[ silence, then: ]

We won't. We're gonna do better this week. We're gonna figure out what all this team bullshit means and how to get around it.

[ruffboi]

Yeah.

[Nodding, and then - ]

Winter Wizard, Lady Macbeth, I can shake off a curse if I need to, but somebody else will get it.

[disreguarded]

[ her lips twitch. ]

Black Shadows. The Babadook. I can make people think they're seeing a huge monster and it scares the shit out of them. Like, stuns them, they're so scared.

[ruffboi]

Oh. Heh. Yours is a lot more useful.

[He's a little jealous?]

[disreguarded]

[ she snorts. ]

I guess. It's useful for about a minute, and then it's back to me fucking running. [ she glances at him. ] I haven't really used it.

[ruffboi]

Yeah, I can imagine. I can't use mine either, really, because I can't control who gets it after me. If I got hit with something nasty. . .

[There are too many people he can imagine being hurt like that.]

I was able to test it out safely last week, though don't ask how.

[disreguarded]

Mm. [ a pause. ] I've used mine once ever, and it was only because that person really wanted to see what I could do.

Sorry. I gotta be vague. I really don't want anybody to end up with a missing arm.

[ruffboi]

Yeah, you're good. Though now I kinda wanna see him! I don't scare that easily...

[He wants! To fight! The Babadook!]

[disreguarded]

You would with this thing. It's whole purpose is to scare people.

[ she's grinning though. ] I'm not gonna waste it. I can only use it once a week, and if someone tries to pick me off, I gotta use it then.

[ruffboi]

Yeah, you better hang on to it. But if you ever need to test it on somebody. . .

[Let him fight! The Babadook!!!!]

[disreguarded]

[ a laugh, as she elbows him. ]

Yeah, yeah. You'll be first in line, Magnus.
