"...and it kinda smelled like bacon."
Jimmy the Intern listened quietly as the disembodied voice of Rei concluded her explanation about just how she could have suddenly found herself so magicially deaf. Nodding slowly, Jimmy began to consider the issue.
"Okay, magic baconfruit. Right," he breathed, running through as many possible solutions he could think of, "Is there anyone else there that can use magic? Like a dispel, um, spell or something?"
"Ummm," Rei replied somewhat nervously, "I think there's maybe a couple people that have spells like that, but they're all a bit busy trying to not die."
The intern sighed. "Ah, well.... Wait. So, this magic, it's the sort of thing you might find in, like, a role-playing game, right?"
Rei considered this, the idea that perhaps all of this was just some game played out in the imaginations of a gaggle of lonely internet hermits, starved for any sort of interaction with the outside world. That she herself was merely a fictional character in a fictional world and, worse, what if all her actions were controlled by some sick, twisted male player? Lord only knows what a pervert like that might do with her rather well-designed frame. The disgusting possibilities flooded her mind, worsened by the concept that everyone she knows and everywhere she's been isn't real, that everyone is just a bunch of puppet for the deranged amusment of--
--Deciding that now was better spent working on a plan to alleviate her current deafness, Rei placed the current train of thought into a sub-directory marked "Philosphy" for later consideration.
"So, role playing game, huh?" she asked Jimmy with marked curiosity, "Please, continue."
*****************
As the android's fist collided with the earth, Rei kept her gaze locked on Bruticus as he attempted to deliver a knee to her head. Her right hand buried in the ground, she immediately moved to block the goon's attack with her left while exapanding her gravity field to envelope Bruticus as well.
The ground around them began to crumble under their combined weight as Rei, legs still in the air from her last attack, sent a spin kick of her own aimed directly for her opponent's head.
