[Sadie, if you know her, actually looks a little distressed.

She's mostly annoyed, though]

Right. So. That--and you all know exactly what I'm talking about, don't pretend you don't--but that? That whole incident? That is why you don't say the name of things you don't want showing up at your doorstep. Words have power. Names have a lot of power, and true names? True names can be used to kill. Whoever called that Thing--thanks a lot! If anyone needs me, I've got some potions to prepare before going to see if that Thing is actually in the city or if it was just projecting itself psychically.

[As she cuts it, you can hear her grumbling about "stupid mortals" and "honestly, don't you people watch television or read?"]

Pavel Chekov. It is very nice to meet you.

I hope I am not being rude, but can I see some of your magic? I have never met a magician before.

[Of course, he frames magician in the context of 'someone who can manipulate physics, possibly by using and channeling energy.' Weirder things have happened.]

[video]

[eye_of_isis]

Sure. Half a mo'.

[She retreats to her kitchen and comes back with a metal plate]

Watch. Ha-di.

[It breaks into several pieces]

Hi-nehm.

[And it's back together!]

[starcharter]

[He watches, completely fascinated. A grin slowly spreads across his face.]

Amazing!

I can do more, but that's easy to show over the network.

[She may be preening a bit]

Harder to claim it's fake, too.

[starcharter]

[Preen all you want, Chekov is completely genuine.]

I suppose demonstrating telepathy is not so easy to see over the network. Is it dangerous to do so against something so sinister?

[video]

[eye_of_isis]

I can't do that anyway. But yeah, it can be. If I used too much, I could literally burn myself out and die.

[video]

[starcharter]

[Yeah that's. Kind of alarming]

I am sure you know your limits, but still be careful, okay?

[video]

[eye_of_isis]

Oh, trust me. The last thing I want to do is burn myself out like that. It's not pretty.

[video]

[starcharter]

It would be very unpleasant.

I don't think I can help you, but I will wish you luck.
