Hoh?

[ Crossing arms... leaning in... boy oh boy are those some very CHECKMATE, ATHEIST raised eyebrows happening right now. Cuteness? Irrelevant. She can use that for ammunition later when there's bigger fish to fry — one that he's served up to her in a silver platter, no less! How generous. ]

You'd figure spasms would've been long gone if that lightning was as subpar as you said it was.

[LEANS BACK. . .he scowls, the sheer audacity this girl has. ]

I'm still healing, it's just annoying. The point is your magic is weak shit, and this ain't about me! Are you not getting it through yer head that I could skewer you if I wanted?

[calmomile]

[ Ah, yes. The most reasonable response when menaced with getting turned into a shish kebab must surely be: ]

Ok. So?

[ Nothing says zero fucks given like looking someone right in the eye and responding with a big, fat, "aight, bet". And he'd just be giving her another opportunity to nerd out about his COOL VINES, so... joke's on him. ]

Gimme a ballpark estimate. How much do you need a next shot juiced up for it to start meeting your questionable standards?

[brother_nature]

If you weren't so tiny I'd say you have some big balls, girly.

[Honestly!! He thinks about it for like, a split second, but nope, no more plant sneak peeks for her right now.]

Hah. . .something strong enough to burn me down to my bones, if it can melt my skin off all the better. I need to know exactly what I can come back from here.

[calmomile]

You've got it backwards. Your bones would be ash by the time the rest of you reached a melting point.

[ Why does she know that... you know what, better not to ask. Not when she's saying it so casually and still clearly thinking it over like a Totally Normal Academic Exercise. ]

Higher power and longer duration, huh? Power's not a problem, but duration is different.

[brother_nature]

Do I look like a scientist? How the hell would I know that? [Maybe if someone could TURN HIS BONE TO ASH he'd know that too, gosh!!]

..........so what would ya need for duration?

[Said only with slight hesitance, but. It's still audible.]

[calmomile]

[ HMMMMMMM...... processing... processing... ]

No idea. Natural lightning doesn't usually last longer than 10 seconds or so.

[ Oops, lol. Mayou has the nerve to sound all cheerful about it too, because who doesn't love running clinical trials on bone hurty electrojuice from time to time, right? Riiight?
But! She's giving it a serious thinking over, so it's not like Chobe's going to get left in the lurch on his lightning rod meme dreams. ]

Consecutive strikes with the power cranked all the way up might work. I'll workshop a bit and see what comes up.

[brother_nature]

Terrifying! Lookin' forward to it.

[Deep down he feels like he's made a mistake, but also: he's too proud to admit that or go back on a deal. He stands, brushing himself off as he needs to find some fucking clothes.]

Tell me if the payment's increased cuz of this, but otherwise, I'll leave ya to it.
