Topaz (335) has posed:
Topaz was going shopping at the Magic Box. She was looking for alchemical ingredients - she is trying to find ingredients and magical reagents that she can combine with various liquors to form healing potions though it's tough going. She sighs as she goes up and down the aisles, picking up a few things here and there, stopping before the rack of alchemical components. "Alchemy, huh? Never too late to learn."

Doctor Strange has posed:
A single speck of light seems to float down from the ceiling and hovers directly in front of Topaz. As the speck remains a moment it begins to quiver and expand outward in a suddenly burst of light. As the speck turns into a ball it forms into a doorway and a figure steps out of it. The Sorcerer Supereme presses his lips into a fine line as he brings his hand up and his fingers dangle into a traditional "I love you" sign and the store becomes deadly silent...as if frozen in time.

It has been frozen in time as Doctor Strange's eyes turn to look upon Topaz. His bartitone voice says elegantly, "Good afternoon Topaz."

Topaz (335) has posed:
Topaz widens her eyes at the apparition as she sets down the items she's holding and curtseys. "Sorcerer Supreme," she whispers softly. "I am honored. You... you came to me...? Why?" She looks aruond, sensing something amiss as a few other customers and the clerk are motionless - even a car going back on the road is stopped. She turns back to you, wonder and curiosity on her face.

Doctor Strange has posed:
As his cloak snaps slightly at the bottom in an almost definant way, Stephen rubs his fingers over the lapel, "They will be fine...its a temporary bubble that covers a few blocks so we will not be interrupted." He moves to look over the various items before turning to face Topaz, "You're magical skill is growing but I suspect you have been struggling?" He raises an eyebrow with a curious look on his face. "Have you asked yourself why?"

Topaz (335) has posed:
Topaz murmurs, "Because I'm alone. I have no real friends, no family. I... I am still conflicted as to my origin. I don't know who my parents are - and don't really care about the 'replacement parent' who adopted me. Taboo can go suck it." She sighs. "I... I don't even know if I'm human, not all the way. I... I suspect I might be half-angel. I have no real proof - just a whisper of a prophecy... and I was once saved by an angel from a hell-like place." She slumps. "I lack direction."

Doctor Strange has posed:
A soft smile escapes the man as he nods slowly, "I appericate your candor, and I appericate your insight." He cocks his head to the side, "Direction can be a promising thing...but sometimes it can be just as dangerous. The question is...are you willing to see where it leads you?" The Doctor smirks softly as he folds his hands behind his back.

Topaz (335) has posed:
Topaz nods. "Yes, Sorceror Supreme," she murmurs with reverence. "I am honored that you'd come to me. What... kind of direction can you offer?" she asks. "My skills lie primarily in the realm of healing. But... you probably know all that, don't you?"

Doctor Strange has posed:
Doctor Strange nods slowly, "I suspect that you are part angel...but there are many other skills that could be linked with who you are...it is not your skills who make you it is how you use them." As he touches the golden amulet at the base of his neck that holds his cloak together, "I sense turmoil in your soul...that without direction could take you down a much darker path. I can offer you a path of enlightenment and guidance. But you must be willing to accept it...and work for it." He cocks an eyebrow and smiles, "Interested?"

Topaz (335) has posed:
Topaz nods. "I accept," she states softly. "I... I was hoping that one day I'd catch your attention - but I never expected it so soon." She smiles softly. "I suppose I won't be needing these things, will I? I should go put this stuff back for now."

Doctor Strange has posed:
As he smirks and waves his hand in an elegance flick of his wrist and a simple looking map appears in it. "Good...then...find this temple. It will not be easy...but if you do. You will become a part of something much bigger...and I suspect it will give you the direction you need." Stephen holds the scroll out for the woman to take.

Topaz (335) has posed:
Topaz takes the scroll and opens it to read the map, squinting. "Very well. I love a challenge. I've had too few of late. Not even a challenge to my healing magicks." She nods as she gazes at you. "Is this... Tibet?" she asks. "Wow. I... I grew up in India. Even went there once when a child with the traitorious Taboo."

Doctor Strange has posed:
Doctor Strange smiles and nods slowly, "Then this should be a walk in the park." He smirks softly as he flicks his wrist and his fingers glow. The world explodes into an array of movement and sound once again as the time spell is lifted. "I will not be able to help you but if you make it. I will have a cup of hot tea for you before Wong puts your nose to the grind." He turns with a florish as the portal opens in front of him an a golden nimbus, "Last minute questions?"

Topaz (335) has posed:
Topaz gazes over you and over your shoulder at the portal. "Just one. Why did you come tome specifically?" she asks. "How have my modest talents come to the attention of the most powerful magical force on this world?"

Doctor Strange has posed:
"It was the spark in your heart. A spark can turn into a flame, and a flame can be turned into a beacon of hope with the right inspiration." Stephen turns and steps into the portal and it winks out, the single speck of light floating to the floor before faded out of existance.

Topaz (335) has posed:
Topaz just looks around, looking rather stunned as she simply walks tothe checkout stand to pay for her purchases. There is much to think of - as she already is planning a long trip to Tibet.
