"I've actually considered spy work as a potential job, if my second attempt at becoming a magician doesn't work out somehow."

"Just wasn't cut out for the job, really. That's what my tutor told me before he quit training me, anyway." "Probably full of shit if I'm being honest. Might be salty because I sliced his hat in half while practicing card throwing."

Nothing better to do in the middle of an empty circus tent, so Gabby's kinda just practicing... Something. Probably magic. 🎧: ... This isn't working. Why am I here. ♣️: Keep trying, "hero", you'll master it eventually. Oh yeah, Ace from the hit game Pokémon Reborn is here.

"I mean, with enough force they're strong enough to penetrate an apple. Pretty sure top hats are more fragile than apples."

"Things just happen, I guess. Sometimes that's the best explanation, no real need to overthink it." Best strategy for dealing with anything supernatural. Just avoid questions.

"I guess gears and pistons will do that." Motioning to her mechanical arm. Yeah, that makes sense. "I'm left-handed so I thought I'd take a risk using my weaker hand... Yeah, in the moment I forgot I was part machine."

"I always tell people I lost my arm because of an infection, but that's severely downplaying the truth. An infection caused by Eternatus."

And now the people of Reborn are about to witness something incredibly stupid. 🎧: Cameras on? 🪩: Check! 🎧: What about the playlist? 🪩: Got that sorted. 🕸️: ... What are you two even doing?

"I mean, telling the full truth just leads to unnecessary questions. That's why I don't like interviews."

"Like they're fine until they start asking more personal questions." "What's with the eyepatch, why do chairs always start floating around me, why do I like cards, they just won't shut up."

"It's probably a money thing, if I'm being honest. The audience will pay a ton for information like that." Clearly she ain't a huge fan of having a fanbase.

"Got to the point where I'd just transform and hide among the staff so the camera crews wouldn't be able to disturb me."

"Suppose anyone would, really. Always gotta be careful around shapeshifters though, just in case one tries to steal your identity and frame you for crimes."

"... Can't tell if that means what I think it means or if it's something different. Won't judge either way, these things are normal."

New Year stuff obviously happened off-screen and nothing of note is happening, so... Of course Gabby's raiding a fridge while her friends are asleep. Typical.

"Okay, I'm getting the feeling this is /exactly/ what I think it is. No judgement from me, I'm kinda in the same boat."

Following that absolute disaster of a conversation, it's New World time. Casually just staring into the void, completely normal.

"I mean, we're both being extremely vague here. Kinda hard to tell at this point."
