[Down they go! Mouse is helpful. Cissie thinks keeping Molly talking is the best bet to keep her distracted.] Yeah? What's it like?

[SPAM!]

[goodgrasshopper]

Finicky. You have to have pretty fine control for them, and not everyone can do that. [And there wasn't even a little bit of pride there. No siree, Bob.]

[SPAM!]

[cisskabob]

[Oho, Cissie noticed that!] Not everyone... but you can?

[SPAM!]

[goodgrasshopper]

Well, I don't like to brag...

[SPAM!]

[cisskabob]

No, please. Brag away! I don't know anything about magic, really.

[SPAM!]

[goodgrasshopper]

Well... I really am just an apprentice, and I'm still learning a lot. [Molly shrugged.] But illusions take more fine control than a lot of the bigger, flashier kinds of magic, and that's something I'm pretty good at. Not so much the big flashy stuff, though.

[SPAM!]

[cisskabob]

[Cissie grinned.] Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong in being awesome at the stuff that takes more control and finesse than the stuff that calls for brute force.

[SPAM!]

[goodgrasshopper]

Brute force might be a little more handy sometimes, but... I can turn myself invisible? That's pretty cool, right?

[SPAM!]

[cisskabob]

...That is really cool. That could come in really handy.

[SPAM!]

[goodgrasshopper]

It's pretty helpful when I'm trying to avoid being noticed... Like when I'm trying to sneak past my mom. Plus, the boss-man likes to keep me out of big fights, so if I'm veiled the bad guys can't find me. It was pretty much the first thing I learned how to do.

[SPAM!]

[cisskabob]

Man, that would have been so helpful when I was younger...

[SPAM!]

[goodgrasshopper]

It was helpful when I was trying to sneak my goth-phase self past my pretty conservative Mom. The first time I did it was by accident. After that? It was pretty handy.

[This distracting thing was working really well. For the most part, Molly wasn't even thinking about why she was wandering around in the dark with a bag over her head.]

[SPAM!]

[cisskabob]

[Success! That was the idea! ...I suppose they would have hit the bottom of the stairs now, so Cissie started guided her down the hall.]

Wow, I would have loved that! I... did a lot of sneaking around when I was younger.

[SPAM!]

[goodgrasshopper]

Oh yeah? Misspent youth?

[SPAM!]

[cisskabob]

[She laughed.] Something like that, maybe.

[SPAM!]

[goodgrasshopper]

Hm. I know a little about what that's like. [She frowned a little, and tugged at the cloth that wasn't not actually over her face.]

[SPAM!]

[cisskabob]

[Cissie squeezed Molly's hand, watching her. She spoke quietly.] We're almost to the infirmary. If they don't have the antidote ready quite yet, they're giving sedatives. So either way, it's almost over.

[SPAM!]

[goodgrasshopper]

...Yeah, I think I'd be okay with either one at this point.
