[Jessica's recovered slightly from the horrible failure that was her first attempt. Now it's time to show the gardens she means business! With the aid of a lot of dirt and a small pile of draft paper.

[First up: three more towers, with windows all around, for lookout. Internal elevators, so people can easily get to the tops. Then, a keep below, fortified and with plenty of rooms for storage and living and doctoring. A high, thick wall encircling, wide enough to walk on, with occasional guardhouses for supply storage. Fortified entrances at each cardinal point. A clear plastic roof stretching over the rest of the complex to shield from aerial attacks. And, once the basic shell is there, something she's been wanting for a while: interior plumbing, plus a sprinkler system just in case.

[She stands back, observing the result with satisfaction. Once she's inspected the area, she opens up a mirror on the vine.]

I've finished the fortress I was planning. If anyone who's an actual fighter or has, y'know, experience with this stuff wants to check it out and make sure it's up to code, that'd be great. Mostly I just want people to know where it is for the next time we get overrun with things trying to kill us. Just look for the towers.

I guess so... but I bet it'd be a pain in the long run if I went out and proved magic to the world.

How so?

Just the publicity alone would be a headache.

You could probably do it on basis of anonymity. The main point is just figuring out that it works and how.

I'd do it if I had any way of scientifically proving things, but... [Sigh.]

It's not really my place to be the one spreading it around, either way. I'm not the one that found out about it...

Well, you could do it as part of a group...

Though, y'know, this is all hypothetical and assuming you could get back. And that James Randi exists on your world.

I guess. *she doesn't seem very keen on the idea, though*

James Randi? *just because she's up to her chin in the supernatural doesn't mean she knows about people who specialize in it XD; *

Would there be a problem with it?

Guy who's offering the money for the challenge.

Well, I guess we could try it anonymously, but it'd make it hard to claim the money from the guy, wouldn't it?

Obviously you'd have to identify yourselves to him, but all the published data would be secret. I guess there's a possibility some kind of leak could happen, but that's going to be the case in everything.

I guess... but it's not like any of us are dying for the money, though.

...

*sigh* There's one person I could think of off hand that would do it for the publicity.

Yeah, though I'd really be all about it for the contribution to science, myself.

Who's that?

Guess we could donate it to charity or something.

Chisato. Another artifact user like me, though she's kind of a spoiled brat.

That'd be great, too.

I never really got people who did things like that for the attention. It seems like it'd be uncomfortable.

Me neither, but I guess that's what makes me not them.

Takes all kinds of people to make a world, right?

Even the assholes.

Heh, yeah.

... I wouldn't quite go as far as calling Chisato an asshole, though. She's at least pretty handy in a fight. She's got too much pride to run away from the big monsters.

Hm. Good on her, then. It seems like most of the put-yourself-forward people I know end up running away when something hits the fan.
