passed out in the hotel lobby - Mallory and Madison

"That could work Mickie" Madison replied. "We just need to make this look normal and natural. Even he needs a break now and again and as an auntie I could look after Hunter and Hayden; at least doing cool auntie things with them on this day out".

She hoped that would work and it was a way of testing the theory. There still seemed to be a lot going on but the more she got involved with ARI she was getting closer to being a scientist.

"I was hoping to do it without her but considering she has four of his kids." She shook her head. "Do I have to invite her?" she said. "Can't I just kidnap her four because I think that would be easier than to deal with Cami. I can stake out when she is not home, stake out if she has a baby sitter or anything like that and get those four then. Let me do this, it would be easier trust me."

"Four out of ten is only forty percent," she said. "We do not technically need those four we could just use the other six and it is a bigger percentage and then we will know for sure." She sighed. "Well we might need that one, Star is that her name?"

Holy hell. "Star," she said as she looked at them. "We need Star. Okay imagine this. Cami had Star and Skylar. She had a literal star and sky. A star in the sky because they shared a womb at the same time a dark space where they only had one another," she said as her alcohol had wore off. "Imagine she met Taylor who went on and on about the stars and his love I imagine for them. They got married. Cami had Star and Star prefers Taylor because Taylor loves stars."

She sighed. "Skylar is the protector because stars always look up to the sky. Guys, Star is magic. It would explain why her body temperature went hot, a star spent time under a sky. The kids are only a fraction of this magic, the rest of the kids. Star is the key to stopping this, so how do we get Star away from Cami?" That would be the easy part. "I guess the real question is how do we get Star away from Taylor?"

Cami Q.- Carter, thank you again LOL

Now she was the one behind as she listened. "Fuck it I am buying you one drink," she said as she turned to order room service because this was so layered. She sighed. "Kidnapping would be easier. Also if we move too quickly they will sense that something is up." She did not even know how to star to handle this. "Is that the one with the little designs on her hands and feet, don't need to snatch up the wrong kid."

"Alright I'm getting a neat jack daniels shot for myself, Mickie what do you want and Madison do you want anything?" She needed a drink at this point which was terrible. "Ten kids, two witches out of the two kids for sure, or one witch in Star, and one ghost speaker or seer in Mia."

"That better be everything. If we are off by even one thing it won't work. So let's fact check? Taylor has ten kids, check. Cami and Taylor share 4 kids, check. We know all the mother's of Taylor's kids, check. We know all the father's of Cami's kids, check." She sighed. "Okay yeah we know everything, we just need Star and Mia."

"I'll have Jack on the rocks" Madison replied when her chance to order came round. Mallory had also done the brainwork and Mickie agreed with the tally. Then added "this is getting rather like Harry Potter but we can deal with it". The books were still a thing even in a world that had problems with oddities but only the first movie had been made so far and fairly recently too. Magic on screen seemed to be fine as long as the wielders looked human and there was a clear big bad guy in the story.

"Mickie's idea is pretty good and now we know what we need to do why not go out. At least we can show Mickie round a bit or get a sit down dinner together" she suggested.

(as our comics are different in this world so would other post 1993 literature. So I'm figuring Harry Potter would be a movie later once the studios were happy there wasn't a pro-oddity message hidden in it)

She could not believe she was spending time with this drunk lady. "Mickie," she said as she thought about her drink. "Did you ever find out anything about those crater pieces? I need an answer before you possibly get drunk off of your ass and get embarrassing." It would be a low point ironically enough.

So looking at Mickie and Mallory she returned with their drink from the bar just in time to hear what Mickie had to say. "If he didn't why not?" she softly posed. "But how do you define weird looking? Weird is its own grey area back home". Madison sounded curious and even without seeing the sample she might have ideas.

Then she looked to Mallory. What they'd done at the crater was only a start in figuring this out. "Shall I ring Taylor and find out?"
