[As the screen activates, Rita is rifling through some of her papers. She's about to speak when she notices something and pauses.]

Huh? ...This is definitely my writing, but I don't remember...Oh. This is from--that parasite. This is so stupid. I just want to forget that whole thing.

{Filtered to deities // very difficult to hack}

Hey, deities! You're listening, aren't you? I want to make a trade.

[ooc: Strikes not there!]

[blastiafreak]

I was going through some notes I'd taken down. [While possessed.] I've got some things I'd like to try out, if I can.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

What kind of things, exactly?

[blastiafreak]

This. [Holding up a piece of paper with scribbled formulae and diagrams as though Yuri will have any idea what it means.]

I'm working out a technique for ionizing mana particles and compressing them into subunits to form organized chains. Of course, I need a way to overcome repulsion forces, but it should be doable.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

[Her only response is this face.]

[blastiafreak]

...

[Siiiighs.]

I'm making mana stick together. Is that simple enough for you?

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. Thanks, Rita.

So you're still continuing your research here, huh.

[blastiafreak]

Of course I am. You didn't think I was just going to sit around and do nothing, did you?

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Most people do in some way or another.

[blastiafreak]

What a pointless waste of time. If people are gonna do that, they'd be better off studying the City or going after the deities.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Speaking of research- wonder if Leon got back on that.

[blastiafreak]

I can't really picture him lazing around and wasting time, either. But if you really want to know, then just go ask him.

[Assuming that at this point she finished up her little trade, she's not so busy anymore.]

Oh, yeah--What did you want to talk about?

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

[Sigh]

You were infected, too, weren't you.

[not much of a question...]

1/2

[blastiafreak]

Uh-

2/2

[blastiafreak]

...Yeah. I was.

[It's not like it was a secret. She just didn't want to bring the stupid thing up.]

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Did the cupcakes knock it out?

[blastiafreak]

...It got driven out. It's gone now.

[Not quite answering the question.]

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Avoiding the question, huh? All right, I can deal with that. As long as you're okay, now.

[blastiafreak]

I-I'm not avoiding it! Who cares how it happened just as long as they're gone now?

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

It matters a lot, actually.

[blastiafreak]

...I don't get it, but--fine. That Ratatosk guy beat it out, all right?

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Ratatosk, huh.

Not too badly, I hope.

[blastiafreak]

It's not like I died.

[Bad choice of words, considering.]

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

[Internally flinching.]

I've fought him before- he's a hard hitter.

[blastiafreak]

Yeah, well, he's not exactly the sympathetic type.

...But he's not all bad if he stopped it, either.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear. I'll have to send him my thanks.
