Re: Lady Luck, Where Are You?

They say the best type of person you should have supporting a cause is one that is not afraid to take an opening that comes along to promote the cause and use it. Storm was just such a person and Igor had kindly (even if he did not know he had) provided her with the most wonderful such opening. Reaching to the front pocket on her backpack, Storm pulled out one of the nice new crisp brochures that she had just received from the Melbourne Headquarters of Muggles United for the new youth chapter she would be forming at her new school and surrounding towns. "Yes, Muggles United and it's good you feel that way too, Igor. It's people like you we need more of!" she told him as she handed the vampire the brochure. "I don't figure you would be all that thrilled to be in a group with a bunch of teens and youth but there is an adult chapter in Drouin. It's not that far from here," she told him, making a mental note to pass his name on to Mr. Ashton for further encouragement. She was definitely a 'front line person for the rebel alliance Muggle organization'. Had the Gippsland robes been brown instead of dark grey, it would have been easy to picture Storm waving her hand and telling evil wizards, 'these are not the Muggles you are searching for'.

But we digress.

Currently, said poor sucker who opened his mouth about the plight of Muggles crushing vampire in search of object of his crush Igor was currently trying to locate a missing friend which had led to this conversation with Storm when they had run into each other.

She grinned at Igor's diatribe about not knowing about whether necromancy could have accomplished what she had with her combination of spells. "Oh a pinch of this, a dash of that..." she began, grinning as he asked how she did it. "Honestly? Accidently since I had no idea you were scattered there." Storm explained, resisting the urge to 'insert scatterbrained jokes here'. "It was two or three combined stregha spells from my grandmother's book."

Well, the next Igor knew, Storm was pulling out some pamphlet looking thing and handing it to him. Igor, not sure what it was, raised an eyebrow but he took it anyway. Once he did she explained what it was for, and then he realized that he sort of walked into all of this. Great, lady luck wasn't around to help him there, was she? He didn't think so. And the group needed more people like him? Seriously? Igor managed to somehow repress a sigh, and instead forced himself to listen to Storm as she spoke on about an adult chapter for the group in... Drouin? To Igor that almost sounded like... "Droid?". But she was right about one thing, he wasn't about to sit around with a bunch of kids and teenagers. Or possibly the adults for that matter, but he didn't say that. Instead he just rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah, yeah... Okay," folding the brochure and putting it in one of the pockets of his jacket for the time being. He really wasn't quite sure if having a vampire like him in a group was a good thing. But he still kept the pamphlet, why the hell not, he supposed.

Igor saw Storm grin when he was talking about necromancy, and he had to wonder why she was doing that. But either way, when she actually admitted that it was all just an accident, Igor rolled his eyes. "Yes, we can blame the idiots who tried to dispose of me, forgetting to spread the ashes, or at least dump them in some body of water," Igor told her, though he still remembered that it had felt damn awesome to be back in the realm of mortals, in his awesome vampire form of course. And she combined spells? Well, kudos to her, he supposed. Though he realized something, and he supposed that if he were going to be nice, and at least keep in this girl's good books, he might as well say... "Thanks anyway." There, it was out, and now he would not say that word for another, well, long while.

Storm did a bit of a double take as Igor mentioned droids, not quite sure where that had come from but then again, with Igor, one never could be sure where thoughts came from. She did not ask. "Drouin," she repeated. "It's about fifteen or twenty minutes from here and not far from the school either. At least it don't seem that far. I know Marcus has gone into Drouin for supplies though I've only been here and Noojee so far." As Igor agreed (he said 'yeah' after all and to Storm, that was agreeing), Storm smiled. "Well, let me know which night you'll go and I could always be there to introduce you to the others!" As organizer for the school chapter, she had gone to a couple of meetings with the Drouin group already.

Storm really was not expecting a thank you from Igor but it was nice to hear. "You're welcome," she told him, although making note of the previous comment about the ashes in case he ever caused Oli any pain. She brought him back into this world and Storm was not above taking him out of it again should he hurt Oli at all.

Storm repeated the name of the place, and this time Igor heard it correctly, though he would likely still end up calling it Droid in his head. Anyway, he paid some attention to the details Storm gave him, distances of time and useful bits that Igor would keep locked away. Though the next place she mentioned also had a weird sounding name, to him anyway, but he didn't comment. It was one strange name after another. When Igor focused again on the present moment, Storm was smiling and for a moment Igor wondered what he had just blabbed himself into, the look on his face attesting to the thoughts running through his head. It seemed his simple 'yeah' had gotten him into more than he had thought, but he would worry about it later he supposed.

Well, except when Storm mentioned introducing him to the others, then he supposed he would start worrying about it sooner. He had no idea what he just put himself into. Storm was certainly excited about it though. Igor refrained from sighing, and decided that he would probably end up dealing with it when the time came. But when the conversation turned to his return thanks to Storm, and her 'your welcome', he ended up thinking back to the things he had done after the fact, which had including some food of the liquid variety. And since it had been a while from his last meal, Igor felt that stab of hunger and he gave a small grunt, eyes narrowing. It was time to find a late night snack, but it wouldn't be this little place. Little places were not conductive to feeding, it would be much too noticeable.

"I have to go," he said in a bit of a hurry, his eyes still narrowed, not having caught anything Storm might have been thinking of turning him back to ashes and spreading them if he ever hurt Olivia. "Have to get back to Melbourne... Little place like this isn't a good choice for a snack." Igor added, after all, he was still unregistered, he wasn't going to cause havoc and bring attention to himself. He would have to resume actually finding Olivia for another night, as the urge was getting stronger. He muttered a "Bye," before running his way to an alley where he could apparate back to Melbourne and find the meal he needed right about now.
