Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam sits on the central throne, in the Rock of Eternity. Oddly a bit of a beard has grown. His costume is not as shiny, like it needs dry cleaning. That should not be the case except he's been Shazam without rest or pause for nine days now. He never did that before. He looks at the burrito he just heated and throws it the wastebasket. He doesn't have to eat. He picks up his cherished flute, but stops short of playing it. He looks at the other seats and says, "People go away. That is the fact of my life. My mom. My father. Sunny, Irie. Nettie... dammit."

Mary Bromfield has posed:
Mary wanders in, in her Thunderbolt guise because... well, it's the Rock. She looks pretty tired, honestly, as there's a fatigue in her posture that doesn't exactly make sense given that, well, she's got the Stamina of Artemis and all.

She currently is sipping an espresso that seems to have minimal effect as she looks over at Shazam, sighs internally, and takes a seat on her own throne, slouching as she says, "You know, these things should be more comfortable than the gaming chair I have in my office." She glances over at Billy, seeing if there was even a glimmer of a smirk at that.

Freddy Freeman has posed:
The unmistakable sound of a sneaker, a crutch, a sneaker, a crutch, a sneaker, a crutch announces the arrival of Freddy as he enters the RoE. He moves at his usual pace: faaaaast. People with two working legs think he should slow down. In his free hand he is carrying a box of Krispy Kreme.

"Yo, who's here!" he calls out. "I got donuts!"

He sees Mary and Billy, which causes a smile to break out on his face. "Yo guys! You hungry? These are just off the line. Still warm!" He crutch-walks up to his foster siblings, his wild hair just absolutely all over the place. "Hi!"

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam answers Freddy, "I don't get hungry as Shazam but thanks."

He looks over at Mary and says, "I heard you made Superman work harder to keep up with those trains, Thunderbolt. Good job." He holds a hand out for a fist bump.

"Did someone say 'donuts'?" Mormoragan appears as if my, you know. He gives greetings, "Lady of Thunder, Grumpy Doofus, Boy with donuts... I do not know you. I am Mormoragan.. also known as Shazam!"

"You need a haircut."

Mary Bromfield has posed:
Thunderbolt returns the fist bump, "Well, between stopping all those trains HYDRA sabotaged and then dealing with the HYDRA goons..." She pauses at the donuts, eyes lighting up as she says, "Shazam!"

KRAKABOOM!

And Mary is sitting on the throne, wearing jeans, an Elder Dragon Hijinks T-Shirt, and looking exhausted, "I can grab a donut or five after all that. I'm /exhausted/. Try to avoid any world-ending crises for the next couple days so I can cuddle Marie and try not to think about how amazing Polaris is." She grins, a bit wistfully, as she gets up to snatch a pair of donuts.

Freddy Freeman has posed:
Eager to please, Freddy holds up the box for anyone to take what they wish from it. "Wait, you're Shazam?" Freddy asks Mormoragan, his voice laced with skepticism but his expression good-natured and inquisitive. "Then who is /that/?" he asks as a follow-up question as he gestures in Billy's direction with a flick of his head.

Then he slows down for enough time to actually get a good look at his foster brother. "Whoa, dude, you look like shit. Did you do that thing you said you were gonna do?" There is a glint of concern in his usually energetic, glittering eyes.

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam winces. "Yes. I'm still doing it and working on it. Don't judge me."

The Wizard accepts a donut with a nod. "Shazam is a title. Mary is a Shazam. You are a Shazam. BIlly is the lead Shazam and thus Shazam and no other name. I am a Shazam. But my name is Mormoragan."

He looks over at Mary and says, "All this because Billy was the only one to take a fucking train. ... Don't look at me that way William. Shazams do not sit in their filth and moan!" He slams the staff once broken on the pavement causing a small burst of thunder.

"Also turn back to Billy and eat something. You want to end up deranged?"

Mary Bromfield has posed:
Mary looks over at Billy, "Don't need to, you're doing plenty of judgment of yourself for everyone here." There's a definite /again/ in the subtext of that as she takes a pair of donuts, eating one as she makes her way back to her chair/throne that lacks a lot of ergonomic features.

Mary glances back at Freddy, "You keep bringing donuts and I'll let you have hot tub privileges when Marie and I are out of the penthouse." She grins at that, finishing donut #1 and pacing herself with the second one, still drinking that espresso like it was water.

Freddy Freeman has posed:
Freddy raises his eyebrows at stares at his sis. "You think I'm getting in that thing? The gods only know what you two have been doing in there." He sets the box of donuts down and picks one of the treat out of it and starts to head to his throne. Then he thinks better of his decision and puts the donut in his mouth and holds it with his teeth and he reaches over and gets a second one.

"I support Billy," Freddy says after he sits and has a free hand that can take the donut out of his mouth. "If he needs to try this then I got his back." Freddy peers at Shazam. "What is Solomon telling you you should do?"

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam returns to his throne. "Solomon and the chorus are letting me alone thank the gods." there is a bright flash from him and he is clean shaved and perfectly groomed again. "Satisfied?"

As he sits down he grabs the flute and toys with it. "Nothing Billy can do that I can't. Why be billy?"

Mary Bromfield has posed:
"Because then you can actually enjoy a donut." Mary grins and then sticks her tongue out at Freddy, "Okay, first off, what we do is none of your business, and second, we clean and maintain the tub on the regular. Don't be weird." She chuckles a bit, "Your jealousy at my having a steady relationship is transparent, bro."

With that, she glances back at Billy, "Yeah, you should play something. Be a nice change of pace."

Freddy Freeman has posed:
Freddy folds his legs under him on the throne as he munches on his donut. His gaze follows Billy's hands with the flute. "Well...you /are/ Billy. Your powers can be lost or taken, but your Billiness can't be." He gestures in Shazam's direction with a head flick. "Yeah, for def, you should play."

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam!"zam takes the flute and hunhs. What to play? Then of course, it's 'Don't Stop Me Now.' He plays it awkwardly, with none of the feeling he showed previously. He misses a few notes. It falls flat.

"Billy did all the practicing... my hands are too big... I..." He takes a deep breath, looks over at Mary and Freddy, "Why do you guys hog all the damn wisdom? Shazam!"

Mary Bromfield has posed:
Mary grins, "Hey, it's there. You just need to listen to it Billy." She shrugs, "And you've had some rotten luck, it's true, but you can't let that bring you down." She glances over at Freddy and passes him a slight nod.

Freddy Freeman has posed:
Sensing that his foster brother is about to transform, with a mischievous grin on his face Freddy tosses a donut on Shazam's lap just as he says the Word. He's curious to see if the lightning will cook the donut. All in the name of science, you see.

He waggles his eyebrows at Mary. "I bet the gods never dreamed up this use of their powers."

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson appears, with an exploded donut on his lap. "No one would dream of that!" He rubs at the jelly ans Mormoragan guffaws.
