[Magic being flooey? Not a problem. Okay, it is, but she figures it'll right itself sooner or later, preferably sooner. The problem was it was draining her fast, and when she can't control her own magic, well...]

I don't suppose anyone knows where I can find an army of rabbits? [Because her room? Is kind of having a carrot bonanza behind her. Probably enough to last her a long time if she ate nothing but the darned things. Not that she can normally conjure then, but side-effects were a pain if they happened without her consent. At least it's stopped now, and she's thinking trying anything else that's magical is a big n o until this resolves itself.]

Alternatively, anyone needs more vitamin orange in their diet? I mean, I'm all for a healthy living, but I rather like being more flesh than yellow. I can trade them for whatever, it's cool. [And yes, she will be nibbling one of those carrots as if this was normal.] I bet they'd go well in your dinner plans.

I'll figure out how to transport it later.

[And at that he laughs harder.] Did you know that she did? He showed up at my house, totally ready to attack me, giant green fist and everything, and she completely tore him down! It was pretty great.

You want me to come with?

[Baaack up.] Seriously? How did she even manage that? [Because seriously. Giant green fist versus the nice lady.]

You know I would, but only if you've got nothing else lined up. It's better to see the situation with our own eyes, after all.

She's nice to you cause you haven't caused any problems, but when my mom wants to be scary? You better believe she can be scary.

Please. I'm bored hanging around here doing nothing. I'd rather be out investigating.

I'd like to think I made a very good first impression on her. [Hey, those cookies were expensive! Not that they got to taste it anyway since she ended up here with it when she woke up.]

Then let's get these carrots out of the way and head out. Best to start an investigation early while the trail is fresh.

Don't worry. She likes you a lot-- which says a lot, 'cause you know how she is.

Lead the way! I'll box up the last, um, few dozen of 'em.

I've gotten the idea. I'm glad to hear that though.

[She so wished she had her magic to make this faster.] All right then. Let's finish up and go. [They've managed to box up most of them anyway, so in a few minutes they're ready and heading out just as planned.]

[Also as planned, Jaime's following, close at Traci's side. Turns out that without the Scarab his sense of direction's a little lacking.]

You seem to be picking up way more things than I am here.

I've been here a little longer than you have. You know me, can't keep my feet on the ground longer than a few minutes at a time.

I found this place when we got a dose of alien crashlanding, actually.
