"Just pure luck that a government employee was hit, really."

"A female government employee was outside during the middle of the day, got hit by a piece of a meteor and seems to have obtained an invaluable power for the regulation of magical individuals, not to mention figured out what it is, which would probably require the presence of another magical individual, mind you, gone back to her superiors, then immediately put back into service, no questions asked, all of this within a couple of hours? You'll forgive me if I find the idea that that was just a stroke of luck a little... implausible, shall we say."

"And everything else seems perfectly logical to you?"

[Harry Baldman]

"And everything else seems perfectly logical to you?"

"I may not, very much like probably anyone here, know anything about magic or how it works, indeed, I didn't think it even existed up until an hour or so ago, and judging from the information I've been given, it apparently didn't. But from what I know of governments, one thing they never are is highly efficient. How could they possibly mobilize for a completely unprecedented, impossible-according-to-current-paradigm event within such short notice? I honestly doubt a stuffy Japanese bureaucrat went 'Oh no! Meteors are falling from the sky! Assemble a team of our finest wizards within the hour, domestic security agencies!' So that raises some questions."

"But that might just be me. Speaking of, who might you be? You don't look like a government operative. Are you one of these 'magical girls'?"

[USEC_OFFICER]

"I'm in the exact same position you're in, lady."

[RangerCado]

Minu is still dead...

[Harry Baldman]

"I'm in the exact same position you're in, lady."

"Do you hear voices telling you to destroy, kill and maim everything, screaming inside your head until you can do nothing but comply to make the assault momentarily abate before resuming with the same force, loosening your grasp on sanity with every insistent shout? I do, and I would say insanity is hardly the lighthearted fun and freedom from society's mores some paint it to be."

Kimiko rolls her eyes, "I meant that I got struck by the meteor too. Not my fault you're hearing voices."

"Frankly, all of this seems a bit implausible. Part of me is hoping I wake up and discover that the world isn't crazy."

[Harry Baldman]

Kimiko rolls her eyes, "I meant that I got struck by the meteor too. Not my fault you're hearing voices."

"Yes, I do believe it isn't. I lost the draw on that one something fierce. Anything interesting happen to you?"

"Frankly, all of this seems a bit implausible. Part of me is hoping I wake up and discover that the world isn't crazy."

"All I'm saying here is that it certainly seems like someone knows what's going on, and that this person is quite important. I'm rather glad, because it increases the chances that I won't die horribly, even if it is by only a smidgen."

(Just embrace your fame and it will all be good. Also, don't cause massive property damage.)

(never!)

"Just a concussion..."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"Uh.

Could I get my wrist looked at?"

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Uh.

Could I get my wrist looked at?"

"Hm? What's wrong with your wrist?"

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"I sprained it when the meteor hit me."

[GreatWyrmGold]

Taisho relaxes.
"Good. Well, not good, but much less bad than I feared. Um, go get a doctor or something. Here," he scribbles a note. "Find a doctor who isn't doing open-heart surgery or something important lime that."
