[Action - School]

[Marisa is sitting on top of the table in the cafeteria, legs crossed, as she's finishing up telling a tale to the other students sitting around her at lunch.]

...and that's why you need to be careful when you see lots of flowers just suddenly appearing all over the place, like they did here, ze. They could be a bunch of dead people just waiting for a lazy shinigami to take them across the Sanzu to Higan.

[Action - Makeout Point - Evening]

[Anyone attuned to the flow of magic with the capacity to sense it feel a surge coming from Makeout Point. In fact, this sudden concentration feels VERY much like Shana's Guren no Souyoku Unrestricted Method that grants her wings of flame.

Only it doesn't feel quite right. It doesn't feel like fire, but... starlight? A shimmering yellowish glow can be seen from the Point.]

[Phone]

So who wants to go to the Drive In? It's almost dark and I feel like seeing a movie on that really big screen with popcorn and some friends and b--

[She cuts herself off. No, no drinking tonight because... The phone is partially muffled as Marisa yells something back into her own house.]

Oi! Ciel! I'm taking the car tonight. No, I'm not going to drink. Yes, I know how to drive. And no, you're not stopping me. I already got the keys, ze.

[And back to talking on the phone.] So who wants to come with me? No boring people allowed.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Usually the people who know they're boring or will probably bore a bunch of teenagers will automatically stay away. Otherwise, they need to have a sense of humor and stories to tell.

Mostly the 'no boring people' thing is to keep the sticks in the mud that think they need to keep an eye on me away.

I suppose I am one of those "boring" people then. Still, if you need an escort, I can provide one.

[Unless, of course, all the teenagers knew some way to defend themselves.]

...an escort? I totally don't get why I'd need one of those. I already told on chaperon to screw off.

[Now that she thinks about it, the girl's words make sense. Mayfield, with its drones, is, unless in the case of a pre-planned event from the town, safer than other places. The only danger might come from unruly residents, but she cannot think of any reason that they would attack teens heading to or from the movie theater.]

...Are everyone in your party capable of defending themselves? Can they be trusted not to attack anyone?

Woah, woah, woah, lady. I don't even know who you are and you're asking me stuff like that? You're being awfully worried about a bunch of teenagers going to the movies.

You never know what might happen in this town.

[She sighs.]

But if you insist that you are alright, I suppose it is not my business who your party consists of.

And you never know who might look like they're just a girl but packing more magical power than an entire coven.

We'll be fine, ze.

...Do you know of magic?

[She cannot help but think the girl's proposed example is a little too specific.]

...who doesn't know of magic?

I mean as something other than rumors or legends. Do you practice it or know anyone who does?

Yup.

[Yes, she's being obstinate on purpose.]

...Another magic user. I had no idea that there were this many in Mayfield...

[She wonders if the girl is from her world or not.]

You're acting all surprised. Kinda weird considering there are beings like a Judge of the Dead here.

...What do you use your magic for.

[As an enforcer, she is supposed to stop magi who go too far in their experiments.]

Whatever I feel like, ze. I'm a witch.

Do not try to hurt anyone in this town.

[She has now shifted into a cold, slightly threatening tone, like she usually does when facing potential enemies. Of course, she leaves out the second part--that is, if this girl wants to hurt anyone, then she should do it in secret.]

What got your panties in a twist, ze? I haven't done anything.

As an Enforcer of the Mage's Association, it is my duty to mind things like these.

Things like what - teenagers going to the movies? Get a life, ze.

Like using your magic to hurt people.

[She frowns. Is the girl deliberately misinterpreting her words?]

And when did I say I was going to hurt people? I just wanna see a movie, ze.

You yourself stated that you do "anything you like" with your magic. I am not speaking about the current situation, but future ones. Do not try to harm anybody here in Mayfield.

[Except for the evil people. She would gladly overlook that.]

No, I said I can do anything I like with my magic, ze. [The eye roll is practically audible.] And who are you to threaten me? I ain't part of your Mage's Association.

Well, if you can do anything, what do you usually do?

[She is getting increasingly frustrated.]

You are still a magus. It is my duty to control these things.

What I usually do isn't any of your business, ze. Magicians generally like to not talk about their magic and what they're working on. You should know this is you're part of some magic organization. I've had my magic back here for a long time now and this is the first we've talked. I think that should tell you something about whether you need to 'control' me or not.
