[Mamori might have found Rei to be kind of weird, but hey! He's not a BAD guy! He's a hero just like her! See, he's even working on a quest with her, isn't that grand?? (It isn't. He's doing this specifically to get his hands on the questwriter's potion.)

Rei has pulled up a chair for Mamori in his office at the Roost as they crowd around one of his laptops. Baiting trolls into sending curses is way more his speed than Mamori's after all.]

Ah, that's a nasty one.

[The email they just got, that is. Rei hasn't clicked on it yet, but the subject line and the message preview is something like EAT SHIT: What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little wench? I'll have you know I g.......]

Are you sure you should be doing this quest, Mamori-chan? [Eleven year olds aren't supposed to see swears.]

[mamowavin]

I- I'm sure! [ Mamori doesn't need to know what all those words mean ("shit"? "fuck"?) to know how mean the message is! And that's reason enough for her to want to help the poor questwriter.

... even if she has her questions. Like this one, as she looks away from the nasty swears and up at Rei, holding her potion bottle carefully in her hands. ] But how do we use the potion? [ She... really doesn't have a lot of experience in that department. ]

[groundzeroes]

That's easy. You drink it, right? [Rei speaks as if he has reams of experience with potions, but it's more like he just goes with the flow.] It alters our physical makeup to be transferable through electronic networks, I'm thinking.

[Rei uncorks his and swallows it with demonstrative flair. Hmm, tastes kinda metallic. Gross.]

You wanna do the honors, sweetheart, or shall I?

[mamowavin]

[ Perhaps she should let the adult go first... but what if there's something really scary on the other side of the network? Rei might be a hero just like her, but she can't help but worry over the "what if". She's not toting her axe around this time, but she can still put up a fight...!!

(an 11-year-old is calling you weak, rei. how's that ego holding up?)

She lacks flair, but after Rei's demonstration she gulps hers down with no hesitation. ... okay, slight hesitation, because it tastes gross. B-but she got it down just fine! ]

I will go first. [ If it's as simple as he makes it sounds, then... once the email's open, she touches the laptop screen. And it's strange, because screens are normally solid, right? - but it's akin to a body of water's surface. Her fingers pass through with little resistance and it's... unlike anything she's felt before. More tingly than a bath or pool, probably because of the whole electrical bit.

She leans forward, reaching further and further in, until she's able to grasp at one of the words in the email ("wench", to be exact) and- poof! Off she goes, presumably, to wherever the rude cyber bullies may be. ]

[groundzeroes]

[Rei watches her go with an enigmatic smile. Well, if she's going first.... he'll give her a few minutes by herself. She'll be fine!

On the other side of the screen, Mamori has unceremoniously busted in on the enterprising cyberbullies. They look... shockingly normal, actually? They're just a bunch of assholeish smug-looking guys, crowded into a studio apartment lit mostly by the eerie blue light of countless computer screens. Her sudden entrance is pretty noisy, the commotion knocking a keyboard and ceramic mug off the desk. The objects clatter to the ground, startling the occupants.

"What the--?!" the nearest one yelps. The shock in his voice is slightly pained from the coffee he spilt in his lap when he jumped.]
