[Luci's voice comes on over the network, and she sounds pretty excited.]

I got something back! Not just some vague feeling or a maybe memory, but an actual power! This is completely unexpected! I didn't think in my wildest dreams that I'd be able to use magic or anything like that, especially like this!

It started earlier, and since then, through lots of experimentation, I've been able to figure out the following: I can make things brighter, and I mean REALLY bright, but not darker; I can make little balls of light in my hands, but I'm not sure if they just stay there or if I can do anything with them--I really don't want to accidentally break something in my room; also, this--

[The video turns on to a bright, glowing blond's face. And arms. And yeah everything. It's almost like there are dancing lights underneath her skin. Meet Luci, resident goody two-shoes, overachiever, and now human disco ball.]

Which is really cool, but I haven't actually figured out how to turn it off yet. So, um, help? Anyone?

The difference being as an archaeologist I would actually be doing that.

Wait, so it really does work like that? I thought that was just movie glamour.

Not to that degree, but there are some obstacles to be overcome. Usually ancient cultures didn't want people getting into where they buried their royals.

So no face-melty booby trapped tombs? That's disappointing.

Well until recently I didn't think I could shoot magic from my hands so anything's possible. Just nothing we've found.

Point. I figured, since your face is still very much in-tact. I guess I just read too many fantasy novels, so hearing that is a little disappointing.

Well if I do find one I'll be sure to let you know.

Please don't. I don't want to hear about your face getting melted off.

I'll make a special point of it.

Of not getting hurt, or making sure to tell me when you inevitably do?

I... uh...

No fair you didn't actually give me an out here.

Was I supposed to?

Yes!

Well, I regret to inform you, but that won't be happening anytime soon.

I suppose I can't argue with that.

[Not how she expected him to react, she blinks.]

So then you won't needlessly put yourself into danger anymore?

That I can't guarantee.

That's the answer I was expecting. You're impossible.

Adventure is in my blood, what can I say?

Just so long as your blood stays in your body, I'm fine.

It does!

Usually!

Usually?

Sometimes you run into trouble, it comes with the job.

But you could try to run into less trouble, right?

I can do that, yeah. Probably.
