Chapter 4 by CrawlingM CrawlingM

Who reads their cards?

Alex and Jamie, at least

After they've eaten their food, they sat and chuckled at the remaining part of the animated TV-show.

"Aw, that's some hilarious shit," Max laughed as the episode ended. "We should see some more of that, forget about the party game!"

"Maybe later," Jamie said with a sigh, not the biggest fan of the show but tolerates it for the physical humor, "but you're not getting away from getting your ass beat in Marvel party," he added as he picked up the remote and swapped the source back to the console.

"He's in fourth and you're in third," Alex said in a slightly bored tone.

"And you're being beaten by that medium AI," Jamie said in retort. "Either way it's not about winning, it's about not losing! And Max is the worst loser in town!"

"I'm not!" Max said as he got up from the couch. "I will show you how to get back to the top... right after a quick bathroom break," He said before he laughed, moving toward the door to the stairs going upstairs.

"What a tease," Jamie said as he leaned back into the couch, blowing raspberries. The sound of paper rustling is the only sound in the room as he picks up the card and unfolds it, reading it in silence.

Alex sighed and did the same, also slightly curious what the advertisement said.

After reading for a short minute, Jamie scoffed. "Well that was a weird pile of words," he said and chuckled, stuffing the card into his back pocket.

"Yeah, I agree," Alex said as he finished his card a few seconds later, picking up the remote to find something on the television while they waited for Max to return. but as he was about to change the channel, the light flickered through the room and a wind seemed to whistle through the building. "...That was... well timed?" Alex said after a moment with a sheepish look on his face.

Jamie chuckled and looked around the room before he glanced over at Alex. "Max is wrecking the bathroom so hard he's causing blackouts," he said with a smile. They both chuckled and Alex started another episode of Rich and Maurice.

Still, Jamie seemed to be pondering if the text on the small business cards was just a joke. Maybe there was a way to test it out... without looking like a fool to Jamie?

Does Alex test if he's got sorcerer powers?
