[Kyon is walking down the street when suddenly... Nanashi is seen coming from the other direction, minus an arm.]

... Okay, what the hell happened to you?

[has_a_name]

... I went to the post office...

[sosnarrator]

Oh, right. That place. What did you get for it?

[has_a_name]

... magic...

[sosnarrator]

You know, "magic" is a pretty vague description. After all, pretty much any sufficiently advanced ability without a known scientific explanation could be considered as such...

[has_a_name]

... I'm referring to my internal mana reserves...

[sosnarrator]

("Mana reserves"? What is this, some kind of fantasy RPG?)

And what exactly are you able to do with your "mana reserves"?

[has_a_name]

... the only thing I've regained so far that uses it is my reality distortion cannon...

... in theory, I can act as a sort of mana battery, too... but without the proper formula regained, it'd require something else to draw it out...

[sosnarrator]

... Reality distortion cannon. How exactly does that work? I mean, judging by the name, it distorts reality in some kind of manner...

[has_a_name]

*you had to ask for "exactly", didn't you, Kyon? She's ... going to launch into a rather complicated explanation and not dumb it down for you at all*

*in other words, it's probably coming out as undecipherable gibberish*

[sosnarrator]

... Okay, maybe you could dumb it down a little.

[has_a_name]

... oh...

... how much do you know about magical science...?

[sosnarrator]

Close to nothing. As for the reality distortion, does it merely change reality or rip a hole in it or what?

[has_a_name]

... something like that...

*sob, explaining things to somebody that doesn't know any magical science a little depressing to her*

[sosnarrator]

Okay, so which is it? Changing or punching a hole?

[has_a_name]

...

... both...

... kind of...
