Your intrepid, TG reporter reports on a conspiracy so immense that it boggles the mind. I mean — even Somer can hardly believe it!

The Mexican Magician
By Ellie Dauber (c) 2015

A Mexican magician claimed that he could disappear on the count of three.

“Uno!,” he exclaimed, waving his magic wand, "Dos!" And, suddenly, he vanished in a puff of smoke.

Gone without a tres.

While Lee now has a few allies, his troubles keep piling up, as he will have to navigate several obstacles, over the course of the next few days.

First, Lee has heard on the grapevine, in not so many words, that due to not finding the writer, Rock and Revy group are planning on leaving De La Plata Podrido. So, Lee has to figure out how to convince them to stay, without him revealing to them, that he is the writer.

And his solution is going to roll them hard.

Then, some of the Baddass women of the multiverse, whom were after them, findly start taking an interest in him.

The only thing more dangerous than being hunted by a badass woman, is being courted by one.

Eda is on the prowl for a man. And she is not in the mood for latin. So, she has set her sights on Lee. In this case, Lee's manners and tact may have come back to haunt him. Because, one does not say, no, to a blond bombshell, such as Eda, without raising suspicions.

Next, Aeryn and Violin take their shot at questioning Lee, to see if he is the writer. Lee will have to navigate a conversation with two very genre savvy individuals, made even more genre savvy, by Lee's writings.

Though, Lee is not without his own trick, on placating Aeryn and Violin, without them realizing it.

After which, Lotton takes her turn at questioning Lee. With Lee turning Lotton's genre savvy and tastes in fiction, against her.

And finally, Ranma, Natsuru, and Akira have devised a way to see what really makes Lee tick. But, when the three of them find out what is really going on upstairs, in Lee's mind, answers take them completely by surprise.

For these women are Cooking With Insanity.

*Before…

~Ha, you’re like Shaya you both love to circle the tree. ~

~It's amazing and the view with it and the lake and the city it’s just amazing. ~

~Yes it is!~ He launches into the sky and he does a dipping glide over the water gaining speed and them he’s climbing and we catch a thermal and we bank going with it and up and, and up and them we start to go around The Great Tree a little dragon like a bush plane in front of a literal mountain of a trunk and we’re coming around it and leveling off and I take a breath and channel the power into the memory of a perfect song for this and we’re coming around the bend of the tree to get the lake into sight and the city after that and I’m replaying.

*Bonny Portmore* in my head as I’m flying back to my love on dragon back.

Bet none of you expected this one so soon! Here it is, the conclusion of the capture, along with a bit more on spacer fashion. Enjoy!
