Moving into a new city is never easy, but you still manage.
Your family never really liked the idea of you going to Gotham city for college, of all the places you could be going that seemed less dangerous--Metropolis, Star City, Coast city, and a few others were peaceful places. Maybe that's why you went to Gotham? Other cities would be a little too peaceful and quiet for your tastes and while Gotham was certainly dangerous for many colorful reasons, you were certain people would be more socially active with you if you had to make any sort of friends. Just as long as you didn't visit too many public places too many times, you were likely to be kept out of any dangerous events. In any case, your family accepted the decision and you set out for this foreign new city.
It was a week before college would start for you, and with everything you wanted to be moved officially moved, there was a little downtime to kill. It only seemed logical to see things to do in Gotham before you inevitably had to start school--only the list of sights and places seemed...underwhelming. From a jogging park downtown to a charity party by Wayne, nothing seemed particularly eye-catching or distinguishable from what you had in your hometown. Just when it seemed nothing was going to be the headline of your week's to-do list, a flyer on the wall of an old pizzeria stood out to you. It was pretty degraded from weather, but you could make out enough: "--The Magician: Sor--7:30 pm at Grayson theater". Now, you weren't an avid fan or believer in Magic, but nothing else seemed to be on it's level of interest. Even if it was magic targeted towards little kids or something, you might learn trick for a party or see something you've never seen before.
You went at 7:30, took your seat in a nearly empty theater. It was off-putting to be a nearly vacant area; what if this magician really was targeted towards kids? Regardless of your suspicion over just how good this magician actually was, you still stayed for some reason. When the lights dimmed, you were expecting an older man with a trimmed mustache and a top hat to walk onstage. However, the exact opposite appeared.
Zatanna Zatara.
A young woman, in the usual clothes expected of a magician, complete with fishnet leggings, inky black hair and strange sparkle in her violet eyes. She walked on stage as though the entire theater was full; pleased and proud as she took to the center and introduced herself to her small audience. If she was disappointed at her tiny turnout, it didn't show on her face as she vegan her truly astonishing act. Sure, one or two of the acts may have been the usual rabbit shtick, but the others were unique feats of magic and seemed genuinely real to you! The hour of inventive tricks and humor for the magical beauty went by like a blur, and before long the curtains shielded her from view. You feel what you saw of her just wasn't enough; you'd have to see this strange yet alluring at least one more time! Would you wait for the next showing?
On your way out, you notice another flyer on the wall. But as opposed to showing the times for the next event of hers, it offered a separate way to see Zatanna again:
Help Wanted! In need of Assistant!
Discuss this adventurous new job opportunity with Zatanna herself, backstage! ;-D
-------------------------------
If the idea wasn't clear enough there, I'm looking for a slice of life and/or adventurous romance sorta story involving a regular guy and the likes of a young Zatanna in need of an on-stage Assistant. While I am hoping to play the part of the guy, I can play Zatanna with enough convincing and while I desire M/F, I can be convinced for F/F!
