Two girls are moving their hands through the air and speaking together in perfect parallel.

Two girls are looking expectantly at a circle of red chalk on their floor.

Two girls have done something exceptionally stupid.

Harry Dresden is currently exiting the shower, reaching for a towel and mourning the fact that, for all that she would have damned his soul to Hell and probably made him eat puppies for breakfast, Lasciel's shadow was really convenient when the water heater was broken. He misses hot showers, dammit. And, not that he's going to admit it to anyone, but... he kind of misses her, too.

He doesn't have much time to do so, because as his feet hit the tile, they're suddenly not hitting the tile anymore. He's on a hardwood floor, and there are two girls waving their hands around and- shit, are those pointy ears? He hopes they're not faeries.

He really, really hopes they're not faeries.

Towel in hand, he goes into something like a fighting stance while drawing in as much power as he can. He feels his skin prickling with energy. "Alright, I don't know who or what the hell you might be, but I'm a wizard and I will not hesitate to start setting things on fire. How did you do this?"

A girl in richly embroidered clothes appears in a seated position in the air, a teacup in one hand, a faded paper parasol slung over one shoulder. She blinks- then gravity reasserts itself. The girl tosses the teacup away from her as she falls, her other hand awkwardly flailing the parasol to try and avoid crushing it beneath herself.

By a small miracle, the parasol remains intact and none of the scalding-hot tea gets on the blue-haired girl or her clothes. Her summoners might or might not be so lucky.

A person appears in the middle of the circle. He is five and a half feet tall, wearing very simple clothes all in dark grey - leggings and soft-soled shoes and a long shirt with an open back.

There are wings trailing from his shoulders, or something distantly reminiscent of wings - a fluttering spray of nearly invisible fabric, floating in the air like faint black smoke, speckled with tiny stars.

Apart from those, he seems more like a human than anything else.

He looks at the girls, and says in mild tones with perfect intelligibility, "What's all this about?"

A short human appears in the middle of the circle.

He jumps, yelps something that from tone and context is probably not a polite greeting, and looks around wildly.

Someone appears, posed as if climbing something, with his hands outstreched and one foot in the air. With the something he was climbing no longer there, he falls two feet.

On the way down he yelps in fright and pulls a cord hanging from his jacket without pausing to think about it. Spring-loaded mechanical wings pop out of the bulky article - and promptly smash themselves against the side of an invisible cylinder.

He observes he has landed on something. "What."
