"Then you stay in the fucking van until you feel like being a little less obvious or it gets dark, whichever comes first.  There are people around.  Jesus Christ."

[Huitzil]

"If you need to carry a knife, make it a switchblade or something, we're in PUBLIC for the sake of living fuck.

"Anyway, see anything unusual? Like, ghosts or demons or goblins hanging on to it, invisible Kool-Aid stains, anything?"

[Dracos]

Dracos frowns but conceeds and puts them back away.  "Hmm, ... Where'd you say they got these Huitz?  It looks like it has brown scales beneath the fur and has a sort of light orange glow."

Dracos

[Bjorn]

"Any ideas what that means?   You said I had a brown aura, right?"

[Dracos]

"Hum... Yeah, I'd bet this would be somewhat durable to energy or magic, myself.  But I really don't have enough data to make any real claims on that."

Dracos

[Huitzil]

"Well, I had a guess it might be magic. So out of place, where we're supposed to meet a vampire, with the way things have been going lately...

"The $64,000 question is: Is it the kind of magic cloak that saves our lives, or is it the kind of magic cloak that strangles you to death when you put it on?"

[Dracos]

Dracos blinks an insight hitting him as he suddenly noticed something, "Or more specifically a magical cloak of armor that makes one comfortable in extreme environmental conditions.  And Huitz, can you go pick up a few of these?"

Dracos

[Huitzil]

"You're sure? They have a big stack of them at the party, you can probably go over and take one each if you want. Just make sure to get a beer before you go, and try to mingle a bit before you snag some;so they don't think you're stealing their shit. Which we kinda are.

"The girl I got them from -- Julie -- said that some environmentalist guy brought them. You guys met any other X-Men like that?"

[Dracos]

"Geh, not much one for swiping stuff myself in public.  Get way too self-conscious.  Though I do wonder if they are...Hmm..."  Dracos does take a careful look at the party though from this distance and sees if he can see any magical auras in it.

[Rezantis]

"It's not as weird as you might think, though, since we're also supposed to meet a Titan - one of the original sons of Gaia, I think.  I might head down and try that."

[Bjorn]

"They're a bit obvious," Bjorn says critically.   "I mean, great for protection, maybe, but you can't really wear 'em around people, and in fact, just owning them could maybe get you in trouble.  I don't know what conservation laws have to say about this, do you?"

[Brian]

Dracos:  The party looks normal.  Nothing stands out as 'magic' except for the pile of furs that's left almost entirely unguarded.

[Huitzil]

"Dude, they're giving them away for free, just go over there and get one! Hell, they'll all be gone one way or another by the time the party is over. If they doprotect us,they should be pretty useful, I think we each ought to get one. Shit, even if we don't want to wear 'em all the time, we could roll them up like towels, or stuff them in a bag, or leave them in the car or something."

[Dracos]

"True..."

Dracos ponders.

[Bjorn]

"Don't look at me," Bjorn says, crossing his arms over his chest.  "Those are a bunch of college kids, and I'm past thirty.  I'm too old to be at one of their parties unless I'm cradle robbing, and I've done enough of that in my life already, thankee verra much."
