Here's what I have in mind for the ground floor of the new Mobius. The living room, library, hall, and stairs stay the same. The dining room has a china cabinet added and leads onto the family room. Glass doors lead onto the porch. The bathroom becomes a powder room. A dinette sits where the kitchen is and connects to the kitchen. A passage from the kitchen leads to the pantry, a two-car garage, and a staircase to Lilith's quarters, which are above the garage. There are two gates. One in the pantry leads to a pocket reality containing a kitchen garden. The other, the porch's east gate, leads to the basement of an unoccupied lighthouse in the middle of the ocean.

Another mystical house comes to mind...Halliwell Manor.

According to the Wikipedia, Sir John Mills played Thomas Lindmer, Dr. Strange’s mentor and the original Sorcerer Supreme. Michael Ansara provided the uncredited voice of the Ancient One.

I've moved the campaign to Pittsburgh. The house, owned by occult expert Thomas Lindmer, is on Beacon Street near the Beth Shalom synagogue.

(OCC: As Tjack has left the game, I'm ending it.)

"I know," Doreen says. "However, I think Batman, Batgirl, their associates, the police, and the Secret Service can deal with anything that comes our way."

(OCC: Does Doreen know Rob is Lady Heart?)

Looks good.

(OCC: The gear in the utility belt has been updated. It is now: a Mini-Bat Computer (Absolute Range Sense, Absolute Time Sense, Eidetic Memory, Lightning Calculator, Speed Reading, Mind Scan/Mind Control 6d6 [Machines], & link to the main Batcomputer), a Bat Communicator (may be a hands-free wrist communicator), a launching grappling hook, starlite nightvision lenses or goggles (not usable in cases of magical darkness or the total absence of light), a penlight with red, white, and infrared LEDs, flex cuffs, 6 folding batarangs, 6 explosive batarangs, 6 Taser batarangs, electro-knuckles, and a Mini-Gas Mask.)

"Yeah," Jennifer laughs. "Andrea, we have to tell them." "You're right," Andrea says. "Since Jennifer is the President's niece, she has Secret Service protection. I lead the all-female detail. My cover as her teaching assistant lets me stay close without arousing suspicion. The Stage Crew and most of the A orchestra are aware of it, as are all area law enforcement agencies and people here who need to know." "Except for me and Mrs. Forbes, our wardrobe mistress, all the adults dressed like me are Secret Service agents," Betsy Clarke says. "There's one by stage control, one in wardrobe, one helping Donna and Kate look for props and scenery pieces back in our store room, and at least one with Sharon on the balcony while she gets the spotlights properly aimed and replaces burned out bulbs." "We did get a tour of the auditorium facilities and, with guidance from the Stage Crew, the chance to operate the various systems," Andrea says.

"This is Robert, my boyfriend," Doreen replies.

"Back to the main part of the school or outside?" Michelle asks as Ms. Clark enters with Cordelia Chase, Harmony Kendall, Aphrodesia Kingsbury, and Gwen Ditchik. "Hi, Harmony." "Hi, Michelle," Harmony says. "I put both feet in my mouth this time. If I keep this up, I'll be permanently assigned to the Stage Crew. Where am I needed?" "You can help Judy check over the props and backdrops. She's in the stage left wing," comes a female voice from the balcony edge. "Thanks, Sharon," Harmony says. "I'm on it."

"I know his first name's John," Doreen says. "I've heard him called that when we're both running on the school track."

(OCC: Yep.)

(OCC: I don't think he does.)

"I'm impressed," Jennifer says. A stagehand enters from the stage right wing and says, "Ms. Clarke is outside with four more temporary stage hands, two of which are new to our group." "Okay," Andrea says.

"Please," Jennifer replies.

"Actually, I'm Jennifer Collingsworth, the orchestra conductor," comes the response. "Ms. Clarke should be here shortly. Please meet Ms. Andrea Price, my teaching assistant, and Ms. Michelle Karpman, the A orchestra concertmaster. We were going over the score for the play." (OCC: Michelle is a student while Andrea is an adult.)

In the hall heading toward the auditorium are Joshua Barnes, Ph.D., the school principal, Aphrodesia Kingsbury, Gwen Ditchik, Cordelia Chase, Harmony Kendall, and Ms. Betsy Clarke. Of them, Cordelia and Harmony were serving detention as part of the school’s stage crew, which Ms. Clarke is the faculty advisor and sponsor of. During plays, she serves as a stage hand and she and Harmony are the only ones wearing a black turtleneck sweater, jeans, and running shoes and socks, the normal stage crew garb. “Harmony, you look like Catwoman,” Gwen comments. “Right, Cordelia, Aphrodesia?” “Agreed,” Cordelia replies. “You are so right,” Aphrodesia replies. “Gwen, Aphrodesia, you two are joining Cordelia and Harmony on stage crew detention,” Dr. Barnes says. (OCC: More of this to come.)

I'm going with a female Robin, Tamara Carlina “Tabby” Drake, the daughter of Jack Drake and step daughter of Dana Winters-Drake. They, and the family housekeeper, are aware of her secret identity. They are also aware that she's a part-time mermaid, like the ones on H2O: Just Add Water. If it helps, I have Steve Long's ESP Aquatic Powers Volume one.

"I don't know," Batgirl says. "But then, I have electro-knuckles and several taser batarangs."

Batgirl replies over the radio, "Message received. Police cars and ambulances are one block away. Over." Batman's voice comes over the radio, too. "Good work, team. I got one more. I'll make a note to have batcuffs available for your utility belts. Over."

(OCC: Back on line. I just PMd Tjack.)

(OCC: Doctor's appointment this morning. I'll post when I return.)

"None in the area," Batgirl replies.
