She spins to look at him.

"I, the, there's, magic is real and in, card form and I accidentally scattered them and they're alive and possibly slaves and the ones that are loose might cause the apocalypse and, and."

Aaaaaand now she's sniffling and starting to cry.

"Okay," says Blair, and he scoops his sister into a hug.

He fixes the bear with a look.

"How does fixing this work?"

The bear is looking at Blair suspiciously. "She will have to capture the cards," he says tentatively.

"Okay. How does she do that, can she start doing that immediately?"

(His sister is now busy crying into his shoulder.)

"...one second."

He crosses his legs, closes his eyes, floats, and glows.

"Sure."

Comforting sister: a thing that is happening. Such hugs.

She starts murmuring a very broken explanation of what events led up to this situation, occasional sob between words.

He comes out of his trance.

"Not immediately, no. She needs to become a cardcaptor, but for now, there's nothing she can do with that."

"Got it. What does becoming a cardcaptor mean, in the immediate sense, besides her assumed ability to capture cards...?"

"What do you mean?"

"What does being a cardcaptor entail aside from presumably capturing cards?" clarifies Blair.

"Taking care of them and making sure they don't fall into the wrong hands."

"And how dangerous is capturing, taking care of them, and making sure they don't fall into the wrong hands? "

"Capturing them can be very dangerous, depending on the card. Taking care of them isn't dangerous, you just talk to them and understand them. Making sure they don't fall into the wrong hands depends."

"On?"

"Who the wrong hands are and what they'll try to do."

Yvette huffs in a grumpy fashion. No duh, bear thing.

"Well, yes," says Blair, "but what's the range of power she might be up against there?"

Shrug. "I've been asleep for thirty years and in the book for more."

"What could a random person do if they were to acquire one of the more dangerous cards?"

"Not very much. A random person can't use a card, so it'd be the same as if the card was wild. You need someone with magic to do it."

Good God, no wonder Yvette is in hysterics. This conversation is beginning to piss Blair off.

"What could someone with magic do with a card, then, and how common is it for people to have magic?"

"It is very rare, and someone with magic could do a lot. The most dangerous card is Nothing. It makes things stop existing."

"... On what scale?"
