"Can you give a quick summary?" Mercedes says. "Five minutes."

...Okay. She can do that. 

Her summary is...more dry and technical than most teenage girls would probably prefer. 

They listen anyway, but Mercedes cuts her off at about four and a half, and then it's Brooklyn's turn to give a presentation, which is on the subtleties of skin repigmentation vs. tattoos vs. makeup ways to get skin designs.

This is an interesting topic! Katarzyna takes notes. 

Skin repigmentation carries point value (but not much) and the other two don't. Makeup can smudge easily, but can get effects that can't be straightforwardly managed with tattoos alone, such as gloss and the cool magnetic nail polish thing which with this one weird trick can be applied to non-nail surfaces that don't have to bend or stretch much. Tattoos are ideal for any situation where they'll serve but can smudge or stretch if left unattended for a long time - not something that newish magical girls constantly updating their looks run into, but it happens with older ones.

That makes sense! Katarzyna makes a note to periodically check tatoos for smudging or stretching. 

When Brooklyn is done everyone gets to the appropriate form of exercise for their body plan!

Flying continues to be great!!! Especially flying with Isabella!!!!!

Yup! "What kinds of things are on the odious paperwork?"

"Power stuff, hours availability, waivers..."

"I guess they probably don't have a lot of room to trim it down."

"Most likely. On the other hand, filling out a mildly obnoxious amount of forms with clear unambiguous answers is still less difficult and unpleasant than conducting an interview with someone who's judging me based on social signals that go over my head."

"Are you sure they don't have a step that's that?"

"No."

"Well, good luck."

"Thank you. If I have to sit through an interview I will manage."

"I might want to do hospital volunteering at some point too but it'd probably have to be an enormous hospital to use me, I'm only even potentially handy in very specific situations."

"Enormous hospitals do exist."

"Yeah. Might need to be in an enormous city though."

"Phoenix isn't small but I take your point."

"I think I might be good at cancer so I probably want some very classy cancer hospital where people come in from out of state with their various cancers."

"Oooh."

"I'm not sure how good I am at cancer, because I don't know if stopping a cancer kills it or just prevents it from progressing, but I probably at least combine well with all the conventional cancer-killing solutions."

"I imagine. I wonder if you can stop a chemo patient's hair from falling out."

"I doubt that. It's not falling out because something accelerates it away from the scalp, it's falling out because the follicles are dying or something."
