Bella moves. It's uneventful. She's not thrilled with the rain.
New kid shows up at the high school the next day. Hello, the high school. Hello, the students in the high school.
Hello, Jessica.
Jessica's very talkative. It's almost hypnotic.
"So what's Arizona like?"
"Well, sunnier."
"I bet! Wow, have you ever seen snow before?"
"On TV."
"Ha ha ha! Oh man is everybody really tan? Do you hang out at the pool all year round ogling boys?"
"I'm a little too gay to ogle boys."
"Oh! Oh wow. Okay. So um, I know this is a really small town, but guess what?" says Jessica.
"What?" asks Bella.
"We actually have a lesbian here! HEY SOLVEI!" Jessica hollers across the entire cafeteria.

So probably not the most efficient thing I could try. Pity. That would be... interesting.

Well, if you can figure out how to pull off the relevant murder with a wish that is having-two-bodies-themed that'll make it cheaper. Right?
Right.
gloriousdawn
We could probably unify 'steal all of her magic' and 'give ourselves a second body' if we tried, but it might be better to go for something more... broadly useful. Having two bodies is not a tremendous magical advantage as magical advantages go, especially if they can't go more than a hundred meters from each other.

Right. Well, it was a thought. She gets up (and puts Kyubey from her lap onto Solvei's head) to go check the steak.

Now Solvei has a cute fluffy alien on her head. Whatever will she do.
Apparently what she will do is think about desirable superpowers some more.
So let's see. We could try to get some kind of telekinesis or small-object-teleportation power to get Ghyslaine's gem away from her before she can do anything to us. We could try to get some kind of stealth or self-teleportation power to sneak up on her. Telekinsesis can also be good for smashing things, I imagine. It would be really nice if we knew in advance which of these things were actually likeliest to work.

The steak is fine. Yeah. Kyubey, are there any special restrictions about magically affecting others' soul gems?
The other girl will instinctively resist things that affect her like that with her own magic. If nothing else happens, it's an endurance or an efficiency cost. But a wish specialized for the purpose could make that easy to win.
gloriousdawn
Hmm. If we wished for telekinesis, and specifically wanted it to be effective against gems...?
A lot could still depend on how much magic you had and how much she had. A wish you feel more strongly about will get better results there. But you might succeed like that as long as she didn't stop you somehow before she ran out of magic.
gloriousdawn
It's unfortunate that our wish is so constrained by what will help us not immediately die.
onceandforall
Especially since you've got more room than I do. Yeah. No point dwelling on it unless there's a nonmagical murder attempt you'd previously sat on that you're willing to make with an emergency wish in the queue.
