[Settlement? Psshaw. That was easy as pie. Zat didn't even think it was going to be much of a challenge. Unless, of course, this place decided that his magic is unworkable.]

Dliub Esuoh! [Nope.]

Dliub a Kcahs! [Nuh-uh.]

Tnet Raeppa! [Oh look, that one manages to work-- albeit it's a small tent, and only manages to fit one person.]

Oh hardy har har. This joke is getting stale really fast.

Zachary Zatara, the world's greatest teenage magician. [A modest on, this kid is. Your hand can hang there by its lonesome though, Scott. He's not shaking that.] I suppose you were also brought here with no knowledge of who our host is?

[slim]

[WOOOOOOW just... awkwardly pulls his hand back... and makes a slightly disgruntled face but he lets it go]

Uh, yeah. I don't think anyone knows. Were you here yesterday?

[spellitbackwards]

[He frowns at that, lowering the tension in his shoulders that came from standing proudly to something akin more to reluctantly allowing himself to get along with someone else due to unfortunate circumstances.] No, just a few hours ago. I found myself wandering without remembering how I even got here in the first place. You?

[slim]

Arrived yesterday morning. [brief pause] In an office building. It was the same for a number of other people.

Then today, we woke up on an island. [he honestly doesn't even remember falling asleep] Not everyone made it, looks like. Some of the people I spoke with yesterday aren't here today.

[spellitbackwards]

Talk about dull and atrocious. [What, were they expecting them to work to death?]

It could be that they ended up in another place altogether. This place doesn't feel very familiar, even by the standards of lost in the middle of nowhere.

[slim]

I wouldn't know. I haven't spent a lot of my time on islands. [but one day he will]

What else can your magic do?

[spellitbackwards]

Good to know you're not barbaric enough for a place like this then. [Hmph.] Plenty of things. You'll have to be a lot more specific than that.

[slim]

[wow who is this guy]

I guess the important question would be if you could get us out of here.

[spellitbackwards]

[Well.]

Teleportation? No. My magic can only affect objects, not humans. [Not to mention...] Besides, it hasn't been working properly since I got here. It could be a dampening field specifically for me, if it's not affecting anyone else.
