Okay, very important, fate-of-the-world, Numbers-related meetings in people's houses? I think it's a bad idea with what happened a few days ago. So I've got a better idea-- well, "better" is kinda relative here but anyway.

There's an old building in the business district I've been using for a while to practice magic stuff [insert typed address here] and it's abandoned. No entertainment system, no comfy chairs and no food, but no nosy neighbors either. No one goes there anymore except for me, my dog and a bunch of random animals. [Yes, he's practically offering his training grounds as a meeting place. This is why he's not using text anymore, because he imagines that if people take him up on that offer, anonymity is pointless since they'll be seeing him around.] If you complain about how bare it is though then you go wire some electricity to it and set up your own fridge. I'm not your local IKEA.

Uhhh, what else... I think the chances of some random person coming across it is small? Since apparently people think it's haunted so they avoid it-- for the record no, it's not haunted by some angry, vengeful ghost. I'm the one making the puddles and scorch marks, okay.

Just don't break it when you use it? Or tell unnumbered people about it. It wasn't easy finding it and I don't want to go looking for another one again. And if that happens I'm not even going to bother letting other people into my playground again.

...y'know, why didn't anyone think of that before?

I have no idea. [This is the voice of a kid who thinks majority of adults are dumb.]

Maybe they like it where it's more comfortable?

Or up to code or something but...yeah, in retrospect someone should've thought of this before now. Didn't some party get crashed by snakes too?

There was? I must have missed that.

But that was a party though...

That's what I heard but I wasn't there myself. Still, apparently when we get together in a big group, bad stuff happens.

I think that's unavoidable since a lot of people are out to get us. But we should at least keep the property damage low, especially if it's someone's house.

Okay, points to Birdboy for the obvious solution to an obvious problem

[ She means this as a compliment.

...And since she didn't filter this and Miles is still playing Batman or something, he gets a Stupid Nickname. ]

S'there any metal?

Of course there's metal. It's a building.

[The "DUH" is very heavily implied but he's not being as snarky as he usually is. Because it's Sophie. He doesn't have to be ridiculously snarky to her.]

Stairs, chains, pipes, rebar and everything. Why're you asking?

Is there metal I can mess around with without bringing the building down?

[ She lives on snark, it doesn't even bother her, man. ]

I can bend metal now.

Are you kidding me? [No seriously what.

THAT'S A MORE AWESOME POWER THAN HIS SHITTY LITTLE MAGIC.]

Yes, there's definitely a bunch of metal lying around that you can mess with without breaking everything. And I'm definitely encouraging you to mess with them.

I don't joke around about being amazing.

[ HAPPILY WILL BRAG, YES. But no she likes your waterbending. ...And your firebending? What the heck do you think you are, Miles, the Avatar? ]

In that case, I'll stop by. And hey, scorch marks?? You do fire now, too?

It's certainly a better idea than having to combat who knows what in the middle of a populated neighborhood with the rest of leveling said neighborhood.

Aaaaand there's that too. But honestly, I'm just putting it out there since I'm pretty sure we'll be having a whole lot of those serious face-to-face talks in the near future.

Definitely. It's a very good idea, and it may be much easier to watch our backs that way, too.

That is, if people can be quiet about it. I'm taking a risk here, you know. With how noisy some people on this network are.

[Pause.] And some people have a way of... making things more difficult. I know.

But the attempt is appreciated, all the same.

That makes a lot more sense than endangering someone's home. I'm still not a fan of meeting en masse, but this seems like a better alternative than any of the others we've seen.

Meh. There's no perfect solution. Besides, no one's making you go anywhere you don't want to.

I know that.

If we stay scattered, then we can't accomplish anything, but if we come together, there's the risk of getting innocents involved. I do think this is a good compromise, and you definitely didn't have to give up your own personal space for that, even if it doesn't necessarily belong to you.

[Miles snorts.] I might as well own it, since the dust's so thick I'm probably the first one here in years.

Dude, that's great. Is it big enough to, like, practice fighting-ing and to run around inside?

Well yeah, since I actually train there. It's wide, not tall. You're fine with running around as long as you avoid the puddles.

Hey, it's not like I have enn, any idea how much space doing magic takes up.

What's wrong with the puddles? I don't wanna ack, accidentally drink them. Other-me's body-- It's a long story.

Uhhh. Puddles on the floor plus running equals accidents? People don't put up wet floor signs for kicks you know.

[Miles despairs that he's like the only kid round with some common sense.]

I'm not going-ing to slip in them, I mean if they're, like, magic... Okay, so other-me is this senn, centaur thing, and he absorbs noo, nutrients through his hooves. I dunno how to do it yet, so I don't know how to not do it.
