CLOVER: GAAAAAAAAAAAH!

SELENA: Are you two alright?
EFFY: Ugh... G-Guhhhh...
CLOVER: Shit-- Shit! Eff! You okay?! Can ya hear m--
EFFY: 'M fine... T-Thanks.
SELENA: ... Do you pounce on people a lot?
CLOVER: The fuck kinda question is that??
SELENA: I mean, maybe you could snatch the birds right out of the air!
EFFY: Ohh... That'd look cool...
CLOVER: ... Fuckin'... Look, how 'bout ya two maybe sit this out and...
EFFY: Nnn... No! Clo, you can't do this on your own!
SELENA: If she thinks she can, I'd sure like to see that!
EFFY: Noooo. We're doing this together.
CLOVER: Geez. Can ya even stand?
EFFY: ...
CLOVER: ... Uh, after I get offa you.
EFFY: Y-Yeah.

SELENA: So! Let's all come up with a plan together, shall we~? You know what they say about teamwork!
SELENA: What can you two do? I'm pret-ty sure I heard something about magic!
EFFY: Um... Y-Yeah. I've got... plant-y powers. I, um, I can make vines grow...
SELENA: Oh, wow! What about you there?
CLOVER: Fuck, I mean... I like buildin' stuff, but that's not gonna help.
EFFY: Oh, wait! You're really good with animals!
CLOVER: ... I guess.

>Okay, but that worked! It came for the bread! We just need to be ready for it, next time! And... also get more bread.

> Okay, but that worked! It came for the bread! We just need to be ready for it, next time! And... also get more bread.

SELENA: Let's seeeeee... If she can't snatch the birds out of the sky, maybe you could - you know, with the viney thing?
EFFY: O-Oh! Um, I'm not sure... I could try, but I'm still not very good at it...
EFFY: Clo, do you know any bird calls?
CLOVER: Bird ca-- Wait, wait, wait, hold it! You're overthinkin' this!
CLOVER: The bread worked! We just gotta get some more, alright? I'll hold it, and then I'll... Fuck, I dunno, I'll punch the bastards in the face when they swoop in or somethin'.

SELENA: That's not very teamworkish of you.
EFFY: Yeah... Oh, uh, but that's not a big problem! I-I know you just don't want me getting hurt.
EFFY: T-The problem is we're all out of bread. I'm sorry... I thought I brought more, but it looks like it's all gone now.
CLOVER: *huffs* Alright, we'll figure out the "teamwork" crap later. Y'gonna cover the bait expenses, lady?
SELENA: Actually, I don't have to~
CLOVER: Say wh-- Uh, what the fuck're ya rummagin' around in the trash for?
SELENA: To get this!

EFFY: A newspaper...?
SELENA: Right now, sure. Buuut...!

SELENA: Ta-daaa!

EFFY & CLOVER: *GAAAASP*

>Holy crap, you've got bread powers?!

>A MAGICIAN?!

>Transmutation?! Or is it just an illusion?

> A Flourmancer? Impossible!

> A Flourmancer? Impossible!

CLOVER: ... You've got freakin' bread powers?!
EFFY: Haha!
CLOVER: Whoa, that's cold, comin' from you.
EFFY: ... What?
CLOVER: I mean, yeah, it's a stupid power, but you laughin' at the woman? That's just...
EFFY: ...
EFFY: Clo, she doesn't have bread powers, she's just... magic!
CLOVER: Yeah, and she's got bread powers! She can turn shit into bread!
EFFY: N... No! She can turn things into other things! Right?
SELENA: Heee~
EFFY: Wait...

> Transmutation?! Or is it just an illusion?

EFFY: ... Does it just look like bread?
SELENA: Yup! Well, it should taste like it, too. I'm verrry good at illusions.
SELENA: Wanna try it?

CLOVER: ... You askin' us if we wanna eat a chunk of paper?
SELENA: Well, yeah? You shouldn't even notice it's paper until... I dunno, after you've digested it, probably.
CLOVER: No.

Wait a minute. If she really can turn whatever into whatever, or make it look like that's what happened (you don't actually care about the specifics as long as you don't have to put stuff into your mouth), then this opens up a whole new world of possibilities!

It's not like you're too keen on all this magic nonsense, but this is a special case - those birds are even worse than regular birds, and regular birds are assholes as it is. You should do all you can to use the weird lady's abilities to your advantage, right? It'd be stupid not to.

>The best and most logical option would be for her to make a bread-flute and lead the birds away like the pied piper.

Can we conjure bigger, scarier birds? Illusory birds that can chase the other birds in the direction we want them to go? Or do her illusions require a specific target to enchant? If they do, then that plan's a bust, since we don't have anything that can fly.

...unless she can enchant us, so that we look like we're further off the ground than we really are, and we can run around on the ground pretending to be chasing them through the sky.

WAIT NO SCRATCH ALL THAT

>You said these were your friend's birds? What if you enchanted one of us to look like her? Would they calm down and flock to their owner?

Problem is, even if we can control their movements, what's our endgame here? Do we have cages? Are we trying to banish them? Capture them? Kill them?

>Imitate bird calls.

> The best and most logical option would be for her to make a bread-flute and lead the birds away like the pied piper.



Let's see...

Wait, what? No! What the fuck are you thinking?

This Selena girl is a terrible influence.

> Imitate bird calls.

EFFY: ... Clo? Are you listening?
CLOVER: GUH!
CLOVER: Uh, yeah? Why wouldn't I be??
EFFY: Okayyy... So, would it be okay if I tried doing the bird calls while you--
CLOVER: Goddammit, nobody's doing bird calls! D'ya even know any?!
EFFY: ... No...
EFFY: Um... I was just thinking of something else, actually. But it might be a little complicated...
SELENA: Complicated how?
EFFY: ... Magically?
SELENA: Oh, you'd be surprised. I'm listening!

> You said these were your friend's birds? What if you enchanted one of us to look like her? Would they calm down and flock to their owner?

EFFY: Can you... use your illusions on people, too?
SELENA: Yup!
SELENA: Why, I'm doing it right now~
EFFY: WHOA REALLY IS IT YOU WHAT DO YOU REALLY--
CLOVER: Later! Later!
EFFY: U-Um... Right. Anyway, my point is... I was wondering if maybe you could make one of us look like your friend. The one you said these birds belonged to?
SELENA: ...
EFFY: Because... they trust her! Right? And... And maybe that way we could just take them somewhere else, and, um, maybe find some big cages, or...

EFFY: R-Right, never mind, that wasn't a very good ide--

SELENA: Let's do it!!!

>OPERATION CLO-FUR IS GO

>Eek! Personal space, lady!

NO THANKS I DON'T LIKE TO BE MAGICKED

>Query: Will it have side-effects?

>You know... just in case the illusion isn't just quite enough, people who try to catch birds usualy use nets to make sure the bird don't go away once baited, way more efficient than fists, promess. (in a pinch any kind of large stong cloth or tarp could do)

> Eek! Personal space, lady!

CLOVER: Hold it, hold it, hold it! Get the fuck back!
SELENA: What's wr--
EFFY: S-Sorry, she's kind of...!
CLOVER: Who said I was cool with this? Hell, why's it gotta be me?! I'm not the one who's been screamin' about magic for 48 hours straight here!

EFFY: Um... Right. That's okay. I don't mind doing this. I-It doesn't matter which one of us gets the disguise, right?
SELENA: ...
EFFY: So... I can be the bait, sort of! And while I keep the birds calm, maybe Clo could run back home and get a net... or a bunch of nets... Oh, wait!

> Query: Will it have side-effects?

EFFY: There won't be any, um, side-effects or anything like that, right?
EFFY: Don't get me wrong, I trust you! It's just... I don't know if my mom is entirely on board with all this magic stuff yet, so I need to be careful - oh, and Clo would get super mad...

EFFY: ... right...
EFFY: C-Clo?!
CLOVER: What?
EFFY: CLO!!
SELENA: Oh my gosh, you look amazing! There's no way this won't work!
CLOVER: ... What?!
EFFY: I-I'll go get the nets!

>"Wait, what happened? What did you do?!"

>Remain blissfully unaware of what's happened. You actually feel better.

Just give Clo a thumbs up. Everything'll be perfectly fine. Besides, she pulls off the catgon look off flawlessly.

>... If you take a picture with your phone, will the ilusion be captured ? ... time to find out because winged ct clover is jsut precious and must be captured for posterity !

> Remain blissfully unaware of what's happened.



You... aren't sure what the fuck is going on, because you look the same, but it doesn't sound like you should.

CLOVER: Hey. What's-yer-face.
SELENA: ... Ssselena?
CLOVER: Whatever. What'd ya do to me?
SELENA: Well, I didn't exactly do something TO you... It's more like I did it ON you?
CLOVER: That's the same fuckin'--
SELENA: So you can't see it? Weird...

> Just give Clo a thumbs up. Everything'll be perfectly fine. Besides, she pulls off the catgon look off flawlessly.

EFFY: Don't worry!
EFFY: I'll be back soon!
EFFY: ... A-And you look really cool!

> ... If you take a picture with your phone, will the ilusion be captured ? ... time to find out because winged ct clover is jsut precious and must be captured for posterity !

EFFY: Oh! Take a selfie!
CLOVER: A what??
EFFY: A picture of yourself! For posterity!
EFFY: ... And so you can see how cool you look!

CLOVER: A fuckin'... "selfie"? Really? Did she make that up?
SELENA: No, I think it's a thing. Or it's becoming a thing, anyway!
CLOVER: Words can't just...
CLOVER: You can't MAKE UP words and just start usin' 'em like that, that's not how it works.
SELENA: ... Words get made up all the time.
CLOVER: No they don't!
SELENA: Nobody knew what a phone was back in the day!
CLOVER: ... You're lucky I'm lettin' ya be in this picture, don't think I didn't notice.

SELENA: Ohhh, my gosh! Can you send me this picture when we're done here?
CLOVER: What?!
SELENA: ... What? I'm in the picture, I can keep it.
CLOVER: *grumble*

>Hey, is there some reason your friend looks like some sorta demon?
