Even a crushed piece of paper is more than nothing, even if it is the gas bill from that time Dad forgot the chicken wings in the oven and went to sleep. Like a gunslinger from the west, Marie takes out her phone and unlocks it in half a second, yet she finds her finger still. What was she about to write? A word? A number? Which number? 200? 250? Marie perceives the data in her head as almost perfectly accurate, it even considers the variances of degrees all over the page, yet it's hard to pin a number on it.
๑ Marie: ...crazy shit.
Blanc: Was was dat?
But she's met with Miharu's far too happy face instead of Marie's- and far too close.
Ӝ Miharu: Hiya! What's up, Shaniqua-chan?
Blanc: You greetin me twice?
Ӝ Miharu: Let's make tea!
Blanc: ...it's just making tea, but sure? ...help yourself?
Miharu is getting weird looks as she laughs. Marie, in the end, just wrote 'From 200 to 250' without specifying anything else. It doesn't matter if it's vague: it's still proof that she didn't fuck up her only life over nothing.
>"I wasn't out for as long as the other times –which I failed– but it's still a problem."
>"Do I need to expand my brain capacity or something?"
Dumbbell's ears perk up as Marie mumbles to herself aloud.
>("Or be even more specific and simple?")
>("Maybe I could've just asked for the exact weight of the paper to pick it up, and I wouldn't have fainted?")
>("Or maybe I need more experience in handling the flow of information?")
>("Or maybe I could slow down how fast the information comes in?")
>("Or-")
๑ Marie: (Damn. Right. You can hear my thoughts. Sorry for the mental bombardment girl, It's hard to stop once I start.)
Dumbbell: (There's no need to worry, Marie-san. I only heard you mumbling.)
๑ Marie: (Oh, you didn't catch all that? But I was, like, thinking it loud.)
Dumbbell: (You can still choose which thoughts to share through telepathy. Think of it as talking in silence.)
๑ Marie: (Right. Aight, let's talk in silence. Dumbbell-san, you might have experience in watching people like me flounder around like this. Did you know of any Magical Girls with magic similar to mine?)
Dumbbell: (Yes... quite a few. It isn't uncommon for candidates to ask for a specific magical power. Most have a personal problem they want fix, but they also want to decide how they are going to try to fix it, so there is a logic to it.)
๑ Marie: (The way you talk makes it seem like it's a bad idea.)
Dumbbell: (I don't think it's a bad idea, but... I do think it's very hard to carry out properly. Natural magical powers, granted automatically, always come with their own logical set of rules and limitations, which is logical because it's based on very real factors like experiences or personality. However, magical powers that had been requested strictly adhere to the way the wish was worded- which can lead to irrational rules, sometimes impossible to fulfill.)
๑ Marie: (Damn.)
