[As she starts to talk, it's clear she's talking as she's walking outside.]

I've got a question that I've been wondering since I, well. [Slight pause.] Nearly blew out a wall on the side of our house testing something out with my powers.

Is there anywhere to reliably test abilities that's not going to attract a lot of attention? Particularly for loud, destructive abilities?

I sort of feel like blowing something up after this week could be cathartic.

[There's a momentary beat, then an absent:] I hate this time of year.

[...longer pause. Ah. Whoops.] ...the weather, I mean. The cold. I, uh. Spent half my life in Los Angeles. Still haven't gotten used to that or the snow.

[Smooth save, Lily.] So, ha, running around in a magical dress is kind of... inconvenient...

[...we're just going to quietly end this message here. Yeah.]

That's a good question - whether or not you need to be wearing that dress for your powers, or whether they just make them stronger, or whether you could switch them out for something less voluminous with no cost except the time spent changing into them.

[After all, no two magical girls are the same.]

As it stands now, what do you think is the case for you?

It's a whole transformation... thing. I'm just a normal person without them, although now I've got some really sharp reflexes I didn't before.

But the super strength, speed, and energy blasts... All of that only comes when I'm fully transformed. Hair, dress, everything.

As far as you know, yes... but have you actually tried removing the dress while you're transformed?

That seems far more cumbersome than it could ever be worth, not to mention not very practical.

Well, not unless you knew you were needing to fight and didn't want it to get in the way of your moves.

If you find something tell me. I'd love to be able to blast magic to my heart's content.

By all means. It'd be better for everyone if we at least look like we know what we're doing.

I'm actually kind of surprised. The way it moves and flows, it never does.

I need to get a few more spells too, then I can really mess people up.

A while back someone found an abandoned warehouse in Dead District to practice stuff in. That was a couple months ago though, so I'm not sure how its been since.

Well, that's improbable but still possible. Or just standard power weirdness.

Although if that's true why is running around in it inconvenient? Just because of the attention?

Most of us head towards the outskirts... But be ready to run if you cause a really big boom.

I believe I talked with someone who mentioned a warehouse the other day. I wonder if this is the same one?

Regardless, the Dead District is not an ideal option. And no matter how abandoned, I'm going to be blowing things up. I- ah, well, it would be good to test the limits of those powers, I think.

"Messing people up" isn't exactly what I'm looking for, here.

Well, it's a dress.

No pants.

And it's around freezing right now.

See, that's the thing. The "big boom" is sort of the problem.

Ah, yeah. The insulation must be terrible. But, it covers most everything, doesn't it? Could be worse.

Okay, so, like, control's probably more important, right? So you don't mess up the wrong people, buildings, roads... bridges...

Hmm. Is it a cute magic dress, at least?

[ ~~#reconnaissance~~ #priorities ]

It's- well. [Hm. She hadn't really given much thought to it. She considers that for a moment, while clearly entering a store busy with Saturday foot traffic.]

...actually, I guess I'd say it's very pretty.

How destructive?

Let's just say I need to do some shopping, and replace some things in the back yard. I hope I can find the same bird bath and garden gnomes. I THOUGHT I was only using a little bit of power, but I don't know... Filtering out the instincts I got when not in an actual fight isn't easy.

Right. I get the feeling the Precures fought a lot... The monsters I mentioned before? It felt like I'd seen them more than a couple times.

Without going out and seeking a fight or being attacked by random explosive snake statues, we don't have anything like some sort of... pattern to rely on to learn by the seat of our pants.

And when I describe it all like that? [She can almost be heard audibly slapping her head.] God, it does sound like an anime.

But either way, it means we need to know what we're doing before the bad stuff happens. Again.

Well, there's my legs. And she only has one long glove over one arm, for some reason. Either way - it's cold and this could create annoyances.

[She was not expecting this attempted diversion to actually go into real conversation. She's running out of things beyond "IT'S COLD"]

It does... and you're right. If there are going to be monsters, more like those snakes or something else, aliens, cyborgs, animal people... god, that's a lot of shit to deal with.

So, I guess we should know what we're doing for everyone's sake.
