Yeah, well-- [huff.] There you go. My chance to assist is laying in fragments back in the house I stay at. So. Sorry, I guess. [grumpily:] It's not like I'm meant to do anything worthwhile in a world like this anyway, so I suppose it's fine.

Hey, I wouldn’t say that. You sound pretty sure.

[ As if she knows something, or thinks she does. ]

Is this about how we apparently won’t remember anything?

Wh-oh? Uh-- Sure. That. [grimace.] Yeah, that...definitely adds to it, doesn't it?

[ Her eyebrows are being raised, Cecelia. ]

Well, if that wasn’t what you were talking about, what were you?

Uh, what? [waving it off:] Nothing important, obviously. Who cares? You're doing the whole end-of-the-world thing with Sabriel and Darin, aren't you?

Not with them. Wait- are they doing something? Do you know what is is?

[ Well, now you've got her curious! ]

No? I'm not part of their little [finger wiggling] team initiative thing they've got going up in that other city. Ageist or whatever-it-is. I mean, Sabriel's out there divining stagnant ghosts in the desert, and Darin's pretty invested in, I don't know, punching the problem? Or something?

I don't know. I don't ask. It's kind of above me? In a lot of ways? Which, like, whatever. I'd only be offended if they didn't ask for my input, but they did, so.

Oh, Aegis Force? I mean- that’s not a little thing. That’s government shit. Do you know nothing about it...?

[ Get informed, Cecelia! Her opinion of you is dropping by the second! ]

I don’t think you have to stop yourself from helping because you don’t think you’re capable. You’ve still got magic powers, right? That’s- we live in a world where billions of people don’t have magic powers! You can do plenty of shit with that!

[a touch sour:] This world has already harnessed lightning and fire in ways comparable and, from some standards, better. I'm not about to stand about charging phones and light bulbs all day.

So you have electricity powers.

[ Something has been solved! Her goal. ]

You realize you can still do plenty of shit with that? Electrocute the assholes trying to get us killed, maybe?

Sure. Or roast them alive, I guess. But...How does that help against a goddess? Who is probably not one to mind all that, if she, like...like consumes all, or whatever? I'd assume to her, it'd be akin to just...just, just a bit of spicyness.

You're aware that she's teamed up with the fuckers in OTO, yes? The ones who keep trying to kill us. They're perfectly mortal and responsible for a few hundred murders, so...

[ Soooo Cecelia could totally incapacitate them and be justified. ]

Really? [grimace.] Even here? Gods. Well, why would you need me to wipe them out for you? Aren't there dozens of others devoted to the cause? I'd imagine if this was going on so long, there'd be quite a legion of imPorts able to do just that.

I’m not saying you can wipe them out all by yourself, I’m saying you could help. You do seem kind of bored hanging around this...weird-ass magic emporium. That’s not something you’d want to help with at all?

[ Contribute, Cecelia! Add to the fight!! ]

I don't know, maybe? Getting in and out of fights like that isn't really my favorite thing to do even if I can do it -- and half of why I can at all is, like...someone bigger and stronger than me taking hits in my stead. [she lifts her shoulders.]

I'm not exactly model warrior sorcerer over here, you know.

That happens often back in your world? You must have pretty fucking good friends.

[ To just get punched all the time for this girl... ]

Well, look, you've still got options. That's all I'm saying. You don't have to see it as an attack.

[her face scrunches a bit at that assumption. on the one hand...yeah? she's still alive? so that's good.

on the other...nghhhrhghhhh.]

Sure. I mean, it's not all about targeting specifically me. I know that. [she's mary-sued herself enough into stories to KNOW when she's the protagonist! and that's never!!!] But I'd rather avoid getting killed if I can.

Of course. Look, this is just me trying to find ways to...I don’t know, tell people they can actually contribute? You’d be shocked by some of the shit that gets ignored around here.

[ By this point she’s thoroughly dried out, so she sighs and turns toward the door. She can tell from the window in it that the rain’s let up a bit. ]

I should go. Uh, let me know if you’ve got any more questions, I guess? Or if Riptide’s being especially annoying.

[one day Cassandra will learn there is only so much you can motivate a teenager to do with their free time, especially if that teen isn't already predisposed to anything more than daydreaming. she's not anime enough for this shit, alright.]

...Um, sure. That's fine. Thanks?
