another misfire

[cattack]

I nearly punched a CSI in the face to prove magic is real.

[ladytakamaki]

What?!
Cleo!!!

[cattack]

[WHAT THE FUCK]

Ann?
I am so sorry.
This was not meant to go to you.

[ladytakamaki]

I figured...
But this actually sounds like a good story!
Tell me more?

[cattack]

There's not much of a story.
The man was telling me that the magic in my visions, as well as that which I can do now, was not magic, but some kind of science we don't understand.
And compared it to a TV show.
I nearly punched him so I could heal it and prove the magic.

[ladytakamaki]

Who's this man?!
Is he on Retrospec? If he is then he's crazy! After everything last month? How can he say that?

[cattack]

It seems he just became a part of Retrospec a couple of days prior to my meeting him at the police meetup.
I think he'll understand in time.
Rather, if he doesn't, I really will show him my magic.

[ladytakamaki]

...Oh. So...that must mean he's a newbie, huh?
Maybe you should punch him.

[cattack]

[There's a pause before she replies.]

If I'm being perfectly honest...
If I was not surrounded by the entire Recolle PD, it's entirely possible I would have.

[ladytakamaki]

Call him out! Tell him you'll show him what magic really is!

[cattack]

I imagine doing so then and there would have had consequences for my job shadow...

[ladytakamaki]

...Okay, that's true.

What if you used me as a demonstration?

[cattack]

What?
No.
Absolutely not.
You're my friend, I'm not punching you!

[unless it's like, martial arts sparring, but that's entirely different]

[ladytakamaki]

And I'm your friend, so as long as you can patch me up right after then it's totally fine, okay?

[cattack]

It's not fine.
I'm strong.
I don't want to risk hurting you.

[ladytakamaki]

What if you just scratched me?

[cattack]

I suppose that would work...
Although I doubt even that would be enough to persuade him.

[ladytakamaki]

He just sounds like he doesn't want to believe in anything.

[cattack]

Apparently, he got Retrospec a couple days before I met him.
He'll learn.

[ladytakamaki]

Too bad he wasn't here last month.
Then he would've believed in anything.

[cattack]

If only. He seemed intent on explaining my own visions to me.
Because they couldn't possibly be magic.
I think that would make him dig in and deny harder.

[ladytakamaki]

Can I ask who this guy is?

[cattack]

Derek Matthews, CSI.
I don't usually go with CSI on my job shadow, so I don't think I'll see him much in the future, thankfully.

[ladytakamaki]

Never heard of him, but I guess that's because he's new?
He'll get it eventually.

[ aaaand there's a misfire to derek for the second half of this text. ]

[cattack]

I hope eventually comes sooner, rather than later.
But yes, he's new.
And he's likely to make a fool of himself on the network eventually as well.
