Strangeness on a Train: Prologue

Description

They met, as is traditional, on a train. The larger one sat down across from the smaller, and they shook hands per the ritual. This may not have been old magick, but the rituals were necessary and comforting.

"Well met," said the larger one.
"Well met, indeed." The smaller nodded.
"Though not, perhaps, for some," chuckled the larger.

"Tell me about yours." The smaller man had a slightly gruffer voice.
"Let me know what I'm in for."

"Well," began the larger man, "she's my coworker. She's gorgeous, and she's constantly flirting with me, almost uncomfortably. She stares at me across the desk and starts...playing with herself. She flashes me when no one's looking."

"Why is this a problem?" the smaller man replied.

"She won't commit. She flirts mercilessly but always leaves me high and dry when I ask her to go out or try to make plans. It's a nightmare."

"What's her name?"

"Roberta." The larger man almost sighed it.

"Alright, I'll take care of Roberta. Now here's my story..." he sat back in his seat and looked up wistfully.
"I have a lovely lass in my sights who needs to be less damned... intrusive," the smaller man spat, "a neighbor. Jenna. She needs to be," he paused, grasping for the correct word, "refocused. It would be to my great benefit if it were more difficult for her to see past the end of her nose."

With business negotiated, the two men shook hands. The contact between them left subtle waves in the air, a trace of the arcane power they were to swap.

"Now, if you would," the smaller man continued, "how may I bring Miss Roberta to heel?"

The larger man laughed.
"Funny you should say that. I was hoping she'd be able to smell how shitty she's been, and hear what all of our other coworkers are saying about her loud and clear."

The two men chuckled as the train began to slow and other passengers gathered up their belongings.

"I have your number. I'll text you in the morning and tell you what I see Jenna is up to. I hate to be nosey, but..."

The two men laughed again as they disembarked and went their separate ways. They would never meet in person again, but each would see the results of the other's work firsthand.
