That's what you said.

[powerplay]

No, you said that!! What do you mean you're a wizard!!

[perfectdistance]

Humans don't live for hundreds of years.

[powerplay]

[ ??? ]

Show me your profile, human! Wizard! Whatever! How old are you?

[perfectdistance]

'round 600.

[He'll start heading into the city?]

[powerplay]

600 . . .





Weeks?

[perfectdistance]

[snorts.]

Years.

[powerplay]

You look pretty young for 600!

[perfectdistance]

Magic.

[Anyway they are in front of the profiles now.]

[powerplay]

[ Did you know I think a lot that Nero Bain and Bradley Turner both would sound more like reasonable names. But there's just something specifically about Nero Turner that always puts me in the ground. Somehow Bradley Turner sounds less ridiculous, though its probably because it's Roman Emperor followed by Todd Turner.

Anyway here they are. She's looking through the profiles. ]

Where is yours? Ggh... there is so much reading...

[perfectdistance]

[Brad Turner is just some white B-list actor somewhere, and sometimes I lie awake in bed and have the thought bouncing around in my head.

He will take her to his actual profile, because it's just out there. Out in the open.]

[powerplay]

[ For the next April Fools they will do surname swaps and we'll have Brad Turner for real. ]

Delicate magic?

[ She apparently went right over the breaking and entering bit and stealing stuff. She doesn't care about that shit. ]

[perfectdistance]

Movin' a lot of things at the same time.

[powerplay]

[





She's just. She's waiting, as if there should be more than this. ]

[perfectdistance]

[He says nothing else.]

[powerplay]

Did you mishear? I said magic.

[perfectdistance]

Yeah? That's what my magic's good at.

[powerplay]

Moving things? I could do that with my hands! Or even my blood! [ IF SHE HAD IT. ]

[perfectdistance]

You only got the two hands.

[Anyway, there's other stuff he can do but also.

He's a weak wizard (lies).]

[powerplay]

More if I have my blood!

I guess it sounds like it's useful for... chores...

[ Man, she was counting on you to be cooler, man. Why can't you advertise yourself as like, having telekinesis? That sounds cooler on paper. ]

[perfectdistance]

[No! He's boring and he's sticking to it.]

But you don't right now. Nobody's got their usual powers 'round here.

[powerplay]

Neither do you! So you're gonna have to move stuff around by hand also!

[perfectdistance]

Yeah.

... So why's it on my profile if I can't even do it.

[powerplay]

I dunno. Seems like everyone's got a lot of funny stuff written about them. The guy with the beard [ Kotetsu ] insisted he doesn't run weirdly or ruin plans even though the papers say so.

[perfectdistance]

The "Wild Tiger" guy?
