The notice had been pinned up for two days. No-one had really seen it at first, but there was a crowd now. Several Questers sneered at it and stated that it couldn't possibly be a serious quest, others weren't so sure. DG, Ani and Emilie were all already there when Xani came to see what was going on. "I'm not sure I really count in this one" Emilie said, a little unsure whether that was a good or bad thing "it says you need see-able powers, and I'm not sure mine really are." "You can see the effect of your powers" DG reminded her "and you can see the telekinesis well enough." "Some people will assume there are strings and wires involved." Ani noted. "Same goes for my powers really, I use the wind. It's not like you can really see that... I could just be standing in front of a giant fan or something." "What's going on?" Xani inquired. DG stepped aside so she could read the notice. The QA has been asked to provide actors for a film on Earth Standard. The director wants real magic, real heroics, and is willing to pay handsomely for them. Any Questers with a flair for acting or see-able magic is welcome to sign up. A script will be given to you upon arrival. There was also a date and time the portal would be opening. It was less than an hour away, and in light of this, the notice had turned bright red, to show there wasn't much time left. "So who's going?" Xani asked, looking around at the gathered Questers. For a moment, no-one moved.

Grady stopped behind a strange blue-skinned woman and another with shock-white hair, and read the sign over their shoulders. After the information had sunk in, Grady gave a sigh of relief, loud enough to cause the two women to turn around. He grinned at the pair of them and walked away happily, there was no way they'd send Nickel, her powers were more scientific, not what they were looking for at all.
Meyla and Naia watched the man walk away before both turning back to the notice. "I wonder what he was so happy about," Meyla muttered. Naia shrugged and smiled in return, before asking, "Do you think you'll go for it?" Meyla shrugged her shoulders, "I'm not sure, there must be loads of fire mages signing up already, at least you look different enough to be interesting." Naia raised her eyebrows at the comment but said nothing of it before an idea suddenly struck her, "But you can transform!" Meyla shook her head, "What they want is noticeable powers, like the fireballs or your water manipulation, transformations are too easily explained." It was a shame, Meyla had always wanted to do something like what was on offer. Naia smiled at Meyla, "Oh go on, I will if you will."
Far towards the back of the group, Klara was standing and watching everyone who had crowded around the notice. 'Idiots,' she thought to herself, 'If they want powers, I'll give them a show they'll never believe.'/

Emilie listened cautiously to what people were thinking. 'I think this may turn out to be more than a simple acting job' she projected to Ani, DG and Xani. 'What have you heard?' DG thought. 'Something not good. Ani and I are out because of our powers, but you two are still in with a shot. I think maybe you both need to go.' There was a general consensus. Everyone trusted Emilie. DG moved off towards the portal room. A couple of minutes later, Xani followed.

Klara followed a few random people to the portal room to weigh up those that were going. She sneered at them and laughed to herself as she watched the portal open up and a few jump through it. "Perhaps I should go," Klara muttered to herself.
Just before the portal closed completely, Klara made a snap decision and jumped through it.

When DG stepped out on the other side there was an impressed and flabberghasted-looking man in a suit and dark glasses staring. She moved aside and Xani followed her out. "Shemlen..." Xani said with a sigh.

Klara dropped through the portal on the side at the back of a small group all standing around a man in a suit. She crept closer so she could hear what was going on.
"I didn't expect so many beautiful looking women!" the man exclaimed. Klara rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest.

Both DG and Xani shuffled uncomfortably. "So what are we doing here?" "Ah, my little starlets, you are here to make a movie!"

Another person from the group shouted out, "Well we knew that. But why do you want us?"
Klara stood and muttered to herself, "Why are they all asking questions that they know the answer to? It was all on the sheet at HQ."

"I want the real thing!" The man beamed "No more special effects! I want people to wonder how we did it and never work it out!" "It's all lies, he wants to reveal our existence!" Shouted another voice in the crowd. "And how many people would believe him?" DG called back. "You didn't have to come, remember."

Klara smiled, the woman had a point. No one forced them to come through the portal. Perhaps this could be more interesting than she originally thought.
