That's right. Lambda expects a good show, and so do I. Since I declared myself as your ally, that means you need to give it your all.

[ it's to be expected. Who else would the Witch of Miracles support, if not the most pathetic underdog with a near-zero chance of victory? ]

Beato might be embellishing some things for our benefit, but even if we weren't here, she'd toy with you just as cruelly. No witch ever became one by being kind.

I will. Not for the sake of your amusement, mind you; I am thankful for your support, but I have more riding on this than just the audiences feelings

How does one become a witch anyway?

[ The question seems to come out of nowhere, but he's been thinking about this for some time now. His determination to deny and disprove the entire existence of witches nothwithstanding, it's clear to him now that the world of magic has its own rules and laws he knows nothing about, and all these people calling themselves witches seem to abide by them. Whether it's a shared delusion or a group storytelling exercise is irrelevant, and so is his belief in it; they seem to believe, and that's precisely why he feels he ought to find out more about it, just on the off chance that it might give him an edge in this fight, however small. ]

[ for Battler to ask a question like that is confirmation to her that he really has gotten over the humiliating end of the second game. Good. Maybe now he'll take things more seriously. ]

That depends. The simplest way is for another witch to acknowledge that you've ascended beyond the human level of existence. Of course, that doesn't mean it's the easiest way. You would have to have done something truly impressive to get a witch's attention in the first place.

...i don't get it
are all writers this weird????

[chessboardthinking]

You know what, at this point I really hope so, because I could have sworn this was something writers just did. Im gonna be really annoyed if it turns out its just me

For real though, have you never read a book and wondered what someone you know would do if they were put in the story? Its kinda the same thing, right?

[ Not really, Battler... ]

[penalizing]

do people do that???
like sometimes i'll think about what i'd do in that manga protagonist's place, but i don't really imagine other people like that...
but i don't write stories or anything, so i dunno!!

Ah well. Jessica has never been the most eloquent of people. Mother likes to call it rebellion, but I think she just likes being the way she is.

[ the amount of times lion has had to pinch her just to get her to somewhat behave... ]

Honestly, Ive gotta respect it a little bit. It cant be easy sticking to your guns with this much determination when almost everyone wants you to be different. I just wish she wasnt such a jerk about it sometimes

Uh, dont tell her I said that. I dont want it to go to her head
