    Now that her player has figured out there's a new thread, Tiri is here as well, also hanging back, though rather than simply waiting, she seems to be using the time to go through her extradimensional storage space to make sure she has everything she needs if this turns into a fight on hand.

    Nirva is staying quiet for now, but that's not surprising for her.
    It is pretty odd for Caledonia; she must be pretty nervous about this if it's enough to make her be quiet and sensible for once in her life.

    As darkness falls, Callie finishes her meditation, stands up and stretches. She sends her black fox familiar to go vanish into the shadows as an extra precaution, then casually walks up to the group. When she sees how many people there are, she starts thinking that maybe they plan on fighting her. Hello sister. She smiles at Caledonia. Cousins. A nod to Andy and Bella. And... have we met? She curiously looks Tirya and Nirva over.

    Tirya shakes her head, smiling at the foxgirl, though she does take the precaution of slipping on the ring - a simple silver band, with a small crystal sphere filled with curling green fog set into it - she'd taken out just before Callie got up.

    "I don't believe we have, no. Tirya cas Karyana kynet Timoliir, at your service. Though from what I hear, you have little need of such things..."
    , she answers, giving a polite, if not terribly deep, or prolonged, bow, though as I believe Tirya is on the other side of the group from Callie, she doesn't bother offering a hand to shake.

She's even starting to think that maybe things will be okay with Elaine. There's the start of an idea, but she'll think more about it later.

    Krystal sons a look of disbelief at the quick recovery. Definitely wasn't expecting that.

    Well, the place is the Nexus, and the year...you know, I don't know what it is here. Never really looked into it. Back home it's 2012, though. As if the woman would know that Krystal comes from a universe sometimes referred to as 616.

    Kate's a bit lost right now... but that's okay with her. The bizzare spacetime intertangle of parks makes it possible for her to get un-lost easily enough, and right now she's looking for someone that can't be found easily.

    People who know her will realize that there is something odd about her: She looks perfectly normal.

    "Well, best of luck to you!" the exposition wizard says.

    Then drops a figure on the ground and casts a spell meant to unravel enchantments on it.

    The spell giving shape to the army man is easy undone and as the plastic transforms into water a small burst of CHAOS is released!

    The grass around the toy turns bright red, twining around itself and growing to a height of several feet!

    ...

    A five foot square of grass just transformed into cheery Twizzlers.

    And as if obeying the whims of an invisible dice-rolling god (although not really, how silly would that be?) Mintbalm arrives on queue, looking perfectly... not.

    Not normal that is. Rather than her normal pair of short-shorts and belly top, the oversized pixie is covered from head-to-toe in a grey hooded robe that covers everything and partially obscures her face. What can be seen is glowing for some reason, mixes of pinks and greens and cyans coming out from under the hood as she walks.

    Other than that, she keeps her hands in the pockets of the robe and is walking fairly casually, although Kate may notice that her movements are more smooth and fluid lately than they used to be. And, unless Kate's eyes are deceiving her, the pixie seems to be a good deal taller than usual, possibly even close to Kate's own height.

    The only real way for Kate to identify her are the glimpses of cyan hair from under the hood, which seems a good deal longer than she usually wears it, and the pixie doesn't seem to notice Kate at all as she walks, keeping her head low and her eyes to the ground.

    A person in a robe the doesn't seem to want to be disturbed and has blue hair? That doesn't sound like Mintbalm. The body language is different, the height is wrong... Kate does not recognize her at all. Blue hair isn't enough of a defining factor; it's not all that rare in the nexus.

    Not common, but it's not all that rare.

    Kate will slip past Mintbalm, giving a slight "excuse me" as she passes.

    "Seeya Kate." Mintbalm says without thinking as they brush past each other. She doesn't even realize what she's said either, because only her subconscious realized that the person she was talking to was Kate. Without the really obvious identifying markers like the glowing hair and antennae, it just slipped her conscious mind entirely.

    Mintbalm stops as well, realizing she's just been caught completely unexpectedly. She takes a second to replay the last few moments in her head, catching up to the present, before turning around to smile at Kate and look her friend over.

    "Hiya Kate! Wow, you're all normal and stuff now! When'd all this happen?" Doesn't seem like she's hiding much of anything by her attitude, but she's keeping her hands in her pockets for some reason.

    "A friend of mine had a spare poe and some worries about my sanity. I'm actually in a kind of secondary body; the one with all the additions can be accessed if I need it. But I shouldn't because it would wreck my clothes. On the other hand you're looking... less than normal. What happened? If you don't mind my asking." If Mintbalm is hiding it, she's probably embarrassed about it. But... they've messed with each other before, Kate remembers that. Mintbalm didn't seem upset when she wound up a robot.

    No, I gave you like, twenty pieces of gold. Not silver.

    No, it was a biblical reference.

    Oh, nevermind. Biblical reference.

    Little green men

    The woman scuffs at the plaid ground and frowns even more. The ferret chitters and sniffs another one of the little plastic men.

    Kenas, Kanes, come back inside. Leave the toys where they are.

    The children protest about how it isn't fair and it's not like anyone cares and it isn't even their bedtime yet. Their mother scowls and brandishes the wand.

    I'll disspell the entire lot of them if you don't get back inside right now.

    The kids groan and drop their toys, heading for the door reluctantly.

    Yep.

    Twizzlers.

    The wizard just shrugs and depart. Nothing more to do here! Except make sure that someone doesn't mass-dispel all the toys. That might cause troubles. So don't try to do that. It would be bad. Probably for everyone.

    [Little Green Men]

    The toys on the ground do not attempt to halt the children from obeying! Well. Aside from being toys. Kids love toys. That's as good a way as any to keep them in place. They just aren't doing anything active about it.

    Y'know.

    Since they're inanimate objects.

    Mintbalm looks down, remembering the cloak and such, "Oh, this? I made a little dare with a grig because I was bored, and I don't really look like usual. There's also a whole bunch of crazy stuff that goes with it, so I decided to keep covered up so I don't get a whole bunch of questions and stuff." The pixie lowers the hood, and for a moment Kate can see the luminescent patterns all over her skin before it fades away, no longer in the dark where it will glow. Mintbalm's face is pretty much unchanged except for her lengthier hair, and she smiles cheerily at Kate after her face is revealed.
