[Lucrecia doesn't seem to notice the communicator is on and recording her. Standing in the middle of her Marshall apartment she stares almost vacantly into space.]

Soul wrought of terra corrupt,
Quelling impurity,
Purging the stream
To beckon forth an ultimate fate.

[A cup enters the picture flying straight at Lucrecia's head; instead of

[...what. Just...what was that? This wasn't the Lucrecia she knew; the nice lady who gave her marbles--and there were two of them besides. Was...that a spellcard, like her own...?]

Lucrecia?

[lovelyscientist]

Ah! Flandre... I'm sorry about the noise, really my apologies.

[u_n_asplode]

[She's still going to be blinking at you.]

...was that a...spellcard?

[lovelyscientist]

What? Ah... no, not really. It's a...

Can I ask what a spellcard is?

[Yes this is her attempt to avoid the topic. Well and she is curious. But mostly it's avoidance.]

[u_n_asplode]

[Flandre is easily distracted!]

A spellcard lets you do magic according to the rules.

I have one that lets me make four of me! But it gets confusing if I move around too much.

[lovelyscientist]

[Success then!]

Four of you? I find it hard enough keeping up with just one of me. Do you have any spellcards here?

[u_n_asplode]

Yes, and I end up seeing out of four pairs of eyes and hearing out of four pairs of ears and it would make me go insane.

[All aboard the irony train!]

Well, I have my Laevateinn now! I kept my spellcards in it, but...I'm chipped, so I don't think I can use them.

[lovelyscientist]

I wouldn't be surprised; it sounds like it would make anyone go insane.

Maybe not. I'm not very clear on how magic works for other worlds besides my own, so I couldn't say too well. Still when we finally find the chip things will be better. Did you receive your Laevateinn today?

[u_n_asplode]

Well, I can use other magic! But that wouldn't be following the rules and Reimu would hit me.

Yes! And I got Marisa's hat~

[lovelyscientist]

[Laughs] I didn't know magic was so strict.

Hm, Marisa must be missing it then. It's a lovely hat though, I'm glad you received something so nice.

[u_n_asplode]

The patterns are pretty, at least~

[She giggles, a little bit...and then becomes quiet.]

Maybe...maybe Marisa will come and find it! I wish Marisa was here...

...and Remi. And Meiling, and Sakuya.

...not Reimu, though. She has a stick and it hurts. A lot.

[lovelyscientist]

Maybe she will. It might be the scientists way of telling you to wait a little longer; it's possible at least.

What if Reimu came without her stick?

[u_n_asplode]

I hope so...

[Pause.]

...that would be nice, actually.

[Did we mention gohei stick hurts youkai like a boss yet?]

Just...don't tell Reimu I said that if she does come here! Or else she'll figure something else out.

[lovelyscientist]

[Ffff that sounds painful D:]

Of course not. It's just between us. Would you like some hot chocolate? I'm already making some for someone else and I don't drink it myself; I wouldn't want to let the rest of it go to waste.

[Because hot chocolate makes everything better! Or so she's hoping. It's not really blood is it.]

[u_n_asplode]

[DOESN'T LOOK PAINFUL DOES IT D:]

...that sounds nice~

[Yes it does! The chip makes her both dependent on and violently allergic to blood, so it's all good.]
