The air in the Valentine house became a little more tense when the front door swung open, revealing an older man who greeted them calmly -hello kids-
The Valentine siblings sighed quietly and replied -hello dad-
The man with a slight limp and a rather marked speech impediment said -I didn't want to interrupt, but I came for my shield... the meeting can last all night and they seem pretty upset with me, but everything should be ready by tomorrow- then he walked over to a cabinet, which for some strange reason, was full of thermoses.
He carefully picks one up and takes it, then says -I'm Hubie Dubois, the stepfather of these three, nice to meet you- then the others quickly introduced themselves and then Hubie saw the book on the table and said -ho... they're playing with that... well, but just be careful, it can be dangerous-
Podcast asks -do you know about it sir? Can you give us an adult testimony?- directing the camera towards the man.
Hubie only answers -well, there's not much to say, it was my mother's, before my grandmother's, and so on until... I have no idea how long, my mother gave it to them after officially including them in the family-
Lucky asks interested - have you ever used it? - Hubie nods and answers - yes, once, although I didn't know it was real, it was just out of curiosity -
Podcast then asks - and what happened? - the man shrugged and explained - the lights flickered and a strong wind started, but nothing more... although since then I can put many things inside my thermos -
Trevor reproaches - that doesn't sound very magical - Hubie then opens his thermos and a whole umbrella comes out of it.
Everyone is amazed at them and then Hubie puts it back inside the thermos and turns it around and turns left, taking out several balls, and then turns right taking out forks.
Trevor asks -How the hell did he do that?- trying to look at the thermos from several different angles, Phoebe comments fascinated -it's the same concept as the ghost containers- and makes a gesture to touch the book on the table.
But before she can do so, Danielle closes it and holds it to her chest, both girls look at each other with obvious distrust.
Hubie, noticing the atmosphere, says - well, I think I'd better go, maybe we'll be out all night, you're welcome - everyone nods and thanks.
The man was beginning to leave when he stopped in front of the door and said -and be careful with that... it can be dangerous if you are not ready- and without further ado he left the house.
After he leaves, Jacob asks -Why is he wearing a "mayor" sash? Was it a costume meeting?-
The Valentines laugh lightly and Cooky explains -he wears the sash because he is the mayor of Salem-
Everyone looked at them in amazement and Lucky asked -really?- they nodded and she asked again -don't be offended but... why?-
Tommy answers amused -they nominated him as a joke, they voted for him out of pity and they re-elected him because he is the only mayor who in 200 years has not embezzled funds-
Once everyone recovered from the information, they resumed their journey until they left the house and walked towards the forest, arriving along a path to a clearing where a circle of unlit candles was already ready.
Well, it came out really short, it's because I deleted everything that GPT chat wrote, let's see if I could reimagine it all by myself, let's see how it turned out.
.
As I said, it's obvious that magic exists in both universes, if not, how did Hubie's mother control the plants and Hubie can put so many things in his thermoses.
.
The next one is already getting good.
