"Hey, it's Kate. Leave a message."

No, you're being silly. Aren't you sure you're just too paranoid to kick the ball?

[inmyothertights]

I should just turn you into a frog.

[selfequipped]

Poorly timed parody to illustrate my annoyance.

[A second text follows, with this attached.

"I missed this before" is the note attached.]

text;

[inmyothertights]

Not to worry I'm just demonstrating my wizardly superiority.

You would be a very cute frog.

She's very nosy.

text;

[selfequipped]

Suspiciously pushy.

It's time we pay her a visit.

Of course, we have to ask ourselves one question: where does her bias come from? And is that why she's doing this, or is this a widespread occurrence?

So, John says in his world, magicians are in charge. I'm guessing that probably doesn't actually end well.

And they're from the same place, and all.

text;

[selfequipped]

Does he know her?

text;

[inmyothertights]

I thought that the answer was no, because she knows OF him, but he hasn't said anything about it.

So, who knows.

[selfequipped]

Hey, give me a moment. I'm going to scan the network.

text;

[selfequipped]

[This follows.]

How does this look in context?

text;

[inmyothertights]

Like a lying liar who lies.

Let's pay Mandrake a visit. I get the feeling he'd be interested in this.

Especially since "Lizzie" is apparently the assistant to a magician she hates.

text;

[inmyothertights]

I'll contact him.

text;

[selfequipped]

Do you think she's really immune to magic?

text;

[inmyothertights]

She might be. Some people get power nullification as a power, right? But she's probably not immune to physical things magic produces. Like, if I drop a rock on her, it would hurt her, but I can't turn her into a rock. Maybe?

Who knows.

Here's my thought: she only communicates through text. If we need to find her, it might be easier said than done. I wish ... for more than the obvious of "I like having my team here" ... that David was here. I might need to call in a favor from Skye.

[Which she hopes even works.

She's not exactly on good terms with Skye at the moment.]

If she only communicates through text and she's immune with magic—you see what I'm getting at?

text;

[inmyothertights]

Yeah, we're not going to find her, is what you're saying.

....I could ask Tony.

[NOT TALKING ABOUT DAVID.]

text;

[selfequipped]

[She notices that.

Kate is glad that she has no relationship drama. (Or thinks she doesn't.)]

We're not asking Tony. We ask Skye, and if it fails, I can call in someone else.

Tony isn't on our "go to for favors" list, especially with this.

Besides, I think Lizzie and Tony might get along too well.

text;

[inmyothertights]

[Katie you are so lucky.]

Okay. You're probably right anyway.

text;

[selfequipped]

If we give him any degree of "I trust you," he'll treat it like we opened a door to him. After his interest in you, I'm not okay with that.

text;

[inmyothertights]

Well I mean at least I know not to trust him, right?

text;

[selfequipped]

And Lizzie is immune to you, so you'd be a perfect ally to him right now.

[So, her remark about them being friends, not so off base in Kate's mind.]

text;

[inmyothertights]

Maybe I need to actually start doing things like working out.

text;

[selfequipped]

I work out enough for both of us.

text;

[inmyothertights]

I guess I could just watch you work out.
