[ Some time around 7am, cause he knows you're all probably up around then, you all get a text from Brig. ]

SENT: 07:03 AM
Hey, everyone. I've been requested by Chief Eli to accompany him to the US for an extended engagement. It'll be a month long, give or take. I know it's a bit sudden but I only found out this morning as well.

I'm free to meet and hang for the day if any of your aren't doing anything. It'll be awhile before I get to again. If not, stay safe and I'll see you all soon.

P.S.
Particularly to the Hounds, if any engagements come up: I know you guys have it covered. But (again) stay safe, come back alive, and make it rain. Keep me posted if you can so I don't worry too much.

-------------------------
General OOC notes:
+ At 7am when he texts: he'll be finishing breakfast with J and K. He's cabbing them to the Arcanum and school respectively after but will be free after 8am for anyone who wants to meet up.:)
+ He's pretty much set aside the day for anyone and everyone. Training isn't a thing today, he expects he'll have a lot of spare time overseas. Today's about family and extended!family.
+ He sends the personal group message above to the Hounds, Cindy, An'yu and his family.
+ He puts up general, formal posts on GEISTnet, LOGOSnet, and MAYAnet that he will be away overseas with Wiseman Tagabigay for those who aren't family or extended!family.

[Taning blinks, then does as Brig recommends. True enough, it's better that way: more balanced.

He tilts the bottle in Brig's direction as a salute.]

I still call wizardry. I would know, I'm a mage.

[He laughs, and pulls out the thing he prepared and puts it on the table. It's a small, nondescript spray bottle, the sort that perfumes come in.]

For you.

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Brig laughs at the quip. Then looks at the bottle. ] You know you guys can always just tell me if you think I smell. [ It's a joke of course. Just waiting for you to tell him what it is. ]

[bladeweaver]

Do Created even smell? [He sniffs in your general direction.] Parang wala naman. [He laughs, clearly joking.]

No, actually, that's an enchantment. Spray it on, and you're immune to fire for an hour.

[atlas_shrugged]

Di kasi pinapawisan. [ Brig laughs too. Yes, he's been practicing. ] But that's very thoughtful of you, brod. With the firefights we find ourselves in, I'm pretty sure I'll need that some time soon. Bought or made?

[bladeweaver]

Made.

[He looks suitably proud of his work.]

Just one of my projects, really, no big deal.

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Brig smiles at it as he picks the bottle up ]

It is a big deal. [ He turns it around in the palm of his hand ] You made it and I very much appreciate it.

[ Then a chuckle ] Though if you can do this now [ Matter Mage-stuff. Yes, he's read up. ], I'm half-expecting you'll be turning water into nitro like some Crazy Ivan Jesus pretty soon.

[bladeweaver]

[H-how did you know?!

Yup, that is pretty much his face.]

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Brig just chuckles at that too ]

You seem the type. bro. Marikina and lightning bolts. Our initiation and fireballs. [ A swig of his beer ] That and water to nitro's pretty efficient, and you've always move efficiently. [ Yes, Brig's always observing you guys. ]
