[Today, network, you are getting a view of Molly's apartment. More specifically, the floor of Molly's apartment, where a circle of power has been drawn with chalk. In that circle, there are -- well, there were three tribbles. There's a few more, now. Anyway, the tribbles are happily meandering around the circle; Molly is not too far off, staring hard at the circle and obviously concentrating, murmuring things under he breath.

After a few moments, the tribbles are moving rather slower, almost sleepily -- and, more importantly, they aren't reproducing. There's a hint of frost on the walls of the circle. Molly blinks, then grins and turns to the camera.]

Well. There's one way of solving our tribble problem. I could try and do a really big one if anyone wants, but I'm not sure how long it takes for them to, uh, thaw out.

Oh, see, I'm more sci-fi myself. But Harry likes Westerns, I think.

This Harry guy's got a lick of sense then.

[A smile.]

...Sometimes! When he's not exploding things!

[storm_warning]

When?

[That-- Just. Ororo stares.]

How often does this exploding thing happen?

[magicalpadawan]

[She considers this for a long moment.]

Usually no more than once or twice a month. Though when he's tired it tends to happen more. [She sounds like this is pretty much a daily thing. Let's face it, when you're around Harry long enough, it is.]

When I was learning fire spells I set the kitchen on fire every day for a week.

[The fact she had to pause and calculate that is a real worry on Ororo's radar.]

A month.

[That's half a burst of laughter from her, for the record.]

That's got to be hard on the reno costs.

[Eh. She'll get used to it, if Harry ever shows up. For her part, Molly is grinning rather cheekily.]


Yeah, but he's used to it by now. Too much magic on that place to let it go, really.

Any of that magic make it bombproof?

[A dubious comment from a dubious mutant.]

video;

[magicalpadawan]

Not as much as you would think, really.

video;

[storm_warning]

Ouch, then that really sucks for reno costs. Maybe you should just live in a bomb shelter.

[magicalpadawan]

[A little laugh.] Does underground count?

video;

[storm_warning]

Only if it keeps him in.

[A beat.]

I bet it doesn't, huh.

video;

[magicalpadawan]

Hell, no. Wouldn't keep me in, either.

Re: video;

[storm_warning]

Than mean you're sporting the same firepower?

["As Harry the Demolition Man" is what she means.]

video;

[magicalpadawan]

Not in terms of explosions, no, but I'm working on that still. I'm good with mental stuff.

video;

[storm_warning]

Mental stuff? [A beat.] You mean braincreeping?

video;

[magicalpadawan]

[There's a long pause, then a firm nod.] If it's necessary.

video;

[storm_warning]

Neat.

[It's not against the law in her world, just a bit weird to her. Her reaction reflects that, being of no particular care one way or another.]

Never figured a walking cherry bomb for a telepath.

[magicalpadawan]

[There's a little bit of a laugh.]

I like to stand out.
