[Aah, morning. The sounds of city streets in the background, and an American idiot in the foreground. What could be sweeter to the ears?]

Hellooooo, City residents! Love your shoes, by the way. Now, correct me if I'm wrong - and I rarely am - but this whole 'super-powers' thing. You're actually meant to... know what they are, right

[THAT NAME! Ahhh, this is awkward.]

2/2

[fishnets]

As far as I can tell, most people that didn't have meta abilities in their own world aren't entirely aware of what they've developed upon arrival here. [She leans in toward the screen, squinting a bit.] You're not magic, though, that's for sure.

[shawnariffic]

[o hello thar, pretty lady~]

Magic? I missed out on the 'magic' option? That's just unfair. [To flirt or not to flirt - that is the question.] Any way to tell what power you have? Theoretically speaking, of course.

[fishnets]

['sup, awesome hair... guy.]

I don't think you get an option. [She fidgets with her top hat, eventually taking it off and twirling it around in her fingers.] I believe most people found out theirs accidentally. Mine is pretty much what I had back home, so it was easy to figure it out.

[shawnariffic]

[oh, you noticed?]

Oh? [Okay, flirting time now! Enjoy this massive grin.] Good looks and great fashion sense? I can tell. The spirits are always right about these things.

[fishnets]

[How could she not?]

I get that a lot. [She bites her lip on the "spirit" thing. Why not play her Ace later on? NO REASON NOT TO.] But no, I'm a magician.

[shawnariffic]

[remember - look, but don't touch.]

Colour me unsurprised. A magician? Like a 'pick a card, any card' magician, or a 'prepare to croak' magician? Be warned, my reactions to you are gonna depend on that answer. [Because turning into a frog would only add to his problems.]

[fishnets]

[She has too much respect to muss it up.]

Both. Sort of. I don't usually do card tricks and I haven't turned anyone into a frog for a few years -- I prefer sloths or guinea pigs.

[shawnariffic]

[this is TRUE ART]

You turn them back, right?

[fishnets]

Usually.

[shawnariffic]

...

Depending on...?

[fishnets]

Don't sweat it.

...Unless you're a super villain.

[shawnariffic]

What about if I'm so good-looking, it should be a crime? Does that count?

Or what if I... steal your heart? [CHEESY ZING because looking harmlessly lame is probably the best way not to be slothified. Which is now a word.]

[fishnets]

That would have to be true, then. [OH SNAP.]

You're welcome to try. I imagine the maximum punishment for failing at that would be teasing. [So, no, she won't turn you into an animal. You're safe, Shawn.]

[shawnariffic]

I'll make sure not to cross that line, ma'am. Just for you.

It's a good thing I've never failed yet, then. [And by 'never', he means 'often'.] So what's it like to walk around knowing you can turn people into fuzzy animals?

[fishnets]

I've got a name.

Well, good luck, then. What's it like? Well, I've always been able to use magic. It's hard to judge that sort of thing when you haven't been on the other side. There was a period when I couldn't bring myself to use my magic, though, and it felt empty.
