<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Hmm? Oh, the invaders. The flying toys.</span>
Emma nods sagely, yet her fingers do tremble.
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">I’m actually kind of afraid… you know? Of what I’d do if I had those idiots of the Order of the End at my mercy. They went after our family to get to us. They didn’t mind the Veil at all.</span>
Angel swallows loudly.
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">So what would you do?</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">I don’t know… I’d still like to talk. To reason. But I do dread that I might end up doing something terrible. Something I’d always regret.</span>
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Just beat the shit out of them, sugar. End of story.</span>
Emma giggles, but it’s tuned down.
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">I guess so. So, um, how does your magic work?</span>
Angel takes time itself for free to munch and munch. Emma waits patiently, looking at her glass of champagne with many mixed feelings and worries.
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">I call it /omnipresence/. I can go anywhere instantly, but, well, you saw it. Hurts like a bitch. That’s the thing.</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">How do you know where you’ll end up?</span>
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">I just, like, get this map of the world inside my head whenever I’m about to use it, down to the smallest things. It’s pretty raw. But then I forget everything when I use it. It’s like it was never there in the first place.</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Do you have to be touching the person that you take with you? Can you choose what to take? Could you bring the ground with you on accident?</span>
Angel scratches her chin.
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Yes. Yes. No? Hope not.</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">It’s harder on you the further you go, right, Angel?</span>
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Yeah. If I go too far, it hurts. If I use it too often, it hurts. I know Magical Girls that can do the same stuff differently without almost winding up with a piece of charcoal instead of a Soul Gem. My magic is cool and all, but for what it does it’s still too expensive. No point in getting anywhere if you are dead on arrival.</span>
