Void Girl [Oh god it's back]

> Enthusiastic support for Geri opening the portal

GENO
"You can do it Geri! Crack that portal open! I know you can do it!"

Geri blushes delicately at your encouragement.



GERI
"OK, OK. I guess I can try."
"Full disclosure, though: I've only done a mana transfer once, and that was with Madam Diavla around to make sure I was doing it right. I can't promise it'll actually work, so don't hang me if I slip up."

ANTLERS
"You won't."

Something about Antlers' cool voice and easy confidence pulls an uncomfortable chuckle from Geri.

GERI
"'You won't' as in, 'you better not', or 'I have full faith in you'? 'Cause it's kind of hard to tell."

> How much control do we have over where we land?

GENO
"Wait a second. Can we control where we come out? What's to say we don't pop out in the worst place at the worst possible moment?"

ANTLERS
"That depends on your young mistress' technique. This plane is quite isolated from whence you came, I'm sure."
"Do you believe you can close the distance?"

GERI
"Well, I was until you said that! Now I'm not sure."

ANTLERS
"I don't mean to discourage you. It's merely a point worth considering."

Geri sighs, fiddling with the stump of her wand. You hover close and call her attention with a flicker of your viewport.

> Scan the wand

GERI
"What, you wanna look at this?"

You bob a nod, whirring softly as your PROPERTIES SCANNER warms up. Geri holds it closer to your sensor.

Code:

Scanning Object.

As your light dies down, Geri grimaces at the reading.

GERI
"Oh, wow. I didn't know it was possible to muck up something this bad. Either that, or you're mucked up, and your scanner's not as sensitive as it should be."
"Either way, that's... kind of depressing."
