... yeah see I thought you were going to use it on... never mind, moving on." Rowan stumbled through that first sentence with the grace of a bull in a china shop. "If you are going to use it on yourself, just make sure to watch the doses and to take it with water. Go a bit overboard and you are going to start forgetting things. If we have to get that snooty healer from Maine over here again, I'm not going to forgive you hahaha."

Cassandra looked over at Rowan. "So what are you working on, then? Anything interesting? I certainly wouldn't mind learning a little bit more of alchemy. It doesn't hurt to have a broader base, and I'd be glad to show what the Dark Arts can do in exchange."

Rowan thought about making some excuse up but she also knew she wasn't a good liar. With a sigh, "Pancakes actually. I not busy with anything right now I'm just a bit reluctant to move into my room at this minute." Rowan's spine pricked up a bit when she mentioned dark arts but the Moore family didn't become the Moore family shying away from certain schools of magic. "You know what? I'll take you up on that, at the very least it will be good to know how that stuff is all done." Rowan's eyes trailed a small golem holding a dangerous chemical. "Excuse me sorry, I'll be just a second."

David got a bit of a chill running down his spine when he realized Rebecca probably wasn't quoting that movie for the sake of it. I mean sure the sixth sense didn't really scare him or anything, but just thinking of that concept being real freaked him out. Still the girl looked a lot more chipper than David would expect for someone with that ability.

Moving on. "Yeah, you see, Rebecca here has the right idea. What more could the elders do except just having us run chores. Getting free accommodation and food is a sweet deal for a few odd jobs I would say." A bit of recognition struck David that perhaps the other two couldn't quite appreciate that fully yet. "Either way, heres my plan. We go do whatever flower picking, toad stool scouting, or whatever they want us to do. Meanwhile, we have a some proper good parties, and we are on easy street for the summer. Don't that sound good?"

Rowan knew the other witch that entered a lot better. It was Iris and she had immediately set to brewing. As per usual, she looked all out of sorts for the morning. Never the less, she hadn't seen her for a while until all this so maybe she had changed. Looking at her golem, at least that had greatly improved. It was in all sorts of shambles a few years ago, now it could keep some coordination. But what was that it was holding? No no no no no, she wasn't about to trust the safety of herself and everyone in the room to a walking log.

Rowan took the highly toxic chemical out of the golems hands and well out of its reach. "Nah ah ah, you aren't doing this again." Rowan approached the witch dealing with dangerous chemicals. But Iris was also dangerously unprepared for the day ahead. "The Sisters said they had stuff we have to do today. Now go get yourself ready before you carry on with... uh... Rowan waved her hand over indicating toward the brewing concoction trying to find the words to describe it. "I'm not even going to ask what this is." Was Rowan being a little harsh? Maybe. But someone has to mom up in situations like this.

The phone blew up taking that level of electricity, even Starbright's hands stung. But that didn't matter, all that mattered is what happens in "3, 2, 1." Starbright smiled even wider as the noise outside erupted into the cries of a peaceful protest that just became a riot. He tried his best to stand up looking completely unphased. However, the injury on his ankle sent a wave of pain through him causing him to stumble. This shattered the illusion that the Shocker had done nothing to him almost instantly. "Well good job... dumbass. You and your other ugly ass EAGLES buddies just killed Starbright on an international live stream. That just leaves one loose end." Starbright stuck a pose blasting light directly into the Shocker's eyes to blind him.

"Take care of him please."

David finished off his plate as he heard a bit more commotion coming from the window. He didn't pay much mind to it and was about to go wash off his plate before he heard the name Caleb thrown around. The guy who had just walked in was his roommate, he had to at least try to make some friends here.

David walked over with the intention of introducing himself as he was hit with a word salad that could be perceived as flirting toward his future roommate. His eyebrows raised and blinked a bit in surprise, the more shocking thing maybe is that he has heard worse. Either way, they seemed occupied so he turned on his heel to wash his plate.

There was a magic cloth there washing the plates as they came in. David went to go wash his own plate but it kept getting in the way. So he ended up pushing the mystical rag aside, and it drooped in midair as if to indicate it was sad. David didn't care about that though, he finished up and the kitchen returned to status quo after he left.

---

Leaving out the front door, David walked in on a conversation. It was Kate, Rebecca, and Hana talking about what the rest of the summer would entail. Not that David knew their names well or anything, he had only vaguely recognized Hana from a year ago. Even then, Hana was just heading back inside as he came out. He decided to join in on the convo with a bit of a joke. "See, I reckon we are in for the magical summer camp of a life time. Then maybe, somewhere down the track, we discover the true magic was friendship all along." He chuckled to himself about the after school special he was narrating then went to introduce himself. "Where are my manners, its David by the way. And you two are?" He had his arm out for a handshake. While a lot of his tone came off as sarcastic, that sarcasm didn't seem pointed at anyone.
