Um, so, hey...

[When Yuna shows up on the monitors this time, it's with a small embarrassed blush on her face.]

I got kind of a cool spell back from my world about a week ago, and I wanted to know if anybody wanted to help me test it out.

[There's a short pause here as she glances somewhat awkwardly from side to side, scratching at her cheek.]

It's probably best if it's someone I already know and trust just because of how this one works, but I guess I can't really be picky.  If you're interested, let me know.

No, like magic.

[thehardway]

Magic.

That's... [Nonsense.] Interesting. What kind of m...mmm.

[Having a hard time saying the word "magic" here.]

Spells. What kind of spells.

1/2

[drank_the_milk]

Okay, can I just get something else out of the way first?

[Without waiting for an answer...]

You're a giant talking robot and that's awesome.

2/2

[drank_the_milk]

...But in this case, we're talking about a spell that makes a magical contract between two people. Or I guess maybe between a person and a robot, in this case?

[thehardway]

That's fine. I've gotten that sometimes, the last time I was on Earth.

A contract? What kind of contract? How much fine print?

[drank_the_milk]

I've always been into that kinda stuff. Robots and guns and military hardware.

[Yeah, she's fangirling just a bit here.]

Well... it's not really a written contract. It's more like a way of sharing power, I guess? And you get a cool artifact out of it, too.

[thehardway]

Technically, I'm a Cybertronian. For the record.

[It's kind of endearing, but he's still kind of baffled by this magic business.]

So it's a power share of sorts. Hm.

What sort of artifacts?

[drank_the_milk]

That's the cool part - it's different depending on who's making the contract. I got a set of magic guns, but one of my classmates got a diary that can read peoples' thoughts. And another girl got a theater mask that makes her invisible while she's wearing it. It all depends on the personality and skills of whoever makes the contract.

[thehardway]

That's very versatile, but I could see all this... this spelling you can do end up as a recipe for trouble.

Of course, this isn't my area of specialty, but I hope that you're responsible about this kind of thing.

[drank_the_milk]

Of course! I don't just go around using this stuff for no reason.

[thehardway]

Good. That's what I like to hear.

I am Ultra Magnus. Second-in-command of the Lost Light. I'd like your name as well.

[drank_the_milk]

Yuna Akashi. I don't really have a cool title.

[thehardway]

Hello, Yuna.

That's fine. Honestly, I haven't met anyone capable of casting spells before. [In case his reaction wasn't obvious enough!] I'd be interested in learning more, and I appreciate your answers.

[drank_the_milk]

Well, if you ever want to learn by doing, I can always try making a contract with you. If you don't mind kissing a human, anyway.

[thehardway]

Oh.

[this got hella uncomfortable]

No thank you.

[drank_the_milk]

It was a joke.
