"Only if you're inclined to irresponsible over-speculation."

"In other words, only if you do anything that relies on them having given the truth the whole truth, nothing but."

"If you like."

"Well, anyway! I'll try to help them keep to their projections. Since I don't know how much leeway they have or whether they need a surplus."

Permalink

"And it's better to not overextend yourself while disengaged from your support."

"Right, right, I'll stick to safer things, don't worry."

"Thank you." And here's her stop again.

Naomi goes to school! It is boring, even if she pays attention.

When she gets home she sticks to the kind of experimentation that she can do with minimal magic use. Most of it amounts to organizing and re-organizing the material in her head. She almost clicks through the process of getting onto a proxy while she's waiting for something in her gem to compile before she realizes what she's doing.

Theoretically the internet is endlessly entertaining, but Naomi still feels restless. She clicks through news aggregators and social media and watches a movie while researching different cable properties to memorize.

There are new files on the secure server.

She looks through them and finds security flaws and fixes them and is still bored

 

... she could probably just leave through the window, even though she's grounded. It's not like her parents will notice. Probably. Actually no, if she goes out to MSY headquarters she should probably do it after the time when she's supposed to go to bed.

She texts Ellie.

Getting stir-crazy. Thinking of going out the window and leaving around eleven, when I'm supposed to be in bed. Just to MSY HQ if I can't go anywhere else. Tips for staying unnoticed?

Transform inside with the curtain closed. Stick to rooftops. Wait until your parents have done the last check.

She waits, restraining the impulse to pace. She really shouldn't have let all her attention and interest get eaten up by Spiders, back ... before. She wouldn't be nearly this bored if she had other engaging hobbies -- she used to play video games, sometimes. But no video game compares to the itch she feels when she thinks about MSY. She can't shake the feeling that they only give new girls the information they need to work in the field and no more. She's already worked through the stuff she was handed, and most of it was junk.

She wonders how much Ellie knows and thinks about whether she could get away with asking her directly, without it being suspicious. Her boss would probably know even more.

Starting with Ellie is probably best. Maybe framing it as career advancement, since she was interested in that anyway.

The time nears midnight and she checks to see her parents soundly asleep. She heads out.

Some residual activity from the Bruins game, but the city is mostly quiet.

Good, she won't have to worry about ... whatever msy does to explain away eyewitnesses. She keeps moving.

Permalink

Looks like a patrol over thataways a bit.

Permalink

... the itch is in the direction of MSY headquarters, not here. But she does want combat practice. "Hey!" She calls. "Can I join you?"

Permalink

"Naomi, wasn't it? Did you check with Ellie?"

Permalink

"Oh, should I do that? Sorry." She pulls out her phone.

Ran into the patrol. Mind if I join it?

Permalink
Go ahead. Don't take any foolish risks.
Permalink

Right

"Got a go-ahead." She explains her powers and skillset.

She's paired off with Ashley in red ruffles, hefting a longbow. They stick to the back and provide covering fire.

Permalink

"That's a pretty cool weapon." Small talk: not one of her strong suits.

Permalink

"'S no sniper rifle, but I make do."

Permalink

"Aren't they both powered by magic? In theory the weapon type shouldn't matter as much compared to that, right? At least in the documents I've read where, um, I saw someone with a frying pan weapon and I don't think she fights any worse than someone with a bat ..."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh she is so bad at this and should not be rambling about dossier information, what if she already knows that stuff, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

"Dude. You have a sniper rifle. There's cool, and then there's cool."
