Is it interesting, though? Or, like, what's it like?

"It's sort of like... chemistry, though you're probably not old enough to have gotten into the right sort of chemistry."

She's done a little bit of chemistry but not enough to know how other things could be like it, yeah. Well, she'll check it out if she's here long enough to get to it.

"It really is very dangerous and you probably shouldn't take it up."

- is it dangerous just to learn? She wasn't planning on doing any, she just likes learning stuff.

"It's not dangerous just to learn, no. Just making sure you get that it's dangerous to do."

Yeah, she does.

It's - she's been in situations that were worse than dying. She's pretty chill about making that choice for herself. But she caught that runecasting is blow-up-the-Avalon dangerous, and that's not a choice she gets to make for anyone else.

"Yeah. I think it's important that it be investigated at all, or I wouldn't have gotten into it, but most people are probably right to leave it alone."

Yeah.

Maybe if May can get to her world they can help. More people could know about it, and scientists, and magical girls get precognition and prophecies and stuff sometimes.

"- oooh, that's a great idea. World full of public magic and another system to synergize with."

Mmhmm. Monsters could move there, too, maybe. Like it wouldn't be perfect, people would think they were cryptids at first, but it'd be better than here probably.

"Some monsters live in low population density areas on this Earth too, but it's getting harder."

That's good. But libraries and being able to see the sky are both important.

"I assume people vary in how much that matters to them."

As examples, though. People shouldn't have to be lucky to get what they need like that, whatever it is.

"Is that how it works where you're from?"

That people have to get lucky? Yeah, sometimes. Her magic was her luck, like that. Most of the kids in the institution she grew up in didn't get lucky at all.

It's not something that can always be fixed. But when you can, it's important.

"I'm not sure I'd prioritize access to sunsets high up on a list of things that are important to fix."

She shrugs.

It's not the sunsets exactly. It's the not being stuck. It's hard to get if you haven't been, but it really can be that important.

"Well, hopefully I can send you home and you won't be stuck."

Yeah.

"Working on it."

She does appreciate it.

How hard will it be to set it up so May gets any money she still has from selling pearls after she goes, she wonders. There might be a lot of it, if she's planning like she's staying.

"I guess the easiest way is to keep it all in cash or in my Paypal account, and have me hold it while I cast the spell."

Yeah, that works.
