"Those are neat."

"Most things are if you look at them the right way. At least if you're an enormous nerd. More people should be enormous nerds, it's fun."

"It is!"

"I guess it's less fun if you're not as good at it, though, like a lot of things."

"Yeah, I try to be sympathetic to people who cannot have fun with being huge nerds."

"It must be terrible. I can only imagine."

"Those poor things. They have to play sports."

"And gratuitously violent video games!"

"And go on drunken escapades!"

"And consume questionable substances!"

"And watch happenstance dramas and slices-of-life and informationals on TV all day!"

"All day? And on top of all those other things? Gosh, not being a nerd must be so busy."

"They have the TV on in the background while they do the other stuff."

"Oh, that makes much more sense."

"Of course. They are not nerdy enough to have worked out how to toy with the workings of time."

"They could get nerds to do it for them!"

"Somehow this doesn't seem to have occurred to them? Or else we're falling down on the job. - Time travel magic yes or no."

"No."

"Good, that would've been kinda freaky."

"Yeah, no kidding."

"...speaking of freakiness how much do I have to worry about people with magic themed like yours who aren't you."

"--Uh, I wouldn't worry about it at all while not out magical girling, and it doesn't come up often even then."

"...okay."

"Sometimes magical girls have--not artifacts, but detachable parts of their costumes, basically--remember the halberd?"

"Yeah?"
