Eliana does, though. Ordinary magic is not working, for some reason, so she's made a small cut on her hand. Clenching the fist, she draws the power from the blood to create a fist of force, hammering down from the sky to knock the woman down.

Now she's dangerous!

Also that doesn't work.

The woman didn't even bother reacting.

"I just finished ripping apart a god with my bare hands. You're cute, so I'll tolerate a few questions, in exchange for a few of my own, and if you don't piss me off I don't decide to see what you bleed, hm?"

(Hisame's giggling and wishing she had popcorn.)

"How does one rip a god apart?"

"By being better than it."

"Where are you from?"

"A place far from here. What made it a god?"

"Being one of the dancers in the Void."

"The three of you are from different places. What are they like?"

"My world is more like this than either of theirs. Is there music to dance to in the Void?"

"If you listen. Sometimes it sounds like screaming."

"Were you always the kind of thing you are now?"

"No. Were you?" She swaps a ghost out and starts it looking for a power combination that can hurt this woman without leaving her vulnerable.

"Had a very dramatic change of state quite recently."

"What are your intentions here?"

"We're just looking for a good time. What prompted your change of state?"

"Aren't we all."

"And a train wreck."

"And what does your fun look like? Should I be pointing you to the dance hall, the tea rooms, more choice pursuits?"

"In the last city we visited, we assassinated the head of state, the chief of police, and the local military command structure before publicly torturing and executing a high priest in order to spark a revolution and a citywide descent into anarchy. So I suppose that would be the choice pursuits. Why is everyone here so afraid?"

"The person whose body this usually is might object to some of that."

"They're afraid because the wall's been growing lately."

"Who put the wall there?"

"No one."

"Are you the only one in your head?"

"Yes. What would happen if it were removed?"

"This city would crumble into the Void. Or the Void would crumble into the city. Hard to say."

"And that sounds very lonely. How does your magic work, if you don't have someone to help?"

"Well enough for most purposes. How did the wall come to be?"

"It formed when the cities broke."

"What do your ghosts do, then?"

"What they were designed to. How long has it been since the citites broke?"

"Since before I can remember."

"Who designed them?"

"A blind, idiot god. How many cities are there?"

"Thousands."

"Why do you have the powers you do?"
