She's not looking...Now's my chance!

Ahem...If there are any dashing heroes out there who feel like rescuing poor little me from a cruel tyrant, I'm waiting! Yes, I'm in the clutches of an evil, abusive witch. She makes me work nonstop, for days at a time, until I just can't go on...She thinks slapping a little duct tape on me will make everything

Rita?

...What are you going to do to them?

[blastiafreak]

...Okay, now I know it's your imagination.

[stargathering]

It's not! Why would I imagine that?

[blastiafreak]

Because it sounds ridiculous.

[stargathering]

That's what I thought, but you haven't denied it until now.

[blastiafreak]

Because you never mentioned anything like that in the first place, idiot. I never heard anything.

[stargathering]

...So it only matters if both of us heard them ask for help?

[blastiafreak]

It matters if you're hearing voices telling you weird things. Are you just going to believe everything you hear?

[stargathering]

I don't usually question when someone is telling me they're being tortured. [ ...But he sorta trusts Rita enough to believe she's not torturing people for science. ]

[blastiafreak]

[An irritated sigh. She suspects something's wrong but doesn't know where the "voices" are coming from, anyway. She turns on her device's video for Tyr to see the lab she's in, and gives it a half-hearted pan around the room.] There. Does it seriously look like I'm torturing people?

[stargathering]

[ He looks around to see the same messy room that he's seen before, and relief washes over him. Sure, it's not definitive proof, but... He's pretty sure Yuri wouldn't let people be tortured. Are they from the same world? Tyr doesn't even know this. Thankfully. ]

No... But who was pulling that prank before?

[blastiafreak]

If I knew that, I'd go blast them for being a pain!

[She clenches a fist, then with that out of her system for the moment, calms down a bit.]

It could just be a curse. Estelle and Connell said they heard voices too. Or maybe someone's trying to ruin my credibility.

[stargathering]

Maybe... It's strangely specific, but it's probably some sort of curse unless you made enemies at City Solutions already...

[blastiafreak]

If nothing else happens after today, then we'll know it was a curse.

...I still haven't heard anything. [Although suspicious, not entirely sure she believes the voices.]

[stargathering]

Well, if it's a curse, it could just be that you're unaffected, but... [ Yep, we'll know tomorrow. ]

[blastiafreak]

One that affects everyone but me? [Not that she'd complain about not being cursed.]

There's no point in just standing around making guesses. I'm going to get back to work.
