Lower pigeon shield. But don't dismiss it.

"I should've made a bet with you guys." She turns to face Most Honorable Sir General Secretary.
"By the way, what were you doing that was more important than helping us out? Maybe I'd not look like a savage if you had intervened. Anyway, what's the next step?"

"Really.  Thanks for the help, there.  Kinda had a fat guy on me I would have loved to have been not one me."

He kicks the prone man for emphasis.

"Now what?"

Halesey asks the approaching fat man a question as he manages to not unleash the best potato vortex ever upon his weak, tubby flesh.

”Hello, yeah, um. So… uh. We used magic to take over this leyline like you asked. What next? Shall we go forth and... uh. Yeah.”

"I can see you did! Sweet, dudes. Righteous work you did here. Now wait a moment."

He steps over to where Halesey knows the leyline to be, and looks in a completely different direction from it.

"Awesome vibes you got here. You guys are great! The best! Really, I mean that."

Elizabeth then also joins in on the questioning.

"By the way, what were you doing that was more important than helping us out? Maybe I'd not look like a savage if you had intervened. Anyway, what's the next step?"

"Why, I was trailing you guys, watching how you did on taking care of this bit of business. I can safely say I've been real pleased with your performance, and that you're all I could ask for in apprentices. And I'm sure your hair... oh God, what's all this... well, I'm sure it'll grow back. So, um, yeah. I was evaluating you guys. Being on the down low and all."

"Really.  Thanks for the help, there.  Kinda had a fat guy on me I would have loved to have been not on me." Larry adds, kicking the individual on the ground right in the nuts again.

"Now what?"

"I guess you're initiated into the arcane mysteries of magic or some shit, so I guess it's time we all picked ourselves new names. Wizard names. Cool-sounding names. It's totally a part of being a wizard, don't you know. My book tells me it's integral to the whole thing! I've already got mine - I'll be known as Morbrayne! Sweet, eh?"

The fat guy opens his arms in a 'ta-da' motion, grinning at the assembled people.

"Have ya given any thought to your new names? Well, ya probably haven't, considering I didn't tell you any of this shit until now, but... any bright ideas on what you'd like to be known as?"

Wizard names- now that could be interesting.  "Larry" didn't exactly inspire fear or trepidation.

"Wizard name... you mean like Awesome God Mage or something?  That's a possibility, but how about.. Enolamyrral?"

"Wow. Lar- er,  Enolamyrral. You, like, totally know magicspeak or something. I think... I think I'd like to be, maybe, Potatoes Halesey, The Industrial Avenger. Yeah. AKA The Potato Avenger."

Halesey was lost in thought for a few seconds, totally imagining bad guys quivering in fear, shouting "Oh no! Oh no! Not... Not the Potato Avenger - we done for now!"

"The... Potato Avenger. Hm. Well, okay. Sounds a bit more superhero-like than wizardly, but I guess that's your choice."

He directs a glance at Elizabeth, who is silent currently.

"Er. Um. What? Well, yes, choosing a name takes time, you know! I like taking my time with that and there's nothing wrong with that as you should be well aware of and... uh...

..ehh...

..how about Lime Sage Liliana? Or just the Lime Sage? I guess Lime Sage is the obviously awesome title you put on a letterhead, and Liliana the actual wizardly name. I think that works. Can always add more words. Well then, it's settled, I'll go with it. Alright!"

At last, Elizabeth comes up with something.

"Er. Um. What? Well, yes, choosing a name takes time, you know! I like taking my time with that and there's nothing wrong with that as you should be well aware of and... uh... ehh..."

"..how about Lime Sage Liliana? Or just the Lime Sage? I guess Lime Sage is the obviously awesome title you put on a letterhead, and Liliana the actual wizardly name. I think that works. Can always add more words. Well then, it's settled, I'll go with it. Alright!"


The fat guy sighs contentedly.

"Sure. Why not. Let's go with that. Right, so, now we gotta figure out what's next. And that means I gotta figure it out. Luckily, I got it covered. Ya see, you guys are gonna have to get legal ownership of this place. Find out who owns it, get the deed from them, get all the paperwork in order by any means necessary - meanwhile, I'll be drafting up what we'll be doing to this place. Make suggestions if ya feel like it, but get the property in our hands - we're gonna be doing major work here. Any questions?"

He starts to look at an unrelated corner of the room interestedly.

Larry looks at the fat man blankly.  "Are you nuts?  We took this ley line with our power.  It is our right to have it!  We are well above the law at this point- who cares about everything else?  Next is bending this world to it knees!"

"There's loads of other wizards out there, and they got more leylines and more apprentices than I do. And more spells between 'em, in all likelihood. Better we keep our profiles low and not get our asses handed to us before we can make this place into a proper conduit for magic. Although we could try to snag more leylines as well, though they'll probably have better protection than this one - this was the only mostly unoccupied one I knew of in the area."

Larry frowns.  "Just how many of these ley lines are there?  How many do we need before we can start creating our own dimensions and shit?"
