[ She felt stiff. The surface on which she lay on was too smooth, too even. She groans, stretching her eyes and gazing at her surroundings, her cat-like eyes sharp and wary. This was not the Midlands. With a graceful leap, she lands on her feet in a careful crouch, reading for her weapons –

. . . Her agiels. Gone. She straightens, a scowl marring her face. Without caring who heard her, she speaks, her voice cold and deadly. ]

I don’t know how you managed to touch my agiels, considering they pay you back in pain tenfold. But if you are foolish enough to take them, I assume you are foolish enough to test my patience.

I’ll warn you though. Do not test it for long or I’ll pay it back, inch by inch. Now. . .

[ She surveys the bridge. She knows she’s being watched, even though she can’t tell how. Honed battle instincts whisper to her that this is a strange situation and there’s little she can do about it . . . for now.

In the most deadpan of voices. ]

Why is everything metal and why was it necessary? Did someone murder every architect? Because I would for this . . . lazy work.

How do they dispose of us when we do not perform adequately?

[dontthinkaboutelephants]

I don't know; hasn't happened yet to my knowledge. Hoping it doesn't, so we can figure a way out of here.

[Although... that feeling's gotten complicated with the friendships he's gained since appearing here.]

[revengeofthemordsith]

Then I will simply find a way.

[ She's coolly confident, fully believing in her own power. ]

[dontthinkaboutelephants]

Confident, are we?

[He seems a tad amused. Who knows, though? Maybe she'll come up with something.]

I've been researching the trends in people Atroma chooses, but the data's been inconclusive so far.

[revengeofthemordsith]

[ Her brow creases as she attempts to parse that. ]

If magic is involved, then I might find a way. I can repel all magic, no matter how strong.

[dontthinkaboutelephants]

All magic? Huh. That might be handy. I don't know if it involves a highly advanced technology or magic or what, but it's nice to know we have someone like you around.

There isn't magic in my world, so I'm a little lost on that subject.

[revengeofthemordsith]

I have never known any exceptions to the rule.

And you're fortunate. Magic always makes things far more complicated.

[ She's a simple person at heart. ]

[dontthinkaboutelephants]

My world's still pretty complicated with dream sharing.

Do you yourself have magic? Or do you only repel it?

[revengeofthemordsith]

You had better spend more time with reality then.

[ She nods. ] I have but one other. The ability to repel and the breath of life.

[dontthinkaboutelephants]

Dream sharing's become a passion of mine, complicated or not.

What's the breath of life? A resurrection spell?

[revengeofthemordsith]

It seems very . . . personal.

[ She scowls lightly. ] I suppose it can be called that. It needs no words though.
