[Here is one Rita, glancing off to the side of the camera defensively.]

Okay, if--if nobody comes and picks them up, I'm not keeping them all.

[A slight blurring of the video as the camera rotates, and the picture focuses on no fewer than half a dozen cats lounging in various spaces in the study.

Yeah, guess who was busy during that robbing curse. Eyes is nowhere to be seen...because he's out of sight of the device, comfortably situated in Rita's lap.]

[ooc: If your character owns a cat, feel free to have theirs be part of Rita's haul!]

I can make fire.

[blastiafreak]

Like that's anything special. Anyone can start a fire.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Don't be so stupid, it's different than that!

[blastiafreak]

And different how?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Because I don't need wood or whatever humans use to make fire!

[blastiafreak]

Wood isn't necessary. Fire is simply a fast reaction with oxygen that generates large amounts of heat and light energy. Wood isn't the only fuel that can be consumed in a fire.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Whatever, I don't care about any of that.

[blastiafreak]

Fine, fine--So what's different and unique about your method?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

[ MAGICALLY SETTING SOMETHING SMALL ON FIRE. Probably nothing major. ]

That!

[blastiafreak]

[She raises an eyebrow. It's a little interested, but nothing impressive.]

...And how did you do it?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

I just can.

[blastiafreak]

You can't just do something like that without even knowing anything about it!

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Sure I can!

[blastiafreak]

Not when you don't know what you're doing!

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

I just make it happen. That's all.

[blastiafreak]

But you can't even tell me how! How the hell do you not know how your own powers work?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

I just want it to appear and it does.

[blastiafreak]

...That's it? There has to be more to it than that.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Well, there isn't.

[blastiafreak]

No way! You probably just don't know what it is!

[Not that she can explain it either...which just makes it more frustrating.]

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

It's not like you get it!

[blastiafreak]

Wha--Of course I don't, if it's some weird ability from your world. I'd figure it out if I had a chance to study it!

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

I bet you couldn't do it!

[blastiafreak]

I could find out how it works, even if I can't do it! Who needs a lame ability like that, anyway?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

It's not lame!
