Ugh. That’s what I’m afraid of.

... But given the complexity of our situation, I’ll probably have to expect any solution to be a major pain in the ass to carry out...

I guess so! You know, it sounds like you have plenty of experience with messy situations like these. Am I right?

[overlimit]

You could say that...

The "kidnapped and stripped of magic" part's new, but the messiness, the likelihood of there being some bozo with a dumb scheme behind it all, I've been there.

You?

Wow! I was right, you are the voice of experience! [A beat.] Wait. Maybe I should be more worried that something close enough happened before...?

[Ma'am, your video game antagonists.]

Anyhow— this is all super, one hundred percent, new to me.

[overlimit]

I'd be pretty concerned if getting mixed up in messes like this were that common of an experience.

[and YET...]

On the bright side, the bigger the scheme, the more flaws it probably has.

You think so? That's a pretty optimistic way to look at it.

[overlimit]

Is it? I'm pretty sure it's just logic.

[txt]

You're hoping that the bigger the plan, the more holes it has. That sounds pretty optimistic to me.

[overlimit]

Whatever. You got a problem with that?

[txt]

Oh. No, no. Not at all. I was just making conversation.

[overlimit]

[just. making this face]

[txt]

... Yes?
