The chaotic council of wizards leisurely strolled into the McBurger Jr franchise, with several of them snickering and smiling wide.

Alex looked up from behind the counter, exhausted from his ten hour shift.

“Um, okay…”

“He can’t see or hear us,” Polidorus the Esoteric laughed. “He just sees the door opening like we’re ghosts.”

The wizards proceeded to walk behind the counter and grab all the current drive-thru orders. One of them stole a fry from a child in the dining area, who just watched silently as the fry disappeared into the wizard’s mouth.

“Graymund, remember to take as many sauce packets as possible.”

“This is brilliant!” Rediskrad shouted. “Being invisible and unheard is going to make procuring supplies for our rituals so much easier. We don’t have to shop for discounts or hold magic mushroom bake sales anymore! Money is no longer a barrier to greatness!”

Alex turned to Rediskrad and looked him directly in the eye.

“Do you mind not shouting in my ear?”

“You can hear us?”

“Yeah, of course.”

“You can see us too?”

“Yeah. Didn’t you notice that you could see and hear each other?”

“Well, sure, but…”

As the last of the wizards was pushed into the police car, he turned to Polidorus.

“I told you to remember to cast the spell before we left!”
