She does not mind taking counterfeit currency and she sells everything.
Bella is going to exploit the fuck out of that but first she is eating really, really good pad thai and finally talking to a person who is a) interesting b) not someone she has already talked to a lot in the last... several years. Lovely friendly bar who makes a lovely delicious pad thai! Bella will have to try opening that door at that moment again in the past.
"Sometimes the girls are transgender? But yeah, everybody answers to 'she'. The fluffs don't know why but girls seem to have more, I don't know, energy-efficient emotional processing or something. Why?"
"My system admits to both genders, although girls are more common, and I'm bisexual, your system only has girls and you're a lesbian."
"There are straight puella magi. And bisexual ones. No correlation, far as I know. Although I've had straight ones tell me they're jealous because they're spending half their energy budget protecting their boyfriends from the various hazards of being nonmagical."
"Emily being my name, were we ever properly introduced? And she's Edie, and also incompetently trying to flirt with you."
"...I'm Bella. Aaaand I'm legally seventeen, mentally like twenty-three, have spent the last several years in a time loop, and have not picked up the skill of flirting in that time."
"...As an interested party who is not going to forget you in less than a month, would you like to practice flirting and possibly related activities?"
"I wish I could say that's the worst pickup line I've ever heard," she mutters under her breath.
"Don't knock it, it's working," Bella says to Emily. "And yes let's. ...Here we are in a bar. I could buy you a drink. I mean, Bar will give you a drink for free, but if you continued to be thirsty after that."
"I actually had my free drink while you were wandering around in the Mind Mirror. That--sounds lovely."
"Uh, not actually alcohol, I like things more on the chocolate-nut-caramel side of the flavor spectrum more than fruity things?"
Blushing is a two-person activity today, apparently. "...I'm trying to think of things to say and all I've got is shop talk."
"Magic is fun? Magic is cool? I mean, it could be worse, I at least also know magic stuff, it's not like you'd that one guy who keeps nattering about his job to a bored but polite captive audience."
"Yeah. Magic is fun and cool. For example, fun fact, I do a backflip as part of my new transformation sequence, I can totally do that, but back when I actually inhabited my body instead of just using it as a mannequin for my shiny purple self I could barely walk without falling over. I can dance now, if I want, it's great."
"Dancing is fun! I'm not as...enthusiastic about it as Emily is, I know how to waltz and a couple of other things, she knows everything I do and also imitates music videos like Caramelldansen and Moskau, but it's definitely fun. The transformation sequence would let you do a backflip unimpeded even if you were otherwise half-paralyzed, though, it's funny like that. And being transformed gives you nice boosts to most physical things like strength and so on but also including reflexes."
"Huh, if I were paralyzed, would I just - backflip then go back to being paralyzed after I was all shinied up?"
"Like, by half-paralyzed I mean you can move, it's just sluggish and difficult. I haven't actually met but have read about this one girl who's paraplegic and her costume and therefore transformation sequence involve ribbons she's telekinetic with wrapped around her legs and lower torso."
