"You been hanging out with -" Lexi waves at the party setup. "This crowd for a long time?"

[toblameforit]

"A while, I guess. I dunno, I kind of lost track a little."

[lexicality]

"I didn't know magic existed, like at all, even the kind we have in this world, till like a week ago, and you know the very first thing magic did? It tricked me into letting it possess me to destroy the world. So not cool."

[toblameforit]

"Wow, that sucks," says Tony.

[lexicality]

"I know, right? But Bella fixed it. Bella's smart. The way it tricked me in the first place was it was all 'I can offer you limitless power' -" Lexi does an impression of the robotic voice of the control program - "and I was like 'cool, let's hook my sister up with that, because if I get instead I'll be lucky if I get Christmas off, she will guilt me into using my powers for good, like, constantly' and it was like 'I cannot wait' and I was like 'oh fine'."

[toblameforit]

"How'd she fix it?"

[lexicality]

"I don't know all the details, 'cause I was being possessed and couldn't see what was going on, but I think she picked up Brilliance-being-a-staff-thing and shot at it a lot or something. And then I woke up and she was wearing her magical girl outfit."

[toblameforit]

"The magical girl outfit is kind of awesome."

[lexicality]

"It kind of is! Very tasteful, very if Bella's going to wear a magical girl outfit it should obviously be this one."

[toblameforit]

"Almost makes me want one."

[lexicality]

Lexi giggles. "Apparently they come with having a device? Like, Brilliance is Bella's device. But he doesn't seem to think people should usually have devices. Or maybe it's that people shouldn't make devices. Or something. He made her a little tiny one that doesn't talk, maybe that's different, but it doesn't have a dress that comes with. So I don't have one and I don't know how you'd get one either."

[toblameforit]

"If I want a magical girl outfit," he says, "I bet you I can get a magical girl outfit. Maybe not exactly the same kind, I guess."

[lexicality]

"Yeah, not a magically designed one, you could wear whatever you want but it wouldn't just get pulled out of noplace like Bella's."

[toblameforit]

"Wonder if I could get one of the Jokers to make me one, I hear Jokers and clothes is a thing."

[lexicality]

"Is it? Brilliance seems to just go around in that T-shirt with his deck of cards design on it and jeans."

[toblameforit]

"I mean," he amends, "there's a bunch of Jokers who like, make and design clothes, it's a common hobby with those guys, I don't know if Brilliance isn't into it or just hasn't gotten around to it or what."

[lexicality]

"Huh." Lexi scuffs her foot on the floor. "I should have a hobby. I don't really, I used to do whatever Renée was doing, crafts and exotic kinds of yoga and whatnot, but nothing stuck."

[toblameforit]

"Can't help you there, unless you want to take up engineering," says Tony. "Or video games."

[lexicality]

"I might like video games! We could never afford a system since Bella doesn't like them enough to ever pool our Christmas or birthday wishlists for it, but I used to like going over to friends' who had 'em," says Lexi. "Oh man, that's probably not even a problem any more, I can just," she brandishes her demo triangle, "magic up whatever."

[toblameforit]

"Okay, let's conjure a Super Nintendo and play Mario Kart," says Tony.

[lexicality]

"Yeah!" Lexi picks a little more aggressively at her hangnail, gets enough squares to produce the TV and the console and the cartridge and the controllers, wishes them all into existence, and then makes two more squares so they can have a sofa too. She turns the whole setup on with her triangle, just for fun.

[toblameforit]

Tony beams and flops onto the couch and picks up a controller.

[lexicality]

Lexi, predictably, plays as Princess Peach.

[toblameforit]

Tony giggles uproariously, and plays as Mario.

[lexicality]

Lexi is reasonably good at Mario Kart considering her inexperience; she is a crack shot with green shells and after one false start rarely drives off the track.
